Q&A

Products Software

DOLI Installation Center is the tried and tested configuration software to set/optimize the controller to the machine and prepare it for the test. This includes the security settings, control parameters, digital IO functions, sensor calibrations and much more.

DOLI Test&MotionPlus is the application software that enables tests and test procedures, external data processing/evaluation and test monitoring. This software contains the test sequences according to the desired norms and standards, but can also be used for free programming of a test sequence.

DOLI DoPE  is the communication library. The DoPE programming interface is a DLL program for communication between application programs and the digital controllers of the EDC family. DoPE allows you to quickly and easily adapt your software to the EDC and to offer your own testing software to your customers. DoPE contains communication drivers for LAN and USB as well as the header files for all functions and demo programs.

Test&MotionPlus is the improved version of Test&Motion and includes new and improved functions and features for test engineering. Test&MotionPlus is available for the different EDC series.
The previous version Test&Motion is tailored to the EDC generations up to EDCv (2018) and is no longer maintained.

With the iSYNC synchronization option, you can synchronize several EDCi and thus set up multi-axis test systems.
So you need two or more EDCi. They are connected with a suitable cable. Synchronization is done via the software and is described in the manual.
We are happy to support you with our remote support. To do this, we connect to your hardware and can make adjustments remotely. Of course, we will explain each step to you.

Abbreviations

The designation DOLI is derived from “Data On LIne”. Back in 1977 when DOLI was founded, we started thinking about how to make data available digitally in real time.

EDCi stands for External Digital Controller (DOLI Controller).
You can find an overview of our EDCi here.

SGS is the old name for the DOLI sensor plugs. They are now called iSP (intelligentSensorPlug).
iSP can be found here.

An iSP is an intelligent sensor plug that carries the data of the associated sensor. Thus, the controller can identify the sensor and, for example, also adopt the calibration data of the respective sensor. This allows the user to switch different sensors to a single interface without having to completely reset the controller.

iSP can be found here.

Application

DOLI has designed several more controller variants and extensions in the EDCi series to tailor the respective functions for each test application and meet all user requirements.

The following factors are crucial:

What type of test is performed. This results in the load frequency at the test specimen. So whether static (tension, compression, torsion), quasi-static (cycles up to 5Hz) or dynamic (up to 500 Hz) is tested.

Static: EDCi 10, EDCi15, EDCi2x variants, EDCi5x variants, EDCi7x variants,

Quasi-static: EDCi2x variants, EDCi5x variants, EDCi7x variants

Dynamic: EDCi5x variants, EDCi7x variants

Dynamically complex : EDCi7x variants

Next, the number and type of sensors and actuators used are considered. Je komplexer die Applikation, desto mehr Erweiterungen sind notwendig und The more complex the application, the more extensions are required and can be excellently implemented with the EDCi7x variants.

Finally, the desired design: control cabinet or tabletop device?

You can find the overview table here.

There are no special requirements for the PC. A standard PC of the lower price range (approx. 400€) is sufficient. The PC is connected to the EDCi via LAN cable. If you want to connect your PC to your LAN as well, you will need two LAN sockets accordingly.

In addition to standard products, DOLI also develops customized solutions. Contact us! sales@doli.de

You can find a tutorial for this here.

The DOLI Software Installation Center makes calibration super easy.
Compare your system with a comparison system, e.g. a calibrated load cell. To do this, drive to reference values. The system interpolates the intermediate steps. Done!

So far, we have been able to map all the tests that our customers have requested.

To this end, the standard Test&MotionPlus Basic software already covers a wide range of tests.

In addition, there is a wide range of expansion modules. E.g. to perform special tests according to DIN.

In addition, the DOLI software is so flexibly configurable that special requirements can be easily implemented. This can be done either by DOLI or by you! We supply the programming interface DoPE with which you can program your own software.

You can find an excerpt from possible tests here.

DOLI modernizes all testing machines regardless of the technology, whether still completely analog (drag lever display) or already equipped with electronics and regardless of the manufacturer.

Modernization is not limited to electronic components. All hardware components such as engine, transmission, hydraulic components, amplifier, etc. can also be modernized by DOLI.

We rely exclusively on brand manufacturers.

The essence of the EDCi is the PID controller. Do you have a control task that you want to solve? Talk to us about what you want to use the EDCi for! sales@doli.de

Yes, basically we repair all our equipment. Nevertheless, we have to make restrictions in various constellations, especially for older EDC generations. This is based on condition and component availability for repair. We always try to make everything possible for you. Contact us. service@doli.de

DOLI has a philosophy to help every customer and also makes things possible that are not possible elsewhere. We regularly repair electronics, some of which have worked reliably in the field for well over 10 years. But everything depends on parts availability, of course. We always try to make everything possible for you. Please contact us directly. support@doli.de

DOLI develops and produces in Germany in accordance with the company’s strategy. Our supply partners are also almost exclusively regional or national companies from German-speaking countries.

DOLI, the independent partner of the testing industry, which always tries to combine all requirements of testing technology in its products and services. We always listen to your ideas and requirements and are happy to incorporate them into future product generations or modifications. The aim is always to implement the best solutions for all our partners.

The aim of a service contract is to create security.

Security with you, because you can be sure to always have a hardware and software up to date. This can e.g. be ensured by maintenance plans that automatically ensure that hardware and software are always optimally maintained.

In addition, you can be sure that your request will be handled quickly and preferentially in case of service.

But we also have security, because the service contracts enable us to plan our resources optimally so that service calls are completed quickly and smoothly.

DOLI works with certified partners worldwide who master the DOLI technology and make it available close to them. We train our partners according to a 4-step concept, with which we ensure that our partners also develop enough understanding of our system and are a real help to them locally. If you have any questions about the partnership, please contact sales@doli.de.

EDCv is the predecessor generation of EDCi, which already aimed to cover the entire performance spectrum from simple, static tests to complex, dynamic tests. With the EDCi product line, we have implemented many improvements and even more functionalities in the successor generations, with which DOLI provides the widest range of digital controller solutions worldwide for all machine manufacturers. You can find more details here.

DOLI basically works with a 4-step training concept, which contains DOLI hardware, DOLI software and their joint application with a practical part, building on each other. You can detach modules from the concept at any time and, if necessary, also discuss specific training content with us. Please contact sales@doli.de.

Since every machine modernization is different, we need to understand exactly what condition the machine and its peripherals are in and what requirements you have for the future constellation. We will be happy to discuss details with you.

DOLI products can be combined with a wide range of other products. Hydraulic components, electric motors, and a variety of sensors, such as video extensometers, load cells, LVDT, etc.
You can either procure these components yourself or have everything procured by DOLI. This means you get everything from a single source and have us as a central point of contact when problems arise.
Talk to us about what your ideas are.
