The Compact, High-Precision Vibration Controller

The VibControl shaker control software is fully supported by m+p international’s VibPilot hardware for professsional vibration testing. The 4/8-channel VibPilot is an all-in-one device designed for both vibration testing and dynamic signal analysis using m+p international’s
SO Analyzer software. It is based on the latest generation of IC technology resulting in high-precision measurement ability and impressive real-time performance. Compact and rugged, VibPilot has a robust look and feel and has a clearly arranged front panel with four or eight BNC connectors. To extend input channel capability (e.g. 2 x 8 input channels) it is possible to synchronize two or more VibPilot devices by means of the clock in/clock out circuitry without influencing their performance.

The VibPilot instrument covers the full functionality of the VibControl software and all test modes that are used in vibration testing today, everything from simple ESS random and sine testing to mixed mode gunfire simulation. Drop table capture, time history recording to throughput disk as well as unlimited time data replication and road load simulation mean that m+p international can tackle the widest range of requirements.

The eight digital inputs and outputs enable automatic operation under climatic chamber control for combined environment test programs. Individual tests can be easily combined in any complexity of nested loops. When the system is left unattended, e.g. for an overnight or weekend run, you can still be in control: Test status reports are sent via email or SMS text message to your mobile phone.

Two 300 MHz floating-point dynamic signal processors in each unit pre-process the data, thus guaranteeing the high performance and short control cycles.

For the most critical tests time sample data can also be recorded in parallel with control to the throughput disk without any reduction in control performance.
