We are able to provide design and installation services for any of the
above products as well as many other test facility requirements. HC Controls
has extensive experience in the system integration of National Instruments
PXI/SCXI data acquisition products.
Data Acquisition Systems
Our engineers are experienced in providing turn-key data acquisition installations
and solutions.
Our engineers will analyse a clients requirements, detail
both the hardware and software needed to fulfil the project goals. Our
turnkey solutions provide the client with detailed proposals, electrical
interface drawings, operating and maintenance manuals, training and follow-on
support.
Modern data acquisition systems can greatly improve the
efficiency of a test facility, cutting cell occupancy times, reducing
fuel usage and obtain more accurate test data than achievable with an
old analogue based system. Data collected can automatically be archived,
trended and analysed to give the test engineers reliable fault finding
and problem diagnostic information.
Operator screen displays and information presentation and
test reporting is customised to the individual client ensuring that the
users are provided with the optimum working environment.
An important benefit of a well designed data acquisition
system is the ability to continually monitor both the engine and the
facility parameter data signals to ensure that the information being monitored
is within programmed limits.
This has two benefits to the user:-
a) The engine and facility are protected from any dangerous running conditions,
which could endanger personnel or the facility itself.
b) The data acquisition system ensures that all of the data recorded is
within specified expected levels. This ensures that no erroneous data
is recorded which could otherwise lead to the requirement to re-test the
engine - a timely and costly exercise.
HC Controls is extremely experienced in the system integration
of the very popular and versatile National Instruments series of products.
Having designed, specified, installed, commissioned and maintained various
systems for our customer’s world wide.
Also we have extensive working knowledge of the Daytronic
range of data acquisition systems. Having installed, commissioned and
maintained numerous installations world wide, over many years.
Application Test Software
Our engineers are able to produce bespoke engine and component
test software, specifically tailored to the client’s requirements.
Test Facility Conversions
Many aero engine test facilities in operation today are in need of upgrading
to either take advantage of modern instrumentation and control systems
or to add new engine capability.
Our engineers have all the experience needed to successfully
convert old test facilities to more modern testing environments and to
integrate new engine types into the facility.
We have vast experience in liaising with engine manufacturers
to ensure that the conversion is carried out to their exacting requirements
and also provide technical assistance during the cross correlation (facility
approval) stage.
