Production logging and final configuration

Connect sensor testing and documentation to your production process. Simulyzer products and Simulyzer-RT read internal sensor data, check measurement plausibility and support final configuration.

  • Check serial numbers and sensor readings
  • PLC integration using digital I/O or a network
  • Program PSI5 parameters using script files
Production logging and final configuration

Challenge and solution

Production logging and final configuration in practice

01

Read internal data

Check serial numbers and other internal sensor data. The plausibility of acquired readings can also be checked and documented.

02

Cover manufacturing stages

Applications range from sensor chip production and integration into housings and wiring harnesses to complete vehicle components such as bumpers.

03

Perform final configuration

As an extension, non-volatile sensor parameters can be programmed. For PSI5 sensors, script files specify the addresses and values to be programmed.

Production integration

From PLC request to test result

  1. Start the test

    The PLC provides the start signal. Digital I/O or a network interface such as Modbus TCP connects the controller and the test system.

  2. Test and configure

    The application reads the specified sensor data, evaluates the measurements and, with the appropriate extension, programs the parameters.

  3. Return the result

    The PLC receives an OK-Finished or FAIL-Finished response. Test values and sensor data can be retained for production logging.

Example PLC test sequence
Published example sequence. The specific sequence depends on the sensor and manufacturing task.

Software and integration

Integrate into your application

01

Application software

API library and various Windows and Linux applications for production integration.

02

API and programming languages

ANSI C/C++, .NET (for example C#) and LabVIEW. Adaptations for MATLAB and Python are possible.

Supported sensor interfaces depend on the measurement setup and selected hardware.

  • SPI
  • PSI5
  • SENT
  • DSI

Products and development

Building blocks for your solution

The specific selection depends on interfaces, channel count and test requirements.
