Project Description
Automated PCB Test & Programming System
Electromechanica Inc. was contracted to design and build two identical PCB functional test systems for a major security system manufacturer. This test system is a complete turnkey testing and programming solution, performing complete functional test, programming and data logging.
Functions performed include:
- Voltage and current measurement
- Serial communication checks
- Microcontroller programming
- Serial number label printing
Connection to the DUT is achieved using spring-loaded contact probes in initial functional test, and thru an onboard connector for final test and programming.
DUT clamping and spring probe actuation is provided using a completely integrated pneumatic control system. The entire test sequence is automated and controlled via PC using National Instruments LabVIEW.
