Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of information technology, and in particular to a method for testing inductive conductivity electrodes. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of industrial automation inspection, the performance testing of inductive electrodes plays a crucial role, directly impacting equipment stability and product quality and safety. As industrial production increasingly demands both efficiency and precision, achieving a balance between speed and reliability in batch testing has become a key research and application direction in this field. As a core component for sensing and transmitting signals, the accurate evaluation of the performance of inductive electrodes plays an irreplaceable role in ensuring smooth production processes.

[0003] However, existing detection methods often struggle to balance the accuracy of signal acquisition with the stability of the operation process when facing multi-channel parallel testing. Especially in scenarios requiring the simultaneous processing of multiple electrode signals, the detection equipment is susceptible to external interference, leading to significant fluctuations in the acquired signal values ​​and consequently affecting the reliability of the final judgment. Furthermore, the presentation of detection results is often not intuitive enough, making it difficult for operators to quickly determine the electrode status, increasing the cost of manual intervention and the risk of errors.

[0004] A deeper technical challenge lies in effectively controlling the switching process of standard resistors in multi-channel detection and accurately reflecting the performance status of the electrodes through this process. The switching of standard resistors is a core element of the detection process, determining the benchmark for signal value comparison. However, if the switching is not stable enough or the control is not precise enough, it will lead to deviations in signal values, thus affecting the judgment of electrode status. For example, in batch testing, if the resistor switching time is too short and data is acquired before the signal has stabilized, the obtained values ​​may deviate from the true situation. Furthermore, if the switching times are inconsistent, differences in the benchmarks between different channels will also occur, ultimately leading to some electrodes being misjudged as unqualified, or even masking the true performance problems. This signal deviation problem caused by inaccurate switching control has become a core bottleneck restricting detection efficiency and accuracy.

[0005] Therefore, how to achieve precise control of standard resistor switching in multi-channel parallel detection, and ensure that batch detection is both efficient and reliable through stable signal acquisition and intuitive judgment methods, has become a key problem that needs to be solved in this study.
