Why Simcenter SCADAS RS?

Simcenter SCADAS RS is a modular data acquisition system engineered for peak performance in various testing conditions. With Simcenter SCADAS RS, you can confidently and efficiently capture high-quality multi-physics data (including NVH, durability and energy metrics) essential for comprehensive analysis. Its ultra-rugged design ensures reliability and continuous performance, even under extreme conditions you may face out in the field. With Simcenter SCADAS RS, you gain enhanced productivity through faster instrumentation and test preparation, efficient measurement processes and the ability to fully validate test data before leaving the field.

Superior measurement performance

Successful product performance evaluation requires a comprehensive view of what is happening when your prototype is subject to extreme loading. Therefore during the test, a wide range of sensors needs to be measured and synchronized, including strain gages, accelerometers, displacement sensors, force cells, thermocouples, pressure transducers, Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) location and more. Frequently, engineers also want to consider additional information, like data coming from a digital bus or video images. But space is limited to take several devices on board for all these diverse testing needs.

All-in one solution
With Simcenter SCADAS RS, you can have all these capabilities in one box. With powerful on-board universal signal conditioning for all these physical aspects, measurements are captured with the highest precision and lowest noise and drift over the entire operating temperature range. Thanks to a high signal-to-noise ratio and large dynamic range, Simcenter SCADAS RS can turn any signal into quality data.

SCADAS RS is a truly smart system where intelligent triggers ensure you capture the data you need and on-board processing assists in further analyzing and reducing data while measuring.
Testing engineer, Global manufacturer
We found Simcenter SCADAS RS to be an extremely accurate and reliable measuring solution. It is also much easier to connect with a wide range of sensors. We can even read vehicle bus data in a specific communication protocol, like CAN-FD, which some similar solutions on the market do not support.
Jongwoo Kim, Technology Part Manager, Hyundai Motor Company
The wireless connectivity for controlling the hardware embedded web application is very useful and the modular system architecture makes it easy to optimize the setup for both small and large test campaigns.
Jongwoo Kim, Technology Part Manager, Hyundai Motor Company
Thanks to all these features of Simcenter SCADAS RS, we estimate savings of one to two days over a two- to three-week testing program.
