[ detailed description ] embodiments

In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present application more apparent and understandable, the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the embodiments of the present application and the corresponding drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. It should be understood that the embodiments of the present application described below are only for explaining the present application and are not intended to limit the present application, that is, all other embodiments obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art without making creative efforts based on the embodiments of the present application belong to the protection scope of the present application. In addition, the technical features involved in the embodiments of the present application described below may be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

In the related art, in order to ensure the normal use of the communication managers, each communication manager needs to be tested before leaving the factory, specifically, the corresponding functions of each communication interface of the communication manager are tested in a manual mode, and only one communication manager can be tested by one tester at a time. The testing method cannot automatically realize simultaneous testing of a plurality of communication managers, and testers cannot leave a testing field during testing, so that the testing efficiency of the communication managers is low, and the labor cost is high. Therefore, the embodiment of the application provides a communication manager test device.

Referring to fig. 1, fig. 1 is a first block diagram of a testing apparatus of a communication manager according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As can be seen from fig. 1, the communication manager test apparatus provided in the embodiment of the present application is used for testing a communication manager 400, where the communication manager 400 has a plurality of first communication interfaces 410; the communication manager test device comprises a control terminal 100, a switch 200 and a test device 300; the control terminal 100 is communicatively connected to the switch 200, the switch 200 is communicatively connected to the testing device 300 and the communication manager 400, the testing device 300 has a plurality of second communication interfaces 310, the plurality of second communication interfaces 310 correspond to the plurality of first communication interfaces 410, and the testing device 300 is communicatively connected to the communication manager 400 through the second communication interfaces 310 and the corresponding first communication interfaces 410. Here, it is necessary to explain that the communication connection between the control terminal 100, the switch 200, and the test apparatus 300 may be in the form of ethernet.

Specifically, the control terminal 100 is configured to transmit a test command to the test apparatus 300 through the switch 200; the testing apparatus 300 is configured to perform two-pair testing on the second communication interface 310 and the corresponding first communication interface 410 according to the testing command to obtain a testing result, and transmit the testing result to the control terminal 100. Or, the control terminal 100 is configured to transmit the test command to the communication manager 400 through the switch 200; the communication manager 400 is configured to perform two pairs of tests on the first communication interface 410 and the corresponding second communication interface 310 according to the test command to obtain a test result, and transmit the test result to the control terminal 100. In addition, the test program and related programs inside the communication manager 400 may also be downloaded, upgraded, and updated through the control terminal 100.

In the embodiment of the present application, the switch 200 plays a role of data interaction, and is mainly used for implementing data interaction between different IP (Internet Protocol) network segments. The control terminal 100, the test device 300 and the communication manager 400 are respectively connected with the switch 200 through ethernet interfaces, so as to realize data interaction between the control terminal 100 and the test device 300 and data interaction between the control terminal 100 and the communication manager 400, thereby reducing the number of interfaces of the control terminal 100. Based on this, the control terminal 100, the switch 200, the test apparatus 300, and the communication manager 400 need to have at least one ethernet interface.

In the embodiment of the present application, the communication manager 400 may include one or more than one; in each communication manager 400, the same type of first communication interface 410 may include one or more; in the testing apparatus 300, the same type of second communication interface 310 may include one or more; when any one of the communication managers 400 is communicatively connected to the testing device 300, the first communication interface 410 of the communication manager 400 and the corresponding second communication interface 310 of the testing device 300 need to have a correspondence relationship in terms of type. In addition, the aforementioned descriptions of the "plurality of second communication interfaces 310 corresponding to the plurality of first communication interfaces 410" can be understood as follows: assuming that the first communication interface 410 includes 3 types, i.e., an a-type first interface, a b-type first interface, and a c-type first interface, the second communication interface 310 also includes 3 types, i.e., an a-type second interface, a b-type second interface, and a c-type second interface. For this example, when a certain communication manager 400 is communicatively connected to the test apparatus 300, the interface connected to the a-type first interface is the a-type second interface, the interface connected to the b-type first interface is the b-type second interface, and the interface connected to the c-type first interface is the c-type second interface.

It should be noted that, when a communication manager 400 is communicatively connected to the testing apparatus 300, not all of the first communication interfaces 410 are correspondingly connected to all of the second communication interfaces 310; following the example given in the previous paragraph, when a communication manager 400 is communicatively connected to the testing device 300, only the a-type first interface may be correspondingly connected to the a-type second interface, only the b-type first interface may be correspondingly connected to the b-type second interface, or only the c-type first interface may be correspondingly connected to the c-type second interface; the first type a interface and the first type b interface can be correspondingly connected with the second type a interface and the second type b interface, or the first type b interface and the first type c interface can be correspondingly connected with the second type b interface and the second type c interface, or the first type a interface and the first type c interface can be correspondingly connected with the second type a interface and the second type c interface.

As can be seen from the above, the communication manager test equipment provided in the embodiment of the present application is actually used for testing at least one communication manager 400, and each communication manager 400 is communicatively connected to the test apparatus 300 through at least one first communication interface 410 and a corresponding second communication interface 310. Still following the example given above, assuming that the communication managers 400 include two communication managers 400, in practical applications, the a-type first interface and the b-type first interface of one of the communication managers 400 may be correspondingly connected to the a-type second interface and the b-type second interface of the testing apparatus 300, and the a-type first interface and the c-type first interface of the other communication manager 400 may be correspondingly connected to the a-type second interface and the c-type second interface of the testing apparatus 300, so as to implement the communication connection between the two communication managers 400 and the testing apparatus 300; since the a-type first interface is needed to be used when the two communication managers 400 are in communication connection with the testing apparatus 300, the testing apparatus 300 needs to provide two a-type second interfaces to form a connection relationship with the a-type first interfaces of the two communication managers 400, which means that the number of the same second communication interfaces 310 in the testing apparatus 300 is actually positively correlated with the number of the communication managers 400 and the number of the corresponding first communication interfaces 410 in each communication manager 400.

It should be understood that, in the embodiment of the present application, the type of the first communication interface 410, the type of the second communication interface 310, the number of each first communication interface 410 and the number of each second communication interface 310, and the type and the number of the first communication interface 410 and the second communication interface 310 used when the communication manager 400 is in communication connection with the testing device 300 are not limited uniquely; in this regard, a person skilled in the art can flexibly set the setting according to the actual application scenario on the basis of the embodiment of the present application.

In the embodiment of the present application, the control terminal 100, the switch 200, and the testing apparatus 300 having the plurality of second communication interfaces 310 form a testing device of the communication manager; the control terminal 100 is communicatively connected to the switch 200, the switch 200 is communicatively connected to the testing device 300 and the communication managers 400, the plurality of second communication interfaces 310 of the testing device 300 correspond to the plurality of first communication interfaces 410 of the communication managers 400, and each communication manager 400 is communicatively connected to the testing device 300 through at least one first communication interface 410 and the corresponding second communication interface 310. Based on this, when at least one communication manager 400 needs to be tested, the control terminal 100 transmits a test command to the test apparatus 300 through the switch 200, and the test apparatus 300 performs two pairs of tests on the second communication interface 310 and the corresponding first communication interface 410 according to the test command to obtain a test result, and transmits the test result to the control terminal 100; or, the control terminal 100 transmits the test command to the communication manager 400 through the switch 200, and the communication manager 400 performs two pairs of tests on the first communication interface 410 and the corresponding second communication interface 310 according to the test command to obtain a test result, and transmits the test result to the control terminal 100; it is understood that the first communication interface 410 for performing two pairs of tests is located at each communication manager 400, and the second communication interface 310 for performing two pairs of tests is located at the testing apparatus 300. Therefore, in the embodiment of the present application, through the test equipment of the communication managers, which is composed of the control terminal 100, the switch 200 and the test device 300, simultaneous and automatic testing of a plurality of communication managers 400 is realized, and a tester does not need to stay in a test site, so that the test efficiency of the communication managers 400 during testing is effectively improved, and the labor cost is greatly reduced.

For one embodiment, the first communication interface 410 may include a first combination interface, and the second communication interface 310 may include a second combination interface; the first combined interface and the second combined interface both have a plurality of interface modes, and the plurality of interface modes can include but are not limited to at least two of an RS485 interface mode, an RS422 interface mode and an RS232 interface mode; at this time, each of the communication managers 400 is communicatively connected to the testing device 300 through at least one first combined interface and a corresponding second combined interface. Here, it should be noted that, when in the RS485 interface mode, the first combined interface and the second combined interface both communicate through the RS485 serial port; when the first combined interface and the second combined interface are in the RS422 interface mode, the first combined interface and the second combined interface are communicated through the RS422 serial port; when the device is in the RS232 interface mode, the first combined interface and the second combined interface are communicated through the RS232 serial port.

For this embodiment, the control terminal 100 may be configured to transmit a switch command to the test apparatus 300 through the switch 200; the testing apparatus 300 may be configured to switch the interface mode of the second combined interface to be suitable for the corresponding first combined interface according to the switching command, obtain a switching result, and transmit the switching result to the control terminal 100; the control terminal 100 may be further configured to transmit a test command to the communication manager 400 through the switch 200 when the switching result is that the switching is successful; the communication manager 400 may be configured to trigger the first combination interface to transmit test data to the corresponding second combination interface according to the test command, receive feedback data returned by the second combination interface, obtain a test result according to the feedback data, and transmit the test result to the control terminal 100. When the test data transmitted by the first combination interface to the corresponding second combination interface is the same as the feedback data returned by the second combination interface, it is characterized that the communication function between the first combination interface and the corresponding second combination interface is normal, that is, the communication manager 400 obtains the test result according to the feedback data that the communication function between the first combination interface and the corresponding second combination interface is normal.

For one embodiment, the first communication interface 410 may include a first WiFi interface and the second communication interface 310 may correspondingly include a second WiFi interface. At this time, each communication manager 400 is wirelessly connected to the testing device 300 through at least one first WiFi interface and a corresponding second WiFi interface.

For this embodiment, when the control terminal 100 transmits the test command to the communication manager 400 through the switch 200, the communication manager 400 may be configured to trigger the first WiFi interface to transmit the test data to the corresponding second WiFi interface according to the test command, receive the feedback data returned by the second WiFi interface, obtain the test result according to the feedback data, and transmit the test result to the control terminal 100. Similarly, when the test data transmitted by the first WiFi interface to the corresponding second WiFi interface is the same as the feedback data returned by the second WiFi interface, it represents that the communication function between the first WiFi interface and the corresponding second WiFi interface is normal, that is, the communication manager 400 obtains the test result according to the feedback data that the communication function between the first WiFi interface and the corresponding second WiFi interface is normal.

For one embodiment, the first communication interface 410 may include a first CAN interface and the second communication interface 310 may correspondingly include a second CAN interface. At this time, each of the communication managers 400 is communicatively connected to the test device 300 through at least one first CAN interface and a corresponding second CAN interface.

For this embodiment, when the control terminal 100 transmits a test command to the test apparatus 300 through the switch 200, the test apparatus 300 may be configured to trigger the second CAN interface to transmit test data to the corresponding first CAN interface according to the test command, receive feedback data returned by the first CAN interface, obtain a test result according to the feedback data, and transmit the test result to the control terminal 100. Similarly, when the test data transmitted by the second CAN interface to the corresponding first CAN interface is the same as the feedback data returned by the first CAN interface, it represents that the communication function between the second CAN interface and the corresponding first CAN interface is normal, that is, the test result obtained by the test device 300 according to the feedback data is that the communication function between the second CAN interface and the corresponding first CAN interface is normal.

It should be understood that the above-mentioned embodiments are only preferred implementations of the present application, and are not the only limitations of the present application on the specific applications of the first communication interface 410 and the second communication interface 310, and the specific ways of two pairs of measurements between the first communication interface 410 and the corresponding second communication interface 310; in this regard, a person skilled in the art can flexibly set the setting according to the actual application scenario on the basis of the embodiment of the present application. In addition, after receiving the test result, the control terminal 100 may store the received test result for the tester to check and analyze at any time.

In some embodiments, please further refer to fig. 2, wherein fig. 2 is a second block diagram of a testing apparatus of a communication manager according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As can be seen from fig. 2, the testing apparatus for a communication manager provided in the embodiment of the present application may further include a switch device 500; wherein the switch gear 500 has at least one relay 510, the switch gear 500 is communicatively coupled to the switch 200 and to the communication manager 400 via the relay 510. At this time, the switch 200 is used not only to implement data interaction between the control terminal 100 and the test device 300, and data interaction between the control terminal 100 and the communication manager 400, but also to implement data interaction between the control terminal 100 and the switching device 500.

For this embodiment, the relay 510 may include one or more. Specifically, the number of relays 510 depends on the number of communication managers 400, i.e., the number of relays 510 is the same as the number of communication managers 400, or each communication manager 400 is communicatively connected to the switching device 500 through one relay 510.

For this embodiment, the control terminal 100 may be configured to transmit a power-on command to the switching device 500 through the switch 200 before transmitting a test command to the test device 300 or the communication manager 400 through the switch 200; the switch device 500 may be used to trigger the relay 510 to power up the power source of the corresponding communication manager 400 according to the power-up command. And, the control terminal 100 may be further configured to transmit a power-off command to the switching device 500 through the switch 200 after receiving the test result; the switch device 500 can also be used to trigger the relay 510 to power down the power supply of the corresponding communication manager 400 according to the power-down command. It can be understood that, when testing the communication manager 400, the power supply of the communication manager 400 needs to be powered on through the switch device 500, so as to ensure the smooth performance of the test; when the test of the communication manager 400 is completed, the power of the communication manager 400 needs to be cut off through the switching device 500, so that unnecessary power consumption can be avoided.

Here, it should be noted that, when the communication managers 400 and the relays 510 include a plurality of relays, the switch device 500 may trigger one relay 510 to power on/off the power supply of the corresponding communication manager 400 according to the power-on/power-off command, and a preset time period, for example, 5s, may be set between when the switch device 500 triggers the next relay 510 to power on/off the power supply of the corresponding communication manager 400 according to the power-on/power-off command, so as to avoid a test process disorder caused when the switch device 500 simultaneously triggers the plurality of relays 510 to power on/off the power supplies of the corresponding communication managers 400 according to the power-on/power-off command, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the test result.

Referring to fig. 3, fig. 3 is a first flowchart illustrating a testing method of a testing apparatus of a communication manager according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

And step 302, the testing device performs two pairs of tests on the second communication interface and the corresponding first communication interface according to the test command to obtain a test result, and transmits the test result to the control terminal.

In the embodiment of the present invention, after the test device 300 receives the test command, two pairs of tests are performed on the second communication interface 310 and the corresponding first communication interface 410 according to the test command to obtain a test result, and the test result is transmitted to the control terminal 100. Optionally, after receiving the test result, the control terminal 100 stores the received test result, so that the tester can check and analyze the test result at any time.

For one embodiment, when the first communication interface 410 includes a first CAN interface and the second communication interface 310 includes a second CAN interface, step 302 may include: the testing device 300 triggers the second CAN interface to transmit the test data to the corresponding first CAN interface according to the test command, receives the feedback data returned by the first CAN interface, obtains the test result according to the feedback data, and transmits the test result to the control terminal 100.

For this embodiment, when the test data transmitted by the second CAN interface to the corresponding first CAN interface is the same as the feedback data returned by the first CAN interface, it represents that the communication function between the second CAN interface and the corresponding first CAN interface is normal, that is, the test result obtained by the test apparatus 300 according to the feedback data is that the communication function between the second CAN interface and the corresponding first CAN interface is normal.

It should be understood that the foregoing embodiment is only a preferred implementation of the present application, and is not the only limitation of the present application to the specific implementation of the first communication interface 410 and the second communication interface 310 and the specific flow of step 302; in this regard, a person skilled in the art can flexibly set the setting according to the actual application scenario on the basis of the embodiment of the present application.

In some embodiments, when the testing apparatus for a communications manager provided by the embodiment of the present application includes the switch device 500, step 301 may further include: the control terminal 100 transmits a power-on command to the switching device 500 through the switch 200; the switching device 500 triggers the relay 510 to power up the power source of the corresponding communication manager 400 according to the power-up command. Step 302 may also be followed by: the control terminal 100 transmits a power-off command to the switching device 500 through the switch 200; the switching device 500 triggers the relay 510 to cut off the power of the corresponding communication manager 400 according to the power-off command.

For this embodiment, when testing the communication manager 400, the power supply of the communication manager 400 needs to be powered up through the switch device 500, so as to ensure the smooth performance of the test; when the test of the communication manager 400 is completed, the power of the communication manager 400 needs to be cut off through the switching device 500, so that unnecessary power consumption can be avoided.

Referring to fig. 4, fig. 4 is a second flowchart illustrating a testing method of a testing apparatus of a communication manager according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

As shown in fig. 4, an embodiment of the present application further provides another testing method for a testing device of a communication manager, which is also applied to the testing device of the communication manager provided in the embodiment of the present application; the test method of the communication manager test equipment comprises the following steps 401 to 402.

In the embodiment of the present application, when the communication manager 400 needs to be tested, the control terminal 100 first transmits a test command to the communication manager 400 through the switch 200.

And step 402, the communication manager performs two pairs of tests on the first communication interface and the corresponding second communication interface according to the test command to obtain a test result, and transmits the test result to the control terminal.

In the embodiment of the present application, after receiving the test command, the communication manager 400 performs two pairs of tests on the first communication interface 410 and the corresponding second communication interface 310 according to the test command to obtain a test result, and transmits the test result to the control terminal 100. Optionally, after receiving the test result, the control terminal 100 stores the received test result, so that the tester can check and analyze the test result at any time.
