[0029] Further, in the step 3, the test comprises testing the train control and management system through the driver and testing the driver through the train test simulation platform.

[0030] Further, when testing the train control and management system, the state of the switch is set to be in the real driver state, and the real driver is operated to test the train control and management system.

[0031] Further, when performing the controller test, the state of the switch is set to be in the real controller state and the simulation controller state respectively, and the outputs in the real and simulation controller states are recorded and compared.

[0038] Figure 2 is a flowchart of the test method of the present application. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0039] The present application will be further described in detail below in combination with the drawings and specific embodiments:

[0040] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the present application clearer and more apparent, the present application will be further described in detail below in combination with the drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present application and do not limit the present application.

[0041] As shown in Figure 1 , a controller system mainly includes one or more controllers, an electrical interface, and multiple data acquisition devices. The controller system is used to connect with a train test simulation platform and output controller signals to the train test simulation platform.

[0042] Among them, one or more controllers are real controllers, which are used to operate the master handle to send corresponding signals to the train test simulation platform. The controller can be one or more types, which outputs different signals for different train test simulation platforms, i.e., multiple different types of controllers can be connected at the same time according to the test requirements to meet the diversified requirements.

[0043] An electrical interface is used to connect with one or more controllers and a plurality of data acquisition devices. One-to-many connection, i.e. one controller connected with a plurality of train test simulation platforms, or many-to-many connection, i.e. a plurality of controllers connected with corresponding train test simulation platforms, can be realized. In the embodiment, the electrical interface is a general interface.

[0044] A plurality of data acquisition devices are connected with the electrical interface and used to acquire the output signals of the controllers and communicate with the train test simulation platforms. The data acquisition devices can not only send corresponding data to the train test simulation platforms, but also receive control signals from the train test simulation platforms. Each data acquisition device is connected with a train test simulation platform, and the number of the data acquisition devices is determined according to the number of the train test simulation platforms in the embodiment.

[0045] The electrical interface and the data acquisition devices are set to make the controller system applied to a plurality of train control and management system simulation platforms, thereby saving expenses and improving universality and flexibility. In addition, the general electrical interface meets diversified needs and effectively improves train test efficiency.

[0046] In the embodiment, the data acquisition device includes an input module and an output module, and the input module is connected with the output module. The input module is used to acquire the output signals of the controllers. The output module is used to communicate the acquired output signals of the controllers with the train test simulation platforms, and the output module is also used to control the power supply of the input module.

[0047] The train test simulation platforms can include various test platforms, and one of the train test simulation platforms is a test simulation platform for the train control and management system in the embodiment. The train test simulation platform includes the train control and management system, a switch and a software interface.

[0049] The software interface is used to be connected with the train control and management system and send corresponding signals to the train control and management system through the simulation controller.

[0050] The switch is used to be connected with the train control and management system, the data acquisition device and the software interface, and switch between the real controller and the simulation controller. The switch has two states: using the real controller and using the simulation controller. When the switch is in the state of using the real controller, the train control and management system uses the output signals of the real controller; otherwise, the train control and management system uses the output signals of the simulation controller.

[0051] As Figure 2As shown, a train test method using the above-mentioned controller system comprises the following steps:

[0052] Step 1: Connect the data acquisition device corresponding to the different train test simulation platforms.

[0053] Step 2: Power the train test simulation platform, set the signals of the train test simulation platform, and make the train in a normal driving state.

[0054] Step 3: Test, including testing the train control and management system through the controller and testing the controller through the train test simulation platform.

[0055] When testing the train control and management system, set the state of the switch to use the real controller, and test the train control and management system by operating the real controller.

[0056] When testing the controller, set the state of the switch to be in the real controller and simulation controller state respectively, record and compare the output of the real and simulation controller.

[0057] Step 4: Output the test results.

[0058] The controller system and the train test method using the system have the following advantages:

[0059] (1) One electrical interface is used to apply one controller to multiple train control and management system simulation platforms, saving costs while improving universality and flexibility.

[0060] (2) The position can be changed at any time according to the test requirements to meet the diversified test requirements, and the test can also be performed in a relatively simple test environment.

[0061] (3) The electrical interface is universal and meets the diversified requirements, effectively improving the train test efficiency.

[0062] (4) The test method is diversified, which reduces the test failure rate caused by single communication method and improves the test quality.

[0063] As described above, the scheme content given in combination with the drawings can derive similar technical solutions. Any simple modification, equivalent change and modification of the above embodiments according to the technical essence of the present application still belongs to the scope of the present application.
