Data acquisition and control unit for triaxial tests – AUTOTRIAX 2

Main Features

  • It manages pressure/volume controller, load frames, cell and back pressures, solenoid valves and transducers
  • Transmits data and information between the software and all the active components
  • Calibration data of connected transducers are saved in the firmware of the units
  • Four different versions are available to offer maximum flexibility
  • Can be stacked vertically reducing the footprint on the work bench
  • The modular design concept allows easy extension of the system

Description

These are the brains of the AUTOTRIAX 2 system, transmitting data and information between the software and all the active components such as the pressure controllers and Tritech triaxial load frame. The units are produced in four different versions (see below) to offer maximum flexibility.  They can be stacked vertically, making them very space-efficient, and power connectors of multiple units can be daisy-chained together, allowing them all to be run from a single mains socket.  Transducer calibrations are saved directly in the firmware of the units.
