IP-429-II



Dynamic Engineering's IndustryPack Compatible Designs work with all major buses: PCI, cPCI, PC104p, PCIe, VME and more.

ARINC 429 is a versatile standardized bus interface. ARINC 429 is robust featuring Manchester encoding and enough voltage swing to provide excellent noise immunity and reasonable throughput rates. ARINC 429 is the interface of choice for critical applications; for example aircraft instrumentation and control. There are many devices supporting the 429 bus - printers, instrumentation, sensors and more. IP-429 makes it easy to gain access to the ARINC 429 bus. Just connect; program a few registers and then use like an IO device. IP-429 is supported with the Dynamic Engineering Carrier software drivers for Linux and Windows®.

The IP-429 has recently undergone an upgrade - the board is now labeled "-II". The new version uses an industrial temp Xilinx device with the 429 data passing through the Xilinx. The base design has the same design ID, register and bit maps to remain common with the original version. Time Tagging is now a standard feature. Enhanced feature sets with filtering, auto read / write, dual port RAM storage etc. will be available on the same board as an order option. FLASH memory is used with Revision B of the IP-429-II board.

Time Tagging - a 32 bit counter with 1 uS resolution is provided. A storage register is updated when a message is received with the current 32 bit count. Software can read the count, and the message and "know" to the uS when the message came in relative to the master counter. The master counter is resetable under software control to allow synchronization to a system clock or operating system time. Independent register per 429 receive channel. The Time Tag registers are now located in the IO space. The registers are on long word boundaries to support 32 bit reads when available.

The IP Module driver can be instantiated multiple times to control multiple cards by the same CPU. IP-429 when coupled with the Dynamic Driver "knows" what slot it is in and which carrier it is installed into. The slot and carrier information is required when using multiple cards in a PCI system with dynamic address assignment. A known system configuration can be combined with the slot and carrier information to deterministically access the right card

PCI implementations can be done with the PCI3IP and PCI5IP. Applications from 2 RX and 1 TX to 40 Receivers and 20 Transmitters per PCI slot.
cPCI 3U is supported with the cPCI2IP. Applications from 2 RX and 1 TX to 16 Receivers and 8 Transmitters per 3U cPCI slot.
cPCI 6U is supported with the cPCI4IP. Applications from 2 RX and 1 TX to 32 Receivers and 16 Transmitters per 6U cPCI slot.
PC104p is supported with the PC104pIP. Applications from 2 RX and 1 TX to 8 Receivers and 4 Transmitters per PC104 stack position.
PC104p situations with a custom mechanical can be done with the PC104p4IP.
Channel counts from 2 RX and 1 TX to 32 Receivers and 16 Transmitters per PC104 stack position.
3U VME is supported with the VME2IP. Applications from 2 RX and 1 TX to 16 Receivers and 8 Transmitters per 3U VME slot.
6U VME is supported with the VME4IP. Applications from 2 RX and 1 TX to 32 Receivers and 16 Transmitters per 6U VME slot.

Connect your hardware to your favorite Avionics with IP-429. IP-429 is an IndustryPack® compatible ARINC 429 interface featuring 8 receivers and 4 transmitters in one slot. The IP interface is 8 and 32 MHz. compatible. A parallel port is supplied for custom interface requirements. transient voltage suppression built into the interface devices. The transient protection is required by the Mark 33 Digitial Information Transfer System specification.

Each receiver channel is programmable to the high and low 429 operating frequencies [12-14.5 KHz., or 100 KHz.], data length of 25 or 32 bits, data filter address, and parity. Interrupt or polled operation.

Each transmitter features an 8 - 32 bit word FIFO to offload the CPU with set and forget operation. The transmit rate is programmable to allow inter-operation with many equipment types. The data word length is programmable to be 25 or 32 bits. Interrupt or polled operation. The driver can be used with 32 bit accesses to cut the number of instructions in half. Requires an IP carrier with automatic 32 to 16 bit conversion. All Dynamic Engineering IP carriers have this feature.

An 8 bit input port and 4 bit output port allow for custom interfacing requirements. The drive side is supported with 125's [64 mA sink] and the receive side is through a 33 ohm resistor.

The many programmable features allow the IP-429 interface to be used with ARINC 429 and other standards. In addition to ARINC-429 the interface can be used for ARINC standards 571, 575, 706. The other standards are handled with different software selections.

The IP-429 has undergone flight and full chamber testing by one of our customers.

    IP-429 SW Engineering Kit Software Engineering Kit for IP-429. IP-429 IP module driver for Windows® is included with purchase. The IP-429 module driver works with all Dynamic Engineering carrier drivers for a complete solution. Dynamic Engineering PCI based Carriers include: PCI3IP, PCI5IP, cPCI4IP, cPCI2IP, PC104pIP, PC104p4IP. For Linux systems the generic driver is currently in use.

    Clients can use the Hardware manual of the Industrypack they are interested in as a reference to instruct the generic driver which address(es) and which bit(s) to set or clear. Clients can access the bits and registers to specify whatever is needed for their unique situation. The generic driver requires the user to control what they need to do at a somewhat lower level than a specific to the IP driver would. If the bit map level is lower than you want to go, Dynamic Engineering can write the specific driver you require for Dynamic Engineering and Third party hardware.
