Computing device and method for detecting defective hardware of image measurement machine

A computing device for detecting defective hardware of an image measurement machine, the computing device comprising:

• at least one processor;
• a storage system;
• and
• one or more modules that are stored in the storage system and executed by the at least one processor, the one or more modules comprising:
• a creation module that creates a hardware-recording table that records abnormalities occurred in hardware components of the image measurement machine, each of the abnormalities corresponding to a serial number, a name of the hardware component having the abnormality, and one or more solutions for solving the abnormality of the hardware component;
• a first detection module that detects device connecting faults of the image measurement machine by detecting whether all hardware control cards of the image measurement machine connect to the computing device, each of the hardware control cards connecting to one or more hardware components;
• a second detection module that detects port connecting faults of the image measurement machine by detecting whether serial ports connected to each of the hardware control cards match preset serial ports;
• a third detection module that obtains status information transmitted by the hardware components connected to each of the hardware control cards, and detects whether any one of the hardware components has an abnormality according to the status information;
• and
• a display module that searches a corresponding serial number and solutions for the abnormality from the hardware-recording table, upon the condition that the image measurement machine has device connecting faults, port connecting faults, or any one of the hardware components has an abnormality, and displays the corresponding serial number and the solutions on a display screen of the computing device.

A non-transitory storage medium having stored thereon instructions that, when executed by a processor of a computing device, cause the computing device to perform a method for detecting defective hardware of an image measurement machine, the method comprising:

• creating a hardware-recording table that records abnormalities occurred in hardware components of the image measurement machine, each of the abnormalities corresponding to a serial number, a name of the hardware component having the abnormality, and one or more solutions for solving the abnormality of the hardware component;
• detecting device connecting faults of the image measurement machine by detecting whether all hardware control cards of the image measurement machine connect to the computing device, each of the hardware control cards connecting to one or more hardware components;
• detecting port connecting faults of the image measurement machine by detecting whether serial ports connected to each of the hardware control cards match preset serial ports;
• obtaining status information transmitted by the hardware components connected to each of the hardware control cards, and detecting whether any one of the hardware components has an abnormality according to the status information;
• searching a corresponding serial number and solutions for the abnormality from the hardware-recording table, upon the condition that the image measurement machine has device connecting faults, port connecting faults, or any one of the hardware components has an abnormality;
• and
• displaying the corresponding serial number and the solutions on a display screen of the computing device.
