Alta Data ENET-1553 converter

Alta Data has combined the 32-bit FPGA protocol engine AltaCore with a real-time IP/UDP thin server in a small, low power, rugged box. The user can implement their application with the same feature-rich application programming interface, AltaPI, as used with standard cards often without even recompiling, providing code portability.

eNet is a small, rugged 1553 to ethernet appliance/converter (~200 g and about the size of a 4-stub coupler) and offers BC, mRT and BM functions. In addition, eNet can provide an additional independent BM mode to auto bridge (transmit) 1553 messages on user-defined IP/UDP packet header. The appliance can auto-load set-up images for fast auto startup, being suitable for simple RT applications that wouldn’t require an API interface.

Key features include: remote 1553 devices on the LAN - small size; full BC, mRT, BM, signal capture capability; 5-30 VDC, 400-700 mA (5 V) typical; 1 A USB power OK; POE optional, 1760 startup; IRIG-B RX decode, PPS, triggers, discretes.
