Abstract

A CD-ROM testing system includes a personal computer, a programmable logic control (PLC), a testing apparatus with sensors and an industrial man-machine interface. The personal computer is in communication with the PLC for performing tests on the CD-ROM. The PLC is connected to both the personal computer and the man-machine interface to control the operation of the testing apparatus. The testing apparatus is to carry out tests on the CD-ROM and collects the test results. The man-machine interface is to indirectly control the testing apparatus and display test signal. The CD-ROM testing system is capable to replace human labor in continuously testing a plurality of CD-ROMs to provide an efficient and precise test results of the functions of the CD-ROMs and the test results are stored in the personal computer for further use and analysis.
