For test stand automation, RENK has developed RDDS—the RENK Dynamic Data System—for automatic control of highly dynamic processes in a test environment.  Operating in a Microsoft Windows environment, RDDS is a real-time, modular system with the flexibility to accommodate commonly used hardware and software interfaces.  Simultaneous recording and processing of measured values and monitoring of limit values ensure reliable test rig performance and safe test article operation.  The result is an automation system that can be customized to a broad range of testing requirements and that can be upgraded as those requirements evolve.

By integrating a commercial PC as the control computer, RDDS offers a reliable, efficient, and cost-effective solution for test rig automation.
