Research on Embedded Computer Techniques Used in Agricultural Equipments ATS

Abstract:

VXI or PXI modules based on embedded computers are playing a significant role in test systems for both agricultural and commercial applications. In an Agricultural equipments remote diagnosis and Maintenance ATS (automatic test system), we applied ARM based VXI modules to developing an equipment called Portable Maintenance Aid Equipments (PMAE) as well as an Ethernet-based measurement system which solved a sticking point of this large-scale ATS. The main testing system is designed as a large-scale integrated test system that will perform automatic test for faulty LRUs (Local Replaceable Unit), and faults will be isolated to SRUs (Shop Replaceable Unit). PMAEs could cooperate with the main testing system in realizing remote measurement and control through virtual instrument (VI) technology, thus the localization veracity of faulty LRUs and cables could be greatly improved. ARM based embedded system was used to realize 0-slot controller as well as some dedicated test modules. It could offer maximum performance and the most compact size because they are installed directly into the VXI mainframe. Test results indicated good performance of this scheme, thereby greatly augmenting diagnostic capacity and efficiency of the Agricultural equipments remote diagnosis and Maintenance ATS.
