Different Configurations for Different Needs

High-Channel-Count Systems

High-channel-count test setups are easier to manage with the VR10500 hardware.

  • VR10500 vibration controllers stacked with labeled cables
  • Range selection in dialogs
  • Page through groups of channels with Ctrl + PgUp/PgDn
  • Option to always display large input configuration table
  • RGB/full-color ring LEDs indicate connection status of IEPE accelerometers
  • Save an input profile to a test profile

Output Capabilities

A single VR10500 controller can have up to 6 control outputs: 4 analog control outputs and 2 digital control outputs. Engineers can drive two shakers in phase, multiple shakers with independent output loops (without phase control), and three-axis systems without cross-coupling or correlation.

The outputs are generated from the same hardware, which provides more power and control.

Digital Drive Output

The VR10500’s digital drive output supplies two additional drive signals that can be used with the four analog drive signals or separately as two remote drive outputs.

The digital output removes the analog link between the shaker and the amplifier to minimize the effects of ambient noise picked up between the controller and amplifier. No other controller on the market has this capability.

The digital control output also improves connection safety and breaks the ground path between the controller and noisier amplifiers/shaker systems to eliminate one of the potential ground loops in vibration testing systems.

Targeting Future Amplifier Technology

TruDAC FrontVibration Research’s TruDAC Digital Output is a stand-alone unit that can be added to a VR10500 or VR9700 system.

A digital control outputs device serves several purposes:

  • Detects disconnected and broken cables between the amplifier and controller
  • Supports longer cable lengths between the amplifier and controller without control signal degradation
  • Breaks the ground path between the amplifier and the controller drive, eliminating a common source of noise
