The BBG-1108b is an
ISAbus compatible card which interfaces to any slot of
an IBM PC or clone. This board supports standard 3-Axis
Gyro (synchro) input and converts it into four serial
outputs (Roll, Pitch, Heading, and Combined). The
BBG-1108b standard message format uses the NMEA 0183
message structures and supports RS-232, RS-422, RS-423,
RS-485, and MIL-STD-188C protocols.
The BBG-1108b is a "SMART"
interface due to the onboard processor which
communicates with the PC bus through shared memory,
thus, requiring minimum PC processor time.
Synchro/resolver inputs are processed by the onboard
processor and stored in shared memory. This information
is then read by the PC processor under interrupt control
or polled operation. Software drivers included with the
BBG-1108b provide easy integration, thus, shortening
product development cycle and time to market. DC power
is supplied by the PCbus requiring no external power
supplies.
In situations not
requiring a PC interface, the BBG-1108b operates in a
"STAND-ALONE" mode. With the addition of an external +5
volt power supply, the onboard processor converts the
synchro/resolver inputs into serial data formats without
the requirement of a PC bus. Upon applying power, the
BBG-1108b reads the configuration switch, and fully
configures and operates with no operator intervention
required.
Synchro/resolver
signals, reference inputs, and serial outputs are
available on a 50 pin male (DB50P) connector.
