Systems and methods for built in test equipment for a brake control system
A method is disclosed that comprises severing an I/O channel between a brake system controller and an aircraft component; sending a test signal to the brake system controller; receiving, from the brake system controller, a feedback signal to the test signal; and determining an appropriateness of the feedback signal. A system is disclosed that comprises a brake system controller wrapped in a BITE region, wherein the BITE region comprises a testing module, a safety interlock region having an I/O channel between the brake system controller and another system, and a testing module capable of sending a test signal to the brake system controller.
1. A method comprising:
establishing a safety interlock between a brake system controller and an aircraft component;
severing an I/O channel between the brake system controller and the aircraft component;
sending a test signal to the brake system controller;
receiving, from the brake system controller, a feedback signal to the test signal; and
determining an appropriateness of the feedback signal.
2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising reestablishing the I/O channel.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the feedback signal relates to a least one of an electromechanical actuator, an electromechanical actuator controller, and a servo.
4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising sending a command signal from the brake system controller through the safety interlock to the aircraft component.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the test signal commands an actuator to actuate.
6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising generating a test script comprising test signals with a testing module.
