DDC Introduces New MIL-STD-1553 PCI-Express Card and Updated Multi-RT / ARINC 429/575 USB Avionics Device
01 February 2009
Data Device Corporation (DDC) has introduced exciting new 1553/429 test and simulation products including a four channel MIL-STD-1553 PCI Express card ( BU-67106K ) and updated Multi-I/O MIL-STD-1553 / ARINC 429 USB avionics devices ( BU-67102/3U ).
The BU-67106K is a PCI Express (x1) card with up to four dual redundant MIL-STD-1553 channels operating in bus controller (BC) or Multi-RT (0 to 31) modes, with a concurrent bus monitor (MT). The card also contains software configurable bus coupling and termination options, discrete I/Os, IRIG-B time code input and output, and time tag clock input and output.
The BU-67103U Multi-I/O MIL-STD-1553 / ARINC 429/575 USB avionics device is ideal for lab applications, while the BU-67102U provides the same functionality in a more rugged package. The devices are available with up to two dual redundant 1553 channels, each capable of operating in bus controller (BC) or multi remote terminal (RT) modes, with a concurrent bus monitor (MT). In addition, the device contains four ARINC receive channels, two ARINC transmit channels, eight digital discrete I/Os, IRIG-B time code input and one pulse-per-second (PPS) output. It is also available in 1553 and ARINC only models.
The cards feature a common test/embedded API and are supplied with a wide array of software including the BU-69092SX series software, which is DDC's MIL-STD-1553 AceXtreme™ C software development kit (SDK), including source code samples and detailed documentation. The USB avionics devices additionally include the DD-42992S ARINC 429 Multi-I/O C SDK, incorporating source code samples and detailed documentation. Additional software packages include the BusTrACEr™ 1553 graphical analyzer/simulator and dataMARS real-time avionics bus analysis software.
These new products, along with our already extensive line of PCI, PCMCIA, PC/104, PC/104-Plus, cPCI and AMC test and simulation products, demonstrate DDC’s continuous commitment to supplying COTS data bus solutions in configurations and formats adapted to a wide variety of military, aerospace and commercial applications.
