The DNx-1553-553 card offers two fully independent and dual redundant MIL-STD-1553 interface channels and is ideal for converting from MIL-STD-1553 to Ethernet. It features an onboard FPGA that implements most of the functionality, greatly reducing the burden on the host chassis’ CPU.
Each channel can be configured as a Bus Controller (BC), Remote Terminal (RT) or Bus Monitor (BM). BC mode supports all standard BC-RT, RT-BC, and RT-RT transfers, as well as Mode Code, One-shot, and Broadcast messaging. RT mode allows the board to be set at a single RT address, or to emulate an entire bus with up to 32 different RTs. BM mode can monitor all activity, or selected activity based upon RT address or Mode Code, and can also monitor time tags, error status, and RT response time.
The rugged card is built to operate reliably in harsh marine environments, and is designed to withstand temperatures of -40 to +70°C, as well as up to 3g of vibration and 50g of shock.
