Standard Test Area Enclosure Operation
There are four operating modes for an MTS Landmark Test System:
• Hydraulic Power Off
• Specimen Installation and Setup
• Run Mode
• Service
Hydraulic Power Off
Hydraulic Power is prevented from energizing the circuit via the hydraulic service manifold. Full access to the
test area is allowed in this mode.
Specimen Installation and Setup
The controller provides a means for creating a specimen installation mode. This mode typically uses the
Channel Limited Channel (CLC) control method. The primary control channel is Displacement (stroke) with
maximum limits set on applied force. Tuning parameters unique to this mode optimize manual control during
this mode. In addition, a maximum velocity command is set.
The handset has the ability to have a configuration specific desired response to the thumbwheel encoder on
the handset for a precise level of control.
