Wangen,
Cosateq – a software and hardware specialist based in Wangen – is introducing its first own hardware PCI-interface card.
The CO-PCIA429 card enables a quick and cost efficient connection of a standard PC System to control units, actuators and sensors over ARINC429 and may be used in the various fields of application, e.g. controlling, simulation or visualization.
The CO-PCIA429 is optimized for operation in real-time systems. Communication and caching over PCI is optimized for a smallest possible overhead, but gives the engineer full control over the ARINC429 bus system.
The CO-PCIA429 card is available in three versions:
> CO-PCIA429/4 with 4 transmitter und 4 receiver
> CO-PCIA429/8 with 8 transmitter und 8 receiver
> CO-PCIA429/16 with 16 transmitter und 16 receiver
All channels may be configured independently. Every TX-channel is designed with 24 transmit and the RX channel with 36 receive buffers. For received messages a timestamp with a resolution of 60µs is provided.
The CO-PCIA429 PCI interface card is supported by the Linux (Kernel 2.6) and real-time simulation environment SCALE-RT. The new SCALE-RT version 5.0 includes drivers for the CO-PCIA429 card for seamless and easy installation with SCALE-RT real-time simulation environment, especially for users not familiar with Linux. Integration of Microsoft Windows and LabView is coming soon.
SCALE-RT 5.0 comprises extensions for the simulation frontend Matlab/Simulink® within the scope of supply; it enables an easy integration of the CO-PCIA429 card in existing and new real-time simulation systems.
