Universal Fuel Injector Driver

The XCITE is a fully programmable electronic driver designed to test modern gasoline GDI and diesel fuel injectors under real-world operating conditions. It addresses the critical challenge of simulating actual road conditions during fuel injector testing — delivering the brief, intense bursts of electrical current that modern injectors demand while preventing solenoid overheating.

Modern fuel injection systems require multiple firing sequences per combustion phase, and the XCITE handles this with precision. Its compact form factor is comparable to OEM controllers, making it easy to integrate into existing test bench setups without consuming valuable lab space.

Fully configurable via companion software, the XCITE requires no programming knowledge to operate — making it accessible to test engineers and lab technicians alike.

Core Features

Companion Software

Fully configurable through intuitive companion software — no programming knowledge required. Adjust waveforms, timing, and firing parameters with ease.

Multi-Shot Waveforms

Stores up to four multi-shot waveforms for instant recall via digital inputs, enabling rapid switching between test profiles during production.

Synchronous & Asynchronous

Supports synchronous operation with rotating mass for engine simulation or asynchronous firing for bench-level injector characterization.

Self-Protection

Built-in open and shorted injector connection detection safeguards both the driver and the injector under test from damage.

Ethernet IP Compatible

Native Ethernet IP support enables seamless PLC integration with open communication protocol for direct machine-level control.

Compact Design

Form factor comparable to OEM controllers allows easy integration into existing test benches and lab setups without consuming valuable space.

Built for Demanding Test Environments

The XCITE is engineered for the rigors of continuous production and endurance testing. It can fire continuously for up to 45 seconds to satisfy SAE testing standards, delivering the sustained high-current pulses that modern GDI and diesel injectors require.

Its open communication protocol enables seamless integration into automated test systems, allowing test engineers to incorporate the XCITE into multi-station setups and control it directly from existing machine architectures.

Whether you are running a single audit bench or retrofitting an entire production line, the XCITE adapts to your infrastructure — not the other way around.
