1553 Bus Controller and
Data Concentrator

A combined 1553 Bus Controller and Data Concentrator created to support proof of concept flight trials. This equipment, which makes extensive use of our existing data bus and data acquisition IP, combines in a single compact airborne unit:

•  MIL-STD-1553 Bus Control, with bus cycle definitions loaded from a Notebook PC.

• Data transfer, with reformatting, from one 1553 message to another.

• Minimum latency acquisition of serial, analogue and discrete data – and its output to the 1553 bus in an `Emulated RT' message.

• Real time monitoring and full bandwidth recording to the PC whenever connected – autonomous operation at all other times.
