[0028] The specific embodiments of the utility model are described below in combination with the drawings.

[0029] Figure 1 An automatic dot test system is shown, which comprises a test table 20 and a control host 10, the test table 20 and the control host 10 are connected through a data line 12, the data line 12 in the embodiment is a data cable, and in fact, according to the needs of the application scene, it can also be connected through a wireless communication line. The control host 10 can be a computer, a tablet computer or a similar computing device, which has an input and output device 11, such as a keyboard, a liquid crystal screen and a touch display screen, etc., for the operator to input corresponding operation instructions or run specific tool software.

[0030] The test table 20 comprises a box body, a test signal generator 21 arranged in the box body, an IO interface 22 arranged on the wall of the box body, and a test signal line 24 connected between the IO interface 22 and the industrial control cabinet to be tested. The test signal generator 21 is connected with the control host 10 through the data line 12, and the signal sent by the control host 10 can be received by the test signal generator 21 through the data line 12. The test signal generator 21 in the embodiment is a programmable logic controller, which comprises a control signal interface 211 connected with the control host 10, and the signal sent by the control host 10 is directly received by the control signal interface 211; the output signal port of the programmable logic controller is electrically connected with the IO interface 22 (the connection line is not shown in the figure), and the test signal line 24 is connected between the IO interface 22 and the industrial control cabinet to be tested. Figure 1The test signal generator 21 can send preset digital test signals or analog test signals to the IO interface 22 according to the instructions of the control host 10, and the preset digital test signals or analog test signals are sent to the industrial control cabinet to be tested through the test signal line 24. In the embodiment, the IO interface 22 adopts a quick connector, and the first end 241 of the test signal line 24 is also a quick connector structure matched therewith, so that the plug-in connection can be conveniently performed. The second end 242 of the test signal line 24 is a plug structure matched with the signal interface of the industrial control cabinet to be tested, and can also be a quick connector structure or other matched plug structure according to the signal interface of the industrial control cabinet to be tested.

[0031] The automatic dot test system of the embodiment further comprises a signal analysis unit 23 which is also arranged in the box and is electrically connected with the test signal generator 21 and the IO interface 22, and is used for comparing the signal sent by the test signal generator 21 with the feedback signal of the industrial control cabinet to be tested, so as to determine whether the receiving and transmitting functions of the industrial control cabinet to be tested for digital and analog signals are normal according to the comparison result.

[0032] Figure 2 The module structure of the signal analysis unit 23 is shown, which comprises a reference index storage unit 231 and a test index storage unit 232, and further comprises an analog-digital converter 233, wherein the parameters of the test signal received by the signal analysis unit 23 from the test signal generator 21 are stored in the reference index storage unit 231, and the parameters of the feedback signal received by the signal analysis unit 23 from the industrial control cabinet to be tested are stored in the test index storage unit 232.

[0033] When the test signal generator 21 generates a digital pulse signal under the instruction control of the control host 10, the number of times of sending the digital pulse signal is stored in the reference index storage unit 231, and the industrial control cabinet to be tested counts the received digital pulse signal and feeds back the final technical result to the signal analysis unit 23 and stores the result in the test index storage unit 232. The signal analysis unit 23 compares the number of times stored in the reference index storage unit 231 with the number of times stored in the test index storage unit 232, and if the two data are consistent, it can be determined that the receiving and transmitting functions of the industrial control cabinet to be tested for digital signals are perfect.

The signal analysis unit 23 compares the parameters stored in the reference index storage unit 231 and the parameters in the test index storage unit 232, and if the two data are consistent, it can be judged that the analog signal transceiving function of the industrial control cabinet under test is perfect.

[0035] The signal analysis unit 23 feeds back the detection result to the control host 10 through the data line 12 after completing the data comparison, and the output device of the control host 10 can intuitively display the result to the operator. At the same time, the control host 10 can also summarize several detection results to form a detection report file.

[0036] When the industrial control cabinet is detected, only the second end 242 of the test signal line 24 needs to be plugged with the industrial control cabinet under test to realize electrical connection, and then the project instruction to be detected is input through the keyboard or touch screen of the control host 10, so that the automatic dotting test system can help the operator to complete the detection. Moreover, the operator does not need to copy the detection result after completing each detection, but can only operate the detection report file through the control host 10 when the detection result needs to be consulted.
