Siemens Digital Industries Software announced Simcenter SCADAS RS hardware, a data-acquisition system for fast and accurate testing under severe conditions. With Simcenter SCADAS RS, test engineers and managers can optimize their test-data acquisition and measurement performance in harsh environments, such as those found in heavy equipment and transportation industries. It is the latest addition to Simcenter simulation and test solutions software within Siemens’ Xcelerator portfolio of integrated software and services.
Simcenter SCADAS RS is modular in design and offers maximum flexibility in how it may be mounted on any vehicle or machine, per its maker. It can withstand test campaigns in extreme temperatures, moisture, mud and dust, and high shock and vibration levels, which enables precise data measurement and streamlined analysis and in-depth processing using the Simcenter Testlab software suite. From here, test engineers can use this validated data for further load data processing and use it in combination with simulation models to help actualize the digital twin.
Test managers can optimize ROI and boost test productivity by integrating Simcenter SCADAS RS with existing processes and procedures, adds Siemens. Simcenter SCADAS RS can be integrated in company wired and wireless networks, or even over public networks. It is a true edge device, claims Siemens, that can be integrated in automation processes for cloud computing and advanced engineering analysis.
