SPARC Engine Superior and Intelligent Controller Platform

Description

The new SPARC Engine is the state-of-the-art test stand controller for automotive, marine and aerospace engine testing. The latest generation offers you advanced hardware and software for the highest performance, and touch functionality for intuitive operation. It is suitable for test stands with a synchronous machine (DYNASPM), asynchronous machine (DYNAS3), hydraulic dynamometer (DT) and eddy current dynamometer (WT) as well as tandem applications.
This controller covers the complete range of automotive testing requirements in control, monitoring and data acquisition. It is optimized for the control of torque, speed, throttle position or a free selectable parameter x.
