Data Acquisition and Control Accessories

The Opacity meter's simple design and portability make it easy to obtain accurate measurements. It provides an accurate means (± 1%) of detecting and measuring the opacity of smoke emitted by a diesel engine. The use of an Opacity (Smoke) meter promotes combustion efficiency for fuel economy and ensures compliance with diesel emission standards set by environmental air quality standards. The complete system consists of a control unit, sensor head assembly, extension pole, various connecting cables, calibration filter, instruction manual and a carrying case.

Taylor flowmeters provide all the advantages of vortex shredding technology in an anodized aluminum construction design that is perfect for rugged applications with minimal space requirements. These inline flowmeters offers the best value for your low pressure flow applications.

As a convenience to our customers we offer standard Correction Factor calculation packages for our DynPro Data Acquisition and Control System. These packages include correction factors for parameters such as Fuel Density, Barometric Pressure, Inlet Air temperature and Fuel Temperature that are to the standard identified. DynPro also provides a very user friendly utility for the creation of custom calculated channels that makes the creation of new or custom corrections very easy. This capability can eliminate the need for most post processing requirements.

The DynPro Pressure and Temperature Package may be mounted on the wall, boom, or a pedestal. It interfaces to DynPro and all of the optional accessories that we have available for use with the DynPro Data Acquisition and Control System. The DynPro Pressure and Temperature Package is used as the primary hardware enclosure and point of connection to the engine and test cell. There are five (5) standard pressure and temperature options to choose from with custom configuration available upon request.

DynPro communicates with electronic engines using either the J1708 or J1939 bus protocols. This feature is included for chassis dynamometers and is optional for engine dynamometers.

Standard channel configurations can be created, saved, and retrieved with the Bus Communication System Setup. Alternatively, the operator can query the engine and will be able to view and select the channels to log, display, or print.

Taylor Dynamometer is proud to offer a cost-effective emissions analyzer for use with Taylor’s DynPro data acquisition and control system. The system offers superior functionality and an elegantly simple design for a seamless integration with the DynPro system.

The Taylor Dynamometer Fuel Measurement Units are gravimetric type systems and require the DynPro Data Acquisition and Control system for operation.

For Chassis dynamometer applications, DynPro includes a Hand-Held Pendant for easy and complete dynamometer control from the cab of the vehicle. The Hand-Held Pendant provides the dynamometer operator with a color display touch screen graphical user interface. For engine dynamometer applications, the Hand-Held Pendant allows for convenient and easy test set-up from within the test cell.

The Taylor Dynamometer Heavy-Duty Workstation is designed to house a computer and related diagnostic equipment in the harsh conditions found in a garage or heavy duty dyno room.

• Easy Installation
• Allows for rapid installation and removal of test instruments
• Double articulated for a wider swing path
• Keeps pressure and temperature signal cables off the floor
• Provides for a cleaner and safer work environment by keeping walkways clear
• Gives test cell a professional look
• A vertical solution to your connection problems when testing multiple engine types and sizes

The Taylor Dynamometer Mass Air Flow Meter is designed to work with the DynPro Data Acquisition and Control System. This meter measures the amount of intake air consumed by an engine. Using the Pitot principle to measure the total and static pressure components of airflow, the pressure sensing ports sense the impact pressure of the approaching air stream allowing the transmitter to determine the volumetric flow of air.

The DynPro Share Module is a wiring interface / enclosure designed to allow one DynPro Data Acquisition & Control System to be used with two separate dynamometers. The signals to and from the two dynamometers are wired to the DynPro Share Module and depending on the switch position, will send the signals to and from the dynamometer in use to the DynPro Data Acquisition & Control System during a test.

We live in an ever-changing world and Taylor is staying ahead of the changes. Rest assured that your DynPro software has the latest features and capabilities with a Software Maintenance Agreement.  The Software Maintenance Agreement includes:

• The newest DynPro versions as they are released.
• Shipment of upgrades automatically to the customer.
• When appropriate, a new User's Manual or a User's Supplement designed to keep documentation current.
• Unlimited free technical phone support on DynPro's functions, features and capabilities.

The Taylor Dynamometer Test Cell Command Center (TC3) is designed to provide a single point of connection and control for all of your basic test cell support functions. Operators are able to command devices through the TC3 and never leave the comfort and safety of the control room. The TC3 is capable of controlling eight on/off devices and allows for the simple analog open-loop control of two devices.

Taylor Dynamometer offers a variety of Throttle Controls to choose from for both electronic and mechanically actuated requirements.  Standard product offerings include Taylor's Engine Throttle Interface for use with electronic engines and two types of throttle controls for mechanically actuated requirements.  The Pneumatic Throttle Control system is for the user with modest testing requirements and is generally not used when repeatable partial throttle position testing is desired.  For the more precise and repeatable throttle position requirements, we offer our Linear Servo Throttle Control system.

The Weather Station provides relative humidity and barometric pressure measurements to the Taylor Dynamometer DynPro data acquisition and control system. It includes the inputs necessary for correcting data to standard atmospheric conditions. By utilizing the powerful calculating capabilities of the DynPro data acquisition and control system and the Weather Station option you will be able to apply atmospheric correction to data automatically.
