Test platform OCTOPUS

Overview
OCTOPUS is a modular I/O test platform for automated testing of complex PLC installations. It enables the simulation and monitoring of digital and analog signals and is especially suitable for regression tests, Factory Acceptance Tests, and Site Acceptance Tests.

Advantages

• Modular system with different I/O modules
• Simulation of digital and analog inputs and outputs
• Trigger functions for synchronized test scenarios
• Access via OCTOPUS IDE, Python, LabVIEW, or MATLAB
• Hot swapping supported by inrush current limitation
• LED indicators for module status and I/O release
• Up to 16 modules can be connected in series

Application Areas

• Automated PLC testing
