PFS 200N - Automotive Power Fail Simulator For Voltage Dips and Interruptions

The PFS 200N Automotive Power Fail simulator is used to comply with standard requirements, mainly from vehicle manufacturers, to perform fast voltage dips ad drops (micro-interruptions). Some standards specify very fast rise and fall times below 1 microsecond an electronic switch.

The PFS 200N is a standalone tester providing an electronic switch to perform voltage dips and drops (micro-interruptions) with fast rise and fall times of 1 microsecond. For voltage dips two DC voltage supplies are required while for for voltage drops (micro-interruptions) only one DC voltage supply is needed. The PFS 200N has the ability to control one external DC voltage source by means of an analog DC signal. The PFS 200N can also be easily integrated into a complete test set-up.

Operation is possible both manually and by software via USB or GPIB. Fail inputs allow to control an ongoing test sequence based on the status of the DUT. Pre-programmed Standard Test routines allow highest user convenience. Still the PFS 200N offers the Quick Start test routine where parameters can be changed on-line during a test to evaluate the susceptibility level of an individual DUT.

 Operation

Easy to operate

Front panel menu and function keys enable the user to program his test routines quickly and accurately. The cursor allows fast control of all test parameters of the programmed routine, thus test procedures are simplified and confidence is generated that every step is carried out correctly.

 Software

iso.control - Software for control and documentation

Outstanding user convenience, clearly structured windows and operation features and the EM TEST standards library along with the flexibility to generate user specific test sequences very easily are the main features of iso.control software. The software is automatically configured according to the connected EM TEST generators. iso.control software covers international/national standards and most of the manufacturer standards and is continuously updated. Extensive reporting capabilities help the user to create test reports that meet international requirements.

iso.control is supported by Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 8. Remote control is achieved either via USB or GPIB. iso.control supports a wide range of GPIB cards of National Instruments.

 Auxiliary Devices

RDS 200N - External controlled DC Power Supply

In order to generate any voltages between the level of the battery supply and zero for voltage drops (micro-interruption) tests a controlled DC supply is needed. The RDS 200N perfectly fits these requirements and is controlled by the analog DC output signal of the PFS 200N.

The RDS 200N is usually connected to the PF2 input of the PFS 200N.
