ARINC 429 Test Equipment
ARINC 429 test equipment transmits, receives and monitors ARINC 429 labels so that avionics engineers can test line-replaceable units on the bench, simulate missing aircraft systems and capture bus traffic for troubleshooting. ARINC 429 runs point-to-point at 12.5 kbit/s (low speed) or 100 kbit/s (high speed) [1]. Novatelia sources selected ARINC 429 interfaces by RFQ for customers in Oman and qualified GCC projects.
Applications
- Bench test and acceptance of ARINC 429 LRUs [1].
- Simulation of transmitting aircraft systems with programmable labels and rates [1].
- Real-time recording and analysis of label traffic [2].
Equipment types
- PC interface cards: PCIe, PCI, PMC, XMC, PXI/cPCI [3][1].
- Real-time Ethernet and USB converters in rugged cable-in-line packages, e.g. Alta NLINE-EA429 [3].
- Mixed 1553 + ARINC 429 modules [3][4].
Technologies
- Software-selectable Rx/Tx channels and baud rates [2].
- Related protocols on the same hardware: ARINC 419, 575, 573 and 717 on Alta PMC-A429 [2].
- Error injection and detection on AIM ARINC 429 modules [1].
How to select equipment
- Count Rx and Tx channels: Alta PCIe4L-A429 offers 4–30 channels (up to 16 shared Rx/Tx plus 14 Rx) [3].
- Choose the host: desktop PC, PXI chassis, laptop via USB/Thunderbolt, or Ethernet [3].
- Check if you also need ARINC 717 flight-data or MIL-STD-1553 on the same card [2][3].
Customer types
- Avionics component shops
- Integration and test laboratories
- Flight-test and data-acquisition teams
Relevant standards
- ARINC 429 (ARINC/SAE-ITC) – digital information transfer system [1].
- ARINC 717 – flight data acquisition, supported on some ARINC 429 cards [2].
