NIU2A-RDC-01
Dual Function Slot MOSA Nano Remote Data Concentrator Unit (RDC)
NIU2A-RDC-01 is a Modular Open Systems Approach (MOSA) Remote Data Concentrator with low power high performance ARM Cortex -A9 processing. 512 MB RAM, 32 GB SATA Flash, 2 x 10/100/1000Base-T Ethernet and optional Fiber Optic Ethernet support.
The NIU2A-RDC-01 is ideally suited to support several air, land and sea platforms requiring processing, monitoring, management or control of MIL-STD-1553, ARINC-429/575 communication devices and discrete IO. The NIU2A-RDC-01 takes advantage of NAI’s COSA® Architecture: a flexible, adaptable, configurable, modular and expandable solution that offers an almost infinite number of configurations while eliminating hardware and software NRE redesign. NIU2A-RDC-01 supports fully remote operation over Ethernet or OS support includes PetaLinux and Wind River VxWorks.
Features
- 2 x Redundant MIL-STD-1553 Channels
- 8 x ARINC-429/575 Tx/Rx Channels
- 24 Programmable Discrete IO
- 28 VDC Input PSU with 50 ms holdup option
NAI’s Configurable Open Systems Architecture™ (COSA®) offers a choice of over 70 smart I/O, communication, and Ethernet switch functions, providing the highest packaging density and greatest flexibility of any multifunction I/O board in the industry. Preexisting, fully-tested functions can be combined quickly and easily in an unlimited number of ways. Each I/O function has dedicated processing, unburdening the system Single Board Computer (SBC) from unnecessary data management overhead.
