BiSS Multi Actuator Control System is capable of controlling upto 8 actuators. It is a fully integrated mobile unit with an air-cooled hydraulic powerpack. It provides ease of access to all system components and has simple and unambiguous external connectivity. This extremely quiet operating system facilitates mil sockets with pin out markings to connect force and stroke transducers. Easy actuator connections possible with the quick release sockets available. The servo controlled pump incorporates thermostatic cooling, variable rpm control of pump speed, actuator manifold with dump cutoff and servo valves, system pressure and temperature indicators, individual port pressure indicators and safety limit interlocks are other unique features of the system. The whole system is castor mounted and can be easily relocated. No external utilities are required for cooling.

The system is powered by a 2360 controller with 8 channels of load cell and LVDT signal conditioning and upto up to 60 channels of data acquisition with electronics that support strain gages, LVDTs and high level inputs. The integrated control and data acquisition system along with host PC with large size TFT panel display are housed in an air-conditioned enclosure that is part of the system chassis.
