2.2 About ME-A429
The ME-A429 enables you to connect a standard PC System to an
ARINC429 bus system. The ARINC429 protocol is widely used in
avionic applications with safety critical background.
The ME-A429 interface card offers up to 16 TX and 16 RX ARINC429
channels. All channels are independent. Hardware, firmware and driver
are optimized for operation in a real-time system, especially in
COSATEQ’s SCALE-RT. The card is also able to handle tasks in other
areas of application, e.g. controlling or visualization.
There are three versions of the ME-A429 available:
