[0046] The intelligent interface unit is responsible for providing an adapter interface between the core control layer and the device under test, providing the 24V power supply required for testing, and providing the external conditions required for testing to the device under test layer. Unlike existing test systems, the addition of an intelligent interface adapter unit can greatly improve the testing capability of the test system, from the original single-machine test to batch testing, greatly improving efficiency. At the same time, the flexible interface allows the test system to be flexibly applied to intelligent scenarios.
[0047] Working principle:
[0048] When the main power supply is turned on, according to the test requirements, the core control layer intelligently switches the internal circuit of the intelligent test interface unit through the program. The intelligent test interface unit adjusts the supply of 24 DC conditions, changes the relay coding conditions and communication coding conditions of the device under test, matches the terminal resistance required for communication, and changes the external load.
[0049] When testing a relay-encoded transmitter, the interface adapter unit automatically switches from communication encoding to relay encoding. When testing a communication-encoded transmitter, the interface adapter unit automatically switches from relay encoding to communication encoding. Setting up the interface adapter unit involves supplying a 24V DC power supply, configuring the transmitter base, communicating with the CAN bus, collecting transmitter FSK signals, isolating signals between devices, and collecting current and voltage.
[0050] When the transmitter FSK signal level needs to be changed, adjust the relays between test 1-7 and test 1-1 to test 1-6, and between test 1-14 and test 1-8 to test 1-13 to adjust the level, such as Figure 3 shown.
[0051] When testing the relay encoder transmitter, disconnect the four relays Relay13, Relay15, Relay17, and Relay19, and attract the four relays Relay14, Relay16, Relay18, and Relay20 to ensure that F1\F2\F3\F4 can obtain 24V conditions; attract the four relays Relay13, Relay15, Relay17, and Relay19, and disconnect the four relays Relay14, Relay16, Relay18, and Relay20 to ensure that the CAN channel between the device under test layer and the core control layer is unobstructed, while ensuring the isolation of the 24V conditional power and the control CAN communication relay to ensure safety; to solve the conflict problem between the relay encoder transmitter base F1\F2\F3\F4 and the communication encoder transmitter base CANDH\CANDL\CANEH\CANEL, such as Figure 4 shown.
[0052] The transmitter FSK signal output is divided into two cases of empty load and 400 ohm band load, in the empty load case, the Relay 42 is attracted, in the 400 ohm band load case, the Relay 42 is disconnected, so as to realize the transmitter FSK signal empty load output and the transmitter FSK signal 400 ohm band load output, as shown in Figure 5 . .
[0053] The FBJ signal terminals and the power module of ten transmitters are connected in parallel with the oscilloscope through the relay, and the attraction of the relay is controlled to determine which terminal is measured by the multimeter, so as to realize that one multimeter covers all test points, as shown in Figure 6 .
[0054] The base configuration condition terminals of ten transmitters are connected in parallel with the 24V condition terminal through the relay, and the attraction of the relay is controlled to determine which base configuration condition terminal is directly connected to the 24V condition terminal, so as to realize that one 24V condition terminal covers all base configuration condition terminals.
[0055] The preferred embodiments of the present application are described in detail above. It should be understood that those skilled in the art can make many modifications and changes without creative labor based on the concept of the present application. Therefore, any technical solution obtained by logical analysis, reasoning or limited experiment based on the prior art according to the concept of the present application shall be within the protection scope determined by the claims.
