Based on the popular PowerNet series of data acquisition and control systems, PowerNet TD is designed to provide a comprehensive, easy to use data acquisition and control system for all AIDCO customers. PowerNet TD utilizes a Windows-based computerized data acquisition system to monitor and record speeds, torque, pressures, temperatures, flow rates, and shift events.
In addition to advanced monitoring and recording, PowerNet TD enables AIDCO users to run an automated test procedure for electronically controlled transmissions. This not only ensures consistent repeatability of test procedures, but provides a record of performance parameters exhibited during a test.
Designed for ease of use, PowerNet TD allows for easy configuration of instrumentation, operator designated warnings for High/Low limits, and operator customized full-feature data reports.
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 manufactures and supplies a wide variety of transmission testing options for the PowerNet TD data acquisition and control system, including additional sensors for temperatures and pressures and a variety of application-specific sensors.
