Client Background
Modern vehicle provides Anti-lock braking systems (ABS) helps drivers retain steering control by preventing wheels from locking up. Pressure control valve is one of the main components used in braking system. The pressure control valve consists of inlet port, outlet port, exhaust port and two solenoid valves. The pressure is applied at the inlet port and the two solenoid valves are operated simultaneously to control the pressure at the outlet port.

Let us create an IoT strategy, implementation and evolve your IoT solution.
Challenges
Client requires an automated test system to verify the Pressure Control valve. In real scenario, the ECU operates the solenoid valves when brake is applied. The solenoid valves control the pressure at the outlet and ensures smooth braking without wheels locking up.
The objective of the test system is to perform
- Crank Pressure Test
- Residual Pressure Test
- Response Test
- Leakage Test
Solution
Design of data acquisition system to test and verify Pressure control valve. The data acquisition system acquires pressure sensor data at the inlet & outlet port and controls the solenoid valves. The test system is designed to operate PCV valves at either 12V or 24V through the Programmable power supply. The solenoid valve is operated by data acquisition system instead of ECU with user defined ABS test cycle.
The PCV valve unit to be tested is mounted in fixture. The application software facilitates test operator to perform any kind of the test. GUI of Host Application software are designed to provide user with the features that will improve the control and ease of operation of the test facility.
The software should allow the user to run the application in configure limits, set-points and acquisition parameters, control the system by monitoring the process parameters and alarms
Check the runtime status and operating parameters of the various signals and subsystems continuously, monitor the character/behaviour of the various analog channels on a graph, Conduct the experiments in an easy and safe automated manner, and do post experiment analysis.
