The switch module is mainly responsible for individually controlling the on-off of each channel of the AC and DC power input to the power distribution control box. The discrete quantity acquisition module is mainly used for acquiring the 115V signal output by the power distribution control box. The ground acquisition module is mainly responsible for acquiring the "ground / ON" signal output by the power distribution control box.

[0058] When testing, the specified steps need to be followed. First, control the program-controlled DC power supply to output 28VDC after passing through the switch module to the control box, at which time the control box starts to work; control the program-controlled AC power supply to output 115V, and then open the corresponding channel of the switch module according to the process procedure to supply or cut off power to the specified pin of the control box, thereby simulating different AC power supply scenarios on the simulator; the switch module sends 28V control signals to the specified pin of the control box according to the verification procedure, and the control box can control the on-off of the power controller after receiving the control signals, thereby realizing the output and cut-off of 115V AC power; at this time, the discrete quantity acquisition module can acquire whether there is 115V voltage on the corresponding output pin of the control box to determine whether the control box successfully executes the corresponding action of the control signal; at the same time, the ground acquisition module can also synchronously acquire the "ground / ON" signal output by the control box to determine whether the feedback function of the control box is normal.

The switch module sends 28V control signals to the control box specified pin according to the verification procedure, and the control box can control the on / off of the power controller after receiving the control signal, thereby realizing the output and power-off of 28V DC. At this time, the discrete quantity acquisition module can collect whether there is 28V voltage on the corresponding output pin of the control box to determine whether the control box successfully executes the corresponding action of the control signal, that is, to realize the continuity test. At the same time, the discrete quantity acquisition module can also synchronously collect the "ground / open" signal output by the control box to determine whether the feedback function of the control box is normal.

The 28V signal that can control the action of the power distribution box on the machine. The switch module is mainly responsible for the on / off control of each channel of the 28V input to the power distribution box and the acquisition end of the insulation tester. The discrete quantity acquisition module is mainly used to collect the 28V signal and the "ground / open" signal output by the power distribution box.

[0064] When testing, the steps specified in the "deicing power distribution box verification process" should be followed. First, control the program-controlled DC power supply to output 28VDC through the switch module to the control box, which starts working at this time. Then, according to the process, open the corresponding channel of the switch module to supply / drain power to the control box specified pin, thereby simulating different DC power supply scenarios on the machine. The switch module sends 28V control signals to the control box specified pin according to the verification procedure, and the control box can control the on / off of the power controller after receiving the control signal, thereby realizing the output and power-off of 28V DC. At this time, the discrete quantity acquisition module can collect whether there is 28V voltage on the corresponding output pin of the control box to determine whether the control box successfully executes the corresponding action of the control signal, that is, to realize the continuity test. At the same time, the discrete quantity acquisition module can also synchronously collect the "ground / open" signal output by the control box to determine whether the feedback function of the control box is normal.
