Probeberry Testbench

Probeberry Testbench for hardware testing automation

Simple solution for hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing in small-scale production.

Operating principle

The testbench is designed to execute automated test scenarios on any type of hardware. It is a set of 8 modules, which support different communication interfaces. The testbench modules are controlled by a test automation software running on a PC. The software allows creating, managing, and executing tests with further reporting the results.

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

ModBus

Standart Protocol to program inputs/outputs

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
