FailSafeTester

Features

The FailSafeTester is much more than just a simple breakout box. It enables the generation of the following electrical faults:

• Interruption (cable breakage)
• Loose contact
• Contact resistance (corrosion)
• Short circuit (with ground and with other cables)
• Shunt (leakage current)

The principal characteristics of the hardware are:

• Modular, customizable and expandable system: 8 to 160 channels in one chassis (controller card, backplane, 20 slots)
• Unlimited amount of channels by cascading several FailSafeTesters
• Handle 42V-signals
• 50A high current signals
• Can break every signal under software control
• Can connect every signal to any other signal - either directly or via programmable resistor
• The FailSafeTester can be controlled via CANbus or RS232-interface
• Programmable resistor range 1 Ohm - 2 MOhm
