CM5
Combination Module: 2 Ch. Dual-Redundant MIL-STD-1553 & 8 Ch. ARINC 429/575 Communications Interfaces
The CM5 provides a combined function alternative which mitigates SWaP-C system integration and configuration challenges. The CM5 function essentially combines two of NAI’s popular functions on a single-slot function module:
MIL-STD-1553 Communications Interface : The CM5 smart function provides a MIL-STD-1553 interface Bus Controller (BC), Remote Terminal (RT) or Bus Monitor (BM) function (programmable per channel). The IP/Core MIL-STD-1553 firmware supports NAI software/API Assisted Mode Capability (AMC).
ARINC 429/575 Communications Interface : The CM5 smart function provides a fully programmable ARINC 429/575 communications interface. ARINC 429 (and legacy ARINC 575) is a data transfer standard for aircraft avionics. It uses a self-clocking, self-synchronizing data bus protocol. The physical connection wires are twisted pairs carrying balanced differential signaling. Data words are 32 bits in length and most messages consist of a single data word. Messages are transmitted at either 12.5 or 100 kbps to other system elements that monitor the bus messages. The transmitter constantly transmits either 32-bit data words or the NULL state. A single-wire pair is limited to one transmitter and no more than 20 receivers. The protocol allows for self-clocking at the receiver end, thus eliminating the need to transmit clocking data.
