Integration test benches

Opus automazione eroga un servizio integrato e completo per l’automazione industriale e di processo. Dalla progettazione elettrica e strumentale alla stesura e prototipazione di software, fino al collaudo e messa in servizio di sistemi di supervisione e controllo. L’esperienza multi - settoriale maturata ed il know-how acquisito permettono ad opus di operare in tutti i campi industriali, sfruttando sempre soluzioni innovative, nuove o di upgrade su sistemi esistenti.

Solutions for the validation of complex systems

Integration test benches are designed to verify the correct functioning and interaction between multiple subsystems of a complex device.
These benches simulate real operating conditions, enabling synergistic verification between hardware and software modules and ensuring that each component communicates and responds consistently.
They are essential tools in the final validation phases, where it is crucial to guarantee that the entire system performs as expected, minimizing the risk of assembly errors, incompatibilities, or field malfunctions.

Technical Features of Our Integration Test Benches

Our test benches allow for full integration testing between hardware and software, offering flexible, scalable configurations tailored to any project requirement.

  1. Simulation of complex operating conditions, with the ability to emulate signals, commands, and responses from real or virtual subsystems.

  2. Multi-module functional validation, enabling the testing of interactions between actuators, sensors, control units, fieldbus systems, and user interfaces.

  3. Modularity and customization, with scalable configurations based on the architecture under test (single device or distributed system).

  4. Compatibility with embedded, real-time, and Windows environments, ensuring maximum flexibility in development and testing.

Applications and Reference Standards

These benches are used in sectors where correct integration between multiple components is critical for safety, functionality, and overall efficiency:

  • Automotive – Validation of ECUs, ADAS systems, communication gateways, sensors

  • Aerospace – Simulation and testing of avionics and flight control systems

  • Energy & Environment – Integration of energy management systems and monitoring devices

  • Industrial Automation – Testing of automated production lines with interconnected PLCs, HMIs, and I/O modules

The quality standards to be met refer to several regulations that govern the operation and validation of the test bench itself:

  • ISO 26262 – Functional safety for automotive systems
  • DO‑178C / DO‑254 – Software and hardware certification for aerospace applications
  • IEC 61131 / IEC 61499 – Programmable logic standards for industrial automation
  • Custom client standards or internal OEM specifications – often required during supply or certification phases

Technical Features of Our Integration Test Benches

  • Advanced subassembly simulation, with the ability to inject signals, disturbances, or controlled faults

  • Complete hardware/software integration, supporting external physical devices, simulators, or virtual environments

  • Flexible control and data acquisition architecture, based on:

    • Real-Time systems (LabVIEW RT, RTX, Linux RT)

    • Windows-based systems for general-purpose environments

  • Real-time monitoring and high-resolution data acquisition for precise analysis and traceability

  • Integrated safety systems, enabling secure operations even during highly complex test procedures
