Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of fault monitoring of information collection terminals, and particularly to a method, device, medium and system for fault monitoring of power consumption information collection terminals. Background Art

[0002] In the research and development and production process of State Grid power consumption information collection terminals, such as products like Energy Control Special Transformer (ECU) and collectors, although the national standard tests of the equipment cover targeted function and performance tests, there are still "oversights" for complex and changeable on-site actual problems. Limited by the changeable on-site environment and the large number and variety of attached devices in the test-hanging site, there are usually thousands of attached devices in such a system, and it is often difficult to troubleshoot and verify coupling problems. Moreover, in this case, the difficulty and cost of fault reproduction are relatively high. If problems are directly troubleshot in the original system, it will cause a batch of devices to fail or even become paralyzed, affecting the normal power information measurement and control needs of users in the area. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To solve the above problems, the present invention provides a method for fault monitoring of power consumption information collection terminals, including the following processes: Preset device faults; Build a virtual environment according to the device faults. The virtual environment includes virtual devices and connection ports, and is used to simulate complex and difficult-to-reproduce real environments; Configure an operating protocol for each virtual device. The operating protocol includes an operating time sequence. By configuring the time sequence for the actions of the virtual devices, a large number of repeated automated fault monitoring and troubleshooting are completed; Run the virtual devices according to the operating protocol until the preset device faults occur or the preset number of repetitions is reached; Record and analyze the communication data between the virtual devices during the running process.

[0004] Preferably, the device faults include device faults defined by testers and device faults generated during actual operation.

[0005] More preferably, when detecting, multiple device faults are preset simultaneously, and coupling problems in complex scenarios can be monitored.

[0006] On the basis of the above solution, the connection ports include persistent ports and variable ports. The persistent ports are preset and unchanged ports, and the variable ports need to be reconfigured and connected every time the virtual environment runs. Combined with the above operating protocol, they can be automatically configured and connected according to the requirements of the operating time sequence.

[0007] The second aspect of the present invention provides a device for fault monitoring of power consumption information collection terminals, including: A device for presetting device faults; A device for building a virtual environment according to device failures, where the virtual environment includes virtual devices and connection ports; A device for configuring an operating protocol for each virtual device, where the operating protocol includes an operating time sequence; A device for operating virtual devices according to the operating protocol until a preset device failure occurs or a preset number of times is repeated; A device for recording and analyzing communication data between virtual devices during the operation process.

[0008] The third aspect of the present invention provides a computer-readable storage medium storing a runnable computer program, which, when running, implements the above-mentioned method for monitoring failures of an electricity consumption information collection terminal.

[0009] The fourth aspect of the present invention provides a system for monitoring failures of an electricity consumption information collection terminal, including: A preprocessing module for presetting device failures; A virtual environment building module for building a virtual environment according to device failures, where the virtual environment includes virtual devices and connection ports; A real device module for connecting to real devices; A protocol module for configuring an operating protocol for each virtual device, where the operating protocol includes an operating time sequence and operating instructions; A simulation module for operating virtual devices according to the operating protocol and recording communication data between virtual devices until a preset device failure occurs or a preset number of times is repeated; A recording and output module for recording and analyzing communication data between virtual devices during the operation process.

[0010] Preferably, an operating protocol can be configured for real accessory devices, and in the simulation module, virtual devices and real accessory devices are simultaneously operated according to the operating protocol to meet applications in multiple scenarios.

[0011] The advantages of the present invention are as follows: 1. By building a virtual environment with virtual devices and connection ports, complex real environments and test environments that are difficult to reproduce in reality can be simulated, such as an operating environment with thousands of accessory devices connected. Using the virtual environment to simulate the real test environment can conveniently reproduce the fault scene in the laboratory, greatly reducing the cost of building the monitoring environment and the investment in human resources; 2. Since problems occurring in complex environments are usually coupled problems, this solution simultaneously sets multiple device failures and corresponding operating protocols to simulate the real environment, and can efficiently and low-cost diagnose coupled problems; 3. The time-sequential design is used for automated monitoring, simplifying the operation process in complex test environments; 4. Divide the ports into persistent ports and variable ports. The persistent ports are connected through a fixed communication protocol and do not need to be changed, and can be automatically connected each time. While the variable ports do not have a common communication protocol, and the port information of the variable ports can be automatically configured each time according to the running timing and running instructions to achieve the effect of high-degree-of-freedom and a large number of repeated simulations; 5. When building the virtual environment, it supports setting virtual devices and connecting real attached devices at the same time, can take into account both simple and complex scenarios, and has a wide range of applications. Description of the Drawings

[0012] Figure 1 It is the overall flowchart of the present invention.

[0013] Figure 2 It is a schematic diagram of the process of building the virtual environment. Detailed Embodiments

[0014] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the detailed embodiments and the drawings.

[0015] As Figure 1 shown, the method for monitoring the faults of the power consumption information collection terminal includes: Preset the device faults to be monitored; Build a virtual environment according to the set device faults, and the virtual environment includes virtual devices and connection ports; Configure an operating protocol for the virtual devices in the virtual environment, and the operating protocol includes running timing and running instructions; Run the virtual devices according to the running timing, and judge whether the preset device faults occur. If not, then judge whether the specified number of times has been run. If the specified number of times has not been run, repeat this step; If the preset device faults occur or the specified number of times has been run, analyze the communication data between the virtual devices recorded during the running process to complete the device fault monitoring.

[0016] In other embodiments, the number of running times is not specified, and the virtual devices are repeatedly run until device faults occur. This monitoring method can monitor latent device faults including the degree of aging.

[0017] In the conventional development and test environment, it is necessary to manually build the device operating environment. In some scenarios where the environment is relatively simple, the number of attached devices is small, and the types are single, the real scenario can be used; but more abnormal problems come from complex operating environments, and it is difficult to use real attached devices to build in such cases; in this embodiment, the central control virtual environment configuration and simulation of attached device hardware are used instead, so that the simulation environment can be built according to the needs of development and test personnel.

[0018] As Figure 2As shown in the figure, a virtual device configuration module, a communication port preset module, a logic programmable module, and a data flow monitoring module are designed in the central control software.

[0019] Before operation, first configure the attributes of the virtual device in the virtual device configuration module, such as the type, quantity, and communication port of the virtual device; Then, set the communication port types as persistent ports and variable ports in the communication port preset module. Among them, the persistent ports are configured as preset unchangeable connection ports, such as the 232 port and 485 port for maintaining monitoring functions, the 645 port or 698 port for interacting with the central control software. These ports can be used permanently once preset, and can automatically reconnect even if the target device restarts or the port reconnects due to other reasons; The variable ports need to be actively connected frequently according to the timing requirements. Such ports are usually custom ports required in the test and need to configure information such as different models of attached devices or communication protocols of different meter supply companies.

[0020] Perform timed logical configuration on the above virtual devices and variable ports through the logic programmable module, such as restarting the device 1000 times, and after each restart, connecting to the specified port through the specified connection protocol according to the settings. It can meet the test requirements under different preset scenarios.

[0021] During operation, the data flow monitoring module outputs and records the communication data between the central control software and the target device in real time, and records the execution results of each test process to ensure that the data results are visible during the pre-test or the reproduction of the coupling problem scenario.

[0022] The connection method between the central control software and the acquisition terminal is through a 4G network or an Ethernet connection, and the connection port is the above-mentioned 645 persistent port or 698 persistent port. SSH or FTP debugging instructions can be configured through the network connection to complete the initialization and debugging of the central control software for the acquisition terminal, and monitor and further configure the functions of the acquisition terminal through a 232 hub or a 458 hub; Build a virtual environment through a private protocol. During the construction of the simulation environment of the attached device, configure the functions and debug and monitor the virtual device through a 232 port hub and a 485 port hub; In this embodiment, the 232 port hub further connects to a three-phase power control relay through a custom protocol to control the current and voltage flowing through the virtual device to simulate the current and voltage fluctuations in the actual circuit; The 485-port hub is further connected to a signal generator, a virtual meter board card, and a pulse generator through a custom protocol. The signal generator is used to measure data such as frequency, waveform, and output level signals in a virtual environment. The virtual meter board card is used to simulate virtual devices, such as a large number of meters. The pulse generator is used to generate signals with different waveforms or cut off power for high-frequency virtual devices to simulate usage states in different situations or meet the testing needs of testers.

[0023] In other embodiments, the signal generator, the virtual meter board card, the pulse generator, and the power control relay are replaced with other devices that simulate real-time states in analog circuits, such as voltage followers and power amplifiers.

[0024] The acquisition terminal has ports for connecting real attached devices, which are used to directly connect real attached devices. The real attached devices and virtual devices can operate simultaneously under the control of the central control software, providing scalable and multi-scenario applications.

[0025] Specifically, the real attached devices can be meter devices such as carrier meters and 485 meters.

[0026] In other embodiments, the 4G network is replaced with other wireless connection methods, such as 2G, 3G, and Bluetooth.

[0027] In other embodiments, the acquisition terminal is only connected to real attached devices, and the test is controlled through the central control software and the central control host computer, which is used for fault monitoring and troubleshooting in simple scenarios.

[0028] In other embodiments, the acquisition terminal is only connected to virtual devices, and the test is controlled through the central control software and the central control host computer. The test environment can be built according to the needs of testers. The presence of virtual devices greatly improves the flexibility of building the test environment.

For those skilled in the art, various changes and modifications can be made to the present application. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included within the protection scope of the present application.

[0030] Although the specific implementation manners of the present invention have been described above, it is not a limitation to the protection scope of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that based on the technical solutions of the present invention, various modifications or deformations that can be made without creative labor by those skilled in the art are still within the protection scope of the present invention.
