ABSTRACT
An automatic online temperature measurement device on the Modular Artillery Charge System (MACS) is designed and developed, based on Controller Area Network (CAN) bus technology in this study. For measuring automatically the temperature of the modular charge, a non-contact measurement method is proposed. The primary idea of this method is to obtain the real-time value of the modular charge temperature through solving the unsteady heat transfer equations describing the variation in the modular charge temperature. As a part of the online temperature measurement device, an Initial Charge Temperature Sensor (ICTS) is also developed according to the similarity principle. This device can accurately measure the temperature field and real-time average temperature of the modular charge for all charge zones placed in a combat vehicle and simultaneously transfer the temperature information to the gunner task terminal computer through CAN bus interface for trajectory calculation and firing data correction, ensuring the weapon system meets the requirements of digitalization and informatization.
