External devices seamlessly integrate into the automation system through digital or analog interfaces, bolstered by associated safety protocols.
The distinctiveness of Orbit H₂ solutions is marked by:
• An intrinsic “house-in-house” design
• Autonomy from the technical infrastructure of the building
• The possibility of interfacing with external simulation systems (optional)
The uniqueness of Orbit- H₂ solutions
• Independent of the building’s technical facilities
• Interface with external simulation system(Optional)
Hardware-in-the-Loop Interface
The software provides a swift and potent hardware-in-the-loop interface.
Essential state variables from the test bench and the Device Under Test (DUT) are presented as outputs through a Simulink function block, ensuring real-time updates. Accessible setpoints and control switches of the test bench are provided as inputs.
The complete H₂ Midi/ H₂ Maxi test system is unified as a singular Simulink block, seamlessly integrated into the simulation loop.
Integration with External Systems and Safety Systems
Conforming to EUCAR Hazard-Level 5, HL 6, and ATEX-2 safety standards, the testing process ensures utmost safety. The test space is uniformly conditioned through robust air circulation. Moreover, there’s the potential for automatic configuration of comprehensive temperature and humidity profiles.
The measuring and control system seamlessly interfaces with a PC or LAN, facilitating efficient data management. The system’s design is tailored to withstand even the most extreme conditions.
Key features encompass:
• Seamlessly integrating with climatic chambers
