BUILDING BRIDGES: LINKING CAIS TO ETHERNET AND OTHER PROTOCOLS

International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 20-23, 2003 / Riviera Hotel and Convention Center, Las Vegas, Nevada / The technologies used for flight test are evolving. Trusted standards like CAIS and
IRIG106 PCM are giving way to new “trusted standards” (and proven
technologies/protocols) found in telecommunication and networking such as Ethernet,
fiber channel, TCP/IP, UDP, ATM and so on.
Currently there is $100Ms+ invested in CAIS and IRIG compliant equipment in the
world. A key challenge in this evolution is to provide a reliable solution that allows the
FTI engineer to immediately take advantage of these advanced technologies while
protecting prior investment in equipment, knowledge, and resources during this
transition. This paper presents an analysis of how to protect existing assets while still
leveraging the power of the latest technologies. It looks at the characteristics of a
“bridge” system, and suggests solutions for merging and linking data from and to
different transmission protocols using data synchronization and deterministic data
management cycles.
