OmniBus II Ballard Technology PXIe Interface Module

The Astronics / Ballard Technology OmniBus II PXIe Interface Module is designed for use in multi-slot PXIe and CompactPCI Express test systems. It enables these systems to interface with multiple avionics databuses for testing, validating and simulating commercial and military avionics equipment and systems. The card is highly configurable and includes two internal Cores that can be populated with a variety of databus protocols and discrete I/O modules.

The Astronics / Ballard Technology OmniBus II PXIe Interface Module is the next-generation of Ballard's popular OmniBus product with faster I/O and processing capabilities. With the newest advanced set of MILSTD-1553 and ARINC 429 modules, users can verify wave form compatibilities, test functions of bus shorts and opens, and - when combined with the CoPilot software - perform lab, production and flight test verification and simulation right out of the box. Manufactured as Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) products, the PCIe interface is perfect for challenging simulation, test, interface, and data recording applications.

OmniBus II modules used on this card feature the latest 6th generation protocol engines and bus mastering to yield high performance. Power is obtained from the backplane bus - no supplemental power is needed. All cards are standard 3U size and include sixteen TTL level input/output discretes and IRIG time synchronization/ generation. User software can indicate status by controlling the two LEDs.
