User manual MOOG INTEGRATED TEST SUITE BROCHURE

[. . . ] Moog continually develops modules to provide customers with the best tools to run tests faster and more efficiently than ever before while saving development costs. Listening to our customers and studying their requirements led us to develop the Moog Integrated Test Suite that supports both simple and complex tests through the integration of an array of software modules. The Integrated Test Suite leverages the world-class performance of Moog Actuators, Servo Valves and Test Controllers. Unsurpassed innovation and technological expertise combined with close customer collaboration make Moog a leader in the design and development of high-performance electric and hydraulic motion platforms. Our total focus on meeting your unique test requirements means you can rest assured you're using the most flexible, highest performing automotive test software available anywhere. MOOG INTEGRATED TEST SUITE: YOUR KEY TO BETTER, FASTER DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT The Moog Integrated Test Suite is the result of close and ongoing cooperation with leading automotive OEMs and independent test laboratories, as well as research and development centers. [. . . ] The software can create single plots, multi-plots and offers matrix plots, drag and drop functionality to view data from one or more files in one plot window. The plotting can be done in time domain or in the frequency domain (magnitude and phase or PSD). Monitor Monitor critical data in real-time using graphs or meters. A number of sets enable you to combine data and create desired screens even faster. Edit Edit data from the plot, using cut, copy or paste as well as tools such as re-sampling, spike removal, tapering, filtering, removing offsets and custommade scripts using a universal scripting language. Analyze Analyze data using analysis tools like FFT, PSD, fatigue analysis and more. STICK TO REALITY USING HIGH SPEED TIME WAVEFORM REPLICATION System identification The Moog Replication module offers the necessary tools to analyze the system model (e. g. , transfer function, coherence, inverse model). The convergence towards the optimal drive file is achieved at incomparable high speed, dramatically reducing your test preparation time. It starts with performing a system identification that can be done with all channels at once (simultaneous), or channel by channel (sequential) for both square and non-square systems. Once you are satisfied with the system identification result, the calculated model can be stored. This can be used for simulation purposes or the iteration step. Sequence building Once the drive files have been iterated, they can be used in a sequence to develop specific tests. A table view can be used, but also a very intuitive graphical representation of the sequence is available to quickly put all steps in the desired order. A timeline view lets you see the sequence per channel in the time domain. You can preview your sequence before sending it to the controller. Iteration The advanced Moog iteration algorithms result in fewer iteration steps to reduce the fatigue of your test specimen and optimize your preparation time. Simply follow the process to enter your general parameters (e. g. , the mix gain, target file, control channels, controller bandwidth). Then the algorithms of the program will gradually adjust the drive file in such a way that the system response matches the desired target. During the automated iteration process, the operator can easily view several comparative calculations to judge the iteration quality. Once the required level of accuracy has been reached, the final drive file can be stored for use in subsequent testing. LET THE AUTO ITERATION WORK FOR YOU Batch iteration Replicate a set of target files (or time history reference files) with the same scheme without further intervention and with the necessary monitoring. The generated report gives the operator an overview of the iteration results for each of the replicated files. You can perform other tasks while the auto iteration runs for you. MooG ruNNer Once you have defined one or multiple drive-files, the Moog Runner module allows you to configure, execute and monitor your durability testing. It is widely used by automotive labs for its simple setup and fast test times. RUN YOUR TEST EFFICIENTLY WHILE PROTECTING THE TEST SPECIMEN Set Sequences Create all basic functionalities efficiently using drag-and-drop functions. Select data acquisition channels, add monitors, proceed to channel mappings from the drive file and the sequence building. Use advanced data acquisition options like storing partly data sets, trend monitoring, signal guarding. Setup statistical and fatigue calculation for monitoring and guarding. [. . . ] Step by step the software will increase the energy levels until the target PSD is reached. Once the desired PSD has been reached the test time will start running. The advanced parameter option allows you to fine tune or define additional parameters as needed. While running, the sidebar will help you monitor and record your data while running the test, so you keep full control of the running test at all times oNe MooG softWare, MaNy aPPlICatIoNs Test labs have to adapt quickly to changing requirements when running different tests.
