Tire Data Acquisition (TDAQ) |
|
|
SMALL SIZE makes it possible to mount TDAQ
anywhere on the TUO. Positioning TDAQ close to
sensors means less cabling and electrical interference,
which equates to higher resolution and more accurate
repeatability.
SINGLE PC CONNECTION sends digital data to
the TTOC machine controller via a single 100-Mbit
channel. This simplifies TTOC’s hardware footprint,
which translates to even more cost savings.
MODULAR DESIGN provides measurement
capability adequate for any standard TUO. For TUOs
with grinders, easily add a second TDAQ to the
system with no loss of performance.
HIGH SPEED enables data sampling at 16,000 times per second, making it the perfect drop-in replacement for high-speed testing as well as standard TUOs.
Simply the latest breakthrough
in tire data acquisition!
Modernizing your TUO has never been easier.

Consider the layout of a traditional test machine fully equipped with force measurement and grinding capability (see figure 1). One glaring issue here is that wires must be run from each transducer and sensor down to the main control panel, where a PLC can process and act on data. This design is poor in that it overuses wire ways, leaving designers with no choice but to place dirty, high voltage drive lines near sensitive analog data lines--sometimes for as long as 10 to 15 meters.
Our search of industry standard devices did not yield any acceptable solutions that matched up with this unique machine configuration and specialized complexity. So we decided to look smaller--to see what modern digital components were available and if those components could be integrated into the next big thing. Success came a couple of years later with the release of our “Tire Data |

Acquisition” (TDAQ) system, which has now become an integral part of the TTOC6 control system family.
In a machine controlled by TTOC6 (see figure 2), one TDAQ becomes the central hub for loadcells and pressure transducers, while another TDAQ directly controls the grinding movements based on sensor feedback. Instead of the many wires leading back to the control panel, each TDAQ only requires two: one 24VDC power cable and one Ethernet cable for transmitting test data. Not only does this simplify wiring, but performing data acquisition physically closer to the source provides stronger and cleaner signals, bringing about a substantial increase in resolution. |
