Technical characteristics

• Autonomous equipment for the study of actuators in a car .
• The actuators included in the equipment are:

- Ignition coil with incorporated spark.
- Electromagnetic injector
- DC Motor: Open loop speed control and closed loop control position potenciometre on the shaft.
- Cooling fan: Analogue or series resistance speed control.
- Electrovalve: All/Nothing Control (ON/OFF) and linear control by means of Pulse Width Modulation (PWM).
- Electromagnet: ON/OFF Control.
- Windscreen washer motor pump: Motor pump control in both directions.
- Step Motor: Two working speeds.
- Actuators related with lighting: Position-brake light, emergency warning lights, lights on warning.
- Acoustic actuator, piezoelectric buzzer: Actuation of the same with two different tones.

• The control technologies implemented are:

- Digital control.
- Analogue Control.
- Control by CAN bus.
- Control by pulse width modulation PWM.

• Testing points protected against possible incorrect manipulations, for carrying out measurements at the different points of the circuit.
• Possibility of controlling various actuators from the control unit ECU-ADA304.
• Measurements: 446 x270 x100 mm.
