[0032] Example:
[0033] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, an automated test system for reliability testing of fault simulation circuits includes: an NGI programming power supply for powering the entire circuit; a PC configured to acquire one or more test commands and generate corresponding analog test signals; hardware interface boards and an integrated chassis for the VT System, wherein the hardware interface boards of the VT System include VT7001, VT2820 and VN1640; the VT7001 implements three outputs through script control to simulate automotive KL30, KL15 and GND to power the DUT.
[0034] Among them, VT2820 controls the on / off state of KL30 and short-circuit it to power and ground via scripts; controls the on / off state of KL15 and short-circuit it to power and ground; and controls the on / off state of ground and short-circuit it to power and ground. VN1640 is a CAN network interface module, which provides 4 CAN network interfaces, connects to the CAN interface of the object under test, simulates the CAN network signals required by the object under test, and simultaneously collects the CAN network signals output by the object under test.
[0035] KL30 controls the K1 switch through the CAPL script to open and close channel 1_a and channel 1_b, thus turning KL30 on and off. The time increment can be 0.000001 (1µs) to 0.065 (65 ms), which can be used to simulate the rapid on and off of KL30 and simulate extreme working conditions.
[0036] KL30 controls the K2 switch via CAPL scripts to open and close channel 1_a and busbar a, achieve short circuit between KL30 and power supply and exit short circuit; simulate KL30 hardware faults, enabling convenient and rapid detection and shortening detection time.
[0037] The KL30 uses a CAPL script to control the K3 switch, enabling the opening and closing of channel 1_a and busbar b, and facilitating short circuits between the KL30 and ground, as well as short circuit exit. This allows for the simulation of KL30 hardware faults, facilitating convenient and rapid detection and reducing testing time.
[0038] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, KL15 controls switch K4 via CAPL script to open and close channel 2_a and channel 2_b, thus enabling KL15 to switch on and off. The time increment can be 0.000001 (1µs) to 0.065 (65 ms), which can be used to simulate the rapid switching of KL15 and simulate extreme working conditions.
[0039] KL15 controls the K5 switch via CAPL scripts to open and close channel 2_a and busbar a, achieve short circuit between KL15 and power supply, and exit short circuit; it also simulates KL15 hardware faults, enabling convenient and rapid detection and shortening detection time.
[0040] The KL15 uses a CAPL script to control the K6 switch, opening and closing channel 2_a and busbar b, and achieving short circuits between the KL15 and ground, as well as de-short circuit removal. This simulates KL15 hardware faults, enabling convenient and rapid detection and reducing testing time.
[0041] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, GND controls switch K7 via CAPL script to open and close channel 3_a and channel 3_b, thus enabling GND to switch on and off. The time increment can be 0.000001 (1µs) to 0.065 (65 ms), which can be used to simulate rapid switching of GND and simulate extreme operating conditions.
[0042] GND controls the K8 switch via CAPL script to open and close channel 3_a and busbar a, achieve short circuit between GND and power supply and exit short circuit; simulate GND hardware faults, enabling convenient and rapid detection and shortening detection time.
[0043] GND uses a CAPL script to control the K9 switch, opening and closing channel 3_a and busbar b, achieving short circuit between GND and ground, and reversing the short circuit. This simulates GND hardware faults, enabling convenient and rapid detection and shortening detection time.
[0044] The VN1640 network interface module connects to the object under test via a CAN interface signal adapter box.
[0045] In summary, the VT7001's script control enables three-channel output to simulate automotive KL30, KL15, and GND, thus providing power to the DUT, reducing personnel testing time and improving testing efficiency.
