Use LCNC as dynomometer control ? was created by smc.collins
has anyone ever done this ? i'd be interested in the pros/cons versus Codesys or NI labview etc.

I haven't done it, but it ought to work.
I designed dynamometers for a time, and have operated them too.
If the PDP-11s that ran the ones at Ford until 2018 could do it, then LinuxCNC can too.
I would imagine running three (?) parallel PID controllers and switching between them.
The process variables are throttle position (called alpha, for some reason), dyno/engine speed, dyno current (or pressure, or whatever) and dyno torque.
One setup would be a PID controlling engine speed using dyno current. Then you could map alpha to measured torque, or set to 100% alpha and ramp the speed setpoint whilst logging the torque.

was thinking about it. Looking at Codesys, but for the cost , I can write a halcomponent and use a custom gladevcp interface. I used to own a nice dynomemter, looking to build with Eddycurrent load cells.
