Astro Tech Page 3: Current Project Details

Our current product, Banshee/Mercury Mark I, is a "monitor and alert"-paging system for industrial test equipment (electro-dynamic shakers, environmental test chambers, and other industrial devices).  This product removes the need for on-duty 2nd and 3rd shift technicians and watch-standers at industrial test sites.

 

Project Banshee-Mercury is a cell-phone to cell-phone remote status alert system for both after-hours and during working hours; rapid notification for On-Call: test technicians or engineers or lab management of a test system crash/abort/fault.  The base-receiver unit may resemble, in part, the UD preamp tester (for MA1150) in basic panel indicator layout.

 

Extending beyond the Mark I version, future models

1.  Unit may have an optional Auto Reset-Restart function

2.  Unit may have optional Rx/Tx with a base box to remotely attempt a reset-restart, by authorized tech staff.

3.  Unit may have optional Numeric data query-report.

  (i.e. Chamber Temp C, Chamber Humidity RH, Ambient Temp C, Test runtime HHH:MM:SS, Coll Current L&R AVG & Peak Amps).

4.  Unit may have optional Supplemental Numeric data query-report (Custom).

  (i.e. Cooling Tower Status.  Shop-Air Compressor Status, DUT Status, Power Supply Status, User Configurable)

5.  Unit may have remote-base command/control ability for "shutdown test" for Env Chamber &/or Vibration system.

6.  Unit

7.  TBD

 

Technical Drawings and Schematics will not be posted online.  All "Confidential and Propriety" Documents shall be kept secured.
