Filed Under FAQ |
The MIL-STD-1553B bus has four main elements: (1) a bus controller that manages the information flow; (2) remote terminals that interface one or more simple subsystems to the data bus and respond to commands from the bus controller; (3) the bus monitor that is used for data bus testing; and (4) data bus components (bus couplers, cabling, terminators and connectors). Data is sequentially transmitted and received in a multiplexing scheme over two copper wires from computer to computer at a rate of 1 megabit per second. In most vehicle applications, redundant buses are employed.
