OVERVIEW
The IPM-1553-MRT provides two independent dual-redundant MIL-STD-1553 channels capable of supporting MIL-STD-1553 A and B Notices I and II. Available as a 32MHz single-size Industry Pack (IPack) module, the IPM-1553-MRT offers message scheduling and 32-bit time-tagging with a precision of one microsecond. The module includes RS-485 transceivers supporting optional EBR (10Mb/sec MMSI). An on-board 8MB SDRAM provides large buffering capabilities. Flexible status and interrupt flags fully support both polling and interrupt-driven software strategies to ensure optimal real-time performance.
The IPM-1553-MRT contains on-board coupling transformers.
A high-performance FPGA is used to provide encode/decode, error injection and detection, fail-safe timer, and dual transceiver control functions. The module supports three modes: Bus Controller (BC), Bus Monitor (BM) and Remote Terminal (RT), and the RT addresses are software programmable. As an added convenience, the IPM-1553-MRT comes with IRIG-B input and 16 general-purpose DIO ports, which can be individually programmed as inputs or outputs.
Carrier Board Support
The functionality of the IPM-1553-MRT is further enhanced by the power of MAX Technologies’ line of intelligent multi- platform (PCI, CPCI and PXI) carrier boards. All modules and carrier boards are synchronized and time correlated to
32-bit microsecond-resolution.
Software Support
The MX-Foundation library provides high-level abstraction of hardware and allows to easily control mixed protocols and I/O modules on one or multiple carrier boards.
