RCI-204 Remote CAIS Bus Expansion Card
The RCI-204 card can be used to add multiple CAIS Bus Expansion Ports to Curtiss-Wright's AIC-200X Airborne Instrumentation Controller. These ports can be used to configure a distributed data acquisition system in which the AIC-200X operates as a CAIS Master Controller over each CAIS Bus port. Various CAIS Remote units can reside on each CAIS Bus port, including DAUs, recorders, cockpit displays, etc. Each card provides an additional 4 CAIS Bus ports and multiple cards can be used within a single AIC-200X chassis.
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.
