IP570

IP570:
MIL-STD-1553 Bus Interface Modules

• One or two 1553 interface channels
• DDC Micro-ACE controls 1553 interface

IP570 modules offer a choice of one or two channels to interface sensors and other devices to a 1553 bus.

MIL-STD-1553 (1553) is a digital internal time division command/response multiplex data bus. It is a military standard which has become one of the basic tools used by the U.S. Department of Defense for integration of weapon systems. MIL-STD-1553 describes the method of communication and the electrical interface requirements for subsystems connected to the data bus. Since its introduction, MIL-STD-1553 applications have extended to systems integration of flight controls, propulsion controls, and vehicle management (electrical, hydraulic, environmental control, etc.).

MIL-STD-1553 is designed for use in one of three forms:

Bus Controller (BC) – There is only one Bus Controller at a time on any MIL-STD-1553 bus. It initiates all message communication over the bus.

Remote Terminal (RT) – Up to 31 remote terminals can be present in the system.

Bus Monitor (BM) – A Bus Monitor cannot transmit messages over the data bus. Its primary role is to monitor and record bus transactions without interfering with operation of the Bus Controller or the Remote Terminals. Bus Monitor is often configured to record a subset of the transactions, based on criteria provided by the application program.

MIL-STD-1553 is ideal for these applications:

• Missile system testing
• Air traffic control system testing
• On-board aircraft system monitoring
• Satellite test systems
• Aircraft simulators
