OMICRON electronics

Research and Development

R&D environments pose additional challenges for a test system. OMICRON has developed state-of-the-art technology for a robust test system that is reliable, repeatable, and highly accurate. Extensive functional prototype testing, type testing, automated sequences of tests, statistics evaluation etc. can be easily managed. All this is supported by OMICRON’s Test Universe software, ranging from predefined test sequences in an OCC container file to scripted test automation and low-level test function calls (CMEngine) from within Test Universe, or from external development and test environments.

Creating all variations of steady state signals as well as performing dynamic testing with easy-to-use network models and powerful transient simulation tools is possible. Hybrid application of classical 1 A/5 A, 100 V – 120 V secondary signals and binaries combined with any configuration of IEC 61850 GOOSE and Sampled Values is the state-of-the-art requirement that research engineers in today's power industry are confronted with. Combining all this and building a library of reusable test sequences with automatic test evaluation tools that can be combined in a flexible manner for most efficient testing provides the key to efficient high quality R&D and type testing programs. All this allows for tailored testing solutions as well as overnight batch processing of extensive and in-depth test routines.
