Configurable simulator with a plurality of configurable modular cards

摘要

The present disclosure relates to a configurable simulator comprising at least one configuration component and a plurality of configurable modular cards. The configuration component determines configuration parameters of the cards and exchanges configuration messages with the cards. Each card comprises a configurable input/output unit comprising a plurality of configurable inputs and outputs, and a power supply comprising a plurality of configurable power supply circuits. The input/output unit exchanges configuration messages with the simulation controller. Each card further comprises a processor for configuring the plurality of inputs and outputs of the configurable input/output unit, and the plurality of power circuits of the power supply. The processor also executes a simulation code to implement a functionality of the simulator. The present disclosure also relates to a method for operating a configurable simulator comprising a plurality of configurable modular cards.

1. A configurable simulator, comprising:
at least one configuration component, comprising:
an input/output unit for:
receiving a broadcast message from a plurality of configurable modular cards, andsending a broadcast response message with configuration parameters to the plurality of configurable modular cards; anda processor for:
determining the configuration parameters of the plurality of configurable modular cards; the plurality of configurable modular cards, each card comprising:
a configurable input/output unit comprising a plurality of configurable inputs and outputs, the configurable input/output unit having a predefined output for sending the broadcast message and a predefined input for receiving the broadcast response message;a power supply comprising a plurality of configurable power supply circuits; andat least one processor for:
executing an input/output configuration code to configure the plurality of inputs and outputs of the configurable input/output unit based on the broadcast response message,executing a power supply configuration code to configure the plurality of power circuits of the power supply based on the broadcast response message, andexecuting a simulation code to implement a functionality of the simulator.
