The automation of test sequences and the data acquisition increases significantly the quality of the results and the utilisation of test equipment. In order to meet this challenge, FEV has developed the TestCellManager (TCM) as a product.

FEV TCM TestCellManager is the central operating, control and observation software for the individual test bench.Due to its modular design the TCM offers flexibility and ease of extension. Software modules with clearly defined functionality allow generating tailor made solutions to the respective requirements.

The use of Microsoft Windows as user interface and a real time system (RTX) allow a high quality measurement data chain. Modern familiar software strategies and designs ensure simple operation of the extensive functions. The TCM is responsible for the execution of automated, semi-automated or manually controlled test sequences.

Data acquisitionAll channels connected to the system can be recorded with respect to statistical characteristic values, such as average, minimum and maximum values or standard deviation, both continuously and at configurable time intervals.

Sequential control Set point value profiles for all connected channels for automated control Free programming of sequences via the embedded script language

Limit value monitoringSetting limits to avoid undesirable operating conditions and to react on limit violationsParallel history logs to document the process events before and after the overshoot of one or more limits

Online calculations of characteristics

Online calculation of characteristics make it possible to look at, react to or record calculated characteristics even during the test itself

Device control Numerous interfaces for the integration of special measuring instruments, as well as communication with a control unit application system
