Redex DG-Block Closed Loop Digital Controller Boasts a Wide Range of Torque Simulation Functions
Redex USA has announced the availability of its Merobel DG-Block — a ready-to-use closed loop digital controller with a comprehensive range of specialized functions. DG-Block is designed to enable a wide array of load and torque simulations for electric motor development. It is particularly well-suited for test benches thanks to its compact size and USB type B connector in front of the controller. For multi-stand applications, the DG-Block can distribute the main data (set point, measurement, etc.) and the process instruction from one master device to several following devices via a rear-mounted bust, eliminating extra wiring.
To make programming easy, DG-Block comes with an intuitive software environment called DG-BlockSoft.
Features include:
Built-in precision amplifier for one or two sensors.
Compatibility with any load cell technology.
P.I.D. regulation algorithm.
Open- and closed-loop functionality.
Emergency stop torque is proportional to the set point.
Soft-start function with programmable ramp.
Multiple languages.
MODBUS TCP/IP communication capable.
