DL 615
Data Loaders for ARINC 615 & 603
The DL 615 is the modern replacement for outmoded 3½‑inch floppy disk only ARINC 615 portable data loaders (PDL). Any PC running Microsoft Windows can perform data loads using the USB to ARINC 429 interface, cables, and software included with the DL 615. While being as simple to use as older floppy disk PDLs, the DL 615 provides record keeping, flexibility in data management, and powerful features for troubleshooting and enabling data loads into difficult LRUs. As an added benefit, the interface can be used as a general purpose ARINC 429 (and optionally ARINC 717) maintenance tool.
The DL 615 provides flexibility in how data to be loaded is stored and managed. Data can be loaded from floppy disks, hard disk, USB device, CD, DVD, and even from wired or wireless network locations. The transfer status display shows exactly how the load is progressing. Some LRUs have non-standard timing and can be difficult to load. The DL 615 provides compliant, tolerant, and custom timing options which, along with the included 615 protocol recording and debugging/diagnostic tools, enable the DL 615 to load LRUs that are impossible to load with other loaders.
The DL 615 can be easily configured to log data load sessions for record keeping and debugging purposes. Logs can include basic load details only or detailed records with all bus activity. The entry screen can optionally prompt the user for additional details at the start of a transfer session.
Benefits:
Intuitive operation
Lightweight, portable and durable
Modern solution
Obsolescence proof
Powered by PC over USB
Use with any available PC
Integrates with other applications
Multipurpose loader/maintenance tool
All DL 615 models include the following items:
Data loading software (MS Windows)
ARINC 429 databus to USB interface (also available with ARINC 717)
53-pin data loader cable
53-pin to 31-pin adapter cable (ARINC 603)
Locking USB cable
Rugged carrying case
OmniBus
PCI & cPCI Avionics Interface Cards for Multiple Protocols
OmniBus PCI and cPCI cards provide interfaces for avionics databuses, as well as general purpose digital I/O and IRIG sourcing and synchronizing. The cards can be ordered with one or two modules to support a variety of avionics databus protocols.
Key Features:
PCI or cPCI form factor
High channel counts
Mixed protocols
IRIG time synchronization
Extended temperatures available
Can be upgraded/reconfigured
Protocols & I/O:
MIL-STD-1553
ARINC 429
ARINC 708
ARINC 717
CSDB
Serial (RS-422/232/423)
Discrete I/O
OmniBus Family
OmniBus is a highly-flexible and high-performance family of avionics databus interfaces combining a selection of industry-standard platforms (PCI/cPCI, VME, PMC and Ethernet/USB) with a wide-viariety of I/O choices (MIL-STD-1553, ARINC 429, ARINC 708, ARINC 717, Serial, CSDB and Discrete). This sophisticated OmniBus design allows users to order the exact number, functionality, and mix of protocol channels that they need. It also lets users upgrade or reconfigure their OmniBus (at the factory) as requirements change.
High-Performance Architecture
OmniBus products are built using an integrated board, core, and module architecture. PCI, cPCI, and Ethernet/USB boards include 1 or 2 cores, VME boards have up to 4, and PMC boards include a single fixed core. Each on-board core has a dedicated protocol processor, IRIG timer, and 3 sync and 3 trigger lines. These cores are the support circuitry for the I/O modules, which contain the interface to the databus protocol(s). Isolating the protocol interface on the I/O module provides the flexibility to create custom, user-specified configurations for single or mixed protocols. The protocol-specific OmniBus architecture provides a better solution with greater performance than general-purpose modular systems (such as IndustryPack™).
