Pre-Configured for Your Success
Looking to power up your test cell? Consider one of Genuen’s off-the-shelf solutions for multi-loop control and data acquisition. Products range from the 19" rack-mountable Rapid II to the DynEDGE and ServoEDGE pre-configured rack systems, all standardized on the same technology platform.
Rapid II
Engineered to reduce test cell complexity, Rapid II is a 19" rack-mountable controller built on NI cRIO, NI VeriStand, and Genuen's INERTIA test cell software. It offers high-speed, 4-channel PID and includes ample I/O for system control and data acquisition.
DynEDGE
DynEDGE is a dyno test cell controller built on NI PXI hardware, NI VeriStand, and Genuen’s INERTIA test cell software. Differences with ServoEDGE: 28 more thermocouple channels, 2 frequency inputs, 2 encoder inputs, and 6 more differential voltage inputs.
ServoEDGE
ServoEDGE is a servo-hydraulic test cell controller built on NI PXI hardware, NI VeriStand, and Genuen’s INERTIA test cell software. Differences with DynEDGE: includes ±100 mA output drive for controlling actuators as well as 4 LVDT inputs.
