ANET429-4

2 Channel Transmitter/ 2 Channel Receiver Ethernet to ARINC429 Interface

The ANET429-x is a member of AIM’s new line of Ethernet based modules for analysing, simulating, monitoring and testing ARINC429 channels. 4 channels are available on the ANET429-4, 8 channels on the ANET429-8 and 16 channels on the ANET429-16 module. All channels are software programmable for Receive (Rx) or Transmit (Tx) mode.

All transmitters have fixed output amplitude. ANET429-4 and ANET429-8 versions provide separate Transmit (Tx) and Receive (Rx) pins on all channels. All ANET429-x modules have the capability to handle eight General Purpose Discrete I/O (GPIO) signals which can be monitored or generated. Also 3 Trigger Inputs and Outputs are offered.

The ANET429-x modules use AIM’s ‘Common Core’ hardware design utilising two RISC processors with 128MB of Global RAM and 256MB of ASP RAM. The onboard ASP (Application Support Processor) which is based on a SOC (System On Chip) hardware device is running under LINUX OS. This offers a scalable and flexible platform for hosting various onboard applications.
