The PowerNet CD Commander is specifically designed for use with chassis dynamometer systems. PowerNet CD utilizes a networked computer system to provide automated, repeatable vehicle tests - all controlled from a touch screen device operated from the driver's seat. During a test, the operator is prompted with simple, step-by-step instructions, and the computer does all of the work.
When connected to the PowerNet CD system, vehicles equipped with an ECM interface can transmit valuable engine data, which is automatically merged with dynamometer information to be viewed and stored, reported, and graphed. This information can be easily viewed from the hand held control.
PowerNet's user interface was designed to offer a wide range of configuration options, while remaining easy-to-use. Sensor configuration is achieved through an on-screen menu system that provides a visual representation of each sensor input. Each gauge's display can show test ranges, have alarm conditions assigned to them, and be customized to desired units. Once an operator has set PowerNet's gauges to the desired ranges, all testing configurations can be saved to the system's hard drive and recalled as needed.
Gathering and organizing test data has never been easier. Commander can be configured to automatically store test data at predetermined intervals or the operator can grab data points manually. Commander can output this data in graphs, tables, and test report forms with your company's custom logo and address.
Power Test provides an ECM Interface as an option to our standard PowerNet LT package. This option displays important information from electronic engines, such as engine sensors, pressures, and temperatures.
In addition, Power Test manufactures and supplies a wide variety of in-frame testing options for the PowerNet CD data acquisition and control system, including additional sensors for temperatures and pressures, fuel measurement systems, smoke opacity and exhaust gas analyzers, as well as ECM communications and a variety of application-specific sensors.
