Compatible with all Shakers
With VibrationVIEW, you can set up and safely control vibration shaker tests and generate custom reports. Vibration Research hardware works with any electrodynamic, servo-hydraulic, or servo-electric shaker and includes single-axis, dual-axis, dual-phase, rotational, three-axis, multi-loop/four-post, and seismic control options.
Hardware Warranty
The VR10500 ships with a 3-year hardware warranty that can be extended to a lifetime warranty with a valid support agreement.
High-Channel-Count Systems
High-channel-count test setups are easier to manage in VibrationVIEW.
- 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
Control & Acquisition
Engineers can use the VR10500 for vibration control or dynamic signal analysis. It is compatible with both the VibrationVIEW and ObserVIEW software packages and the VR Mobile application.
VR10500s can run independently on separate shakers or combined into a single stack for jobs requiring a higher channel count (up to 512 channels). The VR10500 can be configured with the VR9700 or ObserVR1000 for control or live analysis.
This cost-effective solution creates substantial savings for our customers.
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 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
Vibration 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
Multi-axis Vibration Testing
The Sine, Random, Shock, and Field Data Replication (FDR) test modes can simultaneously run 2, 3, or 4 output drive loops.
The VR10500 supports 2 to 4 outputs. The primary VR10500 controller must drive all outputs, but the system can have stacked controllers for more than 16 inputs (up to 512).
