Abstract

This paper is the study of a design to eliminate the communication error that occurs between the main controller and the servo controller of the K56 ammunition-carrying armored vehicle. The K56 assists in the operation of the K-55A1 self-propelled gun by automating the supply and loading of ammunition. The CAN communication board of the ammunition carrier is a key-function product mounted inside the main controller and installed for communication with the servo controller. It was confirmed that an undefined error would occur intermittently in the existing CAN communication board, interrupting the operation of the ammunition supply system during the loading process. In this paper, in order to solve the problem, the cause of the failure is identified through analysis and a functional test of the communication signal between the main controller and the servo controller. The error was resolved by redesigning and improving the Read/Write algorithm. Finally, the proposed cause analysis and design effectiveness were verified through the CAN communication board single item test and a system equipment application test. It is expected that this study will serve as a reference for improving defense capabilities through improving the reliability of CAN communication boards and by improving the reliability of the overall electronic equipment using DPRAM.

본 논문은 K56 탄약운반장갑차의 주제어기와 서보제어기간의 통신에서 발생하는 통신오류를 개선하기 위한 설계에 관한 연구이다. K56 탄약운반장갑차는 K-55A1 자주포의 탄약 보급 및 적재를 자동화하여 운용을 보조하기 위한 장비이다. 탄약운반차의 캔통신보드는 주제어기의 내부에 탑재되어 서보제어기와의 통신을 위해 장착되는 핵심적인 기능품이다. 기존의 캔통신보드에서 정의되지 않은 오류가 간헐적으로 발생하는 문제점이 확인되었으며, 이로 인하여 탄적재 과정 중 탄약보급시스템 운용 중단 현상이 발생한 바가 있다. 본 논문은 발생된 문제를 해결하기 위하여 주제어기, 서보제어기간의 통신신호의 분석 및 기능시험을 통하여 고장 원인을 식별하였다. 또한 Read/Write 알고리즘 개선을 통한 재설계를 수행하여 오류 발생 현상을 해소하였다. 마지막으로, 제안된 원인 분석 및 설계의 유효성을 캔통신보드 단품 시험을 통하여 입증하였다. 이 연구가 캔통신보드의 신뢰성 향상을 통한 방위력 증진과 더불어, DPRAM을 이용하는 전자장치 전반의 신뢰성 향상에도 참고자료가 될 것으로 기대한다.
