CDCTS-5000

Overview

The CDTCS-5000 is the ideal system for automated vehicle emissions testing. It controls and coordinates the test-cell equipment to meet worldwide emissions testing regulations, and displays the driver's trace and guides the operator through test procedures.

The system manages the complete data collection, real-time displays, and test-result reporting. Further advantages are the flexible editors for user-defined displays, reports, test schedules, calculations, and system parameters. The CDTCS-5000 can be connected to an optional PC-based host computer for data management and analysis with standard PC software.

Features

Wide range of test schedules and analysis options 

  • Equipped with a full complement of predefined test schedules, including EPA, ECE, Japan, and others.
  • Provides exceptional support for creating and running custom test schedules.
  • Supports all types of analysis, including bag, dilute modal, tailpipe modal, catalyst efficiency, dual catalyst efficiency, EGR, diesel particulates, and auxiliary measurements.

Flexible "builders" for unique user requirements

  • Makes it easy to create unique test schedules, driver's trace and shift points, calculations, test reports, and real-time graphical displays.
  • System configuration software allows I/O channels to be added or changed as needed. 
  • Pre-test answers, fuel parameters, and other system parameters can be quickly and easily updated with easy-to-use editors.

Broad support for diverse testing equipment

CDTCS-5000 can be configured to control and/or collect data from

  • Emissions benches for bag, dilute, and direct (raw exhaust) analysis
