ENETX-1553


Overview

Rugged Real-Time 1553 Ethernet Bridge/Converter

ENETX-1553™ from Alta Data is an innovative product that provides “remoting” of 1553 operations on 10/100/1000 Ethernet IP/UDP local area networks (LAN). ENETX-1553 is a small, low-power, rugged device that provides real-time Ethernet connectivity to for three or four dual redundant 1553 (A/B) buses (channels), making it ideal for remoting 1553 connections for in-field applications or point-point lab usage.

The ENETX-1553 device provides real-time UDP receive and transmit requests to 1553 buffers, but the client’s IP/UDP stack will induce path delays as compared to backplane cards. For many applications (<2000 packets per second), this product will provide unparalleled flexibility in 1553 configurations (much better than USB devices). Contact Sarsen for test results on various OS and computer NIC configurations – system results may greatly vary.

Alta has combined the industry’s most advanced 32-bit 1553 FPGA protocol engine, AltaCore™, with a real-time IP/UDP thin server. The customer can implement their application with the same feature-rich application programming interface, AltaAPI™, as used with standard cards – often without even recompiling - the ultimate in code portability.
