SP5 Dyno Controller

NEW! SP5-AWD – AWD-enabled dynamometer controller (DAQ)

The SP-5 dyno controller provides a complete hardware and software solution for controlling engine test bed and roller dynoes.

The device uses Safety Oriented Closed Loop Brake Control and can work even without a computer connected – control is possible from the remote control.

Available operating modes:

• Inertial

• Steady Load

• Ramp (Ramp)

• Fixed Brake

Additional modes, such as Road Simulation, are available in the PC software.

SP5-AWD – four-wheel drive version

The new version of the SP5-AWD enables electronic synchronization of the front and rear axles, making it ideal for AWD (4×4) dyno.

The controller also allows the operation of a 2-HUB dyno, where each roller channel controls a separate brake (left and right).

Application

The SP5-AWD is the perfect tool for:

• engine performance tests,

• ECU calibration,

• endurance tests,

• exhaust emission tests,

• advanced R&D testing.

Functions and Features

• Built-in LCD display – makes installation and setup easy

• High-speed Ethernet connection

• Control and monitoring of the test engine and brake

• Remote control of dyno systems from PC, m.in.:

  • throttle actuator,

  • clutch cylinder,

  • gear shifting,

  • cooling fans / blowers

• Dual roller + load cell channels and brake outputs
  – support for AWD dyno
  – synchronization of rolls

The AWD option requires additional components, such as:

• additional brake power supply,

• second force sensor (load cell),

• additional Hall sensor,
