According to the working principle and structural characteristics of solenoid valve, this paper analyzes performance response characteristics of solenoid valve, builds simulation model in AMESim, simulates and analyzes pressurization and pressure relief characteristics of the solenoid valve. Combined with theoretical simulation data and test requirements, formulates performance test methods, develops a set of solenoid valve test system with virtual instrument technology, which realizes the function of automatically testing the response characteristics of solenoid valve. Measured the pressurization and pressure relief characteristics of on-off valve and linear valve, the pressurization rate of on-off valve is 835 bar/ s and the pressure relief rate is 914 bar/ s. Through relevant tests, it is verified that changing the control current can adjust the opening of linear valve. The simulation and test results are in line with expectations, which verifies the feasibility and reliability of the solenoid valve performance test system.
