SP6 Installation 

3.1

 

Introduction 

The  SP6  System  consists  of  a  Data  Acquisition  unit  (DAQ)  with  up  to  four  complete  Roller  control 
channels.  
There  are  two  hardware  versions:  AWD/HUB-2  (up  to  2  brakes  and  cells)  and  HUB-4  version  (up  to  4 
brakes and cells). Each Roller Control Channel consists of: 
 

 

Roller speed measurement (hall effect sensor), 

 

Load Cell channel (brake torque measurement), 

 

Brake Control output channel 

 
SP6 can be used to automate most functions on a dyno room (engine test bed) or to control a vehicle 
dynamometer (rolling road or hub dyno). 
It has several inputs and outputs to acquire data from the engine and to control the brake(s) and other 
parts of the installation. 
 

SP6 Kit includes: 
 

 

SP6 DAQ unit 

 

Hall effect sensor(s) to read speed from one roller or from brake 

 

Capacitive and Inductive clamps, for reading Engine RPM 

 

Load cell(s) for acquiring brake torque (several models available) 

 

Brake Power Supply: Input 230 Vac, Output: 200 Vdc, 21 Amp control based on current (40A 

model available optionally). 

 

USB to Serial adapter. Note that serial COM still has more immunity against electric noise than 

USB (specially with 2 stroke engines / CDIs), for this reason we prefer to have the serial cable as 
long as possible, and USB part close to the computer.

Dynamometer Installation. 

Two basic types of dynamometers can be controlled with SP6: 
 

 

On 

vehicle dynamometers

 (roller or hub), SP6 performs basically data acquisition and speed 

control on the dynamometer roller(s). Normally SP6 is not used to control the vehicle 
operation, as the operator can actuate directly over the starter motor, throttle, clutch, etc. In 
some cases SP6 is often used to control certain dynamometer actuators: lifts, motors, etc. 

 

On 

engine test bed dynamometers

, SP6 in addition of Data Acquisition and speed control, can 

also perform control over several parameters of the engine as engine start, fans, throttle, etc. 
And the installation can be splitted in a dyno room and a control room to allow the user to 
operate the engine in a safer and more comfortably way. 

 
 

3.2.1

 

Vehicle dynamometers 

Both SP6 AWD and SP6-HUB-4 can be used on several types of vehicle dynamometers:  
 

 

Motorcycle dyno (single roller) 

 

2WD Car dyno,

 

1 axle, single roller

 

/ twin roller

. Twin roller: Single sensor or double sensor 

 

AWD Car Dyno:

 

2 axles

, single/twin roller. Twin roller:  Single or double sensor (total 4 sensors) 

 

HUB-2 dynamometer, 2 brakes

, one to each car hub (left / right) for 2WD cars 

 

HUB-4 dynamometer: 4 brakes

, one to each car hub for 2WD or AWD cars. This configuration is 

only available with 

SP6-HUB-4 version

 

 

Other dynos based on rollers, with a maximum of 4 speed sensors
