  • Page 10: Introduction

    1. INTRODUCTION This manual is the user’s guide for the LP1553-5 and the LE1553-5; hereafter, both products will be referred to generically as an Lx1553-5. This guide introduces the Lx1553-5, describes the installation process, references programming alternatives, and discusses special Lx1553-5 features. 1.1 Lx1553-5 Overview The Lx1553-5 is either a PCI (LP1553-5) or PCI Express (LE1553-5) compliant interface card capable of communicating over MIL-STD-1553 avionics...

  • Page 11: Product Configurations

    INTRODUCTION 1.2 Product Configurations The Lx1553-5 offers many configurations with varying connectors, numbers of channels, and levels of functionality. Table 1.1 shows the Lx1553-5 models and their respective configurations.

  • Page 14: Installation

    2. INSTALLATION This Chapter explains the procedures for installing your Lx1553-5. There are five steps to installation: Step 1: Set the Hardware Configuration Step 2: Insert the Card into the Computer Step 3: Install the Driver Software Step 4: Set the Card Number and Test the Installation Step 5: Connect to the MIL-STD-1553 Databus(es) After the installation steps are completed, the Lx1553-5 device is ready to communicate on the MIL-STD-1553 databus(es).

  • Page 15: Step 2: Insert The Card Into The Computer

    INSTALLATION The Lx1553-5/1ST and Lx1553-5/1MT models have twinax connectors which use the jumpers shown in Figure 2.2 to select the coupling method. Note: These jumpers should only be used on twinax connector models. DIRA DIRA DIRA DIRA DIRB DIRB DIRB DIRB XFRA XFRA...

  • Page 16: Step 4: Set The Card Number And Test The Installation

    You must set a card number on the controlling computer for software to identify the Lx1553-5. Since many Ballard BTIDriver™-compliant hardware devices (e.g., Lx1553-5) can be concurrently connected to the same computer, software running on a given computer uses a unique card number to designate which hardware device is being accessed.

  • Page 18: Operation

    Because CoPilot can host multiple channels in the same project, it is the ideal tool for operating Lx1553-5 devices. CoPilot can be purchased separately or with an Lx1553-5 device. For more information or a free evaluation copy, call Ballard at (800) 829-1553. In addition, you can learn more about the latest version of CoPilot at www.ballardtech.com.

  • Page 19: User Developed Software

    Detailed information about API functions and instructions on programming for the Lx1553-5 are found in the MIL-STD-1553 Programming Manual for BTIDriver- Compliant Devices. You can use this manual to learn how to create custom applications for any of Ballard Technology’s BTIDriver-compliant interface products. Lx1553-5 User’s Manual...

  • Page 20: Troubleshooting Led Indicators

    4. TROUBLESHOOTING 4.1 LED Indicators There are two LEDs on the front panel. The red LED and the green LED can be controlled via software using the API functions BTICard_ExtStatusLEDWr() and BTICard_ExtLEDWr() repectively. For more information on this function, consult the MIL-STD-1553 Programming Manual for BTIDriver-compliant Devices API programming manual.

  • Page 22: Lx1553-5 Features

    This section describes the interfaces and features available on the Lx1553-5. If you need more information than what is presented here, please contact Customer Service at Ballard Technology for assistance (see Section 1.5). 5.1 PCI/PCIe Bus The LP1553-5 uses the industry standard PLX Technology’s PCI 9056 which interfaces the protocol circuitry to the PCI bus.

  • Page 23: Avionics Discretes, Syncs, And Triggers

    LX1553-5 FEATURES 5.3 Avionics Discretes, Syncs, and Triggers The Lx1553-5 has avionics shunt discretes which can be used to signal and detect events, determine status, and to drive loads. Discretes may also be used as general purpose digital I/O and have a wide range of avionics and general- purpose applications.

  • Page 24: Input Considerations

    Usage: Some Lx1553-5 discrete inputs can be configured as input triggers using Ballard’s BTIDriver API. Once the input has been configured as a trigger it may no longer be used as a discrete input. Refer to Section 5.3.5 for additional information.

  • Page 25: Discrete Input/Output Usage

    BTIDriver software manuals for more information on programming these discretes and their use as syncs and triggers. Ballard Technology’s BTIDriver API provides functions to read and write the discretes. The parameter dionum in the API functions (BTICard_ExtDIORd and BTICard_ExtDIOWr) specifies which discrete to read or write.

  • Page 26: Irig Timer

    LX1553-5 FEATURES Table 5.2 below shows the correlation between dionum and its hardware reference designator. The last column shows how these discretes are used as trigger inputs and sync outputs in the BTIDriver API functions. Hardware Reference dionum usage DIO0 Trigger A DIO1 Trigger B...

    (Trompeter PN PL75-29). Appropriate shields, strain-reliefs, and backshells are also required. 6.3 Standard Cables Ballard Technology sells a number of different cables that are useful for wiring to Lx1553-5 products. 6.3.1 16035 cable assembly: LFH to LFH This is a three-foot-long straight-through cable with 60-pin male LFH plugs on both ends.

  • Page 31: Table 6.2-Twinax Wiring On Mil-Std-1553 Cable Assemblies

    CONNECTOR INFORMATION These four cables in Table 6.1 provide a combination of one or two channels of MIL-STD-1553 twinax connections with and without an auxiliary D-sub connector. The twinax connections are made with a PL-75 connector for each of the transformer coupled MIL-STD-1553 buses. All channels are dual redundant, so there are either two or four twinax cables with PL-75s on each assembly.
