Third Generation Integrated Multi Axis Control System (IMACS2 – Hydraulic):
– High speed, (24 bit) digital servo-control, 2 axis (actuator and confining pressure)
– Acquisition and Control – 2 axis control
(actuator and confining pressure),up to 8 channel data-acquisition
(actuator displacement, axial load, confining pressure, temperature and 4x
normalised transducer inputs for displacement, etc
– 24 bit resolution ADC controller.
– Sampling rate up to 200kHz. Simultaneous sampling of all channels.
– Automatic Plug and Play transducer with TEDs Modules, automatically
uploading calibration files and preventing human error
– Gigabit Ethernet for UTS/UTS Neutron interface
– 10/100Mb Ethernet for Internet access, Data share (e.g., Remote Diagnostics, Upgrades)
