ANET429-x

General Features
The ANET429-x is a member of AIM’s Ethernet based modules for analysing, simulating, monitoring and testing ARINC429 channels.

• All channels software programmable for various Receive (Rx) or Transmit (Tx) modes incl. a Loop Pollution mode
  (link between Rx and Tx channel)
• All transmitters have fixed output amplitude
• ANET429-4 and ANET429-8 versions provide separate Transmit (Tx) and Receive (Rx) pins on all channels
• Dockable versions for use in the ADock Docking Station are available as well

Common Core Hardware Design
The ANET429-x modules use AIM’s ‘Common Core’ hardware design utilizing FPGA technology combined with RISC processors (Bus Interface Units) to support ARINC429 bus protocol handling for precise scheduling of simulated messages in different transmit modes, timestamping of received messages with 1µs resolution as well as a loop mode (Rx-Tx link) with software configurable message data pollution performed in real time and with minimal latencies and respecting the Rx bus timing.

Onboard Processing – IRIG-B Time Synchronization
The onboard ASP (Application Support Processor) which is based on a SoC (System on Chip) hardware device is running under
Linux OS. This offers a scalable and flexible platform for hosting various onboard applications.
An onboard IRIG-B time encoder/decoder is included with sinusoidal output and free-wheeling mode for time tag synchroni-
zation on system level.

Board Software Package – Optional Analyzer Software
Full function driver software is delivered with the ANET429-x modules in comprehensive Board Software Packages (BSP’s) for different Operating Systems.
The optional PBA.pro™ Databus Test and Analysis Tool (for Windows and Linux) can also be purchased for use with ANET429-x modules.

ARINC429 Functionality on further Form Factors

ARINC429 Test and Simulation modules with 4, 8 or 16 software programmable Tx/Rx channels plus 8 Discrete I/O’s.
For wireless applications, an ANET compatible USB Wifi dongle is optionally available. The capability to execute Python scripts in the ANET is a standard feature. For applications with multiple ANET devices AIM offers the ADock ANET Docking Station to host up to 4 ANET modules.
