SPARC - Superior and intelligent controller platform

As well as offering accurate speed and torque control, a variety of control and simulation packages are available for SPARC including: Engine Torque Pulse Simulation ( ETPS) ; Road Load Simulation ( RLS) and Service Load Simulation ( SLR) . SPARC integrates smoothly with HORIBA´ s Automation System STARS. Configuration, parameterisation and monitoring of the controller´ s algorithms are all available from the STARS user interface. Couple this with a tight, 1KHz synchronisation and exchange of data between the systems and you can see why we think that STARS and SPARC is a winning combination. SPARC can also be easily integrated into third-party automation systems via a web based user interface ( GUI) ; it can be also used as cost effective stand-alone powertrain controller if only manual operation of test stand is required. Key Features Designed for a global market Easy integration with STARS or third-party automation systems Option to run stand-alone Can operate in harsh electrical environments On-board 5 KHz analogue, digital and pulse inputs and output to ensure accuracy High accuracy data aquisision Six can bus ports built-in Expandable interface through any PC 104 board SPARC´ s Benefits Fast, accurate and highly repeatable control with algorithms specially designed for engine, driveline and vehicle test 5 KHz control and expandable processing capacity means that SPARC has the power to address even the most difficult control problems Robust design gives many mounting options for in-cell location - allowing you to place the controller where ever you want Extensible design allows many SPARC units to be combined to control from one to more than five prime movers, including internal combustion engines and all varieties of dynamometers.
