Dynamic testing system control valve adapter

An assembly comprising:

• an adapter comprising:
• a control input configured to receive a valve control signal;
• a control output coupled to the control input;
• a power input configured to receive electrical power from a power source;
• a first power output coupled to the power input;
• and
• at least one of:
• a fuse connected in line between the power input and the first power output;
• a position input and a position output;
• and
• an enable/disable input and an enable/disable output;
• and
• a control valve including:
• a valve control input connected to the control output;
• and
• a valve power input connected to the first power output.

A test station of a dynamic testing system comprising:

• a hydraulic actuator configured to drive an actuation of a test subject using a hydraulic fluid flow;
• a test station controller configured to transmit a control signal through a control cable based on a test program;
• a power source configured to supply electrical power;
• an adapter comprising:
• a control input coupled to the control cable and configured to receive the control signal from the test station controller;
• a control output coupled to the control input;
• a power input configured to receive electrical power from the power source;
• a first power output coupled to the power input;
• and
• at least one of:
• a fuse connected in line between the power input and the first power output;
• a position input and a position output;
• and
• an enable/disable input and an enable/disable output;
• and
• a control valve including:
• a valve housing;
• a valve body contained within the housing and having a position that controls a flow rate and direction of the hydraulic fluid flow;
• a valve control input coupled to the control output;
• a valve power input coupled to the first power output;
• and
• a valve controller configured to control the position of the valve body based on the control signal received at the valve control input.
