RAPID Test Cell Controller

RAPID is an integrated, multi-loop control and data acquisition system for test cell applications, designed to provide maximum performance at an affordable price. It features high-speed, 4 kHz digital PID loop closure with spare analog and digital inputs to provide extensive data-logging capabilities. This 19” 3U rack-mount controller provides real-time control and acquisition for dynamometers and servo-hydraulics test cell applications, with the flexibility to tackle a wide assortment of custom test applications.

The RAPID controller comes with standard, preconfigured I/O and a desktop computer preloaded with INERTIA_LT control software. The controllers are well-suited for engineers looking to replace legacy controllers, or to add functionality to existing systems. With the RAPID controllers, engineers benefit from features including:

• Out-of-the-box functionality with quick installation and easy configuration
• Deterministic performance and reliability with the power of FPGA
• Easy connectivity and wiring to I/O, safety circuits, and various signal conditioning options
• Extensive software capabilities including easy, user-configurable screens, flexible control settings, test profile creation, and data logging
• Cost-efficient, open-source solutions for multi-axis control and data acquisition

The RAPID controller is ideal for motion control and data acquisition applications, including dynamometers, hydraulics test systems, and other test cell applications including:

• Materials load frame testing
• Small engine test cells
• Tire lab testing
• Engine and transmission remanufacturing
• Contract lab testing
• Block cycle testing
• Component testing

Contact us for pricing and more information on the RAPID controller. Training and support services are also available for configuration, integration, startup, or per person on-site instruction.

For high channel-count systems, ask a Wineman representative about upgrading to a higher performance system with features such as unlimited PIDF loops, CAN bus communication, and model-based control.

Learn more about our products or request a consultation with an experienced engineer.
