Description

Avionics testing equipment management and control system based on OPC UA protocol gateway
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of avionics product testing, and relates to an avionics testing equipment management and control system based on an OPC UA protocol gateway.
Background
The avionics testing equipment is specialized industrial equipment for scientific research, production, maintenance, test and diagnosis of avionics products. In recent years, in order to adapt to the continuous growth of the types and delivery amounts of avionics products, the architecture of avionics equipment gradually develops to the direction of generalization and flexibility, so that the rapid construction of the equipment is realized through universal framework, resource and flexibility adaptation, and the expansion capability of the equipment is improved. The modular design is the best mode of the universal and flexible concept landing, and through the modular design, the equipment can select hardware resources capable of meeting testing conditions according to specific testing requirements under a unified framework, so that the design, development and upgrading iteration of the equipment are more convenient and flexible.
In general, the modularized avionics testing equipment mainly comprises a main control module, a simulation excitation and monitoring module, a universal interface module and a power supply module, and as shown in fig. 1, the modules can be selected and combined based on product configuration so as to meet testing requirements of different products. The main control module provides a management computer, runs test software and provides a display for displaying a test function interaction interface; the simulation excitation and monitoring module provides at least one industrial personal computer, can be used for plugging various signal simulation excitation and monitoring board card resources based on the use requirement, simultaneously operates the testing middleware, receives the testing instruction of the main control module, and completes data receiving and transmitting operation; the universal interface module gathers the test interface resources of the simulation excitation and monitoring module through the interface gathering component and connects the tested product through the interface adapter, so as to realize the universal access and test of the product; the power supply module is mainly used for providing power supply for the tested product. The modularization of the test equipment improves the efficiency of equipment development and reduces the difficulty of equipment operation and maintenance, however, because of a distributed deployment mode, the running state of the test equipment is difficult to establish centralized effective acquisition and monitoring measures, and the difficulty is brought to the guarantee of the stability and the reliability of the test equipment. For example, a tester cannot directly obtain the load of the simulation excitation and monitoring module and the state information of each functional board card through the main control computer at present, so that the state of equipment cannot be accurately judged before the test activity starts, and the scientific research production activity is affected. Meanwhile, most of the main functional modules of the mature avionics testing equipment in the aviation industry are outsourcing commercial goods shelf products, and due to the fact that brands are more and industry interface standards are lacking, the modules of the same type cannot provide a unified form of management and control interface. Other non-shelf standard modules do not even provide a management interface, and such modules typically do not have remote management capabilities. Therefore, most of the avionics test equipment applied in the aviation industry at present lacks more or less self-health management capability, and a standardized interface is formed towards the core components of the avionics test equipment, so that an integrated management mode of the modularized test equipment is advanced.
In addition, a plurality of avionics test devices still adopt an offline working mode at present, and the state of the test devices and the test result data cannot be transmitted to an information system through a network. In order to improve the quality control capability of avionics products, integration of test equipment in an avionics automation production line is of great importance, so that the avionics test equipment is required to be connected into other management and control information platforms such as MES (manufacturing execution system) and the like through industrial interconnection protocols conforming to the industrial 4.0 standard, such as OPC UA (optical control and UA) protocol and the like, and a data acquisition interface meeting the production line management requirement is provided.
