Multi-I/O PCI Card combines MIL-STD-1553/ARINC 429 channels.
Press Release Summary:
Model BU-65590I card provides up to 4 dual redundant MIL-STD-1553 channels; 16 receive/4 transmit ARINC 429 channels; 6 programmable I/Os; 2 RS-232 and 2 RS-422/485 I/O channels; and IRIG-B time synchronization input. Each 1553 channel emulates bus controller, remote terminal, or bus monitor, while ARINC 429 channels support high/low speed operation, message scheduling, label filtering, and error detection. Unit minimizes CPU/PCI-bus use and stores data in IRIG-106 Chapter 10 file format.
Original Press Release:
DDC Announces New Multi-I/O MIL-STD-1553/ARINC 429 PCI Card
Bohemia, New York (November 2008) Data Device Corporation (DDC) introduces a new multi-I/O PCI Card. The BU-65590I card provides up to four dual redundant MIL-STD-1553 channels, sixteen ARINC 429 receive channels, four ARINC 429 transmit channels, six user programmable Digital Discrete I/Os, two RS-232 Serial I/O Channels, two RS-422/485 Serial I/O Channels, and an IRIG-B time synchronization input.
Each 1553 channel can emulate a Bus Controller, Remote Terminal, or a Bus Monitor. The card includes a combined RT/Monitor mode to monitor all 1553 communications on the bus including the 1553 channel's own RT address. The card has an intelligent hardware offload DMA architecture that dramatically reduces host CPU and PCI bus utilization while storing 1553 monitor data in a convenient and portable IRIG-106 Chapter 10 file format. Each ARINC 429 channel supports high/low speed operation, message scheduling, label filtering, and full error detection. A standard version of the card is available with just ARINC 429 to interface with up to sixteen receive and four transmit ARINC 429 channels.
"By combining 1553 and 429 on one PCI card, the BU-65590I resolves the problem of diminishing PCI slots in new desktop computers," said Mike Hegarty, DDC's Data Bus Marketing Manager.
The card is available with "C" Software Development Kits (SDKs) for 1553 and 429, along with optional Windows® based graphical bus monitoring and analysis software (dataMARS). The dataMARS monitoring software allows for advanced monitoring through real time displays and provides post analysis capability through recorded data replay, report generation, and advanced search capability for ARINC 429 and MIL-STD-1553 data buses. The SDKs allow users to develop "C" source code to simulate, monitor, or troubleshoot 1553 and/or 429 data buses simultaneously or independently with support for the latest versions of operating systems including Windows® 2000/XP, Linux® 2.6 with SMP support, and VxWorks® 6. A common SDK exists across all operating systems allowing the programmer portability across different platforms.
Data Device Corporation (DDC) is recognized as a leading international supplier of high-reliability data interface products for military and commercial aerospace applications for over 40 years and MIL-STD-1553 products for more than 25 years. DDC's broad product line consists of advanced data bus technology for high speed Ethernet and Fibre Channel networks, MIL-STD-1553 and ARINC 429 data bus boards/components, synchro/resolver technologies, and solid state power controllers and motor drives. The company's design and manufacturing facility is located in Bohemia, N.Y.
