Design and Application of New Testing Slots in the Tracking Control System

Abstract

A test soil-bin is an effective device to test the whole or components of the agricultural machinery. A new computer control and test system featuring PLC control and PXI bus has been designed to control the whole soil bin system including motion control and correlative date processing. This paper introduces the software design as well as the hardware design of the electric control system and test system. The result of the present work implied that soil-bin testing platform can provide reliable data for agricultural machinery research, which has a significant effect on the agricultural machinery technology innovation and saving the cost of research and development.
