Description:
The BU-65578F/M is a PMC card that provides up to eight dual-redundant MIL-STD-1553 channels operating in BC, RT, MT, or combined RT/MT modes. The card also contains up to eight digital discrete I/Os, eight avionics (+35V) discrete I/Os, an IRIG-B time code input, an IRIG-B time code output/generator, an external time tag input, and an external time tag clock output.
Each 1553 channel uses DDC’s Extended Enhanced Mini-ACE® (E²MA) architecture which is fully backwards API compatible with DDC’s industry standard, field proven, Enhanced Mini-ACE®. The card includes the MIL-STD-1553 Enhanced Mini-ACE® PLUS C Software Development Kit (SDK) with drivers for VxWorks®, Linux®, and Windows® 2000/XP. These SDKs allow you to quickly integrate DDC’s 1553 cards into your C source code applications. A common SDK exists across all operating systems allowing the programmer portability across different platforms. The easy-to-use high level functions abstract all low level hardware accesses and memory allocation such that specific hardware knowledge is not required.
Each 1553 channel is individually configurable as a Bus Controller (BC), Remote Terminal (RT), Bus Monitor (MT) or combined RT / Monitor. The advanced BC architecture provides a high degree of flexibility and autonomy by improving message schedule control, minimizing host overhead for asynchronous message insertion, facilitating bulk data transfers, double buffering, message retry, bus switching strategies, data logging, and fault reporting. The RT architecture provides flexibility in meeting all MIL-STD-1553B protocols. The card has an intelligent hardware offload DMA architecture that dramatically reduces PCI bus and host CPU utilization while storing 1553 monitor data in a convenient and portable IRIG-106 Chapter 10 file format. Storing data in the industry standard IRIG-106 Chapter 10 file format allows DDC’s cards to be used with digital flight data recorders.
APPLICATIONS
The BU-65578F/M is designed for harsh environments and can be used in either conduction or convection cooled applications. The card is available with front panel I/O or rear I/O. The card’s rugged construction and ability to operate from -40°C to +85°C on the thermal rail make it ideal for use in flight data recorders, display applications, mission computers, embedded black boxes, and avionics labs.
