DISCRETE to ARINC 429

The function of this converter is to encode up to 19 discrete inputs into a single ARINC 429 data word and transmit it. The value of the ARINC 429 label, the SDI and the SSM are configurable by the user via miniature DIP switches located on the printed circuit board (PCB). The transmission rate (bit rate and repetition rate) of the ARINC 429 word can also be configured via DIP switches. All inputs and outputs for the converter are protected against lightening to RTCA DO-160G. Sense inputs can be individually configured via DIP switches to be Open/Source (28V DC) or Open/Sink (0V) inputs. The unit is powered from an external 28 VDC (18-72V) nominal supply, which is fused at an internal current limit of 500mA and thermal limit of 102 ?C. The power inputs are also reverse polarity protected. No microprocessor - RTCA DO-178B not required.
