[0002] Currently, the experimental teaching equipment in colleges and universities generally faces the dual dilemma of function solidification and discipline isolation. Specifically, the existing solutions mainly fall into four categories, all of which have significant limitations: first, the special experiment box for specific courses (such as single-chip microcomputer, computer composition principle), its function is strictly bound to the course content, resulting in the need for repeated purchase of a large number of single-function equipment in electronic, control, communication and other professional laboratories, causing serious waste of resources and space occupation. Second, the function integrated experiment system using the "core board + extension board" mode, although it realizes partial modularization within a single discipline, its architecture is essentially a fixed "core-peripheral" topology, the module function is predefined and cannot be reorganized across disciplines, only solving physical integration, not realizing flexible configuration of logic and resources. Third, the pure software simulation system can simulate multiple experimental scenarios, but students' operation is completely divorced from real sensors, signals and actuators, and cannot cultivate key engineering practice abilities such as measurement, debugging and error analysis of the physical world. Fourth, the simulation training system for engineering training focuses on operation process training and safety control, and its functional modules are mostly black-boxed complete subsystems, which are closed internally and cannot interact and reconfigure the underlying signals. These devices generally have poor connection reliability, invisible state, high maintenance cost and other problems, which makes the valuable energy in the teaching process often consumed in equipment debugging rather than principle exploration, seriously restricting the effectiveness and efficiency of experimental teaching.
[0003] Currently, the existing technology lacks the ability to integrate multiple disciplines, there are barriers between hardware and data of different disciplines, the experimental process relies on tedious manual operation and offline processing, and the system level does not have the ability to define and automatically execute cross-disciplinary logic chains, which fundamentally limits the development of innovative experimental design involving multi-disciplinary knowledge intersection and real-time inquiry learning.

[0021] EMBODIMENT The present application aims to provide a brand-new intelligent all-in-one machine device for integrated multidisciplinary simulation experiment system education, and the core purpose is not only the integration of hardware devices, but also to build an open innovation platform supporting on-demand allocation of hardware resources, dynamic invocation of multidisciplinary models and software-defined experimental processes. The system enables students and researchers to freely combine hardware resources and computational models of different disciplines like building blocks, quickly build and run complex cross-disciplinary simulation experiments, and thus completely change the traditional experimental teaching mode.
[0022] As Figures 1-4 shown, to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present application proposes a full-stack solution of "hardware resource pooling, software-defined process and discipline model plug-in". The technical solution is jointly constituted by a tightly coupled hardware architecture and a software architecture.

[0027] The software carrier running the unified experimental management operating system has the core software framework of the application deployed thereon, including device drivers, resource schedulers, multidisciplinary experiment engines and the like.
[0028] The intelligent backboard bus system is a customized multi-layer PCB board vertically fixed to the central internal framework of the integrated case, providing N (such as 8) completely identical standardized module slots, each corresponding to a 104Pin composite electrical connector female seat, and the pins are precisely divided according to functions: Power distribution sublayer: the intelligent backboard is connected with a 600W 80Plus gold certified high-density switching power supply, and the power output is multiple DC such as +12V, +5V and +3.3V, which is not simply connected in parallel, but independently controlled and monitored through a series of intelligent power switch chips (such as TPS series of TI). Each power supply of each module slot has independent overcurrent, overvoltage, short circuit protection and current sampling circuit, and the related state is reported to the backboard management MCU (STM32H7) through the I2C bus. This design allows the system to power on, power off or limit the power consumption of a single module slot.
[0029] High-speed data exchange sublayer: the backboard integrates a PCIe3.0 / 4.0 switching chip. The chip is connected with the PCIe channel of the core mainboard, and provides independent PCIe x2 or x4 link for each slot. All high-speed equal-length differential wires are strictly controlled in impedance and designed in equal length to ensure signal integrity (<5mil error), which enables each hardware resource module to exchange high-speed data with the core processor in a "straight-through" manner, with exclusive bandwidth and no interference.
[0030] Management and control sublayer: the sublayer takes a high-performance MCU (STM32H7) as the core.

[0035] Communication and instruction analysis: Connect with the I2C bus of the management and control sublayer of the intelligent backboard bus system through the specified pins of the backboard connector. It is responsible for responding to the polling of the backboard management MCU, reporting identity and status information, and receiving configuration instructions from the upper software Standardized backboard interface: The module back is equipped with a 104Pin composite electrical connector male corresponding to the backboard female, whose pin definition is completely consistent with the backboard, realizing plug and play.

[0065] Part II: Software architecture for realizing multidisciplinary deep integration For example Figure 5 The core goal of the software system of the present invention is to realize the declarative description and automated execution of interdisciplinary experimental logic.
[0066] Unified effect description language and graphical experiment designer: To shield the complexity of underlying hardware and disciplines, the invention defines a unified effect description language. Teachers or students can complete experiment design by dragging icons representing "physical quantities", "hardware resources", "disciplinary models" in a graphical experiment designer, and defining the causal relationship between them with a connection line. The graphical experiment designer automatically generates an EDL script in the background. For example, an EDL fragment describing "light intensity affects glucose synthesis rate" will be defined as follows: "the measured value of the biological module sensor channel A (physical quantity: light intensity, unit: lux)" is converted to "physical quantity: photon energy (unit: J / mol)" through "physical model: photon energy converter", and then is input to "chemical model: C3 plant photosynthesis kinetics simulator", and finally outputs "physical quantity: glucose synthesis rate (unit: mg / s)".
[0067] Real-time data flow execution engine: The EDL script is processed by the parsing and compiling engine, and is converted into a scheduling plan executable by the real-time data flow execution engine. The engine is the core of the entire software system, which includes the following core components: Physical quantity management registry center: maintains the standardized definition of all physical quantities involved in the experiment, units and their conversion relationships (such as the conversion between lux and μmol / m² / s).
[0068] Publish-subscribe message bus: This is a high-throughput, low-latency internal communication system. All data, whether raw sensor readings from hardware or intermediate results from model calculations, are packaged into time-stamped "physical quantity update" messages and published to specific topics. Disciplinary model plugins subscribe to the physical quantity topics they are interested in according to the EDL description.
[0069] Disciplinary model plugin framework: the computational models of physics, chemistry, biology, engineering, etc. are packaged into standard plugins, each providing initialization and execution interfaces, and declaring their input and output physical quantities through configuration files. Model plugins can be dynamically loaded on demand.
[0070] The technical solution of the invention builds a unified platform for deep hardware-software collaboration through "resource pooling" and "intelligent connection" at the hardware layer, and "declarative description" and "real-time data flow driving" at the software layer. It fundamentally changes the functional solidification mode of traditional experimental equipment, enabling cross-disciplinary hardware resources and computational models to be freely combined and automatically coordinated like Lego blocks, thereby enabling unprecedented comprehensive and innovative experimental teaching and scientific research.
[0071] Embodiment one: Photosynthesis multi-disciplinary exploration experiment; For example, Figure 5 andFigure 6 This experiment aims to explore the effects of environmental factors on plant photosynthesis, involving three disciplines: biological measurement, physical energy conversion, and chemical kinetics simulation.
[0072] Step 1: Hardware configuration and physical connection The teacher inserts three standardized hardware modules into any vacant slots of the all-in-one machine (e.g., slots 1, 2, 3).
[0073] Module A (biological sensing module): inserted into slot 1, with its front panel connected to a high-precision light intensity sensor and a patch temperature sensor for measuring light and leaf temperature, respectively.
[0074] Module B (general computing module): inserted into slot 2, this module will run the physical energy conversion model.
[0075] Module C (high-performance processor module): inserted into slot 3, this module will run the chemical kinetics simulation model.
[0076] The system automatically recognizes the newly inserted modules, and the backplane management MCU reads the module IDs. The core software platform automatically loads the corresponding drivers and registers the three modules in the resource pool.
[0077] Step 2: Software-defined experiment logic The teacher opens the graphical experiment designer. From the left resource pool, drag and drop three icons onto the design canvas, representing "light intensity / temperature sensor," "photon energy calculator," and "photosynthesis simulator." Connect these icons in order with connection lines to define the data flow.
[0078] Configure parameters for each icon: Sensor icon: bound to hardware "Module A," specify channel 1 as light intensity (unit: lux) and channel 2 as temperature (unit: °C), with a sampling rate of 10 Hz.
[0079] Physical model icon: select the "photon energy calculation" model, specify using hardware "Module B" to execute, and set the photosynthetically active radiation center wavelength to 680 nm.
[0080] Chemical model icon: select the "C3 plant photosynthesis kinetics" model, specify using hardware "Module C" to execute, and set the initial CO2 concentration to 400 ppm.
[0081] The designer generates a structured EDL script file in the background based on the above graphical operations.
[0082] Step 3: Experiment execution and real-time collaboration The student clicks the "Start" button, and the system enters automatic operation: Data acquisition cycle starts: Real-time data flow engine sends acquisition command to module A through hardware abstraction layer every 100 ms. Module A's ADC converts sensor analog signal to digital value and uploads through PCIe channel.
[0083] Data publishing: Data adapter receives raw code value, converts it to light intensity = 15000 lux and temperature = 25.0 °C using module A's pre-stored calibration coefficients, and immediately publishes it as a message to bus's " / sensors / light" and " / sensors / temp" topics with accurate time stamp.
[0084] Physical model triggers calculation: "Photon energy calculation" model plugin (running on module B) subscribed to " / sensors / light" topic is woken up by new message. Plugin gets light intensity value, executes internal code: first calls unit conversion function to convert lux to photon flux in μmol / m² / s, then calculates photon energy according to formula E = (hc / λ)•Φ. After calculation, it publishes result photon energy = 85 J / mol as a new message to " / physics / photon_energy" topic.
[0085] Chemical model triggers simulation: "Photosynthesis simulation" model plugin (running on module C) subscribed to " / physics / photon_energy" and " / sensors / temp" topics is triggered. It gets photon energy and temperature data, substitutes them into its built-in enzyme kinetics differential equation set for numerical solution. Solution result glucose synthesis rate = 0.152 mg / s is published to " / chemistry / glucose_rate" topic.
[0086] Real-time visualization and logging: Dashboard component subscribes to all above-mentioned key physical quantity topics to refresh four real-time graphs on screen at 10 times per second. Meanwhile, all data is written to database.
[0087] Step 4: Student interaction and exploration.
[0088] As Figure 7 , student observes real-time graphs and proposes hypothesis: "Increasing environmental temperature will first promote then inhibit photosynthesis rate". He (student) directly changes temperature input of chemical model from "real-time sensor reading" to "manual setting" in software interface's "parameter adjustment area" and inputs a gradually increasing temperature sequence. System will immediately re-simulate glucose synthesis rate based on new temperature parameters, student can observe curve changes in real time, quickly verify hypothesis, complete a complete scientific exploration cycle.
[0089] Example 2: Intelligent Robot Vision Servo Control Comprehensive Experiment This experiment demonstrates the application of the system in the intersection of engineering and information science, involving machine vision, real-time computing, and motion control.
[0090] Step 1: Hardware Configuration 1) Insert the machine vision module (with high-definition camera, slot 1).
[0091] 2) Insert the FPGA accelerated computing module (slot 2) for running image processing algorithms.
[0092] 3) Insert the multi-axis servo drive module (slot 3) for driving robot joints.
[0093] 4) Insert the high-precision data acquisition module (slot 4) for reading motor encoder feedback.
[0094] Step 2: Software Logic Construction The teacher constructs a control logic containing a feedback loop in the experiment designer: Define physical quantities: image frames, target object pixel coordinates (X, Y), target object world coordinates (X, Y, Z), joint control instructions, encoder feedback values.
[0095] Drag and connect function blocks: Vision acquisition block: obtain image frames from module A.
[0096] Target recognition block: run neural networks on FPGA in module B to extract target object pixel coordinates from image frames.
[0097] Coordinate transformation block: convert pixel coordinates to world coordinates on CPU in module B according to camera calibration parameters.
[0098] PID control block: calculate the deviation between world coordinates and desired position to generate joint control instructions.
[0099] Drive and feedback block: send control instructions to module C to drive motors; at the same time, read encoder feedback values from module D and send them back to the PID control block to form a closed loop.
[0100] Step 3: System Automatic Cooperative Operation After the experiment starts, the system automatically manages the entire pipeline: the camera collects images at 30fps, each frame of image is transmitted to the FPGA module at high speed through the PCIe channel for accelerated processing, the processing result triggers the coordinate transformation and control algorithm calculation on the CPU, the calculation result is sent to the driving module for execution in real time, and the feedback data is synchronously collected for closed-loop correction. All steps are completed under strict real-time scheduling, the delay is controllable, the deep cooperation across four hardware modules is realized, and a typical interdisciplinary (computer vision, automatic control, robotics) comprehensive experiment is completed.
[0101] Conclusion: The present application realizes the "one machine for multiple use" of the equipment, and the "one key fusion" of the experimental logic, and provides a powerful basic tool for cultivating interdisciplinary innovative talents.
