Abstract
A test device for testing relays is provided. The test device includes a chassis and a plurality of generator components removably coupled to the chassis. Each of the plurality of generator components have a signal generator, a CPU to promote test signal generation by the signal generator, and an amplifier to amplify signals generated by the signal generator. The test device also includes a controller coupled to communicate with the plurality of generator components.
Claims13
A test device for testing relays, comprising:
- a chassis;
- a plurality of generator components removably coupled to the chassis, each of the plurality of generator components comprising:
- a signal generator, and
- one or more amplifiers to amplify signals generated by the signal generator;
- and
- a controller programmable with a relay test procedure coupled to communicate with the plurality of generator components.
A system for testing a relay, comprising:
- a signal generator operable to generate at least one test signal;
- an amplifier operable to receive the test signal from the signal generator and amplify the test signal, and the amplifier further operable to output the test signal to the relay to test the relay;
- and
- a controller module programmable with a relay test procedure, the controller module in communication with the signal generator to promote the signal generator generating test signals based on the relay test procedure, the controller module further operable to monitor a state of the relay and to determine a results of the relay test.
