1553 to Ethernet converter
The DNx-1553-553 is a high performance, two-channel MIL-STD-1553 card that is a perfect MIL-STD-1553 to Ethernet converter. Each channel operates fully independently and provides a complete dual, redundant MIL STD 1553 interface. Each channel may be set as MIL STD 1553a, MIL STD 1553b, MIL STD 1553c, and the "b" interface fully implements specification notices 1 and 2. Each channel is transformer coupled, though direct coupling is available as an option.
Most 1553 card functions are implemented by the on-board FPGA. This greatly reduces the burden placed on the Cube CPU and ensures the DNx-1553-553 does not interfere with the functionality of other I/O boards installed.
Each channel may be independently configured as Bus Controller (BC), Remote Terminal (RT) or Bus Monitor (MT). As a Bus Controller, the board supports all standard BC-RT, RT-BC, and RT-RT transfers and Mode Code, One-shot, and Broadcast messaging. The Remote Terminal support allows the board to be set at a single RT address, or to emulate the entire bus up to 32 different RTs. The RT implementation supports single, double, and circular message buffering. Bus Monitoring (MT) mode provides the ability to monitor all activity, or select activity based upon RT address or Mode Code.
