The Chroma 8000 Power Conversion Device Automated Test System is designed for automated testing of various power conversion devices and power supplies. A wide selection of hardware options is available for integration, including programmable AC/DC power supplies, electronic loads, digital multimeters, oscilloscopes, timing/noise analyzers, and short circuit and overvoltage protection testers. Combined with Chroma's PowerPro 5 open software architecture, the 8000 ATS provides users with a versatile, powerful, and cost-effective automated testing system capable of meeting the testing needs of any form of power supply.
This ATS employs highly optimized test command technology to prevent the system software from sending repeated control commands to the hardware, significantly improving speed of test. This allows the 8000 ATS to achieve the efficiency of closed systems while also offering the flexibility inherent to open software architectures.
The 8000 Power Conversion Device ATS comes with a built-in library of prewritten test items, covering the vast majority of industrial standard power supply tests. It also provides users with all the tools necessary to expand test item functionality—should new requirements arise, test items can be easily edited via the test item editor.
The 8000 ATS includes powerful report editing and management capabilities, offering a comprehensive toolset for generating test documentation and performing system management. This functionality is particularly valuable for developers, QA departments, testing certification units, and mass production lines, where efficient creation of test reports and statistics can be a significant time-saver.
Working under Windows 7/10/11 the model 8000 provides test engineers with a dedicated power supply test system in an easy-to-learn Windows environment and allow access to resources provided by Windows.
Comprehensive Test Item Coverage
The Chroma 8000 Power Conversion Device ATS comes equipped with standard test items, satisfying the requirements of the majority of industrial standard power supplies. Unlike traditional software for automated testing equipment, users do not need a background in programming languages. They only need to define test conditions and specifications based on the existing test items within the 8000 system.
The test item library covers seven categories of power supply testing requirements: Output Performance - General performance of the DUT (Device Under Test) ; Input Characteristics - Testing the input parameters of the power supply ; Regulation Tests - Testing the stability of the DUT under changes in input power and load ; Timing and Transient - Measuring the transient states during power on/off and the timing of various events ; Protection Tests - Triggering the protection circuits of the power supply ; Special Tests and Functions - Special tests and functions for power supplies.

ATS Software Platform
/Chroma_Page_8000_SMPS_13.png)
The Chroma 8000 Automated Test System is suitable for modern high-volume production lines and can be paired with Chroma's Sajet Manufacturing Execution System (MES) to control and manage test stations, personnel, product serial numbers, and test programs. It also facilitates uploading test data to central servers, enabling centralized management of test programs, data collection, and report analysis. This helps customers achieve their smart manufacturing objectives, reducing production costs while enhancing product quality and efficiency further down the line. Additionally, Chroma can provide customized Shop Floor Control system services to connect to MES systems already in place. For more details, please contact your local Chroma representative.
