The controller module 7, signal simulation module 6, signal acquisition module 8, and wireless transmission module 9 are interconnected. The TXS system is connected to the signal simulation module 6 and signal acquisition module 8.

[0022] The controller module 7 is installed inside the device and uses microcontroller technology, providing three power-saving modes: sleep, stop, and standby. The controller's minimum operating circuit includes a reset circuit, a JTAG download interface, and an external crystal oscillator circuit.

[0023] Signal simulation module 6 is used to generate input signals for the TXS system, including current, voltage, and resistance signals. The current output range is 0–20mA with a 2% over-range setting; the voltage output range is 0–10V with a 20% over-range setting. The resistance output signal uses a high-precision, high-step-resolution programmable resistor array module. This module uses electromagnetic relays and a real resistor network, employing high-precision, low-temperature drift, non-inductive resistors with an accuracy of 0.01% and a temperature coefficient of 2PPM. It enables programmable real resistance output with an output range of 0.001Ω–1MΩ and a step accuracy of 0.001Ω.

[0024] Signal acquisition module 8 acquires the voltage and current signals output by the TXS system. When the input is current, an analog switch is used to switch to a series high-precision sampling resistor to convert current to voltage. When the input is a voltage signal, the switch is turned off, and the voltage signal bypasses the resistor. The voltage signal is amplified and then sent to the ADC for acquisition. The ADC conversion chip is a 16-bit ADC with a standard SPI interface and operates on a single power supply.

[0027] System initialization ensures no reactor shutdown signal triggers before the test. Determine the test channel and connect the test device's output signal cable to the test channel. Trigger signal: The host computer wirelessly sends a trigger signal to the test device based on the signal type of the determined channel. For high-value triggers, a trigger signal of 105% of the trigger setting is sent by default; for low-value triggers, a trigger signal of 95% of the trigger setting is sent by default. Trigger time acquisition: When the trigger signal is issued, record time point t0 and return to signal acquisition. When the reactor protection system shutdown signal / dedicated signal relay contact reverses, record time point t1. Calculate the reactor protection system channel response time. The test device calculates the channel response time t = t_0. 1-t0: Multiple tests are conducted, and the maximum value is taken as the response time for this channel. Wireless data transmission: The testing device wirelessly transmits the measured data to the host computer. Test conclusions: The host computer automatically determines whether the data is qualified and draws a conclusion based on the judgment criteria. Data export: Test personnel can export or print all measured data according to preset document templates.
