[0037] Figure 2 It is a structural diagram of a joint debugging and testing system of a novel edge gateway and a cloud platform provided in one embodiment of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0038] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0039] In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the terms "first" and "second" are only used for descriptive purposes and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the indicated technical features.

[0040] like Figure 1 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a new joint debugging test method of an edge gateway and a cloud platform, and the method includes at least the following steps:

[0041] Step S1: receiving a test file sent by a cloud platform;

[0042] In this embodiment, the accuracy of testing a temperature sensor is taken as an example for description.

[0043] For step S1, when performing a test task, the cloud platform will send the corresponding test files to the edge layer portable tester. The edge layer portable tester will receive these test files from the cloud platform to perform subsequent testing work.

[0044] It should be noted that the test file has already made blank definitions of the test point name, ID, test items, and test data volume. This information has not yet been specifically defined or filled in, but has been left blank and needs to be filled in with specific values ​​or content based on the device under test.

[0045] Step S2: Generate a test plan based on the test file and the device information of the device under test;

[0046] In a preferred embodiment, a test plan is generated according to the test file and the device information of the device under test, including:

[0047] Get the device information of the device under test;

[0048] Search the database to see if the device information of the device under test exists. If yes, match the analog quantity required by the device under test according to the database; if not, send a matching error signal;

[0049] Integrate the test file, device information of the device under test, and the analog quantity to obtain a test plan.

[0050] For step S2, first, obtain the device information of the temperature sensor to be tested, such as the device name, device type and device ID, and then search in the database for matching device information based on the obtained device information. If matching device information is successfully found in the database, it means that the amount of data used for testing this type of device, that is, the analog amount has been pre-defined. In this case, the relevant parameters and information stored in the database can be directly used to integrate the test file and automatically generate a test plan. If matching device information is not found in the database, it means that the test device is a new device and the amount of data used for the test cannot be obtained through automatic matching in the database. A matching error signal can be sent to notify technicians or engineers to intervene and add the relevant information of the new device to the database.

[0051] For better explanation, the information in the database is shown in the form of Table 1, including but not limited to the following end devices:

[0052] Table 1 Information of each terminal device in the database

[0053]

[0054] When the database is successfully matched, the information obtained from the database is integrated into the test file to generate a test plan for the temperature sensor under test, such as device name: temperature sensor / device ID: TS001 / test item: ambient temperature / test data volume: three remote parameters, where the remote control data in the three remote parameters can be used as the analog quantity of the device under test to simulate the test scenario. In this embodiment, the values ​​of the analog quantity are +88.7°C and -29.8°C, indicating that the signal when the temperature environment is +88.7°C and the signal when the ambient temperature is -29.8°C are simulated by the three remote data.

[0055] Step S3: Send the analog quantity in the test scheme to the perception layer end device, so that the perception layer end device generates the corresponding actual output quantity according to the analog quantity and sends the actual output quantity to the edge gateway;

[0056] For step S3, the analog data obtained in step S2 is transmitted from the portable tester at the edge layer to the terminal device at the perception layer. The terminal device at the perception layer is actually the device to be tested. The terminal device at the perception layer converts these analog signals into digital signals or other forms of electrical signals through its internal acquisition module, thereby completing the collection of analog data emitted by the tester. Through the acquisition module, the terminal device can accurately capture various analog signals emitted by the tester, thereby obtaining the actual output of the device to be tested. In this embodiment, the temperature sensor to be tested collects the analog signals emitted by the portable tester at the edge layer one by one, and the actual output values ​​measured are +88.67°C and -29.76°C.

[0057] In order to ensure the accuracy and reliability of data transmission, the actual output is transmitted through specific protocols, including but not limited to DLT645, Modbus, MQTT, and 104 / 101. Through these protocols, the integrity and consistency of the data can be ensured during the transmission process, thereby ensuring that the data finally transmitted to the edge gateway is accurate. In this way, the actual output of the device under test can be effectively and accurately transmitted to the edge gateway.

[0058] Step S4: receiving the actual output forwarded by the edge gateway;

[0059] For step S4, after the actual output quantity generated by the perception layer end device in step S3 is transmitted to the edge gateway through the protocol, the edge gateway will forward the actual output quantity to the edge layer portable tester, and the edge layer portable tester will receive the actual output quantity forwarded by the edge gateway.

[0060] By forwarding the actual output generated by the perception layer device through the edge gateway, some simple data processing and analysis can be performed on the received actual output data. For example, the data can be aggregated, denoised, filtered, compressed or normalized to transmit and process the data more efficiently.

[0061] Step S5: Generate a first test report according to the simulated value and the actual output value;

[0062] In a preferred embodiment, a first test report is generated according to the simulated quantity and the actual output quantity, including:

[0063] Compare and analyze the simulated quantity and the actual output quantity to obtain the test result data;

[0064] The test result data is compared with the test standard to generate a first test report.

[0065] For step S5, first, the obtained simulation data and actual output data are compared and analyzed in detail, the simulation data are compared with the actual output data item by item, and the difference between the two is calculated. Based on these difference values, the error range and accuracy index are further calculated. Through these analyses, a series of test result data are obtained.

[0066] Next, the test standards for the temperature sensor device under test are extracted from the database. These test standards usually include a series of specific technical parameters and performance indicators to guide the test process and evaluate the test results. For example, the test standard for the temperature sensor under test is: measurement error ≤ 0.05℃, the test is qualified.

[0067] Then, the analyzed test result data is compared with the test standard, and according to the requirements of the test standard, it is evaluated whether the test result data meets the prescribed standard.

[0068] Finally, use the existing programming language to operate the COM interface (such as _application, _document, _table, _worksheet, and _workbook, etc.), and fill the test data, analysis results, and related parameters into the pre-designed report template by controlling the table in the WPS application. After completing the processing and improvement of the test report, export the test report file and save it. The report can be saved in an editable document format, such as Word document or PDF format, for subsequent reference and sharing.

[0069] Step S6: Send the first test report to the cloud platform.

[0070] In a preferred embodiment, the cloud platform is also used to: store the received test report; and display the stored test report.

[0071] For step S6, the edge layer portable tester uploads the test report obtained in step S5 to the cloud platform. In addition, the cloud platform is not only responsible for receiving these test reports, but also has the function of storing and viewing the received test reports, so that users can conveniently view and analyze these reports.

[0072] In a preferred embodiment, the joint debugging test method of the new edge gateway and the cloud platform also includes:

[0073] Perform internal simulation of the edge layer portable tester according to the simulated quantity to obtain simulation test data;

[0074] Generate a second test report based on the simulation quantity and the simulation test data;

[0075] The second test report is sent to the cloud platform.

[0076] In one embodiment of the present invention, after the edge layer portable tester generates a test scheme for testing the temperature sensor in step S2, the edge layer portable tester will also perform simulation inside it according to the analog quantity parameters in the test scheme. Through simulation, the response and output of the temperature sensor under different conditions can be simulated. These data cover the correspondence between the analog quantity input and the simulation output, and can be used to evaluate the performance and accuracy of the temperature sensor. Based on the analog quantity and simulation test data, the edge layer portable tester generates a second test report, which includes comparative analysis of the analog quantity input and simulation output, performance evaluation, etc., to show the test results and analysis of the temperature sensor. Finally, the generated second test report will be uploaded to the cloud platform.

[0077] Physical testing of sensors may require the use of specialized equipment and consume a lot of time and resources. By simulating inside the edge layer portable tester, the response of the sensor can be simulated inside the edge layer portable tester, effectively avoiding the cost and resource consumption of actual testing.

[0078] In addition, the simulation process can significantly improve the efficiency and speed of testing, thereby evaluating the performance and accuracy of the sensor more quickly.

[0085] The edge layer portable tester is also used to generate a first test report based on the simulated quantity and the actual output quantity, and send the first test report to the cloud platform.

[0086] It should be noted that the traditional edge gateway is a device located at the edge of the edge computing network, which is used to connect the end device and the cloud platform, act as a bridge for data exchange and protocol conversion, transmit data from the end device to the cloud platform, and can also transmit the instructions and data of the cloud platform back to the end device. Therefore, in the traditional edge computing architecture, the cloud needs to provide functions such as monitoring, data analysis, and remote control. In the present invention, the cloud platform no longer directly participates in data processing and instruction issuance, but only issues test file templates and receives test reports, avoiding security risks caused by excessive participation of the cloud platform.
