The JEDEC standard on ESD handling, JESD625-A, is available for free download at . Please follow the standard’s guideline for proper ESD handling methods. At a minimum the following guidelines should be followed: • Avoid carpets in cool, dry areas. • Leave the card in its anti-static packaging until ready to be installed. • Dissipate static electricity before handling the card by touching a grounded metal object, such as the metal chassis of the system (the system should be plugged-in, but turned-off). • Use antistatic devices, such as wrist straps and floor mats. • Always hold the card by its edges. Avoid touching the components or connectors. • Be sure to align card edge or assembly cable connector pins before installation. Misaligned connectors can cause damage to the card or system, especially at power-on. • Take care when connecting or disconnecting cables. When disconnecting a cable, always pull on the cable connector, not on the cable itself. eNet2-1553 Description eNet2-1553 is an innovative product that provides “remoting” of 1553 operations on 10/100/1000 Ethernet IP/UDP local area networks (LAN). eNet2-1553 is a small, lowpower, rugged device that provides connectivity for up to two dual redundant 1553 bus and is ideal for remoting 1553 connections for in-field applications or point-point lab usage. Alta has combined the industry’s most advanced 32-bit 1553 FPGA protocol engine, AltaCore™, with a real-time IP/UDP thin server. The customer can implement their application with the same feature-rich application programming interface, AltaAPI™, which is a multi-layer ANSI C and 2.0 (MSVS 2005/2008 C++, C#, VB .NET) architecture. This hardware and software package provides increased system performance and reduces integration time. eNet2-1553 Hardware Manual ●151B2-00000-A8 Alta Data Technologies LLC ● 3 Card Level Specifications • 10/100/1000 Ethernet • Supported protocols are UDP and ARP • Programmable IP address: Default IP address is 192.168.0.128 • One or Two MIL-STD-1553 Channel(s) • 2 Mbyte of on-board memory • IRIG-B Receiver (DC or AM) • Signal Capture capability • 6 Single-Ended Bi-Directional Avionics Discretes • Two RS-485 Discretes • One LVTTL Input and Output Trigger • External Input and Output Clocks (LVTTL or RS-485 Selectable) • 1760 Ext RT Addressing • Two Temperature Sensors • Auto Load BC, RT and BM Images for Fast Startup • Auto BM Mode for 1553->Ethernet Bridging • 5-32 VDC Conditioned Power o Lab Use 5V USB Power 1.6 AMP Typical o Embedded applications, use conditioned power source o Power Over Ethernet (POE) Optional* • 8 Watts Max ( ** Bus Loading) • 215g Weight • Operating Temperature range: o 0 to +70C Standard o -40 to +85C Extended Temp Parts with –E Option (as applicable). o *Note: The eNet2-1553 device cannot operate at extended temperature range when the POE option is in use.
