[0047] As shown in Figure 2 , the fault injection resources of the fault injection system adopt independent fault injection devices, and the fault injection device types include low-speed bus, high-speed bus, optical fiber bus and non-bus signal type. It can realize fault injection on the physical layer, electrical layer and protocol layer of various buses or non-bus signals, and can independently control each fault to support fault sequence testing. Each fault injection device adopts a unified product architecture, which is convenient for modular control and processing.
[0048] The IO interface resource adopts the interface module plus chassis controller mode according to the PXI design idea. The IO interface module mainly includes the physical interface of the corresponding bus or non-bus. When the IO interface module is selected for integrated testing, the corresponding IO interface resource margin is reserved. At the same time, the IO interface resource adopts an extensibility design, supporting subsequent incremental expansion of test resources and test equipment to meet compatibility requirements.
[0049] The IO interface resource mainly includes the following simulation resource types: inboard bus simulation resource of the flight control system, analog single-ended simulation resource, analog differential simulation resource, current analog simulation resource, discrete quantity simulation resource, LVDT / RVDT simulation resource, A429 simulation resource, RTD simulation resource, Resolver simulation resource, A825 simulation resource and A664 simulation resource.
[0050] The IO interface resources mainly include the following types of acquisition resources: bus acquisition resources in a flight control system, single-ended analog acquisition resources, differential analog acquisition resources, current analog acquisition resources, discrete quantity acquisition resources, LVDT / RVDT acquisition resources, A429 acquisition resources, Resolver acquisition resources, A825 acquisition resources, A664 acquisition resources, and Ethernet acquisition devices.
[0051] The analog power supply and distribution system provided by the embodiment has high simulation accuracy, flexible power regulation capability, and a seamless switching interface with a real power system. Figure 3
[0052] The AC master control cabinet provides power input for the DC power supply and the AC power supply. The DC power supply can convert 380V three-phase AC power or 220V single-phase AC power into 28V DC power to realize 28V power supply. The DC voltage regulating power supply can realize 28V power supply voltage regulation (4 channels) with a regulation range of 17V-32V to meet the needs of flight control tests. The AC power supply can convert 380V three-phase AC power or 220V single-phase AC power into 115V AC power to realize the supply of simulated 115V, 380Hz-800Hz variable-frequency AC power. The AC voltage regulating power supply can convert 380V three-phase AC power or 220V single-phase AC power into three-phase AC power with a rated output voltage of 115V (voltage regulation range 0-266V) and a wide frequency range of 0-2650Hz to simulate the output of a PMG on a real aircraft. The rated output power is 2KVA.
[0053] The primary distribution box and the secondary distribution box allocate power resources, and can reasonably allocate power according to the needs of electrical equipment. The distribution box realizes control functions of the circuit through internal switches, contactors and other elements. This includes circuit connection, disconnection, conversion and protection operations. When abnormal conditions such as overcurrent, overload, short circuit, and leakage occur in the circuit, the distribution box can quickly cut off the power supply to protect the test bench, electrical equipment and personnel safety. The distribution box also provides display and monitoring of related parameters such as voltage, current, frequency, power-on / off timing, etc. of the current power supply channel, facilitating test personnel to check the power supply state.
[0054] The analog power supply and distribution system supports remote or manual shutdown control of each power supply channel. Remote shutdown mode: a remote control module PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) is introduced to receive remote instructions and control the circuit breakers in the distribution box. The remote control module is connected to the upper computer software using network communication technology (Ethernet) to realize remote monitoring and control. Manual shutdown control: a manual operation switch is provided on the distribution box to allow on-site personnel to directly operate the circuit breakers for shutdown control. The manual operation switch and the remote control module are interlocked to ensure that manual operation is not possible in remote control mode or remote control is not possible in manual operation mode.
[0055] For AC power channel which needs frequency conversion control, frequency converter is installed in the distribution box. Frequency converter has remote communication interface (RS485) for receiving frequency parameters set remotely. After receiving frequency parameters, frequency converter adjusts output voltage and frequency according to the parameters to realize speed control of AC motor.
[0056] The wiring and junction system architecture is shown in Figure 4 The wiring and junction system is designed to meet the dynamic configuration of test configurations according to different test requirements in aircraft system integration testing. It can meet the actual needs of test personnel during testing, and can flexibly switch the measured object through program control, realizing seamless conversion from real parts to simulation parts, greatly reducing the need for manual intervention to modify the configuration.
[0057] Traditionally, switching from real parts to simulation parts often requires complex physical operations and tedious documentation, while the program-controlled switching function of the wiring and junction system automates these steps, ensuring the accuracy and efficiency of the switch. In addition, the wiring and junction system also significantly shortens the test preparation time. Test personnel no longer need to spend a lot of time on manual switching and configuring the test environment, but can focus more on developing test strategies and analyzing test results. This not only improves test efficiency, but also makes the test process more coherent, helping to quickly identify and solve problems, thereby accelerating the integration and verification process of aircraft systems.
[0058] As shown in Figure 4 The wiring and junction system is designed for program-controlled switching between real parts and simulation parts during aircraft integration testing, and is divided into two parts with the junction system. The wiring system contains advanced wiring switching equipment, designed in a modular manner, taking into account compatibility factors to facilitate user flexibility in configuring and expanding according to test requirements. At the same time, the supporting wiring switching software provides an intuitive and easy-to-use interface, allowing users to easily achieve fast switching and monitoring of signals, greatly improving test efficiency and accuracy. The wiring system can support switching of ARINC664 bus signals, ARINC429 bus signals, discrete signals, and analog signals (including AD, LVDT, RVDT, Resolver, etc.) to simulation parts, ensuring seamless switching of experimental configurations during testing.
[0059] The junction system integrates separation panels, wire management boxes, and circuit test panels for block processing, signal extraction, orderly arrangement, and quick positioning and troubleshooting during testing, ensuring the integrity and reliability of the test environment and further improving the integration and testing capabilities of the system.
[0060] The functional module division is shown in Figure 5As shown, the main functions of the comprehensive wiring software are to realize the program-controlled switching operation of the wiring equipment, provide the HMI interface and operation services for user interaction, and be capable of configuration management and switching of the test configuration, while providing the management function of the cables in the test bench for unified management, revision and query of the cable information in the test environment.
[0061] As a further solution, the simulation flight system comprises a simulation control system, a simulation running platform and an engineering cockpit; wherein,
[0062] The simulation control system provides simulation management functions, including a model dynamic simulation unit, a companion flying and back-feeding unit, a data excitation unit and an exciter management module; wherein, the model dynamic simulation unit is used for dynamic simulation control of each flight phase of the flight simulation running; the companion flying and back-feeding unit is used for providing flight environment configuration, data recording and playback functions; the data excitation unit is used for generating excitation data and executing injection or receiving of the excitation data; and the exciter management unit realizes centralized configuration, modification and monitoring of the working state of each exciter device by setting injection or receiving of the excitation data to each exciter of the airborne system simulation model;
[0063] As shown, Figure 6 The embodiment realizes high simulation effect and real-time performance through cooperation of the engineering cockpit, the I / O resource pool, the airborne system device, the experimental network, the visual scene and the simulation control system. The I / O resource pool is connected with the engineering cockpit and simultaneously communicates with the airborne system device and the experimental network in real time. Because the real-time data of the airborne system device can directly participate in the simulation process, the engineering cockpit can simulate the real flight environment, and the accuracy and reliability of the simulation are improved.
[0064] On the test network, the visual scene and the simulation control system are running. The visual scene software is responsible for generating realistic flight scenes, including terrain, weather, lighting and other environmental factors, to provide an immersive visual experience for the operator. The simulation control system contains high-fidelity simulation models and airborne system simulation models, which can simulate the flight characteristics and system responses of the aircraft in different environments, providing reliable data support for testing and verification.
[0065] The simulation excitation system architecture is as shown in Figure 7 The simulation excitation system plays a key role in the aircraft system comprehensive test bench, and its functions include model dynamic simulation, data excitation, companion flying and back-feeding, and exciter management software. These functions provide powerful simulation and excitation functions for the aircraft system comprehensive test bench. The hardware components of the simulation excitation system include a real-time simulation computer, a timer board card, a VMIC reflection board card and a real-time network switch.
[0066] Through the application of simulation excitation system, the civil aviation field can more effectively integrate and verify the system during the design, development and operation stage, improve the safety, reliability and performance of the aircraft system, and also reduce the development cost and time.
[0067] Dynamic simulation flight architecture Figure 8 As shown, during dynamic simulation flight, the aircraft system model can simulate the logical function and input-output interface of the actual aircraft system. The interface model converts the input and output of the model into bus data streams according to the definition of the interface control document (ICD). These bus data streams can interact with on-board devices to achieve dynamic joint simulation based on flight tasks.
[0068] In this way, dynamic joint simulation can effectively simulate various complex scenarios and operations in the aircraft. This simulation can not only be used for pilot training and flight performance evaluation, but also for system design and verification to ensure the reliability and safety of the aircraft in various situations.
[0069] The data excitation software divides the function into five modules, including user management module, engineering management module, network configuration module, excitation configuration module, sending sequence configuration module, and system management module. Among them, the user management module is used for user information management, user authentication and authorization; the engineering management module is used for saving and managing the test configuration used by the data excitation; the network configuration module is used for configuring IO interface parameters and mapping relationship between ICD document and IO interface; the sending sequence configuration module is used for obtaining ICD document, configuring and saving instruction set configuration, and the system management module is used for data excitation log information management and user data excitation operation guidance; wherein the test configuration contains true version information and test environment version information, and the instruction set configuration is used to save the instruction set used by the data excitation.
[0070] The data excitation software can obtain the ICD and IO configuration information defined by the integrated control and test auxiliary system, and on the basis of the ICD format, edit the excitation message, send the excitation data to the test network through the synchronous network of the upper and lower computers, and convert the bus signal through the interface resource, and then interact with the true piece.
[0071] As the core software of the aircraft system integrated test bench, the data excitation software has functions beyond basic data acquisition and sending. It can seamlessly integrate the integrated control and test auxiliary system, accurately capture and analyze ICD and IO configuration information.
[0072] Through the mechanism of cooperation between the upper and lower computers, the software can efficiently push the edited stimulation data to the test network, and convert the data into corresponding bus signals using rich interface resources (ARINC664, ARINC 429, etc.). This process ensures the accuracy, real-time performance and reliability of the data during transmission, and lays a solid foundation for subsequent data interaction with real hardware devices (real parts).
[0073] Further, the data stimulation software is adapted to a plurality of IO board cards installed in the lower computer, including but not limited to ARINC664, ARINC 429, etc., to comprehensively support different interface types of data. At the data processing level, the software can automatically complete the tasks of packaging, scheduling and sending the application layer data to the designated board card, realize the simulation of complex data flow, and effectively reduce the test preparation period and cost.
[0074] In addition, the data stimulation software stimulation state statistics and visualization function can display the key data indicators in the test process in real time, help the test personnel quickly locate the problem and evaluate the system performance. By integrating fault diagnosis and prediction algorithms, the software can also provide early warning when abnormal data occurs by bypassing the stimulated data
[0075] The flight accompanying and backfilling software is divided into two parts: flight accompanying and backfilling. The flight accompanying system is responsible for flight simulation, monitoring and control of the test aircraft, while the backfilling system is responsible for processing and analyzing the flight data collected during the flight accompanying process and feeding back the processing results to the flight accompanying system to form a closed loop flight test and analysis system.
[0076] The flight accompanying and backfilling software is a C / S architecture, with the upper computer deploying the client software and the lower computer deploying the server program for underlying data scheduling and communication with the flight simulation model. The client is used for simple logic implementation, including engineering management, flight scene configuration, flight data monitoring, flight instruction control, data import, backfilling control, backfilling configuration, processing request, etc. The server is used to process the execution request sent by the upper computer client, and to establish and recycle the process. The interface management is responsible for communication with the flight simulation model, injecting data into the flight simulation model and obtaining the output data of the flight simulation model. The database is used for storing and reading and writing operations of the data of the entire flight accompanying and backfilling software.
[0077] The companion flight and recharging system adopts a C / S (Client / Server) architecture design, achieving efficient data processing and communication mechanisms. In the system, the upper computer serves as the control center, deploying client software and providing an intuitive and user-friendly user interface, supporting a series of core functions, including: project management (project creation, editing and deletion), flight scene customization configuration (terrain, weather, obstacle setting, etc.), real-time flight data monitoring (dynamic display of key parameters such as speed, altitude, attitude, etc.), precise control of flight instructions (takeoff, landing, route adjustment, etc.), data import and export functions (supporting multiple formats of data files, facilitating data backup and sharing), and recharging control module, allowing users to flexibly configure recharging parameters to achieve precise intervention on the simulation environment. In addition, the client also integrates a request processing system for receiving user operations and forwarding them to the server for processing.
[0078] The lower computer plays an important role as the server, deploying a powerful server program that focuses on the scheduling and processing of underlying data, as well as seamless communication with the flight simulation model. The server program can efficiently handle execution requests from the upper computer client, dynamically create and manage processes, and ensure reasonable allocation and recovery of system resources. Its built-in interface management system uses standardized protocols to achieve bidirectional communication with the flight simulation model, not only injecting various control data and parameters into the simulation model in real time, but also receiving and analyzing the output data from the simulation model to provide accurate and timely feedback to the upper computer.
[0079] To ensure data integrity and security, the system integrates a high-performance database management system to store all data generated during the operation of the companion flight and recharging software, including user configuration information, flight records, simulation results, etc. The database supports efficient read and write operations to ensure fast response to data access and maintenance of data consistency, providing a solid foundation for stable operation of the system and subsequent data analysis.
[0080] The exciter management software can centrally configure and control all exciter devices in the system. Through the functions of sending control instructions and receiving feedback data, it can centrally configure, modify and monitor the working mode, frequency and other signal states of the exciter in each subsystem. Specifically, there are two usage scenarios:
[0081] When the software is in static configuration mode, experimenters can manually configure various exciter parameters through the software interface, and realize the transmission and reception of instructions through the dynamic parameter configuration function;
[0082] When the software is in dynamic configuration mode, the data access interface of the software can obtain the interface parameters of the flight simulation model to automatically adjust the settings of the exciter.
[0083] The data monitoring module mainly supports interface data monitoring of ARINC664 bus and ARINC429 bus, and supports importing ICD files. The module supports ICD monitoring, IO device monitoring, graphic monitoring and customized interface monitoring and other monitoring modes.
[0084] The data acquisition and analysis software is composed of a data monitoring module, a data storage module and a special protocol analysis module, realizes monitoring and storage of ARINC664 bus and ARINC429 bus data, supports ARINC661 protocol analysis and ARINC429 data acquisition and analysis encapsulated in Block messages.

[0115] For cockpit devices, the avionics system uses the ARINC 825 interface as the standard communication interface, which not only has high-speed transmission capability but also ensures real-time and reliable data transmission. Through this interface, the system can accurately drive the control panel components to realize real-time adjustment and display of flight parameters; at the same time, it also supports signal acquisition and remote control of key devices such as dimming control power supply, providing a cockpit environment that is comprehensive in function and convenient to operate for pilots, thereby improving the safety and efficiency of flight operations.
[0116] The test of the aircraft system includes copper bird, electric bird and iron bird, wherein the copper bird refers to the test of the power supply system of the aircraft such as power generation and power distribution.
