Take a look at our video:
Automated Fault Insertion and its Role in Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) Simulation

All of our fault insertion matrices feature a breakout arrangement that allows faults to be attached to the sensor lines via the Y axis. This includes the breaking of a connection or the adding of a series defect – all of which can simulate connectivity problems in the system. The three pin breakout versions allow the connection to be swapped for a “bad” sensor simulation.The use of a programmable matrix for fault insertion ensures testing is fast to perform and can be reproduced on subsequent test cycles in the event of corrective action or a system upgrade.

We also offer mating cables and connectors for these modules to ensure speedy and successful system integration.

Filter

Switch Type

EMR - Electro-Mechanical Relay, cost-effective, medium power switching. Reed - reed relays, excellent low-level switching, fast, long life. Solid-State - very fast, indefinite life, high power switching, but high leakage and insertion loss.

Max I (A)

Maximum continuous current each switch can carry.

Max V DC

The maximum voltage that may be applied to each switch.

Poles

The number of common terminals simultaneously switched by a single operation. … more

Banks

The number of independent switch topologies on a single module.

Y Size

The number of matrix rows, used with X Size to specify the size of a cross-point matrix.

Fault Buses

The number of external fault conditions that may be applied to each channel.
