MIL-STD-1553 TO RELAY CONVERTER

MIL-STD-1553 to Relay Output Data Translator Protocol Converter

MIL-STD-1553 to Relay Output Data Translator Protocol Converter extracts a discrete or a field from a specified 1553 data word contained in a specified 1553 message.
The unit is powered from an external 28 VDC (18-36V) nominal supply with internal current and thermal (102 ºC) fuse. The inputs are also reverse polarity protected.

At the moment the customer has to specify the range and limits of the required parameter that will switch the relay discrete output. For example a 1553 data word containing "Fuel quantity" or "Ground Speed" could be programmed such that when this parameter drops to a predefined value the relay discrete is switched. The switched relay output can be either configured for chassis ground or be provided as a "volt-free" contact. The discrete output can switch back again once the parameter increase above the predefined limit again. Indicator and/or enunciator can be provided as an option.

The user can specify many options at time of ordering including extra contact outputs etc.

The connections are via a D9 filtered plug as follows:

Contacts:

• 500mA @ 28 VDC (non inductive load)

All units are designed to meet the European and US EMC regulations.
