The new internal TJCP operator interface is a special feature. Its high-resolution 5“ touch screen with smart touch technology enables many tests to be carried out quickly and easily without having to connect to an external PC. The clear, restructured user interface guides the user intuitively to complete the task at hand.
User actions carried out with the ergonomic jog wheel, such as amplitude, phase angle, or frequency adjustments, are processed in real-time and executed without delay. An illuminated ring integrated into the jog wheel and additional acoustic signals indicates system status during settings and tests.
The new TJCP operator interface also provides a wide range of communication interfaces, such as USB, 3 x Ethernet, Wi-Fi, and an internal GPS receiver unit.
Key features of the new hardware architecture
More than 20 years of experience in developing and manufacturing automatic relay test systems have gone into creating the fourth generation of ARTES test instruments. Despite increasing the power and the number of channels, it was possible to retain the positive features of its predecessor, including the compact and robust design, low weight and low noise level. However, the new hardware does not only provide higher power, it also offers a number of special features which provide added value and make ARTES 600 even more versatile.
Multi-function inputs for measurement of analog and binary signals
12 multi-function inputs are assigned to 6 galvanically separated groups. These inputs can be used for analog quantities as well as for binary signals. The response threshold and the response range can be freely configured for evaluation purposes.
Test currents of up to 96 A with parallel operation
The current amplifiers provide a maximum test current of 6 x 32 A. Parallel operation of the current outputs allows the output of up to 3 x 64 A for 3-phase applications and up to 96 A for 1-phase applications.
Generator socket for connection of the device to be tested
Three voltages and three currents can alternatively be picked up via the generator socket. The device to be tested can be connected to the test instrument simply, correctly, and quickly using a generator connection cable.
High-accuracy low-level signal outputs
Special low-level outputs with very high accuracy make it possible to test protection devices with low-level signal inputs. The behavior of various different sensors, such as Rogowski coils, is reproduced precisely.
Separate DC output
The separate DC supply can be used to power the device to be tested, for example. The range is between 12...260 VDC.
The output of control commands via 4 binary outputs
During output, 4 binary signals can be output in real-time parallel to the analog quantities.
LEDs for status indication
The user can tell at a glance which outputs are active and can easily identify the states of the binary inputs and outputs.
Operation in a vertical position
All connections and interfaces are located on the front panel. This means that ARTES 600 can be operated in an upright position if there is not enough space or if no table is available.
