Rugged 1553 & ARINC Ethernet Conversion

If you’re looking for an innovative network product for rugged applications that provides real-time Ethernet conversion for MIL-STD-1553/ARINC-A429/717 interface, look no further! The eNetX-MA4 from Alta Data implements a FPGA thin server ENETX-MA4 Image(no processor or IP stack) for secure, real-time Ethernet UDP connectivity for 1553 and ARINC interfaces. Aside from the rugged and compact design, the Alta Data Engineering team excelled themselves by adding MIL-704F power management while still maintaining an incredibly small footprint – a little bigger than a 4-stub 1553 coupler. For applications destined for use in harsh environments, the eNetX is tested to MIL-STD-704F/461F/810G and DO-160 Sec 22. In addition to 1553/ARINC controls, bus signals can be generated and captured remotely for protocol and electrical troubleshooting. The eNetX-MA4 is a logical extension to the very successful ENET product family. ENET products provide advanced controls of traditional 1553/ARINC interfaces, and simultaneously can auto bridge/transmit PPS, IRIG, IEEE-1588 time-stamped 1553/ARINC UDP packets. There is a fast auto-boot feature where 1553/ARINC and MIL-1760 controls can be managed through straight UDP socket communications as implemented on almost every OS, even DO-178 compliant systems. What differentiates ENETX from other products on the market is the thin server UDP interface providing secure, real-time Ethernet/1553/ARINC bridging/conversion. The majority of similar products are processor based with unsecure operating system IP stacks that greatly slow down Ethernet communications.
