GIVE YOUR DYNAMOMETER A NEW LIFE

At Dynostar we have the option of upgrading an old dynamometer. We can offer a fully up to date dynamometer by using our Dynostar upgrade kit. The Dyno station software and associated electronics are universally applicable in a roller chassis upgrade kit. 

All Dynostar roller chassis dynamometers are fitted with our in-house developed Dynostar DAS Data Acquisition System. There are different parameters which can be read via the DAS system, for example: turbo pressure, throttle valve position, various temperatures and air/fuel ratio. All these measured values are collected in the Dynostar Junction Box and passed to the DAS system via only a single cable.

With 3 different options we strive to create the best solution for upgrading your control system. 

Our upgrade kits:

DAS upgrade kit

This upgrade kit gives you the full range of possibilities, with maximum use of all sensors. This kit makes it possible to control an inverter for vehicle cooling, length adjustment and beam control. It’s even possible to preform pre-programmed drive cycles.

System requirements:

The minimum system requirements for Advanced Dyno Station are:

• Minimum I3 processor gen 4 preferred I7 
• 8 GB internal memory
• Minimum Windows 8 preferred Windows 10
• Minimum 500 MB available preferred SSD
• Video card intel HD Graphics 500 or higher Nvidia GeForce GTX210 or higher 
• RS232 serial port or USB/RS232 converter ES-U-1001

 

Advanced Dyno Station consists of 3 clear main screens:

Database: 
This feature allows it to create a database with the history of all measurements. Vehicles can easily be stored on the basis of marque, type, customer name and test name. Via the database screen, different runs can be selected and then compared, using the graphics menu.

Measuring screen:

The measuring screen is the control panel of the Advanced Dyno Station software. All measured values such as engine speed, power (HP), engine torque, vehicle speed and air/fuel ratio, can directly show what happens to the vehicle when searching for a problem area. As an option, various temperature sensors can be connected and can be read directly on screen. For example, the intake air temperature sensor, exhaust temperature sensor and oil temperature sensor.

Via the measurement screen, it is possible to simulate the road situation in the workshop, taking into account driving, air and rolling resistances. It will give the possibility to simulate a car driving up a slope or apply a continuous load. As well as various automatic test procedures, it is also possible to easily create a “problem area” where the fault occurs, or where investigating manually is needed. By using the remote control, the desired (engine) speed can be set and monitor everything directly on-screen.

Graphics:

The graphics menu is the diagnosis tool of the Advanced Dyno Station software package. 
All stored measurement values can be graphically analyzed here. The graphics menu shows the power and torque curves, and the graph of the air/fuel ratio measured. It also contains the useful option of adding the transmission pattern.

With the Advanced Dyno Station, various power measurements can be made.

Such as:

Static power measurement

Dynamic power measurement: roll on, negative test, all gear, variable transmission, 
fast acceleration and multiple speed. Using the measurement settings, extended adjustments can be made for the test program. 

Extra sensors/features  
Advanced Dyno Station has the facility of reading out various external sensors. Using a 
special menu, the settings for these sensors can be adjusted. You can also set the scale for the air/fuel ratio manually here. An extra feature in ADS is the speedometer test, using this test you can check the car speedometer.

Weather station 
The Dynostar DAS data acquisition system is fitted with a weather station which can be read using the ADS software. The weather station measures ambient temperature, air pressure, relative humidity and allows application of the DIN, EEC or SAE correction to the measurement values.

Drive SIM: your tool for emissions testing and long-term testing
As an option, the Drive SIM module is available. This unique program allows simulation of real road conditions. The dynamometer must be fitted with the optional electric motor for this function. Using the vehicle parameters, the software can precisely simulate road conditions. The Drive SIM module is an ideal tool for emissions and long-term testing.
