Module Automat

Task

Software design and development for a test and configuration bench for quartz calibration. This test bench is integrated seamlessly into the production process; a superordinate PLC controls the device flow.

Requirements

Consideration of several aspects of a production subprocess (cycle time, malfunction behaviour etc.)
Completely unrestricted creation of new test runs, also for still unknown devices
Manual operation and selftest for periodic test bench examination
Test progress indication and qualitative calibration rating; defective devices are locked out
PLC communication via RS232

Test Bench with LabVIEW Application Running

Solution

Software development and programming in LabVIEW (National Instruments). Control and data acquisition with Digital I/O Card PCI-7432 (AdLink), Relay Card ME-630 (Meilhaus), DMM 6001 (Prema) via GPIB, Twin Power Supply 8842 (Toellner) via GPIB and Universal Counter 6720 (Toellner) via GPIB. Dynamic implementation of new test runs created as VI.
