Interfacing
Some general interfacing guidelines are presented below. Do not hesitate to contact the
factory if you need more assistance.
Watch the system grounds
. All electrically connected equipment should have a fail-
safe common ground that is large enough to handle all current loads without affecting
noise immunity. Power supplies and power-consuming loads should all have their own
ground wires back to a common point.
Keep cables short
. Flat cables, even with alternate ground lines, are not suitable for
long distances. Proper ARINC429 approved cabling is recommended. For lab
environments standard twisted pair cabling will work.
Dynamic Engineering can manufacture custom cables to your specifications. Please
contact
with your requirements.
We provide the components. You provide the system
. Safety and reliability can be
achieved only by careful planning and practice. Inputs can be damaged by static
discharge, and by applying voltages exceeding the device specifications.
Terminal Block
. We offer a high quality 50 screw terminal block that directly connects
to the flat cable. The terminal block mounts on standard DIN rails.

Carriers
– Dynamic Engineering has carriers for PCI, cPCI and PC104p. Check for
PCIe and VPX. User the Java menu tabs to navigate to the format [cPCI etc] and then
the function on our website.
Drivers and reference software.
Drivers are included with Dynamic Engineering
products. Any released driver can be requested for the hardware. In many cases Linux
and Widows are supported and in some cases additional custom drivers for alternate
OS are also available. Please check the DDS [Dynamic Data Sheet] online to see what
is currently available. Each driver comes with open source reference software that uses
the driver to operate the design.
