mbs’ ÆSyBus product range provides Full Duplex Gigabit
Ethernet/IP interfacing to various Avionics and Industrial data
buses. The ÆSyBus-485 provides this convenient high speed
distributed interfacing capability for interfacing up to
30 RS-485 Transceiver Channels.
The ÆSyBus-485 interfaces to 100Base-TX and 1000Base-T
Gigabit Ethernet via a RJ-45 connector on the front panel and
can be accessed from remote hosts using UDP and other protocols
from the TCP/IP protocol stack. In this way, remote hosts can
log-on to the ÆSyBus-485 and control transmission and
reception on the 30 bi-directional RS-485 data buses accessible
via I/O pins on a VME compatible 96-pin P2 connector. The card
is also available as a standalone module which can be powered
from an external 12V power supply or alternatively via the
Ethernet cables using Power-over-Ethernet (PoE).
