TEST AUTOMATION
Maximum efficiency through intelligent test stand automation
Test stands are at the heart of modern development and test processes. Well-designed automation removes sources of error, increases efficiency and makes results repeatable. TMX Solutions provides custom automation for your test stands: PLC programming, data acquisition, integration of field buses and interfaces, and complex open- and closed-loop control algorithms.
Our experience from many projects shows that early, sound automation planning pays off. Wrong decisions at the start cause high follow-up costs. Rely on our expertise for a reliable, future-proof automation solution.
THE SOLUTION
Our test stand automation services
Modular, flexible software architecture
Our test stand software is modular and flexible, so it adapts to your specific requirements. Graphical configuration makes it simple and intuitive to manage your test tasks.
PLC programming
Our specialists program your controllers with proven systems such as Siemens TIA Portal and Beckhoff TwinCAT. We pay attention to functionality and to a clear, maintainable structure. Your benefits:
- Efficient control of your test stand
- Flexible adaptation to new requirements
- Future-proof, maintainable software
System integration
PROFINET, EtherCAT, CANopen or serial protocols such as RS-232: we make sure your systems communicate smoothly. We integrate:
- Field buses and industrial networks
- Databases for central measurement data storage
- External software such as Vector, INCA or dSPACE
- Connections to building services systems
Control engineering
Speed, force or temperature control: many test stand applications need complex control loops. We develop and optimize your controls with:
- Modeling up front
- Frequency response analysis and step response measurement
- Adaptive algorithms
Data acquisition and analysis
From raw data to insight: our solutions capture measurement data synchronously and with high accuracy. We rely on:
- Data acquisition systems from leading manufacturers
- Automated trigger and logging functions
- Professional analysis tools and reports
Safety concepts
Our safety solutions meet current standards and integrate efficiently with your existing control systems. We rely on:
- Programmable safety controllers (e.g. Pilz PNOZmulti, Siemens Safety Integrated)
- Compliance with current safety standards
- Tailored safety concepts for test stand installations
Custom software
Many test stand applications need specific software. We develop:
- .NET tools in C# for automating sequences
- User-friendly GUIs for control and visualization
- Plug-ins and extensions for existing measurement and test software
Test stand automation is more than connecting components. We shape many individual parts, components and devices into one coherent whole: your custom test stand.
