Harnessing the power of the Web brings new possibilities to relay test equipment and data

摘要

Applied Relay Testing Ltd is a specialist Company that has created a range of advanced test products dedicated to relays and switch devices which cover the test areas of low-level parametric measurement, contact life-testing and high-voltage performance. This paper will review how wide-area and local-area networks can be used in conjunction with suitably designed relay test products and tools. These test resources, previously used 'stand-alone', can now be interlinked and combined into powerful, focused or distributed test solutions. With the power of TCP/IP, systems can be created that mix and match life-test system resources, high-voltage and parametric test systems and distribute relay test programs and reports. Specific examples will be shown of a relay life-test system based on TCP/IP and of company and worldwide integration of relay test programs and reports - a solution which is already benefiting companies operating multiple, scattered global locations.
