Eddy Current Power Amp has modular, universal design.
Press Release Summary:
Able to interface with Dyne Systems dynamometer controllers or industrial PCs-/PLC-based controllers running third party software, DS820 intelligent universal Power Amplifier Unit (PAU) displays real-time field current, input command, status, and fault messages on front panel diagnostic LCD. Analog 0-10 Vdc input enables unit to be used as standalone, open-loop eddy current power amp or incorporated into existing test cells with fully integrated closed-loop control units.
Original Press Release:
Improved Universal Eddy Current Power Amplifier Unit Introduced
Intelligent PAU interfaces with any PC/PLC based dynamometer controller
Dyne Systems introduces the DS820, an intelligent, third generation, universal Power Amplifier Unit (PAU) with an improved digital design that offers greater flexibility for upgrading both existing test cells and new test installations. The DS820 interfaces with all existing Dyne Systems dynamometer controllers or industrial PCs/PLC based controllers running third party software. The DS820's versatility allows it to be used by gas or diesel engine rebuilders, AC or DC motor rebuilders, OEMs, independent testing houses and universities.
The DS820 provides a unique set of features. The front panel diagnostic LCD display eliminates guesswork by displaying real time field current, input command, status and fault messages. Error messages can also be reported via PLC level I/O to external controls. An analog 0 to 10v DC input enables the unit to be used as a standalone, open loop eddy current power amplifier or incorporated into existing test cells with fully integrated closed loop control units.
The modular construction allows the DS820 to be interfaced with different dynamometer control components. With significantly increased current capabilities, this unit is available in standard rack mounted versions up to 30 amps as well as traditional wall mounted units rated 15, 30, 50, and 100 amps up to 480v AC. Higher non-standard amp ratings can easily be custom engineered. Set up is simple and straight-forward.
For customers who prefer leading edge performance and test cell integration from a single provider, Dyne Systems' new DS820 is the optimal solution. The DS820 easily integrates into Dyne Systems' product family of dynamometer and control equipment including the Inter-loc V Dynamometer and Throttle Controls, Companion II Data Acquisition units, Cell Interface PLC's, and Cell Assistant Test Automation software.
