Motor Test Bench
// Advanced HIL & SIL Testing for Motors, Software, and Electronics
Motor Test Bench (MTB)
The Motor Test Bench is designed to facilitate comprehensive testing and measurement of embedded systems, that generate mechanical rotary movement, as well as their components, ensuring their seamless development. With both automated and manual capabilities, the MTB empowers engineers to assess various functions and parameters, including mechanical and electrical characteristics, during the development and validation phases.
The MTB also supports Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) and Software-in-the-Loop (SIL) testing paradigms, offering a versatile framework for evaluating embedded systems in real-world conditions or simulated environments.

Motor Test Bench as a testing tool
The Motor Test Bench (MTB) is a cutting-edge testing device that evaluates the performance of various types of motors, software simulations, and electronics through precise measurement of torque, speed, power output, and efficiency. By incorporating HIL and SIL, the MTB enables engineers to not only optimize the design of motors and embedded systems but also simulate real-world operating conditions in laboratory settings. This capability is particularly useful for troubleshooting, validating control algorithms, and assessing performance before deployment in larger systems.
Deviating from the normal testing of motor and electronics separately. It is permissible to use an integrated DUT consisting of motor and electronics. This is then located completely in the mechanical test chamber.
The MTB offers coverage for testing and measuring the functions and parameters of embedded systems, analyzing mechanical and electrical characteristics, or evaluate mechatronic components during development. It is a versatile tool that can be used to perform these tasks effectively.
Its modular design allows for different performance classes, providing precise and reliable results across diverse applications.
Software integration (ECU-TEST) into existing ecosystems and into application lifecycle management.

Motor Test Bench
A test chamber is attached to the machine into which DUT (motors, optionally with integrated electronics) are placed. Load Motors (LM) are installed to measure the speed and to drive and brake the DUTs. The test chamber includes Load Motor, Torque measuring shaft and DUT. In a separate area next to the test chamber, E-DUTs and connection options are located to test electronic components.
