Overview: |
|
|
The ATS-PCC-429 card provides a flexible, powerful ARINC429 avionics databus interface to the PC card socket. The card can be used with a laptop, notebook PC or a desktop PC or any other device having PC Card interface. The ATS-PCC-429 is based on Type III PC Card architecture. The card is designed to transmit and receive messages on up to 6 channels. Each channel is software configurable for high or low speed (12.5k or 100k bits per second) and ARINC429 protocol requirements. The ARINC data word can be decoded and sorted based on the Label and SDI bits and stored in RAM and/or FIFOs. The card is integrated with a powerful software that reduces development time. All databus functionality is supported from our advanced API (Application Programming Interface) and VIP (Virtual Instrument Panel). |

Hardware:
The ATS-PCC-429 card can be configured with single ARINC429 controller from DDC which is configured as 2 Transmit and 4 Receive channels. The controller has 128 x 32 bit static RAM, four 32 (words deep) x 32 (bit) Receive FIFOs and two 32 (words deep) x 32 (bit) transmit FIFOs. Look-up tables loaded into RAM enable the controller’s receive circuitry to filter and sort incoming data by label and destination bit as well as provide multilevel data specific interrupts or hardware triggers.
Discrete I/O Channels-Optional
The card is equipped with TTL level digital I/O channels. It comes with 4 general-purpose digital I/O channels. These are pre-configured as 2 inputs and 2 outputs.

The ATS-PCC-429 software includes:
· Virtual Instrument Panel
· Drivers & APIs |
|

Virtual Instrument Panel
The ATS-PCC-429 card comes with a “Virtual Instrument Panel” providing interactive control of all ARINC429 and Digital I/O features. The control interface appears on the computer display and user manipulates these controls with a mouse or keyboard. The purpose of Virtual Instrument Panel is to help the user (mostly system integrators) to quickly setup and use the card, just like a stand-alone instrument with physical front-end knobs, controls and display without getting into programming intricacies.
Drivers & APIs
The card comes with a powerful set of library functions to access the entire ARINC429 and Digital I/O functionality. The drivers are designed in a modular fashion consisting of component functions and application functions. The user’s test program can be developed with few calls to the card driver, by using the set of Application functions provided.
Driver and high-level API libraries for Windows 2000/XP, Linux, RT-Linux, LabVIEW are available. Sample application programs are included.
Bus Monitor
This is an application software utility developed for data logging, display and analysis. The tool can be used for data record and playback purposes
