ENET-1553

Remote 1553 Operations for Ethernet Networks
eNet-1553™ is an innovative product that provides real-time connectivity of 1553 operations on a Ethernet local area network (LAN): 1553 to Ethernet Converter. Alta has combined the industry’s most advanced 32-bit 1553 FPGA protocol engine, AltaCore™, with a real-time IP/UDP thin server in a small low-power, rugged box. The customer can implement their application with the same feature-rich application programming interface, AltaAPI™, as used with standard cards – often without even recompiling - the ultimate in code portability.

eNet is a small, rugged 1553 to Ethernet appliance/converter (~200 grams and about the size of a 4 stub coupler) and offers the same advanced BC, mRT and BM functions as our cards.  In addition, eNet can provide an additional independent BM mode to auto bridge (transmit) 1553 messages on user defined IP/UDP packet header. The appliance can also auto-load setup images for fast auto start-up, which would be ideal for simple RT applications that wouldn't even need an API interface (just a standard UDP interface - usually through simple socket programming).

**NOTE: eNet-1553 (server) is a real-time Ethernet/1553 device/converter, but your computers’ (client) IP stack may not be! The eNet-1553 device provides real-time UDP receive and transmit requests to 1553 buffers, but the client’s IP/UDP stack will induce path delays as compared to backplane cards.
