With the launch cycle of aerospace model becoming shorter and shorter, higher requirements are put forward for the universality, flexibility and reliability of the ground test equipment for power supply and distribution and other subsystems. But at present, the power supply and distribution test equipment developed is highly customized and has a long development cycle. It focuses on the realization of functions, while the universality and reliability are less considered. After problems occur, troubleshooting and maintenance take a long time, and it is not easy to replace and repair. Based on this, this paper introduces a design idea based on the combination of functional board and configurable software, which realizes the design of universal and flexible high reliability power supply and distribution test equipment. It greatly shortens the equipment development cycle and the average maintenance time. After the successful use of several models, good results have been achieved. The development idea is worth popularizing and using for reference.
