OVERVIEW
The IPM-ASYNC provides a high-channel-density solution to your ASYNC RS422/485 and CSDB Avionics Protocol requirements. Available as an 8MHz single-size Industry Pack (IPack) module, the
IPM-ASYNC offers message scheduling and time-tagging with a precision of one microsecond. On-board transmit/receive buffers have programmable almost-full/almost-empty thresholds, which fully support both polling and interrupt-driven software strategies to ensure optimal real-time performance.
The IPM-ASYNC transmitters are short-circuit protected and offer programmable parity bit, stop bit, word length, and bit-rates up to 1 Mbps. Receivers can detect parity, framing errors and can be configured for internal loopback. As an added convenience, the IPM-ASYNC comes with 8 general-purpose discrete differential
I/O lines, four of which can be programmed to toggle during the transmission of individual message words.
Carrier Board Support
The functionality of the IPM-ASYNC is further enhanced by the power of MAX Technologies’ line of intelligent multi-platform (PCI, CPCI and PXI) carrier boards. All modules and carrier boards are synchronized and time correlated to 32-bit microsecond-resolution.
Software Support
The MX-Foundation library provides high-level abstraction of hardware and allows to easily control mixed protocols and I/O modules on one or multiple carrier boards.
