Bus Communication Card

MIL-1394B

The MIL-1394B communication card is a 3U PXIe board compliant with the MIL-1394B (AS5643) protocol specification. At the physical layer, it supports the IEEE-1394b standard, offering selectable data rates of 100 Mbps, 200 Mbps, and 400 Mbps. The card supports 1–2 nodes, with each node providing three independent ports. It accommodates both periodic and event-driven messages and features CC (Cycle Controller) and RN (Redundant Node) modes, meeting communication requirements for various scenarios. Designed primarily for simulation and testing of MIL-1394B (AS5643) bus protocols, the card also provides Windows-based host software and API driver functions to facilitate further development and application.
