The ABCU-402A is a dual-port full-duplex, Gigabit Ethernet, ADAU Overhead module packet programmer and an IPv4 data packets transmitter.
Key Features
- Dual-port bi-directional, full-duplex, Gigabit Ethernet connection with auto-sensing
- DARv3 and IRIG-106 Ch.10 packetization structures
- Synchronization using PTPv1 or PTPv2, or acts as PTPv1 or PTPv2 Grandmaster
- Programming and verification of ADAU chassis using TFTP
- In system programmability of firmware and FPGA
- Supports Gigabit link with ADAU user modules and 380 Mbps data throughput to external Ethernet connections
Applications
- Ethernet-based data acquisition systems
The ADAU-2006 is a 6 user-slot Axon chassis, which along with the housing and backplane, includes an isolated 50W power supply for the controller and user modules.
The ABIM-553A is a MIL-STD-1553 bus monitor, which can monitor up to four dual redundant busses.
The ATCD-415A is used to condition and digitize up to fifteen analog thermocouple channels and three 4-wire RTD channels.
ABCU-402A-1 Overhead Module Programmer and Transmitter
The ABCU-402A is a dual-port full-duplex, Gigabit Ethernet, ADAU Overhead module packet programmer and an IPv4 data packets transmitter. The ADAU Overhead module supports chassis programming via Ethernet using Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP). Synchronization with an external PTP Grandmaster is achieved using IEEE 1588-2004 Precision Time Protocol version 1 (PTPv1) or IEEE Std 1588-2008 Precision Time Protocol version 2 (PTPv2). The ABCU-402A can also act as a PTPv1 or PTPv2 Grandmaster.
In acquisition mode, some or all acquired data is transferred from the backplane to the CVT. Onboard, it is packetized into a DARv3 or IRIG-106 Ch.10 application layer packet. Assembled packets can be transmitted simultaneously on either or both Ethernet outputs. For asynchronous bus data, the ABCU-402A supports aperiodic transmission for efficient bandwidth use, whereby packets are not generated unless fresh data has been acquired from a packetizer user-module.
The ABCU-402A includes an embedded HTTP server, which allows channels to be balanced on supported analog modules. The ABCU-402A supports routing Ethernet frames received from either Ethernet port to modules in the chassis. This feature allows Ethernet packets to be sent directly to a recorder or PCM transmitter module (among other modules).
Aerospace Instrumentation Brochure
Modern aerospace instrumentation systems can be highly complex, and it can be difficult to know how to meet program needs. It’s not unusual for requirements to change during a campaign and cause significant delays, and data must be captured reliably no matter what – otherwise expensive additional flights will be needed or months of program data could be lost. Read our brochure to learn how you can reduce your risk with commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) solutions.
