[0026] Functional circuit module includes 2 burners and burns test program and production program respectively, test program is used for ICT test, production program is used for FCT test;
[0027] Parameter line is connected with computer, and different product parameter setting can be carried out;
[0028] Control module provides two kinds of starting mode, i.e. starting switch starting and potentiometer starting.
[0029] The ICT test circuit is used to perform ICT circuit testing on the controller; the FCT test circuit is used to perform functional testing on the controller.
[0030] like Figure 2 The test points of the controller product under test are shown, and the names of each test point on the PCB board are labeled. The probes of the probe fixture will connect to the power supply, motor phase lines, 15V voltage, and all signal test points according to the test point distribution. The signal test points include trigger, UART communication, programming, fan, Ctrl, digital, LCD screen, HALL, and parameter setting, totaling 9 types.
[0031] The controller's digital, LCD screen, hall, and fan circuits can be tested using ICT (In-Circuit Test) to check the voltage changes at their test points, thus confirming the functionality of the corresponding circuits. The principle is as follows: Figure 3 The diagram shows the schematic of the ICT testing principle. The controller's digital, LCD screen, and HALL test points are accessed by probes into the testing system. After the controller is programmed with the test program, the test will be conducted in two steps:
[0032] The first step involves pressing the ICT test button, which powers on the controller. The relays in the test system then connect the circuits at these test points to the negative terminal FS-1 test point of the controller fan. In ICT test mode, the digital, LCD screen, and HALL circuits are pulled up by default, and the microcontroller detects these circuits. A high-level circuit detection indicates that the circuit from the microcontroller to the test point is normal; otherwise, the corresponding circuit is faulty.
[0033] The second step involves the microcontroller controlling FS-1 to conduct to GND 3 seconds after power-on. If the microcontroller detects a low level for the digital, LCD screen, and HALL circuits, it indicates that the corresponding circuits at the test points are normal. If some test points are high, it indicates that the corresponding circuits are abnormal. If all test points are high, it indicates that the circuit corresponding to FS-1 is abnormal.
[0034] All test results are detected by the controller MCU and sent to the test system via UART. The test system then displays the corresponding results on the console screen.
[0035] Specifically, the control panel includes seven buttons and a display screen. The seven buttons are: Backup (currently unused), Programming 1, Test 1, Programming 2, Parameter Setting, Test 2, and Discharge. All testing functions can be performed using these buttons. Except for the Discharge button, all buttons are self-locking and illuminated; pressing them closes the button and the indicator light illuminates to indicate that the device is in operation. Pressing them again turns off the light and unlocks the button.
[0036] Burn 1 is executed as controller burn ICT test program, test 1 is executed ICT test. Burn 2 is executed as controller burn production program, set parameter is executed production parameter setting, test 2 is executed FCT test, discharge key is pressed to discharge the controller which completes test 2 step, clear the controller charge, ensure safety.
[0037] The working principle of the test system for implementing ICT and FCT is as follows:
[0038] The complete test operation is divided into 5 steps, ICT program burn, ICT test, production program burn, production parameter setting, FCT test;
[0039] First, the measured controller product is installed on the probe fixture, the probe in the fixture will press the test points of the controller PCBA board, so that the measured circuit of the measured controller product is connected to the test system.
[0040] First step, ICT program burn. Burn probe contacts controller burn test point, from burn circuit through switch can connect burner I and burner II. Burner I can burn ICT test program, burner II can burn production program. Press burn 1 on the operation table, ICT test program is burned into the controller, after burn is completed, there will be a prompt sound. Press burn 1 again, burn is over;
[0041] Second step, ICT test. The digital, LCD screen, HALL test points of the controller are connected to the test system through the probe.
[0042] After pressing the test 1 button on the operation table, the controller is powered on, and the relays of the test system connect the lines of these test points with the negative FS-1 test point of the controller fan. In ICT test mode, the digital, LCD screen, HALL circuit is pulled up by default, and the single-chip microcomputer detects the digital, LCD screen, HALL circuit. If the circuit detection is high level, it means that the single-chip microcomputer to test point line is normal, otherwise the corresponding circuit is abnormal.
[0043] After the single-chip microcomputer of the controller is powered on for 3s, it controls FS-1 to be conductive with GND. If the single-chip microcomputer detects that the digital, LCD screen, HALL circuit is low level, it means that the line corresponding to the test point is normal. If some test points are high level, it means that the corresponding line is abnormal. If all test points are high level, it means that the FS-1 corresponding line is abnormal.
[0044] All test results are detected by the controller MCU, and the test results are sent to the test system through UART, and the corresponding results are displayed on the operation table display screen. After test is completed, press test 1 button, test is over;
[0045] Third, the mass production program is burned. Press the operation station to burn 2, the mass production program is burned into the controller, and after the burning is completed, a prompt sound will be heard.
[0046] Press the burning 2 again, and the burning is completed.
[0047] Fourth, the mass production parameter is set. Press the operation station to set the parameter, and the computer upper machine is used to set the mass production parameter of the controller. Press the parameter setting key again, and the parameter setting is completed.
[0048] Fifth, FCT test. Press the operation station test 2, and the controller is connected with the power supply and the motor. There are start switches and potentiometers on the board, which correspond to two starting modes respectively.
[0049] The first one is the switch starting mode. First, press the power-on button, the controller is powered on, and the power supply indicator light and the three gear indicator light are lit. Then press the start button, the motor rotates, press the gear button, the gear indicator light switches between 1, 2 and 3 gears in turn, and the rotating speed changes accordingly. The rotating speed is the slowest at 1 gear and the fastest at 3 gear. If there is no action for more than 1 minute, the power will be automatically turned off. The time can be configured by parameter setting.
[0050] The second one is the potentiometer starting mode. First, press the potentiometer, and the motor can rotate. The depth of pressing the potentiometer is proportional to the rotating speed of the motor.
[0051] According to the selection of the mass production product, the corresponding starting mode is selected, the motor rotates normally, the fan light is lit, the rotating speed is adjustable, the shutdown is accurate, and the FCT test is passed. Press the test 2 key again, and the FCT test is completed.
[0052] Press the discharge button to discharge the capacitor of the controller, and then take down the controller.
