Abstract: Engine research and development, often focused on fuel efficiency, are driving the need for more precise and highly repeatable test systems that are also easily adaptable to a variety of scenarios required for engine and drivetrain testing. At this session, learn about the Southwest Research Institute's successful implementation of a flexible test system, including the MoSAIC software, for automating a wide range of dynamometer test cells, including facilities meeting the EPA Part 1065 requirements for emissions testing. Also explore the system’s capabilities and architecture, which was built on LabVIEW Real-Time software and PXI, CompactRIO, and EtherCAT hardware, and discover how it manages all aspects of the test cell.
Speaker: Nathan Forster, Southwest Research Institute, Program Manager
