Advanced Dual-Channel ARINC-664 Network Interface Module
The Dual-Channel ARINC-664 Network Interface Module stands out as a refined communication interface tailored for avionics,specifically engineered for seamless integration within Cube I/O chassis. This module offers robust connectivity in accordance with ARINC 664 Part 7, making it an ideal choice for both unmanned systems and aerospace applications. It can be configured to operate as two separate channels or as a single dual-redundant link, supporting Ethernet speeds of 10/100/1000BASE-T. This flexibility allows for various operational modes, including transmit, receive, or complete network monitoring.
Equipped with cutting-edge functionalities such as 10 μs time tagging, automatic error detection, and selective filtering based on virtual link (VL), port, or error type, this module ensures accurate real-time data management and integrity checks, which are crucial for mission-critical avionics networks. Its design accommodates both deterministic and asynchronous operations, with a transmission engine that supports Bandwidth Allocation Gap (BAG) shaping ranging from 1 to 128 ms, efficiently managing both Unicast and Multicast VLs.
The module facilitates intricate traffic scheduling, allowing for consecutive or user-defined sequence numbers, and even includes features for intentional error injection, which is beneficial for simulation and testing purposes. This encompasses logical, timing, ARINC 664, and specific Airbus variants. In monitor mode, it captures comprehensive UDP traffic or filtered network data, while also providing extensive onboard statistics for analysis. This rugged, high-performance module is perfectly suited for next-generation uncrewed systems that demand reliable avionics network integration and real-time operational control.
