It is necessary to check the electrical signals and logical relationships sent by the EMU electrical coupler one by one. At present, the EMU split-and-join test debugging is completed manually. During the test, two operators are required to use a multimeter to pressurize each probe, and three assistants are required to assist in other operations in the car. There are many electrical coupler probes and they are densely distributed. The split-and-join test test items include 18 grounding tests, 2 short-circuit tests, 126 power confirmation tests, 20 110V pressure tests, and 8 broadcast tests, totaling 174 items (there will be some differences in different models). The split-and-join test operation time is as long as 3 hours. During the entire test process, all 96 probes are exposed to the outside with electricity. There is a risk of slipping needles when measuring with a multimeter, and in severe cases, the circuit board may even be burned. The operator needs to concentrate highly.
