ENET2-1553

eNet2-1553™ is an innovative product that provides real-time Ethernet connectivity for 1-2 independent 1553 dual redundant busses: 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.

eNet2-1553™ is an innovative product that provides “remoting” of 1553 operations on 10/100/1000 Ethernet IP/UDP local area networks (LAN).  eNet2-1553 is a small, low-power, rugged device that provides real-time Ethernet connectivity to for two dual redundant 1553 (A/B) busses. Ideal for remoting 1553 connections for in-field applications or point-point lab usage. POE Type 1 (IEEE 802.3af) Optional.

Alta has combined the industry’s most advanced 32-bit 1553 FPGA protocol engine, AltaCore, with a real-time IP/UDP thin server. 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 utlimate in code portability.

Signal Capture circuitry is included on the first channel for cable troubleshooting and cybersecurity modeling.  The example captures below are shown with our AltaView analyzer, or integrate captures in your application with AltaAPI SDK (included):

**NOTE: eNet2-1553 (server) is a real-time Ethernet/1553 device, but your computers’ (client) IP stack may not be! The eNet2-1553 device provides real-time UDP receive and transmit requests (<20 uSecs) to 1553 buffers, but the client’s IP/UDP stack will induce path delays as compared to backplane cards. For many applications (<100-2000 packets per second), this product will provide unparalleled flexibility in 1553 configurations (much better than USB devices). Contact Alta for test results on various OS and computer configurations – your system results may vary.

Optional J1 and J2 Cable Assemblies Provided – Please See Part Numbers Above.
