Data Acquisition & Synchro Conversion for Engine Test Facilities

AS9100D ITAR Nadcap

Overview

Engine and turbine test facilities require multi-channel synchro, resolver, and LVDT data acquisition across dozens or hundreds of measurement points. From thrust vector nozzle position to compressor vane angles and accessory gearbox feedback, test engineers need real-time position data streamed to central data recording and analysis systems.

CCC's MX Series multiplexed converters support up to 128 channels per control unit, providing the high-density data acquisition that modern test facilities demand. Combined with our Ethernet conversion capability, test data can be streamed directly to facility networks for real-time monitoring and post-test analysis.

The Challenge

Engine test environments generate extreme temperatures, vibration, and electromagnetic interference. Test instrumentation must handle high channel counts while maintaining accuracy across all measurement points. Legacy test stands often use obsolete data acquisition hardware that limits throughput and connectivity.

CCC's Solution

CCC's MX Series multiplexed converter sets handle 3 to 128 synchro or resolver channels per unit, providing the density required for comprehensive engine testing. Our LVDC Series adds LVDT/RVDT interfaces for linear displacement measurements. Ethernet connectivity via CommandNet enables integration with modern test facility data systems.
