InCircuit Test System
MCD developed an InCircuit test system for a sensor specialist. It is a semi-automatic test station with integrated rotary table that tests assembled electronic modules such as fan controllers.
Features:
- Pass/fail indicator through red/green light
- Automatic “Golden Device“ procedure
- Four test stations
- Loading station with a 2D mini-scanner
- ICT-Component test prior to assembly
- Functionality test: (electrical) current balance, voltage, frequency and current measurement
- Temperature is simulated and tested
- Illustration and operation of the test stations are done via a touch screen monitor
- Display and visualization through C# interface
- Mechanical handling through PLC
- Light barrier acts as a security device (rotary indexing table stops automatically)
- A compressed air supply prevents the devices from overheating during the test sequence
- A Mutex Server provides the level of communication between multiple instances of TestManager CE
- If a device is proven to be defective, a ‘fail‘ label is printed and attached
Examples for application of InCircuit Test Systems:
- Motor control device
- Switch assemblies
- Interface modules
- etc.
