ENET-MA4™ is an innovative product for “remoting” 1553 & ARINC-429/717 operations on 10/100/1000 Ethernet local area networks (LAN). ENET-MA4 is a very small (candy bar), low-power, rugged device that provides real-time UDP connectivity for 1-2 dual redundant 1553 (A/B) busses and 8 ARINC channels. This product is ideal for lab or deployed with conditioned power (MIL-810/461 Tested). For MIL-704 Avionics Power Input (Raw Avionics Power), see the ENETX-MA4 product.
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 ultimate in code portability.
**NOTE: eNet-MA4 (server) is a real-time Ethernet/1553 device, but your computers’ (client) IP stack may not be! The eNet-MA4 device provides real-time UDP receive and transmit requests (<10 uSecs) to data buffers, but the client’s IP/UDP stack will induce path delays as compared to backplane cards. For most applications, this product will provide unparalleled flexibility in avionics 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.
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):
