Introduction
Mechatronics for modern motion control
Modern transportation, aerospace/defense and industrial control products all use electronics and software to manage motion control. These electronic-mechanical systems rely on electronic control units (ECUs) to control the surrounding mechanical environment by driving mainly inductive power loads, (solenoids, motors, lamps and relays) in very harsh electrical environments. ECUs generally use power MOSFET or IGBT output drivers to control the loads. To fully test these high-power drivers, you need to use special measurement techniques with instrumentation that is up to the challenge. Wide voltage ranges and fast rise times are just some of the challenges these drivers present. Because these power drivers typically are linked to product safety or performance, you must conduct significant design validation testing before you turn the product over to manufacturing. And in the manufacturing environment, the high volume of many of these applications makes high test speed paramount.
