Probeberry Testbench

Designed to enable any type of device under test to communicate with a PC and different types of hardware. The Probeberry Testbench serves as a realistic digital environment for the hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing.

Operating principle

The Probeberry Testbench is designed to serve as a realistic digital environment for the hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing, which makes you forget about routine test bench challenges. A complex software system under test is connected to the set of 8 modules, which support different interfaces. The modules are controlled by Raspberry PI, which in turn is controlled by a testing or modeling software running on a PC or the Prylada Cloud.

The Probeberry Testbench can be controlled by any external testing or modeling system, which uses the Probeberry control protocol built over TCP/IP. Such a system can read the Probeberry Testbench capabilities/configuration, and then use this information to tune the Testbench hardware and communicate with the system under test.

Features

MODULAR ARCHITECTURE

The platform modular architecture allows you to easily scale the Probeberry to fit your project needs.

IN-HOUSE DEVELOPMENT

All the Probeberry modules are developed internally by the Prylada team.

STANDARD HARDWARE

Popular off-the-shelf microcontrollers are used to provide you with extra flexibility and connectivity options.

CLOUD AUTOMATION

Cloud automation enables communication with one or multiple Probeberry instances, to gather data, control processes, display historical or actual data, and send reports.

SOFTWARE VARIETY

Due to open nature of the platform, Probeberry can be controlled by the Probeberry software, native Arduino or Raspberry software, or any custom control software.

Available connectivity

Analog/digital input/output

8 on-the-fly reconfigurable channels that can be programmed to perform as: AIO 4-20 mA, 0-10V; digital input (including dry contact, with adjustable 500mV-16V threshold); RTD measurement

Interfaces

RS232; RS485 with MODBUS support; I2C with SMBUS support; SDI12

Sub-1GHz RF

Wi-SUN protocol support

Analog multiplexer

4 analog multiplexers 1:4

Probeberry advantages over a traditional test bench

Traditional test bench

High budget

High time-to-market

While targeted at mid-plus enterprises, off-the-shelf equipment is not mass-produced

Complicated to extend

Difficult to purchase necessary testing system parts and extend, since such systems are not authorized to be changed by third parties
