DescriptionGE Fanuc CEI-520A Series ARINC Interface for PCI
Key FeaturesUp to 16 Rx and 16 Tx ARINC 429 channels Intelligent interface with large buffers Easy-to-use BusTools/ARINC Windows-based GUI Bus Analyzer available Advanced, high-level software API included for Windows XP, 2000, Me, NT, 98, 95, Linux Kernel (2.4 and 2.6), VxWorks, Visual Basic, and LabWindows/CVI Supports maximum data throughput on all channels simultaneously Programmable receive thresholds and variable transmit output voltages available Up to 16 input and 16 output discrete that handle avionics–level voltages Fully independent channel operation Error injection/detection High-performance processor Support for 2-wire ARINC 573, 575, 717, CSDB, +
HardwareAvailable in a range of configurations to match your needs, the intelligent CEI-520 and CEI-520A provide complete, integrated databus functionality for ARINC 429 and related avionics protocols. The CEI-520/ 520A supports maximum data throughput on all channels while providing onboard message scheduling, label filtering, multiple buffering options, time-tagging, error injection/detection, and avionics- level I/O discrete. Programmable receive level thresholds, adjustable transmit output voltages, and ruggedized configurations with extended operating temperatures are optional. Support for other 2-wire avionics protocols, including ARINC 419, 561, 571, 573, 575, 582, 717, and CSDB, is available.
SoftwareGE Fanuc Embedded Systems software tools and solutions significantly reduce the time required to integrate ARINC 429 and other avionics protocols into your application. Included is our flexible, high-level, API (Application Programming Interface) support for Windows XP, 2000, Me, NT, 98, 95, Linux Kernel (2.4 and 2.6), LabWindows/CVI, VxWorks and Visual Basic. This powerful API supports multiple cards, and is compatible with Condor API support on PC/AT, PC/104, CompactPCI and PCMCIA platforms. Optional software includes Solaris drivers, LabVIEW support and BusTools/ARINC, GE Fanuc Embedded Systems’ easy-to-use, Windows-based GUI solution for ARINC 429 analysis, simulation and data logging.
ArchitectureThe interfaces feature independent selection of data rate and parity, error injection/detection and automatic transmit channel slew rate adjustment. The parametric option adds programmable input thresholds on receive channels and adjustable output voltage on transmit channels. Input discretes support TTL to avionics voltage levels, while output discrete can switch up to 0.5 ampere.
CEI-520AThe CEI-520A is functionally compatible with the CEI-520. The CEI-520A includes a component upgrade to support PCI universal voltage signaling (3.3V or 5V). The CEI-520 supports 5V only. Version 3.80 of the CEI-x20 API includes support for the CEI-520A and CEI-520. More information related to the transition from CEI-520 to CEI-520A is available on our web site.
Data HandlingOn-board firmware, large data buffers, and a highlevel API are integrated to provide total flexibility in monitoring and generating ARINC bus traffic. Simultaneous Scheduled and Burst Mode (FIFO) messaging is supported on all ARINC 429 transmit channels. Each ARINC 429 receive channel provides simultaneous Dedicated and Buffered Mode storage, along with label/SDI filtering. Three different methods are provided to buffer received data: Buffered Mode utilizes a separate circular buffer for each channel. Merged Mode combines all received data into a single, time-sequenced circular buffer. Dedicated Mode provides a snapshot of the very latest data.
Tools - API SupportFlexible, high-level utility libraries for Windows XP, 2000, Me, NT, 98, 95, Linux, LabWindows/CVI, VxWorks, and Visual Basic are included with the CEI-520 and CEI-520A. Our easy-to-use API (Application Programming Interface) speeds application development by providing simplified access to all configuration, initialization, transmit, and receive functionality. Contact GE Fanuc Embedded Systems for a copy of the API User Manual to see how this robust and flexible C programming interface can reduce development, integration, and life cycle maintenance efforts. Solaris and LabVIEW VI support are also available.
