Total Flexibility
The PCS8000 controller has been designed for
flexibility. Its modular and state-of-the-art de-
sign is perfectly suitable from static and dy-
namic materials testing up to complex, multi-
channel applications in the field of component
tests and simulation. Each PCS8000 controller
has on-board amplifier and can easily be fitted
with additional 12 plug-in AC, DC or digital
transducer conditioner modules to serve your
expanding needs. One digital transducer input
is always available on-board. Intelligent con-
ditioner modules and transducer connectors
provide an automatic module and transducer
recognition and reading. Additional configura-
ble digital inputs and outputs are available for
monitoring and controlling of external events.
The user does not have to pay for modules he
does not need. At any time the controller can
be extended up to a full-featured multi-chan-
nel control system by simply adding modules
and/or controllers. A wide range of hardware
and software options are available.
Powerful Data Acquisition
The controller can be equipped with modules
to accurately measure up to 13 sensor signals
for stroke, force, elongation, etc. All common
sensor types and input ranges are supported.
The intelligent sensor system automatically
detects the type of sensor, its serial number,
operating range as well as coefficients for lin-
earization and calibration. Each sensor signal
will be converted into a high-resolution high-
speed digital data stream, which is available
within the controller, the host PC’s testing
software and even within other PCS8000 con-
trollers in a multi-controller setup. That also
means that a controller’s sensor capability can
be extended by importing other controller’s
sensor signals over a 200 MBit/s real-time
data link. Such data streams are referred to
as external streams. Even more, the PCS8000
controller can also deliver data streams for
physical quantities that can not be measured.
The user is free to program mathematical ex-
pressions to transform and combine meas-
ured data and parameters into so-called vir-
tual data streams, which can be used just like
measured or external data streams. Mathe-
matical expressions requiring extensive com-
putation power can be implemented as so-
called math streams. They behave just like
virtual data streams but are updated at a low-
er rate in order to reduce processing load. The
internal synthesizers and the controllers pro-
duce additional data streams. They are ab-
solutely equivalent to internal, external and
virtual streams. All data streams within a
controller or within a multi-controller system
are strictly synchronized and processed in re-
al-time. The sample and data rate always re-
mains constant even if you add sensors and/
or data streams. Apart from the data streams
the controller also reads up to 12 isolated dig-
ital inputs and drives up to 8 isolated digital
outputs. These signals can be used to trigger
events and hence are available to the user as
well.
Events and Triggers
Each PCS8000 controller permanently super-
vises all his data streams including internal,
external and virtual streams as well as math
streams. For each data sample it adjusts pos-
itive and negative drag indicators as need-
ed and checks user-defined upper and lower
thresholds on all streams. On top of that the
controller constantly monitors lots of opera-
tion and safety conditions like control states,
user interactions, digital inputs and outputs,
range checkings, hardware health, overflow
and overrun events, emergency stops, etc.
Whenever the machine leaves its save oper-
ating domain the built-in system supervisor
interferes and stops that action in a control-
led or user-programmable way. All of these
supervising activities may trigger so-called
events. For example, data streams immediate-
ly issue an event when they reach a user-de-
fined upper or lower threshold. The same hap-
pens when a sensor reaches its stress limit or
when a digital output changes its state due
to some user program or user command. Such
events will be reported to the host PC’s testing
software to tell the user that a certain condi-
tion has been met. In a factory- or user-pro-
grammed testing sequence, events can also
be used to move to the next testing phase, for
conditional transitions, to synchronize multi-
ple control loops, etc. Accordingly, events and
triggers are a very powerful instrument for
programming test sequences and for over-all
safety. Therefore a large number of individual
events are available.
Outputs
The PCS8000 digital controller is ready to drive
all common types of hydraulic valves including
2-stage and 3-stage valves. Its current out-
put can deliver up to ±300 mA. An additional
voltage output with a standard ±10 V span is
also integrated and may be used to drive an
external motor amplifier or any other actuator.
A 24 V supply is provided to the user. It may be
useful to operate small external devices, like
door locks, specialized preamplifiers etc. The
supply output is protected with a self-recover-
ing electronic fuse.
The PCS8000 series provides a number of iso-
lated digital outputs to interact with external
equipment. For example a simple electric heat-
ing may be turned on and off and by measur-
ing the temperature over one of the data ac-
quisition streams a temperature control loop
can easily be implemented. Low noise analog
output modules are available as well. They can
be used exactly like sensor modules.
Each of the modules outputs up to four dif-
ferent data streams. Every one of the data
streams can be sent to an analog output in-
cluding virtual and external streams.
The analog output voltage span is ±10 V. The
user can tell the controller to zoom any sig-
nal window into the ±10 V range. For exam-
ple, when measuring a stroke range of 50 to
60 mm, the user can set 50 mm to -10 V and
60 mm to +10 V. This way the analog out-
put span covers the entire range of interest
perfectly.
State of the Art Control
The PCS8000 includes a whole bunch of differ-
ent control algorithms. The user can choose
and configure the one that suits him best.
Conventional PID control is available but also
self-optimizing strategies based on adaptive
control. The user can switch from one control
algorithm to another on the fly without hav-
ing to reboot or reconfigure the entire sys-
tem. This feature is also available within se-
quencer programs. Among the well-known
family of single PID controllers PID and PIDT
are implemented. They all include anti-win-
dup protection and configurable output limit-
ing. PIDT uses a differential response limiting
which is useful when feedback measurements
are noisy for some reason. A combined stroke-
force control method, called PIDM for mixed
control, is also provided. In this mode stroke
is being controlled but the force is kept with-
in user supplied limits. As the force increases
the system switches over softly from stroke to
force control. This is particularly useful when
setting up delicate samples. The PIDM strat-
egy is fully parameterized.
Therefore the user can adjust this very con-
venient control method exactly to his partic-
ular needs. Furthermore the PCS8000 system
is equipped with two PID based peak con-
trol algorithms. A peak controller is an adap-
tive strategy to ensure that peak values of a
periodic output function remain constant and
reach the desired value. This is extremely help-
ful in cases where a periodic output function
suffers from severe distortions, for example
due to disturbance from the mechanical set-
up or when the probe changes its state and
hence its behaviour during the test.
A conventional PID controller fails under such
circumstances. The self-adjusting peak con-
trollers can cope with such situations very
well. The latest generation of adaptive con-
trollers also included in the PCS8000 even go
further. In the background they constantly
measure the transfer behaviour of the entire
control loop. Based on the results they are
able to automatically improve the control per-
formance. There are two typical scenarios for
using these algorithms:
1. During an initial training phase the con-
troller quickly adjusts its internal states. At
the end of the training the states are freezed.
From then on the optimized controller is ready

for testing.
2. Testing starts with a neutral or conservative
initial setup of the adaptive states. During the
test the adaptive controller softly adjusts its
internal states to optimize the total perform-
ance. When the probe or some other compo-
nent within the control loop starts to change
its behavior the adaptive controller follows
and compensates for the drift.
Of course all sorts of mixed scenarios are at
hand. The PCS8000 trimming function allows
the user to hand-optimize almost every con-
trol parameters by turning the hand-wheel on
the remote control or by using buttons on the
host PC’s testing program while observing at
the same time how the machine changes its
behavior. This feature is also available for syn-
thesizer parameters.
Synthesizer
The PCS8000 series include a highly sophis-
ticated multi-generator synthesizer to feed
the controller with the desired signal. The
