  • Method of communication between distributed wire harness test units using wire under test
    Patent number: 10345355
    Abstract: There is described a method for communicating between distributed test units testing a wire harness. The method comprises connecting a first test unit and a second test unit to the wire harness to test, acting as a master and a slave, and either identifying a wire that is good to communicate or sending a test signal through a circuit comprising a wire of the wire harness from the first test unit to the second test unit to identify such a wire. Then the first test unit sends a communication signal through the circuit comprising the wire of the wire harness from any one of the first test unit and the second test unit to the other one.

  • Electronic identification slave connector
    Patent number: 9921263
    Abstract: The present document describes a connector for use with a harness under test by an automated test equipment (ATE). The harness is electrically connected to a reference. The connector comprises connection points having a layout, namely a connector layout, electronic identifiers and a switch. Each one of the electronic identifiers is connected to a respective one of the connection points. The switch is either for connecting the ATE to the reference via the electronic identifiers, either for connecting the ATE to the reference while bypassing the electronic identifiers.
