Fault Test Equipment of Launcher Control System Based on Embedded System

Abstract

The fault test equipment of mine launcher system is developed. This equipment is divided into two functional parts: master controller, an industrial processing computer and corresponding application software, which mainly engages in human-machine interactions, controlling the testing process, diagnosing the fault as well as display the output, and slave controller that performs data acquisition, signal conditioning, connection and transformation. Its hardware is composed of main control circuit with two complex programmable logic device (CPLD) chips, signal conditioning circuit, serial interface module and dedicated interface adapter unit. In addition, the application software of master controller is modular and object-oriented and developed by LabWIEW. The slave controller software is developed in VHDL that performs sampling and configuration of firing control and configuration signals. And the software consists of the five key modules: baud rate generator, enable module, pulse signal count module, data acquisition module of high level signals and communication module. Thus the equipment actually provides effective technical method in improving the repair and support skills for the mine launcher control system.
