Dual-redundant MIL-STD-1553 I/O

INTRODUCTION

As a leading manufacturer of smart function modules, NAI offers over 100 different modules that cover a wide range of I/O, measurement and simulation, communications, Ethernet switch, and SBC functions. Our CM5 combination module offers users the functionality of two COSA® smart function modules in one physical module. Based on NAI’s FTB (MIL-STD-1553B) and DT4 modules, the CM8 provides two MIL-STD- 1553B, Notice 2 compliant interface channels, and twelve channels of discrete I/O that are programmable for either input or output per channel. This user manual is designed to help you get the most out of our CM5 smart function module.

CM5 Overview

NAI’s CM8 module offers a wide range of features designed to suit a variety of system requirements, including:

MIL-STD-1553B (FTB Module-Type) Features

Independent Dual-Redundant Channels: The FTB function provides two dual-redundant MIL-STD-1553B interface channels. Each channel can be configured to act as a Bus Controller (BC), Remote Terminal (RT), Bus Monitor (BM), or RT/BM combined mode. This flexibility allows for versatile operation and redundancy in critical systems.

Assisted Mode (AM): The FTB function utilizes a built-in secondary (ARM) processor dedicated to 'assisting' the movement of 1553 messages from the 1553 device to host interface, minimizing host CPU activity (reads & writes to device), reducing application memory required on the host, and improving data transfer time between 1553 device and host interface while also reducing data transfer delays.

Ample On-Board Memory: With a substantial 64K words of on-board memory per channel, this function offers ample storage capacity for data and messages, facilitating efficient data handling and processing.

IP-Core Register Compatibility: Users familiar with the DDC™ family of devices will appreciate that the function’s IP-core registers are compatible with these devices. This compatibility ensures seamless integration into existing systems and reduces the learning curve for engineers already familiar with DDC™ products.

Message Retry Policy: The FTB function provides the ability to configure and set a message retry policy, proving invaluable in ensuring data integrity and system reliability, particularly in environments where communication errors may occur.

Message Scheduling Capability: This feature allows precise timing and coordination of messages, making it ideal for applications that require synchronized data exchange.

Asynchronous Message Capability: The FTB function supports asynchronous messaging, which is crucial for real-time systems where data needs to be transmitted and received without fixed time intervals. This feature ensures efficient communication in dynamic environments.

Message FIFO Capability: The inclusion of a message FIFO (First-In-First-Out) capability enhances data management and flow control. Users can optimize data handling and prioritize messages as needed, contributing to system efficiency.

Discrete I/O (DT4 Module-Type) Features

24 Channels of Programmable Discrete Input/Output: The DT4 module features 12 channels programmable for either discrete input or output that provide the following:

  • Input - voltage or contact sensing with programmable, pull-up/pull-down current sources, eliminating the need for external resistors or mechanical jumpers.

  • Output - programmable current source (high-side), sink (low-side) or push-pull switching up to 500 mA per channel from an applied 3- 60V external VCC source (or sink to ISO-GND).

Current Sharing: The module enables current sharing* by connecting multiple outputs in parallel, capable of sinking or sourcing up to 2A per bank, enhancing your system’s capacity and reliability.

(*) Current Share: The maximum output load per-channel is ±0.5A. Channels can be connected and operated in parallel to provide > 0.5A to act as a single channel. The load current between paralleled channels cannot be effectively characterized and is not expected to be equal due to factors including:

Channel/bank position, module position, motherboard/system platform configuration, operating temperature range including external application/configuration influences (e.g., external cabling).

Therefore, when operating in shared current (parallel channel) configuration, it is recommended to de-rate the per-channel maximum current output to at least 66% (or 333 mA/channel) to ensure that no single channel is overburdened by handling most of the load current.

For example: If the maximum continuous load current is expected to be 1A: 1/0.33 ≅ 3 channels (minimum).

Inrush Current Handling: The DT4 module can efficiently handle high inrush current loads, such as connecting two #327 incandescent lamps in parallel, without compromising performance.

Dual Turn-On Application Support: The module supports 'dual turn-on' applications, such as dual series 'key' missile launch control, providing seamless control in critical operations.

Debounce Circuitry: Programmable debounce circuitry with selectable time delay eliminates false signals caused by relay contact bounce, ensuring accurate data acquisition.

Background Built-In-Test (BIT): All channels have continuous background Built-In-Test (BIT), which provides real-time channel health to ensure reliable operation in mission-critical systems. This feature runs in the background and is transparent in normal operations.

Input Diagnostics: The DT4 module can sense broken input connections and detect if inputs are shorted to +V or ground, allowing for early detection and troubleshooting.

Voltage and Current Readings: The module offers the ability to read I/O voltage and output current, facilitating improved diagnostics and load status identification (indicates if load is connected).

Enhanced Functionality Features: In addition to offering the same functionality as the DT1 standard function (SF) module, the DT4 includes the following enhanced features:

  • Enhanced Input Mode - Pulse Measurements, Transition Timestamps, Transition Counters, Period Measurement, and Frequency Measurement.

  • Enhanced Output Mode - PWM Output and Pattern Generator Output.

MIL-STD-1553B

The MIL-STD-1553B communications function is like the standard FTB communications function module (FTB may be used as a reference/guide within the context of this document).

Principle of Operation

The CM8 provides (2) channels of dual-redundant MIL-STD-1553B communication buses (FTB module-type).MIL-STD-1553 is a military standard that defines the characteristic for a Digital Time Division Command/Response Multiplexed Data Bus. The 1553 data bus is a dual-redundant, bi-directional, Manchester II encoded data bus with a high bit error reliability. It is used commonly for both military and civilian applications in avionics, aircraft and spacecraft data handling.

The MIL-STD-1553 Data Bus is defined as a twisted shielded pair transmission line consisting of the main bus and a number of stubs. There is one stub for each remote terminal connected to the bus. The main bus is terminated at each end with a resistance equal to the cable’s characteristic impedance (± 2%). This termination makes the data bus behave electrically like an infinite transmission line. Stubs, which are added to the main bus to connect the terminals, provide “local” loads, and produce impedance mismatch where added. This mismatch, if not properly controlled, produces electrical reflections and degrades the performance of the main bus. Table 2 provides a summary of the MIL-STD-1553 Transmission Media characteristics.

Each 1553 channel on the FTA-FTF module employs a Sital Technology BRM1553D core, which is based on Sital’s proven 1553 IP cores, with DDC® Enhanced Mini-Ace® compatible interface. The core may operate in Bus Controller (BC), Remote Terminal (RT), Bus Monitor (BM) or RT/BM combined mode.

Bus Controller

The Bus Controller (BC) provides data flow control for all transmissions on the bus. In addition to initiating all data transfers, the BC must transmit, receive, and coordinate the transfer of information on the data bus. All information is communicated in command/response mode – the BC sends a command to the RTs, which reply with a response, unless the message is BC→broadcast receive message, in which case, there will be no RT response.

Remote Terminal

The Remote Terminal (RT) is a device designed to interface various subsystems with the 1553 data bus. The RT receives and decodes commands from the BC, detects any errors and reacts to those errors. The RT must be able to properly handle both protocol errors (missing data, extra words, etc.) and electrical errors (waveform distortion, rise time violations, etc.). RT characteristics include:

  • Up to 31 Remote Terminals can be connected to the data bus

  • Each Remote Terminal can have 31 Sub addresses, where SA 0 and SA 31 signify a Mode code message. In which case the data word count would be the Mode Code number.

  • No Remote Terminal shall speak unless spoken to first by the Bus Controller and specifically commanded to transmit.

Bus Monitor

The Bus Monitor (BM) listens to all messages on the data bus and records selected activities. The BM is a passive device that collects data for real-time or post capture analysis. The BM can store all or portions of traffic on the bus, including electrical and protocol errors. BMs are primarily used for instrumentation and data bus testing.

MIL-STD-1553 Protocol

MIL-STD-1553 data bus system consists of a Bus Controller (BC) controlling multiple Remote Terminals (RT) all connected by a data bus providing a single data path between the Bus Controller and all the associated Remote Terminals. There may also be one or more Bus Monitors (BM); however, Bus Monitors are specifically not allowed to take part in data transfers and are only used to capture or record data for analysis.

Message Formats

The following transactions are allowed between the BC and a specific RT:

  1. BC to RT Transfer - The Bus Controller sends one 16-bit receive command word, immediately followed by 1 to 32 16-bit data words. The selected Remote Terminal then sends a single 16-bit Status word

  2. RT to BC Transfer - The Bus Controller sends one transmit command word to a Remote Terminal. The Remote Terminal then sends a single Status word, immediately followed by 1 to 32 data words.

  3. Mode Command Without Data Word (Transmit) - The Bus Controller sends one command word with a Sub-address of 0 or 31 signifying a Mode Code type command. The Remote Terminal responds with a Status word

  4. Mode Command with Data Word (Transmit) - The Bus Controller sends one command word with a Sub-address of 0 or 31 signifying a Mode Code type command. The Remote Terminal responds with a Status word immediately followed by a single Data word

  5. Mode Command with Data Word (Receive) - The Bus Controller sends one command word with a Sub-address of 0 or 31 signifying a Mode Code type command immediately followed by a single data word. The Remote Terminal responds with a Status word

The following transaction is allowed between the BC and a pair of RTs:

  1. RT to RT Transfers - The Bus Controller sends out one receive command word immediately followed by one transmit command word. The transmitting Remote Terminal sends a Status word to the BC, immediately followed by 1 to 32 data words to the receiving RT. The receiving Terminal then sends its Status word to the BC.

The following are broadcast transactions that are allowed between the BC and all capable RTs:

  1. BC to RT(s) Transfers - The Bus Controller sends one receive command word with a Terminal address of 31 signifying a broadcast type command, immediately followed by 0 to 32 data words. All Remote Terminals will accept the data but will not respond back to the BC.

  2. RT to RT(s) Transfers - The Bus Controller sends out one receive command word with a Terminal address of 31 signifying a broadcast type command, immediately followed by one transmit command. The transmitting Remote Terminal sends a Status word immediately followed by 1 to 32 data words to all other RT(s). All Remote Terminals will accept the data but will not respond back to the BC.

  3. Mode Code without Data Word (Broadcast) - The Bus Controller sends one command word with a Terminal address of 31 signifying a broadcast type command and a sub-address of 0 or 31 signifying a Mode Code type command. No Remote Terminals will respond back to the BC.

  4. Mode Code with Data Word (Broadcast) - The Bus Controller sends one command word with a Terminal address of 31 signifying a broadcast type command and a sub-address of 0 or 31 signifying a Mode Code type command, immediately followed by one Data word, if it is an Rx Mode code. No Remote Terminals will respond.

Message Components

The following are three components that make up the 1553 messages:

  • Command Word

  • Data Word

  • Status Word

Each word type is 20 bits in length. The first 3 bits are used as a synchronization field, thereby allowing the decode clock to re-sync at the beginning of each new word. The next 16 bits are the information field. The last bit is the parity bit. Parity is based on odd parity for the single word.

Command Word

The Command Word specifies the function that the Remote Terminal is to perform.

The RT Address field states which unique remote terminal the command is intended for (no two terminals may have the same address). Note the address of 0x00 (00000b) is a valid address, and the address 0x1F (11111b) is always reserved as a broadcast address. The maximum number of terminals the data bus can support is 31.

The Transmit/Receive bit defines the direction of information flow and is always from the point of view of the Remote Terminal. A transmit command (logic 1) indicates that the Remote Terminal is to transmit data, while a receive command (logic 0) indicates that the Remote Terminal is going to receive data

The Sub-Address/Mode Code and Word Count/Mode Code fields are defined as follows:

Sub-Address/Mode Command Field

Word Count/Mode Code Field

0x00 (00000b) or 0x1F (11111b) indicates Mode Code Command

Mode Code number to be performed

0x01 (00001b) to 0x1E (11110b) indicates the Sub-Address 1 to Sub-Address 30

Word Count - note 0x00 (00000b) is decoded as 32 data words

Data Word

The Data Word contains the actual information that is being transferred within a message. Data Words can be transmitted by either a Remote Terminal (Transmit command) or a Bus Controller (Receive command).

Status Word

When the Remote Terminal receives a message, it will respond with a Status Word. The Status Word is used to convey to the Bus Controller whether a message was properly received or to convey the state of the Remote Terminal (i.e., service request, busy, etc.).

The RT Address in the Status Word should match the RT Address within the Command Word that the Remote Terminal received. With a RT-RT Transfer message, the RT address within either Status Word received (Rx or Tx), should match the RT address within the corresponding Command word sent (Rx or Tx)

Status Bit

Description

Message Error (Bit 9)

This bit is set by the Remote Terminal upon detection of an error in the message or upon detection of an invalid message (i.e. Illegal Command). The error may occur in any of the Data Words within the message. When the terminal detects an error and sets this bit, none of the data received within the message is used.

Instrumentation (Bit 10)

This bit is always set to logic 0.

Service Request (Bit 11)

This bit is set to a logic 1 by the subsystem if servicing is needed. This bit is typically used when the Bus Controller is “polling” terminals to determine if they require processing.

Broadcast Command Received (Bit 15)

This bit indicates that the Remote Terminal received a valid broadcast command. On receiving a valid broadcast command, the Remote Terminal sets this bit to logic 1 and suppresses the transmission of its Status Word. The Bus Controller may issue a Transmit Status Word or Transmit Last Command Word Mode Code to determine if the Remote Terminal received the message properly.

Busy (Bit 16)

This bit indicates to the Bus Controller that the Remote Terminal is unable to move data between the Remote Terminal and the Sub-system in compliance to a command from the Bus Controller. In the earlier days of 1553, the Busy bit was required because many subsystem interfaces (analog, synchros, etc.) were much slower compared to the speed of the multiplex data bus. So instead of losing data, a terminal was able to set the Busy bit indicating to the Bus Controller to try again later. As new systems have been developed, the need for the busy bit has been reduced.

Subsystem Flag (Bit 17)

This bit provides “health” data regarding the subsystems to which the Remote Terminal is connected. Multiple subsystems may logically “OR” their bits together to form a composite health indicator.

Dynamic Bus Control Acceptance Bit (Bit 19)

This bit informs the Bus Controller that the Remote Terminal has received the Dynamic Bus Control Mode Code and has accepted control of the bus. The Remote Terminal, on transmitting its status word, becomes the Bus Controller. The Bus Controller, on receiving the status word from the Remote Terminal with this bit set, ceases to function as the Bus Controller and may become a Remote Terminal or Bus Monitor.

Terminal Flag (Bit 20)

This bit informs the Bus Controller of a fault or failure within the Remote Terminal. A logic 1 indicates a fault condition.

External RT Address and Auto Start-up Modes

External discrete signals are available to support “hardwired” RT Address and configuration as well as start-up modes for MIL-STD-1760A.

External RT Address

The 1553 modules are completely software RT Address programmable and configurable. Notice 2 of the MIL-STD-1553 standard requires that the Remote Terminal address be wire-programmable from an external I/O connector, and the Remote Terminal perform an odd parity test upon on the wired terminal address. An open circuit on an address line is detected as a logic “1” and connecting the address line to ground is detected as a logic “0”. The 1553 modules provided the ability to externally set the RT Address and Parity via discrete signals (CHx-RT-ADDR (0-4) and CHx- PARITY). These discrete signals are considered additional and optional based on specific application requirements. The discrete signals are single-ended and System-GND referenced. Because of the platform (module-thru-board) available physical pin limitations, only one set of discrete signals are provided for a channel (CH) pair (channel pair 1 = CH1, CH2 and channel pair 2 = CH3, CH4). The discrete pins re provided for the odd-numbered channel, which will use these signals directly. The even channel of the channel pair will use these same pins, but the RT addressing for the even channel will be set as a “hard +1” offset from the odd-channel discrete pattern.

For example:

If the CH1 external pins are either grounded or left open to yield:

CH1-RT-ADDR0-4 pins + Parity pin = (MSB) 01101 (LSB) + 0 (defined as Odd Parity) =0xD (13d)

and the hard offset for CH2 is “1” (0x1)

then, the CH1 RT address is 0xD (13d) (wired) and the CH2 RT address will be 0xE (14d) (wired plus the hard offset).

DISCRETE SIGNAL PIN

DESCRIPTION (Grounding a pin = “0”, leaving a pin open = “1”. Unit signal pins are defaulted “open = 1”)

CHx-RT-ADDR0 thru CHx-RT-ADDR4

Five (5) External RT address signal pins, binary bit-weighted (ADDR0=LSB); for applying a “hardwire” RT address (special applications only). MSB - (…​ADDR4, …​ADDR3, …​ADDR2, …​ADDR1, …​ADDR0) - LSB

CHx-PARITY

Used in conjunction with external RT address signal pins. A single bit that complements the parity of CHx-RT-ADDR wire to odd parity. If the wrong parity is detected by core, only Broadcast commands would be valid for the core. If not masked, an interrupt will be generated in the event of wrong parity.

Start-up Modes

In addition to supporting external RT Addressing, the 1553 modules provide discrete signals (CHx-STANDARD and CHx-MODE0) to support MIL-STD-1760 auto start-up modes.

DISCRETE SIGNAL PIN

DESCRIPTION (Grounding a pin = “0”, leaving a pin open = “1”. Unit signal pins are defaulted “open = 1”)

CHx-STANDARD

'1' - Support for MIL-STD-1760. Will power up as RT with Busy bit set.

'0' - Powers up as inactive BC or Idle.

CHx-MODE0

'1' - Disables the BC mode even if software enables BC.

'0' - BC mode controlled by software.

Assisted Mode (AM)

The FTA-FTF 1553 modules have been improved to include the “Assisted Mode (AM)” feature.

In the legacy FT1-FT6 modules, the 1553 messages are fetched from the 1553 device by accessing device registers directly from the host application as shown in Figure 1. The dotted lines indicate read/write access over the bus interface. The bus interface in some cases may be relatively “slow” (ex. Ethernet interface). In this design, four bus accesses are required from the host to fetch one new 1553 message. The number of accesses increases proportionately with the number of 1553 messages to fetch from the 1553 device.

CM5img4

Figure 1. Legacy FT1-FT6 Message Fetch Processing

The FTA-FTF 1553 modules utilize the secondary (ARM) processor built into the module that is dedicated for the purpose of “assisting” the movement of 1553 messages from the 1553 device to the host interface. This is made possible through a system of FIFOs that carry command and response messages to and from the host CPU to a bare metal application running on the secondary processor (refer to Diagram B in Figure 2). In addition, these modules have the option of funneling all 1553 messages (per channel) to a 4k byte Message FIFO (refer to Diagram A in Figure 2) that is accessible from the host.

CM5img5

Figure 2. AM FIFO and Bus Access

In Figure 2, the dotted lines indicate slower bus read/write accesses (PCI, Ethernet) whereas the solid lines indicate fast bus accesses. When the Message FIFO is utilized (Diagram A), the Message FIFO is filled as new 1553 messages arrive. Moving the 1553 messages from the Message FIFO to the Host Processor requires 2 “slower” bus accesses to fetch all the new 1553 messages that are in the Message FIFO.

If the Message FIFO is not utilized (Diagram B only), for example to fully support DDC API compatibility, 2 writes and at least 2 reads via the “slower” bus is required to fetch one new 1553 message. The write access to the Command FIFO initiates the transfer of 1553 messages from the device to the Response FIFO and when the transfer is complete, the host can read the Response FIFO. In DDC API compatibility mode, the benefits of the “assisted” design provide significantly improved response times compared to the legacy FT module(s), especially with bulk 1553 transfers.

Figure 3 and Table 3 depict the latent time (time required for 1553 message(s) transfer from 1553 device to host memory when initiated by the host CPU) as a function of the number of 1553 messages being transferred. The three candidates for comparison are (1) Assisted Module running in Message FIFO Mode, (2) Assisted Module running in Standard Mode and (3) the Non-Assisted (Legacy) FT Module.

The benefits of this approach include:

  2. Reduced host memory footprint (less application memory required on the host).

  3. Lower latency from 1553 bus to host memory.

Status and Interrupts

The FTB function of the combination module provide registers that indicate faults or events. Refer to “Status and Interrupts Module Manual” for the Principle of Operation description.

Module Common Registers

The FTB function of the combination module includes module common registers that provide access to module-level bare metal/FPGA revisions and compile times, unique serial number information, and temperature/voltage/current monitoring. Refer to “Module Common Registers Module Manual” for detailed information.

Register Descriptions

The register descriptions provide the register name, Type, Data Range, Read or Write information, Initialized Value, a description of the function and, in most cases, a data table.

Assisted Mode Registers

The Assisted Mode registers are comprised of registers that support the AM Command and AM 1553 Message FIFOs

AM Commands Registers

The registers associated with the AM Commands are divided into the following:

  • Command FIFO Management (FIFO Buffer, FIFO Count, FIFO Update)

  • Response FIFO Management (FIFO Buffer, FIFO Count)

The Command FIFO registers are used by the host to send commands to the AM processor to configure and operate the 1553 IP core. For every command sent from the host processor to the AM processor, the AM processor responds with a message that is sent to the host processor via the Response FIFO Buffer. The content of the response message will vary depending on the command and may contain configuration information, status information or 1553 data.

AM Command FIFO Buffer

Function: Used to communicate with the 1553 core via the AM (secondary) processor.

Type: unsigned binary word (32-bit)

Data Range: 0x0000 0000 to 0xFFFF FFFF

Read/Write: W

Initialized Value: 0

Operational Settings: The host writes a command message to the AM Command FIFO Buffer and it is read out by the secondary processor. The secondary processor acts on the 1553 core based on the command that was read out. The AM processor will be unaware any new command messages in the AM Command FIFO Buffer until an update is performed by writing a '1' to the AM Command FIFO Update register.

AM Command FIFO Count

Function: This register contains the value representing the number of 32-bit words that are currently loaded in the AM Command FIFO Buffer.

Type: unsigned binary word (32-bit)

Data Range: 0x0000 0000 to 0xFFFF FFFF

Read/Write: R

Initialized Value: 0

Operational Settings: When the host writes a command message to the AM Command FIFO Buffer, the value of the AM Command FIFO Count represents the number of 32-bit words contained in the command message. Once the message is fully read out by the AM processor, the AM Command FIFO Count goes to zero.

AM Command FIFO Update

Function: This register is used to update the AM Command FIFO count as it is presented to the AM processor. The purpose of this register is to ensure that the AM Command FIFO Buffer does not present incomplete command messages to the AM processor.

Type: unsigned binary word (32-bit)

Data Range: 0x0000 0000 to 0x0000 0001

Read/Write: W

Initialized Value: 0

Operational Settings: The user should write a '1' to this register to update the AM Command FIFO count as it is seen from the AM processor. The proper way to handle sending commands to the AM processor is to write a full command message to the AM Command FIFO Buffer, then update the count by writing a '1' to the AM Command FIFO Update register.

AM Response FIFO Buffer

Function: Used by the AM (secondary) processor to send response messages to the host.

Type: unsigned binary word (32-bit)

Data Range: 0x0000 0000 to 0xFFFF FFFF

Read/Write: R

Initialized Value: 0

Operational Settings: After the host writes a valid command message to the AM Command FIFO Buffer and it is read out by the AM processor, the AM processor acts on the 1553 core based on the command type. Once the action is completed, the AM processor sends a response to the host processor via the AM Response FIFO Buffer.

AM Response FIFO Count

Function: This register contains the value that represents the number of 32-bit words that are present in the AM Response FIFO Buffer.

Type: unsigned binary word (32-bit)

Data Range: 0x0000 0000 to 0xFFFF FFFF

Read/Write: R

Initialized Value: 0

Operational Settings: When a command is sent from the host to the AM processor and it completes the commanded task, it loads the AM Response FIFO with a response message and the AM Response FIFO Count is updated with the number of 32-bit words that are contained in the response message. Once the host reads out the full response message from the AM Response FIFO Buffer, the AM Response FIFO Count will read zero.

AM 1553 Message FIFO Registers

The Message FIFO Management registers consists of the FIFO Buffer, FIFO Count, FIFO Clear command, and the FIFO Threshold which specify threshold associated with for the “1553 Message FIFO Almost Full” status bits in the Channel Status register.

AM 1553 Message FIFO Buffer

Function: When the channel is operating in Message FIFO mode, 1553 messages are stored in the 1553 Message FIFO Buffer.

Type: unsigned binary word (32-bit)

Data Range: 0x0000 0000 to 0xFFFF FFFF

Read/Write: R

Initialized Value: 0

Operational Settings: When the channel is configured for Message FIFO mode, new 1553 messages (comprising 1553 data words, 1553 status words, timestamp and message status information) are stored in the 1553 Message FIFO Buffer and the host can perform a block read on this register to read out a chain of 1553 messages in a single transaction. The number of 32-bit words to read out of the 1553 Message FIFO Buffer is reported in the 1553 Message FIFO Count register. Refer to Appendix A - 1553 Receive Message FIFO to decode the single 1553 message or a chain of 1553 messages read from this buffer.

AM 1553 Message FIFO Count

Function: While the channel is operating in Message FIFO mode, the number of 32-bit words in the 1553 Message FIFO Buffer is reported in this register.

Type: unsigned binary word (32-bit)

Data Range: 0x0000 0000 to 0xFFFF FFFF

Read/Write: R

Initialized Value: 0

Operational Settings: When the channel is configured for Message FIFO mode, new 1553 messages (comprising 1553 data words, 1553 status words, timestamp, and message status information) are stored in the 1553 Message FIFO Buffer. The 32-bit count of a 1553 message can vary depending on the 1553 message type and 1553 data payload size. This register provides the count of 32-bit words that are currently present in the 1553 Message FIFO Buffer instead of providing the count of 1553 messages. When retrieving data from the 1553 Message FIFO Buffer, use the 1553 Message FIFO Count to obtain all 1553 messages and refer to Appendix A - 1553 Receive Message FIFO to decode 1553 messages.

AM 1553 Message FIFO Clear

Function: When the channel is operating in Message FIFO mode, this register is used to clear the 1553 Message FIFO Buffer.

Type: unsigned binary word (32-bit)

Data Range: 0x0000 0000 to 0xFFFF FFFF

Read/Write: W

Initialized Value: 0

Operational Settings: Write a '1' to this register to clear the 1553 Message FIFO Buffer. Once the buffer is cleared, the 1553 Message FIFO Count register should read zero.

AM 1553 Message FIFO Threshold

Function: Set the “1553 Message FIFO Almost Full” status threshold value.

Type: unsigned binary word (32-bit)

Data Range: 1 to 1002

Read/Write: R/W

Initialized Value: 512

Operational Settings: This register sets the “1553 Message FIFO Almost Full” threshold such that when the number of 32-bit words reach or surpass the threshold value, the 1553 Message FIFO Almost Full status bit will report a '1'. If interrupts are enabled for this status bit, an interrupt will be generated when the number of 32-bit words reach or surpass the threshold value.

Auxiliary Registers

Module Common Registers

Refer to “Module Common Registers Module Manual” for the register descriptions.

Status and Interrupt Registers

The registers may be set for any or all channels and will latch if a transition is detected on a channel or channels. Each channel(s) will remain latched until the channel is cleared. Multiple channels may be cleared simultaneously, if desired. Each channel bit in the register is polled for a read status. Any subsequent channel(s) transition, if detected, will propagate through to be read (rolling-latch).

Once the status register has been read, the act of writing a 1 back to the applicable status register to any specific bit (channel) location (bit mapped per channel), will “clear” the bit (set the bit to 0) if the actual interruptible event condition has cleared. If the interruptible condition “event” is still persistent while clearing, this may retrigger the interrupt.

There is a corresponding Interrupt Enable and vector associated with each “Latched” Status. Each status type may be “polled” (at any time) or is “interruptible” when interrupts are enabled, and the associated Interrupt Service Routine (ISR) vectors are programmed accordingly. When programmed for “interruptible” status, interrupts are typically generated and flagged with the programmed vector available as data. The host or single board computer (SBC) typically services the interrupt by a general or specific ISR, which reads the (typically) unique programmed vector (identifier of which status generated the interrupt), reads the associated status register to determine which channel in the status register was “flagged” and then “clears” the status register. This essentially resets the interrupt mechanism, which is now ready to be triggered by the next status register detected event “flag”. “Latched Status” will trigger on either “sense on edge” or “sense on level” based on the settings of the associated Set Edge/Level Interrupt register. Sense on “edge” requires a change from low to high state to trigger the status detection, while sense on “level” is independent of the previous state. Unless otherwise specified, all status or fault indications are bit set per channel.

BIT Status

There are four registers associated with the BIT Status: Dynamic, Latched, Interrupt Enable, and Set Edge/Level Interrupt.

Function: Sets the corresponding bit associated with the event type. There are separate registers for each channel.

Type: unsigned binary word (32-bit)

Range: 0 to 0x0000 001F

Read/Write: R (Dynamic), R/W (Latched, Interrupt Enable, Edge/Level Interrupt)

Initialized Value: N/A

Interrupt Vector and Steering

When interrupts are enabled, the interrupt vector associated with the specific interrupt can be programmed (typically with a unique number/identifier) such that it can be utilized in the Interrupt Service Routine (ISR) to identify the type of interrupt. When an interrupt occurs, the contents of the Interrupt Vector registers is reported as part of the interrupt mechanism.

In addition to specifying the interrupt vector, the interrupt can be directed (“steered”) to the native bus or to the application running on the onboard ARM processor.

Note
the Interrupt Vector and Interrupt Steering registers are mapped to the Motherboard Common Memory and these registers are associated with the Module Slot position (refer to Function Register Map).

Function Register Map

Key:

Bold Italic = Configuration/Control

Bold Underline = State/Count/Status

*When an event is detected, the bit associated with the event is set in this register and will remain set until the user clears the event bit. Clearing the bit requires writing a 1 back to the specific bit that was set when read (i.e., write-1-to-clear, writing a “1” to a bit set to “1” will set the bit to “0).

DISCRETE I/O

The Discrete I/O communications function is like the standard DT4 communications function module (DT4 may be used as a reference/guide within the context of this document).

Principle of Operation

The CM8 provides up to (12) channels of individual digital I/O (DT4 module-type) with BIT fault detection, which enables flagging of non-compliant outputs or inconsistent input readings between dual input measurements.

When channels are programmed as inputs, they can be used for either voltage or contact sensing. Channels set for contact sensing (e.g., sensing a relay contact position; OPEN-CLOSED) can be configured with a programmable “pull-up” or “pull-down” (current source or sink) which effectively provides the proper voltage level change to sense the open state of the contact. This unique design eliminates the need for external resistors or mechanical jumpers. Instead, this design offers a current source/sink (in banks of 6 channels) that the user programs to a desired current (0-5 mA) level.

When programmed as outputs, each channel can be set for high-side (current-source), low-side (current-sink) or push-pull (current-source-sink) operation. The load impedance determines the delivered switched output current drive - up to 500 mA per channel. Diode clamping is provided (useful for inductive loads, such as relays) and thermal protection.

Overcurrent protection is implemented using current sensing technology. When the current exceeds a programmed threshold of 650 mA steady-state, or a higher short duration, the overcurrent/short-circuit protection is triggered, shutting down the output drivers for safety. The overcurrent fault status will be indicated for the affected channels and will require a reset operation to restore output. To reset this condition, a reset command needs to be issued to the Overcurrent Reset register, which will restore drive output and allow the latched status to be reset. This is separate from the reset for the Overcurrent Interrupt Enable register on this module. It is recommended that a reset command is done whenever status is cleared to avoid a non-apparent output reset condition.

The 12 channels are configured as 2 banks of 6 channels. Each bank is provided with a separate external input VCC and a ground return (GND) pin. The GND pins are common within the module but are isolated from system (power) GND.

Operational requirements/assumptions:

  • An external source VCC supply must be wired for proper:

    • Output operation as a current source

    • Input operation when requiring a programmed pull-up current (i.e., programmed “pull-up” for input contact sense; OPEN/GND detect/state change).

  • An external source Ground/Return must be wired for all I/O configurations. The Ground/Return must be the input signal or the load current sink ground/reference.

Input/Output Interface

Each channel can be configured as an input or one of three types of outputs.

Output

When configured as an output, the interface can act as a “High-Side”, “Low-Side” or “Push-Pull” drive, providing up to 500 mA per channel or 1 A when two channels are connected in parallel. The total output per module is 8 A (2 A per bank).

Note
Maximum source current 'rules' for rear I/O connectors still apply - see specifications.
Input

When configured as an input, output drivers are disabled. The I/O interface can act as a constant current source, current sink or voltage sensing circuit. For contact sensing, each channel may be set for pull-up or pull-down using the Select Pull-Up or Pull-Down register and by entering the appropriate current level in the Pull-Up/Down Current register. Contact closure and hysteresis may be defined using the Upper Voltage and Lower Voltage Threshold registers. No additional resistors or hardware are required to provide for current flow. A current value of zero disables the current source/sink circuits and configures the module for voltage sensing. Default is voltage sensing. Level or contact sensing can be mixed within a channel bank, if the contact sensing channels are externally pulled up or pulled down.

Note
If this module supplies the current for the contact sensing, then level and contact sensing cannot be mixed within a channel bank.

All four threshold levels must be programmed in monotonic, increasing order of: Minimum Low, Lower, Upper and Maximum High. For input and output, threshold levels define logic state. For output, threshold levels are used in BIT test (wrap-around) signal monitoring. A pair of drive FETs and current circuits are provided at each I/O pin. See the functional representation of the drivers in the I/O Circuits interface diagram below.

Discrete I/O Threshold Programming

Four threshold levels: Max High Voltage Threshold, Upper Voltage Threshold, Lower Voltage Threshold, and Min Low Voltage Threshold offer maximum user flexibility. All four threshold levels must be programmed. For input or output, the threshold levels will define the logic states. For proper operation, the threshold values should be programmed such that:

Max High Voltage Threshold > Upper Voltage Threshold > Lower Voltage Threshold > Min Low Voltage Threshold

Program Upper and Lower Voltage Thresholds, keeping the 0.25 V min. differential in mind, and then add debounce time as required. When the input signal exceeds the Upper Voltage Threshold, a logic high 1 is maintained until the input signal falls below the Lower Voltage Threshold. Conversely, when the input signal falls below the Lower Voltage Threshold, a logic low 0 is maintained until the input signal rises above the Upper Voltage Threshold.

img3

Debounce Programming

The Debounce register, when programmed for a non-zero value, is used with channels programmed as input to “filter” or “ignore” expected application spurious initial transitions. Once a signal level is a logic voltage level period longer than the Debounce Time (Logic High and Logic Low), a logic transition is validated. Signal pulse widths less than programmed Debounce Time are filtered. Once valid, the transition status register flag is set for the channel and the output logic changes state.

img4

Automatic Background Built-In Test (BIT)/Diagnostic Capability

The Discrete module supports automatic background BIT testing that verifies channel processing. The testing is totally transparent to the user, requires no external programming and has no effect on the operation of the module. This capability is accomplished by an additional test comparator that is incorporated into each module. The test comparator checks each channel and is compared against the operational channel. Depending upon the configuration, the Input data read, or Output logic written of the operational channel and test comparator must agree or a fault is indicated with the results available in the associated status register. The results of the tests are stored in the BIT Dynamic Status and BIT Latched Status registers.

The technique used by the continuous background BIT (CBIT) test consists of an “add-2, subtract-1” counting scheme. The BIT counter is incremented by 2 when a BIT-fault is detected and decremented by 1 when there is no BIT fault detected and the BIT counter is greater than 0. When the BIT counter exceeds the (programmed) Background BIT Threshold value, the specific channel’s fault bit in the BIT status register will be set. Note, the interval at which BIT is performed is dependent and differs between module types. Rather than specifying the BIT Threshold as a “count”, the BIT Threshold is specified as a time in milliseconds. The module will convert the time specified to the BIT Threshold “count” based on the BIT interval for that module. The “add-2, subtract-1” counting scheme effectively filters momentary or intermittent anomalies by allowing them to “come and go“ before a BIT fault status or indication is flagged (e.g., BIT faults would register when sustained; i.e., at a ten second interval, not a 10-millisecond interval). This prevents spurious faults from registering valid such as those caused by EMI and/or dirty power causing false BIT faults. Putting more “weight” on errors (“add-2”) and less “weight” on subsequent passing results (subtract-1) will result in a BIT failure indication even if a channel “oscillates” between a pass and fail state.

In addition to BIT, the Discrete module tests for overcurrent conditions and provides Above Max High Voltage, Below Min Low Voltage, and MidRange Voltage statuses for threshold signal transitioning.

Status and Interrupts

The DT Discrete I/O Function Module provide registers that indicate faults or events. Refer to “Status and Interrupts Module Manual” for the Principle of Operation description.

Module Common Registers

The DT4 function includes module common registers that provide access to module-level bare metal/FPGA revisions & compile times, unique serial number information, and temperature/voltage/current monitoring. Refer to “Module Common Registers Module Manual” for the detailed information.

Unit Conversions

The Discrete Module Threshold and Measurement registers can be programmed to be utilized as a single precision floating point value (IEEE-754) or as a 32-bit integer value. The purpose for providing this feature is to offload the processing that is normally performed by the mission processor to convert the integer values to floating-point values.

When the Enable Floating Point Mode register is set to 1 (Floating Point Mode) the following registers are formatted as Single Precision Floating Point Value (IEEE-754):

  • Voltage Reading (Volts)

  • Current Reading (mA)

  • VCC Bank Reading (Volts)

  • Max High Threshold (Volts)

  • Upper Threshold (Volts)

  • Lower Threshold (Volts)

  • Min Low Threshold (Volts)

  • Current for Source/Sink (mA)

When the Enable Floating Point Mode register is set to 1, it is important that these registers are updated with the Single Precision Floating Point (IEEE-754) representation of the value for proper operation of the channel. Conversely, when the Enable Floating Point Mode register is set to 0, these registers must be updated with the Integer 32-bit representation of the value.

Note, when changing the Enable Floating Point Mode from Integer Mode to Floating Point Mode or vice versa, the following step should be followed to avoid faults from falsely being generated because data registers (such as Thresholds) or internal registers may have the incorrect binary representation of the values:

  1. Set the Enable Floating Point Mode register to the desired mode (Integer = 0 or Floating Point = 1)

  2. Wait for the Floating Point State register to match the value for the requested Floating Point Mode (Integer = 0, Floating Point = 1); this indicates that the module’s conversion of the register values and internal values is complete. Data registers will be converted to the units specified and can be read in that specified format.

User Watchdog Timer Capability

The Discrete Modules provide registers that support User Watchdog Timer capability. Refer to “User Watchdog Timer Module Manual” for the Principle of Operation description

Enhanced Functionality

The DT4 Module provides enhanced input and output mode functionality. For incoming signals (inputs), the DT4 enhanced modes include Pulse Measurements, Transition Timestamps, Transition Counters, Period Measurement and Frequency Measurement. For outputs, the DT4 enhanced modes include PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) Outputs and Pattern Generator Outputs. Refer to “Enhanced Discrete I/O, Digital I/O Functionality - Module Manual” for the Principle of Operation description.

Register Descriptions

The register descriptions provide the register name, Type, Data Range, Read or Write information, Initialized Value, a description of the function and, in most cases, a data table.

Discrete Input/Output Registers

Each channel can be configured as an input or one of three types of outputs. The I/O Format registers are used to set each channel Input/Output configuration. The Write Outputs register controls the output channels to either a High (1) or Low (0) state, and the Read I/O register contains the discrete channel’s state (High (1) or Low (0)) as specified by the channel’s threshold configurations.

Discrete Input/Output Control Registers

Control of the Discrete I/O channels include specifying the Debounce time for each input channel and resetting the I/O channel on an overcurrent condition.

Debounce Time

Function: When set for inputs, the input signal will have the debounce filtering applied based on this programmed value. This is selectable for each channel.

Type: unsigned binary word (32-bit)

Data Range: 0x0000 0000 to 0xFFFF FFFF

Read/Write: R/W

Initialized Value: 0

Operational Settings: The Debounce Time register, when programmed for a non-zero value, is used with channels programmed as input to “filter” or “ignore” expected application spurious initial transitions. Enter required Debounce Time into appropriate channel registers. LSB weight is 10 µs/bit (register may be programmed from 0x0000 0000 (debounce filter inactive) through a maximum of 0xFFFF FFFF (2^32 * 10µs). (full scale w/ 10 µs resolution). Once a signal level is a logic voltage level period longer than the debounce time (Logic High and Logic Low), a logic transition is validated. Signal pulse widths less than programmed Debounce Time are filtered. Once valid, the transition status register flag is set for the channel and the output logic changes state. Enter a value of 0 to disable debounce filtering

Overcurrent Reset

Function: Resets disabled channels in Overcurrent Latched Status register following an overcurrent condition as measured by the Current Reading register.

Type: unsigned binary word (32-bit)

Data Range: 0x0000 0000 to 0x0000 0FFF

Read/Write: R/W

Initialized Value: 0

Operational Settings: 1 is written to reset disabled channels. Processor will write a 0 back to the Overcurrent Reset register when reset process is complete.

Unit Conversion Programming Registers

The Enable Floating Point register provides the ability to set the Threshold values as floating-point values and read the Voltage Reading and Current Reading registers as floating-point values. The purpose for this feature is to offload the processing that is normally performed by the mission processor to convert the integer values to floating-point values.

Enable Floating Point Mode

Function: Sets all channels for floating point mode or integer module.

Type: unsigned binary word (32-bit)

Data Range: 0 to 1

Read/Write: R/W

Initialized Value: 0

Operational Settings: Set bit to 1 to enable Floating Point Mode and 0 for Integer Mode. Wait for the Floating Point State register to match the value for the requested Floating Point Mode (Integer = 0, Floating Point = 1); this indicates that the module’s conversion of the register values and internal values is complete before changing the values of the configuration and control registers with the values in the units specified (Integer or Floating Point).

Background BIT Threshold Programming Registers

The Background BIT Threshold register provides the ability to specify the minimum time before the BIT fault is reported in the BIT Status registers. The Reset BIT register provides the ability to reset the BIT counter used in CBIT.

Background BIT Threshold

Function: Sets BIT Threshold value (in milliseconds) to use for all channels for BIT failure indication.

Type: unsigned binary word (32-bit)

Data Range: 1 ms to 2^32 ms

Read/Write: R/W

Initialized Value: 5

Operational Settings: The interval at which BIT is performed is dependent and differs between module types. Rather than specifying the BIT Threshold as a “count”, the BIT Threshold is specified as a time in milliseconds. The module will convert the time specified to the BIT Threshold “count” based on the BIT interval for that module

BIT Count Clear

Function: Resets the CBIT internal circuitry and count mechanism. Set the bit corresponding to the channel you want to clear.

Type: unsigned binary word (32-bit)

Data Range: 0x0000 0000 to 0x00FF FFFF

Read/Write: W

Initialized Value: 0

Operational Settings: Set bit to 1 for channel to resets the CBIT mechanisms. Bit is self-clearing.

Module Common Registers

Refer to “Module Common Registers Module Manual” for the register descriptions.

Status and Interrupt Registers

The Discrete Module provides status registers for BIT, Low-to-High Transition, High-to-Low Transition, Overcurrent, Above Max High Threshold, Below Min Low Threshold, and Mid-Range.

Channel Status Enable

Function: Determines whether to update the status for the channels. This feature can be used to “mask” status bits of unused channels in status registers that are bitmapped by channel.

Type: unsigned binary word (32-bit)

Data Range: 0x0000 0000 to 0x0000 0FFF (Channel Status)

Read/Write: R/W

Initialized Value: 0x0000 0FFF

Operational Settings: When the bit corresponding to a given channel in the Channel Status Enabled register is not enabled (0) the status will be masked and report “0” or “no failure”. This applies to all statuses that are bitmapped by channel (BIT Status, Low-to-High Transition Status, High-to-Low Transition Status, Overcurrent Status, Above Max High Threshold Status, Below Min Low Threshold Status, Mid-Range and Summary Status). Note, Background BIT will continue to run even if the Channel Status Enabled is set to '0'.

Interrupt Vector and Steering

When interrupts are enabled, the interrupt vector associated with the specific interrupt can be programmed (typically with a unique number/identifier) such that it can be utilized in the Interrupt Service Routine (ISR) to identify the type of interrupt. When an interrupt occurs, the contents of the Interrupt Vector registers is reported as part of the interrupt mechanism. In addition to specifying the interrupt vector, the interrupt can be directed (“steered”) to the native bus or to the application running on the onboard ARM processor.

Note
The Interrupt Vector and Interrupt Steering registers are mapped to the Motherboard Common Memory and these registers are associated with the Module Slot position (refer to Function Register Map).

Interrupt Vector

Function: Set an identifier for the interrupt.

Type: unsigned binary word (32-bit)

Data Range: 0x0000 0000 to 0xFFFF FFFF

Read/Write: R/W

Initialized Value: 0

Operational Settings: When an interrupt occurs, this value is reported as part of the interrupt mechanism.

Interrupt Steering

Function: Sets where to direct the interrupt.

Type: unsigned binary word (32-bit)

Data Range: See table Read/Write: R/W

Initialized Value: 0

Operational Settings: When an interrupt occurs, the interrupt is sent as specified:

Direct Interrupt to VME

1

Direct Interrupt to ARM Processor (via SerDes) (Custom App on ARM or NAI Ethernet Listener App)

2

Direct Interrupt to PCIe Bus

5

Direct Interrupt to cPCI Bus

6

Enhanced Functionality Registers

Refer to “Enhanced Discrete I/O, Digital I/O Functionality - Module Manual” for the Register descriptions.

Function Register Map

Key:

Bold Italic = Configuration/Control

Bold Underline = State/Measurement/Status

*When an event is detected, the bit associated with the event is set in this register and will remain set until the user clears the event bit. Clearing the bit requires writing a 1 back to the specific bit that was set when read (i.e., write-1-to-clear, writing a “1” to a bit set to “1” will set the bit to “0).

**Data is represented in Floating Point if Enable Floating Point Mode register is set to Floating Point Mode (1).

STATUS AND INTERRUPTS

Status registers indicate the detection of faults or events. The status registers can be channel bit-mapped or event bit-mapped. An example of a channel bit-mapped register is the BIT status register, and an example of an event bit-mapped register is the FIFO status register.

For those status registers that allow interrupts to be generated upon the detection of the fault or the event, there are four registers associated with each status: Dynamic, Latched, Interrupt Enabled, and Set Edge/Level Interrupt.

Dynamic Status: The Dynamic Status register indicates the current condition of the fault or the event. If the fault or the event is momentary, the contents in this register will be clear when the fault or the event goes away. The Dynamic Status register can be polled, however, if the fault or the event is sporadic, it is possible for the indication of the fault or the event to be missed.

Latched Status: The Latched Status register indicates whether the fault or the event has occurred and keeps the state until it is cleared by the user. Reading the Latched Status register is a better alternative to polling the Dynamic Status register because the contents of this register will not clear until the user commands to clear the specific bit(s) associated with the fault or the event in the Latched Status register. Once the status register has been read, the act of writing a 1 back to the applicable status register to any specific bit (channel/event) location will “clear” the bit (set the bit to 0). When clearing the channel/event bits, it is strongly recommended to write back the same bit pattern as read from the Latched Status register. For example, if the channel bit-mapped Latched Status register contains the value 0x0000 0005, which indicates fault/event detection on channel 1 and 3, write the value 0x0000 0005 to the Latched Status register to clear the fault/event status for channel 1 and 3. Writing a “1” to other channels that are not set (example 0x0000 000F) may result in incorrectly “clearing” incoming faults/events for those channels (example, channel 2 and 4).

Interrupt Enable: If interrupts are preferred upon the detection of a fault or an event, enable the specific channel/event interrupt in the Interrupt Enable register. The bits in Interrupt Enable register map to the same bits in the Latched Status register. When a fault or event occurs, an interrupt will be fired. Subsequent interrupts will not trigger until the application acknowledges the fired interrupt by clearing the associated channel/event bit in the Latched Status register. If the interruptible condition is still persistent after clearing the bit, this may retrigger the interrupt depending on the Edge/Level setting.

Set Edge/Level Interrupt: When interrupts are enabled, the condition on retriggering the interrupt after the Latch Register is “cleared” can be specified as “edge” triggered or “level” triggered. Note, the Edge/Level Trigger also affects how the Latched Register value is adjusted after it is “cleared” (see below).

  • Edge triggered: An interrupt will be retriggered when the Latched Status register change from low (0) to high (1) state. Uses for edgetriggered interrupts would include transition detections (Low-to-High transitions, High-to-Low transitions) or fault detections. After “clearing” an interrupt, another interrupt will not occur until the next transition or the re-occurrence of the fault again.

  • Level triggered: An interrupt will be generated when the Latched Status register remains at the high (1) state. Level-triggered interrupts are used to indicate that something needs attention.

Interrupt Vector and Steering

When interrupts are enabled, the interrupt vector associated with the specific interrupt can be programmed with a unique number/identifier defined by the user such that it can be utilized in the Interrupt Service Routine (ISR) to identify the type of interrupt. When an interrupt occurs, the contents of the Interrupt Vector registers is reported as part of the interrupt mechanism. In addition to specifying the interrupt vector, the interrupt can be directed (“steered”) to the native bus or to the application running on the onboard ARM processor.

Interrupt Trigger Types

In most applications, limiting the number of interrupts generated is preferred as interrupts are costly, thus choosing the correct Edge/Level interrupt trigger to use is important.

Example 1: Fault detection

This example illustrates interrupt considerations when detecting a fault like an “open” on a line. When an “open” is detected, the system will receive an interrupt. If the “open” on the line is persistent and the trigger is set to “edge”, upon “clearing” the interrupt, the system will not regenerate another interrupt. If, instead, the trigger is set to “level”, upon “clearing” the interrupt, the system will re-generate another interrupt. Thus, in this case, it will be better to set the trigger type to “edge”.

Example 2: Threshold detection

This example illustrates interrupt considerations when detecting an event like reaching or exceeding the “high watermark” threshold value. In a communication device, when the number of elements received in the FIFO reaches the high-watermark threshold, an interrupt will be generated. Normally, the application would read the count of the number of elements in the FIFO and read this number of elements from the FIFO. After reading the FIFO data, the application would “clear” the interrupt. If the trigger type is set to “edge”, another interrupt will be generated only if the number of elements in FIFO goes below the “high watermark” after the “clearing” the interrupt and then fills up to reach the “high watermark” threshold value. Since receiving communication data is inherently asynchronous, it is possible that data can continue to fill the FIFO as the application is pulling data off the FIFO. If, at the time the interrupt is “cleared”, the number of elements in the FIFO is at or above the “high watermark”, no interrupts will be generated. In this case, it will be better to set the trigger type to “level”, as the purpose here is to make sure that the FIFO is serviced when the number of elements exceeds the high watermark threshold value. Thus, upon “clearing” the interrupt, if the number of elements in the FIFO is at or above the “high watermark” threshold value, another interrupt will be generated indicating that the FIFO needs to be serviced.

Dynamic and Latched Status Registers Examples

The examples in this section illustrate the differences in behavior of the Dynamic Status and Latched Status registers as well as the differences in behavior of Edge/Level Trigger when the Latched Status register is cleared.

Principle of Operation

The User Watchdog Timer is optionally activated by the applications that require the module’s outputs to be disabled as a failsafe in the event of an application failure or crash. The circuit is designed such that a specific periodic write strobe pattern must be executed by the software to maintain operation and prevent the disablement from taking place.

The User Watchdog Timer is inactive until the application sends an initial strobe by writing the value 0x55AA to the UWDT Strobe register. After activating the User Watchdog Timer, the application must continually strobe the timer within the intervals specified with the configurable UWDT Quiet Time and UWDT Window registers. The timing of the strobes must be consistent with the following rules:

  • The application must not strobe during the Quiet time.

  • The application must strobe within the Window time.

  • The application must not strobe more than once in a single window time.

A violation of any of these rules will trigger a User Watchdog Timer fault and result in shutting down any isolated power supplies and/or disabling any active drive outputs, as applicable for the specific module. Upon a User Watchdog Timer event, recovery to the module shutting down will require the module to be reset.

The Figure 1 and Figure 2 provides an overview and an example with actual values for the User Watchdog Timer Strobes, Quiet Time and Window. As depicted in the diagrams, there are two processes that run in parallel. The Strobe event starts the timer for the beginning of the “Quiet Time”. The timer for the Previous Strobe event continues to run to ensure that no additional Strobes are received within the “Window” associated with the Previous Strobe.

The optimal target for the user watchdog strobes should be at the interval of [Quiet time + ½ Window time] after the previous strobe, which will place the strobe in the center of the window. This affords the greatest margin of safety against unintended disablement in critical operations.

Register Descriptions

The register descriptions provide the register name, Type, Data Range, Read or Write information, Initialized Value, and a description of the function.

User Watchdog Timer Registers

The registers associated with the User Watchdog Timer provide the ability to specify the UWDT Quiet Time and the UWDT Window that will be monitored to ensure that EXACTLY ONE User Watchdog Timer (UWDT) Strobe is written within the window.

UWDT Quiet Time

Function: Sets Quiet Time value (in microseconds) to use for the User Watchdog Timer Frame.

Type: unsigned binary word (32-bit)

Data Range: 0 µsec to 2^32 µsec (0x0 to 0xFFFFFFFF)

Read/Write: R/W

Initialized Value: 0x0

Operational Settings: LSB = 1 µsec. The application must NOT write a strobe in the time between the previous strobe and the end of the Quiet time interval. In addition, the application must write in the UWDT Window EXACTLY ONCE.

UWDT Window

Function: Sets Window value (in microseconds) to use for the User Watchdog Timer Frame.

Type: unsigned binary word (32-bit)

Data Range: 0 µsec to 2^32 µsec (0x0 to 0xFFFFFFFF)

Read/Write: R/W

Initialized Value: 0x0

Operational Settings: LSB = 1 µsec. The application must write the strobe once within the Window time after the end of the Quiet time interval. The application must write in the UWDT Window EXACTLY ONCE. This setting must be initialized to a non-zero value for operation and should allow sufficient tolerance for strobe timing by the application.

UWDT Strobe

Function: Writes the strobe value to be use for the User Watchdog Timer Frame.

Type: unsigned binary word (32-bit)

Data Range: 0x55AA

Read/Write: W

Initialized Value: 0x0

Operational Settings: At startup, the user watchdog is disabled. Write the value of 0x55AA to this register to start the user watchdog timer monitoring after initial power on or a reset. To prevent a disablement, the application must periodically write the strobe based on the user watchdog timer rules.

Status and Interrupt

The modules that are capable of User Watchdog Timer support provide status registers for the User Watchdog Timer.

User Watchdog Timer Status

The status register that contains the User Watchdog Timer Fault information is also used to indicate channel Inter-FPGA failures on modules that have communication between FPGA components. There are four registers associated with the User Watchdog Timer Fault/Inter-FPGA Failure Status: Dynamic, Latched, Interrupt Enable, and Set Edge/Level Interrupt.

Interrupt Vector and Steering

When interrupts are enabled, the interrupt vector associated with the specific interrupt can be programmed (typically with a unique number/identifier) such that it can be utilized in the Interrupt Service Routine (ISR) to identify the type of interrupt. When an interrupt occurs, the contents of the Interrupt Vector registers is reported as part of the interrupt mechanism.

In addition to specifying the interrupt vector, the interrupt can be directed (“steered”) to the native bus or to the application running on the onboard ARM processor.

Note
the Interrupt Vector and Interrupt Steering registers are mapped to the Motherboard Common Memory and these registers are associated with the Module Slot position (refer to Function Register Map).

Module Sensor Registers

The registers listed in this section apply to each module sensor listed for the Module Sensor Summary Status register. Each individual sensor register provides a group of registers for monitoring module temperatures readings. From these registers, a user can read the current temperature of the sensor in addition to the minimum and maximum temperature readings since power-up. Upper and lower critical/warning temperature thresholds can be set and monitored from these registers. When a programmed temperature threshold is crossed, the Sensor Threshold Status register will set the corresponding bit for that threshold. The figure below shows the functionality of this group of registers when accessing the Interface Board PCB Temperature sensor as an example.

ENHANCED INPUT/OUTPUT FUNCTIONALITY CAPABILITY

The Enhanced Input/Output Functionality Capability is available on the following modules:

  • Differential Transceiver Modules

    • DF2 - 16 Channels Differential I/O

  • Discrete I/O Modules

    • DT4 - 24 Channels, Programmable for either input or output, output up to 500 mA per channel from an applied external 3 – 60 VCC source.

    • DT5 - 16 Channels, Programmable for either input voltage measurements (±80 V) or as a bi-directional current switch (up to 500 mA per channel).

    • DT6 - 4 Channels, Programmable for either input voltage measurements (±100 V) or as a bi-directional current switch (up to 3 A per channel).

  • TTL/CMOS Modules

    • TL2, TL4, TL6 and TL8 - 24 Channels, Programmable for either input or output.

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

The modules listed in Enhanced Input/Output Functionality Capability provide enhanced input and output mode functionality. For incoming signals (inputs), the enhanced modes include Pulse, Frequency and Period measurements. For outputs, the enhanced modes include PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) and Pattern Generation.

Input Modes

All input modes may be configured with debounce capability. Debounce capability allows configurable filtering of noisy signals and transients. Each channel may be set to an individual debounce time value. When a debounce time is set to a non-zero value, the signal reading after a transition must remain at the same level for the debounce interval before it is propagated through, otherwise it is rejected.

The waveform shown in Figure 1 will be used to illustrate the behavior for each input mode.

Pulse Measurements

There are two Pulse Measurements features available - High Time Pulse Measurements and Low Time Pulse Measurements. The Pulse Measurement data is stored in the FIFO Buffer.

High Time Pulse Measurements

In this input mode, the data in the FIFO buffer is the measurement for each rising transition to the next falling one. Timing measurements record the time interval (in 10 µs ticks) from a pair of transitions.

Output Modes

There are three Enhanced Output Functionality modes: two PWM outputs and one Pattern Generator Output mode.

PWM Output

There are two PWM output modes, PWM Continuous and PWM Burst. The PWM timing is very precise with low jitter. In PWM Output mode, the Mode Select register is set to either “PWM Continuous or PWM Burst”. The value written to the PWM Period register specifies the period to output the PWM signal, the value written to the PWM Pulse Width register specifies the time for the “ON” state, and the value written to the PWM Output Polarity register specifies the initial edge of the output. For PWM Burst mode, the PWM Number of Cycles register specifies the number of cycles to output the signal. Note, there may be an initial “OFF” state level delay based on the Period time before the initial pulse is output.

PWM Continuous

Figure 12 and Figure 13 illustrate the PWM Continuous Output signal, one configured with PWM Output Polarity = Positive (0) and one configured with PWM Output Polarity = Negative (1). The configured PWM output is enabled and disabled with the Enable Measurements/Outputs register.

Figure 13. PWM Continuous Output (PWM Period = 15 msec, PWM Pulse Width = 10 msec, PWM Output Polarity = Negative (1))

PWM Burst

Figure 14 and Figure 15 illustrate the PWM Burst Output signal with the PWM Number of Cycles = 5 pulses, one configured with PWM Output Polarity = Positive (0) and one configured with PWM Output Polarity = Negative (1). The configured PWM output is enabled with the Enable Measurements/Outputs register. Once the number of pulses that were requested is outputted, the value in the Enable Measurements/Outputs register will be reset (self-clearing) to allow for the output to be re-enabled.

Figure 15. PWM Burst Output (PWM Period = 15 msec, PWM Pulse Width = 10 msec, PWM Output Polarity = Negative (1), PWM Number of Cycles = 5)

Pattern Generator

For the Pattern Generator mode, there is 64K block of unsigned 32-bit words allocated to specify the data pattern for the output channels. The data in each 32-bit word is bit-mapped per channel. The Pattern RAM Start Address and Pattern RAM End Address registers specify the starting and ending address in the 64K block to use as the data to output for each channel configured for Pattern Generator mode. The Pattern RAM Period register specifies the pattern rate. The Pattern RAM Control and Pattern RAM Number of Cycles control the Pattern Generator output - Continuous, Burst with a specified number of cycles, Pause, or External Trigger from input from Channel 1.

Note
When any channel is configured for External Trigger Pattern Generator mode, Channel 1 MUST be set as an input.

Figure 16 illustrates the output of the 24 channels for the DT4 module all configured in Pattern Generator mode

FUNCTION REGISTER MAP

Key:

Bold Italic = Configuration/Control

Bold Underline = State/Measurement/Status

*When an event is detected, the bit associated with the event is set in this register and will remain set until the user clears the event bit. Clearing the bit requires writing a 1 back to the specific bit that was set when read (i.e., write-1-to-clear, writing a “1” to a bit set to “1” will set the bit to “0).
