Abstract

A system for communicating hose test information using a test results transfer protocol (TRTP) is disclosed. The system also includes a network interface. The system also includes a memory storage. The system also includes one or more processors configured to: initialize a plurality of status words according to the TRTP, generate a payload array configuration having a number of payloads in a payload array and a number of registers, generate the payload array having hose test result information according to the TRTP, and provide the generated payload array to the network interface for transmission.

Claims (34)

1. A system for communicating hose test information using a test results transfer protocol (TRTP), the system comprising:

a network interface;

a memory storage; and

one or more processors configured to:

initialize a plurality of status words according to the TRTP;

generate a payload array configuration having a number of payloads in a payload array and a number of registers;

generate the payload array having hose test result information according to the TRTP;

the payloads each comprise a payload time stamp, air pressure feedback, air pressure control and one or more payload status words of the plurality of status words; and

provide the generated payload array to the network interface for transmission.

2. The system of claim 1 , the hose test result information comprising a time stamp.

3. The system of claim 1 , the hose test result information comprising a plurality of sensor measurements.

4. The system of claim 1 , the hose test result information comprising a plurality of pressure measurements.

5. The system of claim 1 , the hose test result information comprising air pressure control information.

6. The system of claim 1 , the hose test result information comprising air pressure feedback.

7. The system of claim 1 , the one or more processors configured to:

receive a payload array from the network interface;

store the received array into a receive buffer;

filter the received array;

combine the filtered array with a global list;

generate test progress; and

provide the test progress to a display interface.

8. The system of claim 1 , the hose test result information having test settings comprising one or more of key pressure points, timing information, and test type.

9. The system of claim 1 , the host test result information having machine settings comprising one or more of pump system identification, pump, transducer and converter properties.

10. The system of claim 1 , the TRTP comprising count to unit conversion coefficients.

11. The system of claim 1 , the TRTP comprising tare pressure and calibration coefficients.

12. The system of claim 1 , the hose information comprising model, fittings, diameter and length.

13. The system of claim 1 , the hose test result information having vendor and customer information comprising one or more of part numbers, work order, purchase order number, vendor and customer.

14. The system of claim 1 , the hose test result information having serial and lot information.

15. The system of claim 1 , the one or more processors configured to load/transfer/exchange tests and test data into other test machines or software programs.

16. The system of claim 1 , the hose test result information having vendor specific messaging formats.

17. The system of claim 1 , the hose test result information having machine specific messaging formats.

18. The system of claim 1 , the hose test result information having vendor data interchange formats.

19. The system of claim 1 , the one or more processers comprised in a programmable logic controller (PLC) industrial computer.

20. The system of claim 1 , further comprising a network storage and a plurality of nodes.
