Speed Sensor - Tachometer Test Bench — Railway-Type Verification Station

Model: Speed Sensor & Tachometer Test Bench

Test and screening platform that proves the accuracy of Hall Effect speed sensors and tachometers used in rail (including ERTMS) applications against a high-accuracy encoder reference — combining an STM32 ARM measurement layer with a Raspberry Pi touch interface. Comparing the device under test against the reference clearly separates faulty units from healthy ones.

  • Objective comparative verification against a high-accuracy encoder reference
  • Full-range testing in low and high speed regions at controlled motor speeds
  • Direction/signal integrity verification via phase-difference measurement between tachometer encoder channels
  • Interrupt-based pulse/PWM speed calculation — high accuracy over a wide speed range
  • Numeric and graphical real-time display on the Raspberry Pi touch interface
  • Pass/fail evaluation separating faulty from healthy units

Product Overview

Speed sensors and tachometers are critical components whose speed and motion measurements must be trusted, from rail systems to industrial drives — and their measurement accuracy must be proven regularly. The Speed Sensor - Tachometer Test Bench was developed by Planck R&D to standardize this verification process, meeting the high precision required by railway/ERTMS applications with a traceable test flow.

The system rests on a two-layer architecture connected over serial communication: an STM32 ARM measurement layer performing precise speed measurement, and a Raspberry Pi touch interface layer where the operator manages the test. Values of the device under test are compared against an encoder reference of known accuracy, the phase difference between encoder channels is analyzed, and pass/fail evaluation secures the quality control and screening process.
