What is this BS EN 62286 - Service diagnostic interface about?
BS EN 62286 discusses the service diagnostic interface for consumer electronics products and networks with a focus on implementation for IEEE 1394.
BS EN 62286 specifies the requirements that have to be implemented in future products that incorporate a digital interface, and service diagnostic software developed for these products. The Service Diagnostic Interface (SDI) requires the use of a PC (desktop or laptop) into which service diagnostic software can be loaded. A part of this PC software has to be standardized while another part of this PC software is manufacturer/product related.
Who is BS EN 62286 - Service diagnostic interface for?
BS EN 62286 on service diagnostic interface is useful for:
- Software developer
- Electronics manufacturers
- Services provides
- Diagnostic support provides
Why should you use BS EN 62286 - Service diagnostic interface?
Consumer products are often repaired by service workshops that are servicing all kinds of products developed by different manufacturers.
BS EN 62286 is a minimal specification necessary to be able to carry out computerized diagnosis and covers the standardized software of the PC as well as the standardized software and provisions in the DUT. IEEE 1394 interface is present on the product, then the requirement for product identification as described in BS EN 62286 is mandatory. In addition, all communication for any service application should go through the IEEE 1394 interface only, as described in BS EN 62286.
BS EN 62286 discussed SDI that should be suitable for diagnosis in a network (A/V or multimedia network) in which different products from different manufacturers are connected together. The interface should also allow for future development. The standard SDI which has to be specified, should:
- Be usable in future products
- Be easily connectable to a product or a network
- Be cheap
- Not limit product design
