AutoTest Software

Overview

Simplex Auto Test Software delivers full automation of generator load testing when applied with a load bank system equipped with AutoTest hardware. Simplex AutoTest provides user-definable automated load-test routines, pass-fail analysis, data collection and report generation. Auto Test is equally applicable to field testing, performance-proving, commissioning and acceptance of generator sets.

We are experts at building products that meet our customer's exact requirements. Contact Simplex if your job specifications require additional options or considerations.

Features

Use with Simplex resistive and resistive/reactive load banks, as new equipment or as a field upgrade.
Equally applicable to field testing, performance-proving, commissioning and acceptance of generator sets.
Communicates with the load bank over a dedicated ethernet system.
May be user configured for automated test per specific generator rating, model, serial number or bar-code scan.
Test routines defined as KW versus time, KW at power factor versus time, percent load versus time, etc. Each routine can be saved to memory.
Pass-fail performance criteria can be pre-set and saved as either global set points or as specific generator settings.
Typical pass-fail criteria are voltage error and frequency error under transient and steady-state loads.
Full manual load control is also possible with loads entered as direct entries, as percents, as analog mimic panel switches, or other user configurable interface.
High accuracy digital and analog capture and display of voltage, amperes, frequency, KW, KVAR, power factor.
Engine data can be collected as well from appropriate network devices and may be integrated for pass-fail analysis, displayed on the main operating screen as well as reported in the test documentation.
May be networked to central management systems and data collection systems for display of values and collection of data.
AutoTest equipped load banks can be networked to parallel individual cells to form a larger virtual test cell.
