[0020] The management module is provided with a power interface, several network interfaces and several optical fiber control interfaces; the network interface is an RJ45 network interface, which is used to connect to a remote test host or / and an external control device / protection device, obtain test cases from the remote test host, form a closed-loop test system with the control device or protection device, and receive protection event information of the device under test (in the form of a message); the power interface is connected to an independent AC / DC power supply; the optical fiber control interface of the management module is connected to the other modules one by one to realize the control of the other modules.

[0021] The power amplifier module is provided with a high-power power interface, a fiber optic control interface and several analog interfaces; among which, the high-power power interface is connected to an independent high-power AC and DC power supply; the fiber optic control interface of the power amplifier module is connected to the fiber optic control interface of the management module and is controlled by the management module; the analog interface is connected to the corresponding device under test, and the power amplifier module applies analog quantity to the corresponding device under test through the analog interface, which is used in scenarios where AC and analog quantity coordination is required during testing.

[0022] The open-in / out module is provided with a power interface, a fiber optic control interface and several open-in / out interfaces; wherein the power interface is externally connected to an independent AC / DC power supply; the fiber optic control interface of the open-in / out module is connected to the fiber optic control interface of the management module and is controlled by the management module; the open-in / out interface includes both the open-out interface and the open-in interface, the open-in / out interface is connected to the corresponding device under test, the open-in / out module applies a switching quantity to the corresponding device under test through the open-out interface in the open-in / out interface, and obtains the export action from the corresponding device under test through the open-in interface in the open-in / out interface.

[0023] The optical fiber Ethernet module is provided with a power interface, an optical fiber control interface and several optical fiber Ethernet transceiver interfaces; wherein the power interface is externally connected to an independent AC / DC power supply; the optical fiber control interface of the optical fiber Ethernet module is connected to the optical fiber control interface of the management module and is controlled by the management module; the optical fiber Ethernet transceiver interface includes both a sending interface and a receiving interface, and the optical fiber Ethernet transceiver interface is connected to the corresponding device under test.

The test of the DC system can be completed without multiple test devices. The implementation is fast and convenient, and there is no need to build a complex test environment.
