ROS: REMOTE OPERATION SYSTEM
All of AeroVironment's products use the powerful Remote Operation System (ROS) for computer control of the hardware. Easy to use graphical user interfaces make designing tests quick and easy. Use ROS to create custom tests, to execute standard tests or to run recorded duty profiles.
Webasto Charging Systems, Inc. ABC-170/170CE power processing system is used to meet fuel cell testing and sinking power needs. Originally developed for fuel cell testing applications and for systems that require additional sinking power, Webasto Charging Systems, Inc. customers have also used this versatile machine to cycle hybrids and batteries. The ABC-170 offers power from +125kW to - 170kW, with a voltage range of 8 to 445 VDC and a current range of +530ADC to - 640ADC.
The CE mark is a mandatory European marking for certain product groups to indicate conformity with the essential health and safety requirements set out in European Directives. In an effort to better serve our European customers, Webasto Charging Systems, Inc. has gone through the CE certification process and has received the CE mark on selected versions of our test equipment.
