SLSC and CRIO Modules and Accessories

Bloomy Controls, Inc.

Bloomy Controls, Inc.

Our approach to delivering a high-quality Aerospace, Automated Test Equipment (ATE) asset begins with leveraging National Instruments hardware and software standard platforms. Beginning with high quality instrument platforms for standard Input and Output (I/O), we leverage NI’s PXI and Compact RIO platforms. Extending these system is NI’s unique platform for Switching, Loads and Signal Conditioning (SLSC), which allow the standard I/O to be customized for high performance aerospace industry applications.

Thermocouple Simulator Module for SLSC

Bloomy Controls, Inc.

Bloomy Controls, Inc.

Bloomy’s 8-Channel Thermocouple Simulator Module provides eight channels of galvanically-isolated thermocouple simulation and simulates types E, J, K, M, N, and T thermocouples. High-precision digital-to-analog converters which are isolated from each other and from system power provide sub-microvolt resolution and accuracy. Built-in switching provides open-circuit faults as well as switching to system calibration resources.

VDT/Resolver Simulation Module for SLSC

Bloomy Controls, Inc.

Bloomy Controls, Inc.

Bloomy's VDT/Resolver Simulation Module offers eight channels of variable differential transformer (VDT) sensor simulation at an unmatched price point. Its highly-flexible nature allows each channel to be configured independently for simulation of a linear variable differential transformer (LVDT), a rotary variable differential transformer (RVDT), or a resolver. Versatile, separate E1 and E2 returns allow each channel to be connected in a 4-, 5- or 6-wire configuration. The included VeriStand SLSC driver also allows each channel to simulate two 4-wire sensors where shared excitation is acceptable.

Battery Management Systems Testing

Bloomy Controls, Inc.

Bloomy Controls, Inc.

A Battery Management System (BMS) is an embedded unit performing critical battery functions, including cell monitoring and balancing, pack charge and discharge control, safety, and communications. The BMS must be tested early in development to optimize control algorithms, as well as during manufacturing to ensure reliable functionality. Bloomy’s family of BMS test systems provides a consistent platform for engineers to bring a BMS to market faster, and more reliably.
