Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of communication module testing, and in particular relates to an automatic testing fixture for communication modules. Background Technology
[0002] In power systems, wireless communication modules are crucial for devices such as fault indicators. Fault indicators need to monitor the status of distribution lines in real time, accurately identify faults such as short circuits and grounding faults, and promptly upload fault information to devices such as FTUs (Feeder Terminal Units) to achieve effective monitoring and management of distribution lines. The performance of the wireless communication module directly affects the normal operation of the fault indicator and the overall reliability of the power system.
[0003] For example, in long-distance external fault indicators, they need to work with FTUs to transmit detected fault signals to the monitoring center so that maintenance personnel can take timely measures. If the wireless communication module malfunctions, fault information may not be transmitted in a timely manner, affecting the normal operation of the power system and potentially even causing safety accidents.
[0004] Specifically, the shortcomings of existing GPRS module testing fixtures are as follows:
[0005] Functional limitations:
[0006] Traditional GPRS module testing fixtures have many functional limitations. Some fixtures can only provide simple power supply and basic communication testing functions, and are weak in complex protocol parsing and interaction capabilities. For example, when testing a GPRS module for a fault indicator, it cannot accurately simulate the 101 protocol communication capabilities of a relay station, making it difficult to comprehensively evaluate the module's performance in actual working scenarios.
[0007] Some tooling lacks the capability to accurately measure key indicators such as module power consumption. In power equipment, power consumption is a crucial parameter directly impacting operating efficiency and battery life. Existing tooling may not be able to accurately measure the power consumption of GPRS modules under different operating conditions, failing to meet the testing requirements for low-power designs.
[0008] Testing efficiency issues:
[0009] Existing tooling has low testing efficiency, making it difficult to meet the needs of mass production. During the production process, each tooling board provides a limited number of test interfaces, making it impossible to efficiently test multiple GPRS modules simultaneously. For example, some tooling can only test 1-2 modules at a time, leading to extended production cycles and increased costs.
[0010] The tooling is not highly automated during the testing process, requiring frequent manual intervention, such as manually setting parameters and changing modules. This can easily lead to human error and reduce the consistency and accuracy of the test.
[0011] Poor compatibility and scalability:
[0012] Different GPRS module models may differ in interfaces and protocols, but existing tooling has poor compatibility and is difficult to adapt to the testing requirements of various module models. This means that when testing different modules, it may be necessary to change the tooling or make complex adjustments, increasing testing costs and time.
[0013] The tooling lacks scalability in its design, making it difficult to expand its functionality as technology advances and products are upgraded. For example, when a GPRS module adds new functions or features, the existing tooling may not be able to support the corresponding tests in a timely manner, requiring redesign or modification of the tooling.
[0014] Lack of unified debugging procedures and standards:
[0015] The lack of unified debugging procedures and standards during the debugging process of GPRS modules leads to inconsistencies in the operating methods and processes used by different debugging personnel. This may affect the accuracy and reliability of the debugging results, increasing the uncertainty of product quality.
[0016] For example, in the visual inspection of modules, there are no clear standards specifying which defects are acceptable and which are unacceptable, which can easily lead to some potential problems being overlooked. During software configuration and testing, different debugging personnel may use different parameter settings and judgment criteria, making it difficult to guarantee product consistency.

[0063] In this embodiment, the switching power supply converts AC220V mains power to DC12V / 5A DC power to power the tooling board and GPRS module. The current must reach at least 5A to ensure stable power supply. Ideally, the mains power supplied to the switching power supply should be shared with the computer and serial server via a single power strip.
[0064] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the communication module includes three GPRS modules, which communicate with the main control module. The first GPRS module includes a chip N3 and capacitors C44, C45, resistor R12, C42, C43, C46, EC9, and terminal P6, all of which are connected to its pins.
[0065] The second GPRS module includes chip N1 and capacitors C3, C4, R4, C1, C2, C7, EC8, XS1 and XS2, all of which are connected to its pins. Terminal XS1 is also connected to resistor R1 and terminal XS2 is also connected to resistor R3.

[0067] In this embodiment, the communication module includes:
[0068] Communication with GPRS module: RS232 communication is achieved through the SPX3223EEY chip, transmitting the 101 protocol to complete data interaction with the GPRS module, including providing 101 protocol communication capability through the analog repeater station, and realizing functions such as initialization and general access.
[0069] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a serial port server is connected: the debugging interfaces of multiple GPRS modules are aggregated and connected to the serial port server, which facilitates the computer to receive and process data using software, thereby realizing data transmission between the tooling and the computer.
[0070] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the current sampling module includes four sampling sub-units, wherein the first sampling sub-unit includes an amplifier U1A and resistors R6, R7, R10 and R9, which are all connected to its pins.

[0074] In this embodiment, the current sampling module uses a 0.05R precision resistor to convert the current into voltage, which is then amplified by the AD8604 precision operational amplifier and connected to the ADC inside the MCU chip. This is used to measure the power supply current of the GPRS module to determine whether its power consumption is qualified. At the same time, it is necessary to ensure that the sampling resistor does not affect the normal use of the power supply.
[0075] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the GPRS test antenna is provided by the tooling. The antenna needs to be easy to replace and its base needs to be fixed to avoid burning out the repeater station or module due to the metal end of the antenna accidentally touching the power supply.
[0076] This fixture can solve the power supply problem for testing:
[0077] 1. Multiple power supply requirements: The fixture needs to provide a stable power supply for multiple GPRS modules at the same time. For example, the document requires that each fixture board can provide 12V power to 4 modules at the same time. After two boards are connected in parallel, they need to meet the requirements of 8 sets of equipment for simultaneous testing. This requires solving the power distribution and stability issues to ensure that each module can obtain sufficient and stable voltage and avoid affecting the module test results due to insufficient power supply or fluctuations.
[0078] 2. Power compatibility and safety: Ensure that the terminal specifications and wiring sequence of the power input are compatible with the relay station, and at the same time ensure the safety of the 220V mains power connection to prevent damage to the module or tooling itself due to power problems. For example, avoid power short circuits, overvoltage and other situations that may damage the equipment.
[0079] This tooling can solve the problem of test communication and interaction:
[0080] 1. Simulated forwarding station capability: It must be able to simulate a forwarding station to provide 101 protocol communication capabilities, including accurate parsing, initialization, and general routing functions. Furthermore, the modified forwarding station program must be able to adapt to the testing requirements of the tooling for multiple sets of equipment (e.g., 4 sets) at the same time, ensuring the accuracy and stability of communication, so as to comprehensively test the communication performance of the GPRS module in actual working scenarios.
[0081] 2. Communication and debugging interface processing: On the one hand, the communication interface of the tooling board must be compatible with the communication interfaces of the GPRS module and the relay station to ensure smooth data transmission; on the other hand, the debugging interfaces of multiple communication modules must be aggregated to the serial port server to facilitate the computer software to receive and process data, and realize the effective collection and monitoring of module debugging information.
[0082] This fixture can solve the problem of power consumption measurement and judgment:
[0083] 1. Precise measurement of module current: It can accurately measure the power supply current of the GPRS module. By using appropriate circuit design and components, such as using a 0.05R precision resistor to convert the current into voltage, amplifying it through an AD8604 precision operational amplifier, and then connecting it to the ADC inside the MCU, an accurate current value can be obtained, providing a reliable basis for power consumption calculation.
[0084] 2. Power Consumption Judgment and Display: The measured power consumption is displayed on the test fixture software, and the power consumption is accurately judged to be qualified according to the set standard. At the same time, the possible errors of different modules should be taken into account, and the accuracy of the judgment is improved by using the coefficient adjustment function. For example, the coefficients are adjusted for the error of the current sampling resistor of the 4-channel module itself and the resistor error of adjusting the operational amplifier amplification factor. The coefficients are written to the internal flash memory of the MCU through the interface software.
[0085] This tooling can solve the functional problems of tooling testing software:
[0086] 1. Simultaneous testing and information display of multiple devices: The tooling testing software should be able to test 8 sets of devices simultaneously and comprehensively display various information such as network access information, power consumption, signal strength, and IP port settings, so that testers can intuitively understand the working status of each module and quickly determine whether the module is working properly.
[0087] 2. Configuration and control functions: The software should have the function of importing configuration information tables and setting up information for 8 sets of devices at the same time. It should also be able to control each GPRS module individually, such as restarting the device and modifying communication parameters, to meet different testing needs and improve the flexibility and efficiency of testing.
[0088] This tooling can solve interface and connection problems:
[0089] 1. Display Interface Design: Design a suitable display interface, such as using high-brightness, long-life LEDs as indicator lights, and specifying their flashing frequency during normal operation (e.g., 1Hz). The indicator lights can intuitively display the operating status of the tooling and modules, making it convenient for testers to quickly observe the equipment status during the test.
[0090] 2. Terminal Blocks and Connection Stability: Ensure that the terminal block specifications and wiring sequence of the GPRS module are compatible with the repeater station, guarantee the stability of the connection, and prevent test interruption or data transmission errors due to loose connections during testing. At the same time, it should facilitate the plugging and unplugging of the module to improve testing efficiency.
[0091] It should be noted that this application only improves the structure of the testing fixture and does not improve the control program. The control program and electrical components involved are all existing technologies.
[0092] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
