A test cell can range from a transmission test stand up to a full-fledged four-wheel vehicle dynamometer. Test cells combine industrial machinery with precision control and laboratory-quality measurements to replicate real-world environments for automotive components, systems, and complete vehicles. Many systems use dynamometer and/or servo-hydraulic systems to subject components to various loads to simulate real-world and extreme conditions. With connectivity to both industrial and automotive systems, the NI platform is uniquely positioned to provide a greater level of integration for automotive test cell applications.

Test Cell Control and Measurement System Using NI PXI
Typical test cell systems contain a powerful PXI controller, chassis, and high-performance I/O for measurements. Select the appropriate chassis, controller, and modules for your application and let the PXI advisor recommend the necessary components and accessories to complete your system.
- Customize your system by choosing only the components you need
- Print an itemized list or visit the online store to purchase your system
- Achieve expandable I/O using PXI or expansion I/O over Ethernet

Distributed Test Cell Control and Measurement System Using NI CompactRIO
You can use rugged CompactRIO and C Series I/O modules to move I/O closer to test stands, which reduces cabling, noise, and cost. When you select the chassis, real-time controller, and C Series modules for your application, the advisor recommends the components you need to complete your system. You can combine CompactRIO systems with PXI systems to integrate I/O flexibility with high performance.
- Customize your system by choosing only the components you need
- Print an itemized list or visit the online store to purchase your system
- Further expand I/O using deterministic Ethernet expansion chassis
