INDUSTRIES / INDUSTRIAL EQUIPMENT

Test the configuration you actually ship.

Keep variant-specific checks, controller settings, and factory test results together. Follow each machine or control assembly from its first bench check to the configuration your team reviews for shipment.

Testing challenges

01

Test the right configuration.

Keep PLC software, I/O mapping and cabinet revision with the run.

02

Connect the component records.

Link incoming module checks to the assembled equipment’s acceptance test.

03

Keep commissioning context.

Compare factory checks and later tests under the same equipment identity.

WORKFLOW EXAMPLE

Follow a control cabinet through factory testing.

An illustrative workflow for a configurable industrial controller, with recorded configuration, I/O checks, and a team review of exceptions.

Connect each cabinet configuration to the I/O checks performed on the acceptance fixture.
  1. Identify the configuration

    Record the cabinet serial, controller revision, firmware identifier, and installed I/O modules.

  2. Exercise the interfaces

    Capture input and output checks, communications results, and the measurements from the test fixture.

  3. Review the final run

    Keep the functional result and supporting files with the cabinet’s earlier module tests.

ALERT & NEXT STEP · EXAMPLE

A custom rule detected consecutive I/O-test failures on one station.

Send the affected runs to the test team. Compare fixture connections and controller variants, then choose a reference check or a targeted product retest.
