Abstract

This paper discusses a distributed cable harness tester based on CAN bus, which has a few functions such as connection detecting of a wire, diode orientation testing and resistor´s impedance testing. In this article, application layer protocal design is researched on in particular in order to improve the tester´s performance, and the software design of upper computer and the framework of handware of tester nodes are introduced in details. The tester is designed to ensure quality and reliability of cable harness. Through detecting , early failure products such as breakage circuit, short circuit and wrong conductor arrangement can be rejected. So it improves the efficiency of detection.
