Instrument Control Unit Tester

Designed for validation of Instrument Control Units (ICUs) in space, the EGSE ICU Tester represents a comprehensive, configurable platform suitable for various test scenarios.
The system, integrated in 38U racks, features an 800W power supply with six independent lines and configurable secondary level protection.
The heater matrix allows dynamic selection between fixed loads and programmable electronic load for realistic thermal testing.
The system fully supports functional validation through the integration of data bus and time synchronization cards.

Main features:

• 800W power supply with 6 independent and configurable SLP lines
• Heater matrix with switching between fixed loads (with LED and BNC) and electronic load
• MIL-STD-1553 card for dual bus
• PPS card for time synchronization
• Thermistor drawer for simulation of up to 300 lines TSM1/TSM2
• Discrete drawer for SpaceWire, ASM and BDM interface management

Fully managed via KeyTest software with EDEN module
