1. INTRODUCTION
This manual is the user’s guide for the PM429-2. This guide introduces the
PM429-2, describes the installation process, references programming
alternatives, and discusses special PM429-2 features.
1.1 PM429-2 Overview

The PM429-2 is a PC/104+ compliant interface card capable of communicating
over ARINC 429 and ARINC 717 avionics databuses. Embedded systems
frequently use PC/104+ products because they are small (about four inches
square), inexpensive, and easily integrated into an application. In addition to the
ARINC 429/717 capability, the PM429-2 provides an IRIG timer and
input/output avionics discrete I/O signals. The PM429-2 is available in different
configurations to suit many diverse applications.

1.3 Avionics Databus Protocols

Avionics databuses interconnect various electronic equipment (navigation, con-
trols, displays, sensors, etc.) on an aircraft, much as a local area network (LAN)
interconnects computers in an office. Data from one device is passed over the
network to other devices that need it. There are a number of military and
commercial avionics databus standards. The PM429-2 offers ARINC 429 and
ARINC 717, which are briefly described below:
 ARINC 429, one of the most prevalent ARINC (Aeronautical Radio
INCorporated) standards, defines the transfer of digital data between
commercial avionics systems. It uses broadcast bus topology and a label
identification method for data words. This specification describes how an
avionics system transmits information over a single twisted and shielded pair
of wires (the databus) to as many as 20 receivers connected to that databus.
Bidirectional data flow on a given bus is not permitted.
 ARINC 717 is the equipment specification for the Digital Expandable Flight
Data Acquisition and Recording System, which consists of a Digital Flight
Data Acquisition Unit (DFDAU) and a Digital Flight Data Recorder
(DFDR). The DFDAU accumulates data from the aircraft systems and
transmits it to the DFDR on a Harvard biphase ARINC 717 databus. A

INTRODUCTION
similar bipolar ARINC 717 databus can connect the DFDAU to a Quick
Access Recorder (QAR).
These and other standards are not limited to use in aircraft. They are used in
many other military and industrial applications such as surface and space
vehicles, process control, nuclear research, and oil exploration.
1.4 Other Documentation

Besides this manual, Ballard Technology provides other documentation to
facilitate the operation of the PM429-2.
Separate BTIDriver API programming manuals are available for each avionics
protocol. These manuals provide information on the specific protocol and include
basic and advanced programming instructions for users who intend to write their
own software. They also contain a comprehensive reference for API functions.
The software distribution disk accompanying the PM429-2 device has example
programs, drivers, and driver installation instructions for various operating
systems, as well as other information, files, and resources.

2. INSTALLATION
This chapter explains the procedures for installing your PM429-2. There are five
steps to installation:
1. Set the Hardware Configuration
2. Insert the Card on the PC/104+ Stack
3. Install the Driver
4. Test the Installation
5. Connect the Databus(es)
After the installation steps are completed, the PM429-2 is ready to communicate
on the databus(es).
2.1 Step 1: Set the Hardware Configuration

The PM429-2 requires the presence of +5V and ±12V voltage rails through the
PCI (J3) connector on the PC/104+ stack. Please ensure you have these voltage
rails available in your system.
Next, confirm that the power supply in your PC/104+ embedded system has
sufficient current capacity for the PM429-2. Please refer to Appendix A for
information on calculating the power draw of the PM429-2 on each of the +5V
and ±12V rails.
If your PM429-2 has a fixed slot option (/SL0, /SL1, /SL2, or /SL3), the J4
header is not used and the jumpers are omitted. The card is permanently
configured for the predetermined PCI slot.
For all other PM429-2 cards, you will need to set the PCI slot number using the
J4 header. Table 2.1 explains which PCI slot number to select based on the
PM429-2’s physical distance from the host card and demonstrates how to place
the jumpers for the desired slot number. Ensure that the slot number you use for
the PM429-2 is unique on your PC/104+ stack.
Warning: Only install or change jumpers on the PM429-2 in an un-
powered, ESD safe environment. Failure to do so may cause damage to
the device or the operator.

2.2 Step 2: Insert the Card on the PC/104+ Stack

In an ESD safe environment, prepare the PC/104+ stack by installing four
standoffs (0.6-inch body with 4-40 threads) on the board below the PM429-2.
Taking care that pins (J1, J2, and J3) are properly aligned, plug the PM429-2 into
the PC/104+ stack. Secure the PM429-2 to the PC/104+ stack with screws or
standoffs for the next layer.
2.3 Step 3: Install the Driver Software

Drivers allow programmatic control of the PM429-2 from a host computer.
The driver installation procedures vary, depending on your computer’s operating
system. These procedures are kept on disk so they can be easily updated as
operating systems evolve. Before proceeding with the installation, find, print, and
review the driver installation procedure for your operating system.
To install the driver software:
 Insert the driver disk in your drive and browse to the folder for your
product
 Print the driver installation instructions located in a README file on the
software distribution disk in a folder specific to your product
 Follow the instructions from the README file

INSTALLATION
The installation procedure differs for each operating system, but in most cases,
several files are copied to the host computer system and either the system registry
is modified or configuration files are created.
If you encounter problems, have installation questions, or cannot find instructions
for your operating system, please contact Customer Service (see Section 1.5).
2.4 Step 4: Test the Installation

You must set a card number on the controlling computer for software to identify
the PM429-2.
Since many Ballard BTIDriver™-compliant hardware devices (e.g., PM429-2)
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. If you have only one BTIDriver-compliant device connected to
the computer, it is recommended that you set it to card number 0 because the
example programs included with the driver software assume a card number of 0.
After the card number has been set, you can then test the PM429-2.
In Windows, the BTITST32.EXE test program can be used to assign and manage
card numbers and to test the PM429-2 (and other BTIDriver-compliant devices).
The test program discovers all connected BTIDriver-compliant devices and
displays important information about each device such as card number,
configuration, serial number, and assembly part number. Running the test
sequence verifies both the device hardware and the interface between the device
and the computer. If the program does not detect any faults, it displays a “passed
test” message.
This program and a README file with instructions are found in the Windows
Test subfolder (PM429-2WINDOWSTEST) on the software distribution
disk.
Note: The Windows test program may be used at any time to determine
or reassign the PM429-2 card number.
In Linux, card numbers are automatically assigned as they are discovered by the
kernel module on the PCI bus. The card number is determined by the bus
sequence.
In other operating systems, testing and card number management are handled
differently. Example programs on the software distribution disk illustrate
concepts for managing card numbers and testing hardware. In many cases, these
example programs can be recompiled or easily modified for various operating
systems. Instructions on assigning card numbers can be found on the README
file found on the software distribution disk. If you need further assistance,
contact Ballard Technology’s Technical Support (see Section 1.5).

INSTALLATION
2.5 Step 5: Connect the Databus(es)

The PM429-2 has two I/O connectors. Connect the databuses according to the
pin assignment tables in Chapter 5.
All ARINC 429/717 signals and IRIG signals are on the J6 connector and all
discrete I/O signals are on the J5 connector (see Chapter 5). Connection of the
ground pin(s) to the end system(s) is necessary for proper operation of both the
ARINC 429/ARINC 717 channels and the discrete I/O. There is no need to
terminate unused signals and do not connect the reserved pin(s).

3. OPERATION
Now that you have installed the PM429-2 in your embedded system, it is ready to
be operated under the control of a software application. Ballard Technology’s
unified API library called BTIDriver, easily operates the PM429-2 and utilizes its
powerful interfaces.
3.1 User Developed Software

With only a few function calls, a program can operate the PM429-2 and process
messages to and from the avionics databuses. Functions include routines for
transmitting, receiving, scheduling, recording, data manipulation, and time-
tagging bus messages. Although most tasks require only a few API calls, the
comprehensive API library includes a broad range of functions for specialized
needs.
Example programs are included with the API on the software distribution disk.
Detailed information about API functions and instructions on programming for the
PM429-2 are found in the separate manuals for each protocol (e.g., ARINC 429
Programming Manual for BTIDriver-Compliant Devices). You can use these
manuals to learn how to create custom applications for any of Ballard
Technology’s BTIDriver-compliant interface products.

OPERATION

4. PM429-2 FEATURES
This section describes the interfaces and features available on the PM429-2. If
you need more information than what is presented here, please contact Customer
Service at Ballard Technology for assistance (see Section 1.5).
4.1 PCI Bus

The PM429-2 uses the industry standard PLX Technology’s PCI 9056 which
interfaces the protocol circuitry to the PCI bus. The PCI 9056 provides the
PM429-2 with many features including:
 32-bit wide host PCI data bus
 33MHz PCI clock speed
 Universal signaling voltage on the PCI bus
 PCI bus mastering
4.2 ARINC 429

ARINC 429 receive channels feature automatic speed detection and independent
label and SDI filtering. Each transmit channel automatically maintains accurate
label repetition rates. To support data transfer protocols, aperiodic words may be
transmitted without altering the timing of periodic words. Both receive and
transmit channels may be independently set for standard low or high speed bit
rate (12.5 or 100 Kbps).
4.3 ARINC 717

Each ARINC 717 channel is independently configurable for Harvard biphase or
bipolar return-to-zero operation. Sub-frame data structures are used to transmit
and receive from the ARINC 717 databus. In addition, super-frames can be
enabled with configurable counter location and number of frames per super-
frame.
The PM429-2 offers two transmit and two receive ARINC 717 channels. Each
channel may be software configured for either biphase or bipolar signaling.
When configured to use biphase signaling, the channel uses dedicated transceiver
circuitry. When configured to use bipolar signaling, the channel may share
transceiver circuitry with an ARINC 429 channel depending on the PM429-2
model. Until an ARINC 717 channel is configured for bipolar signaling, the
shared transceiver circuitry defaults to ARINC 429 operation. Refer to Chapter 5
for which pins are shared for your specific model.

PM429-2 FEATURES
4.4 Avionics Discretes, Syncs, and Triggers

The PM429-2 has avionics shunt discretes which can be used to signal and detect
events and status as well as 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. Each avionics discrete I/O pin is configured as both a shunt input
and a shunt output.
4.4.1 Shunt Inputs

A shunt input circuit pin is pulled up to a voltage source through a resistor. A
load resistance applied between the pin and ground will shunt current from the
source and generate a voltage at the pin. The pin voltage is compared with a
reference voltage for input state detection. There are two defined states: the
“Open” state in which a high impedance is applied to the pin, and the “Ground”
state in which a low impedance is applied to the pin.
The PM429-2 discrete shunt input circuit, illustrated in Figure 4.1, has a 9 kΩ
pull-up resistor to a 5 volt source. An isolation diode provides protection against
over-voltage at the pin. A load resistance connected between the input pin and
ground will shunt current from the 5 volt source, through the forward biased
diode and the 9 kΩ resistor. A series resistor limits current as a voltage is
generated across the load which is compared to a reference voltage produced by
an identical configuration. This results in a 3.25 switching voltage.

PM429-2 FEATURES
4.4.2 Input Considerations

Limits: The PM429-2 discrete inputs can withstand up to 35 VDC applied to the
pin. The discrete inputs are capable of interfacing with industry standard avionics
discrete signals.
Usage: Some PM429-2 discrete inputs can be configured as 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 4.4.5 for additional
information.
4.4.3 Shunt Outputs

A shunt output circuit pin is typically an open-collector circuit and is normally
high impedance. When driven, the output sinks current to ground in a low
impedance state. Shunt outputs can be used to communicate with an input
discrete and/or to energize a load.
The PM429-2 discrete shunt output circuit, illustrated in Figure 4.2, is a low side
switch capable of sinking up to 200 mA of current to ground through the external
load (Zext). A diode protection circuit permits safe switching of inductive loads.
Over-load detection limits the sink current and shuts the device down in an over-
temperature condition. Each output circuit is wired in parallel with an input
circuit (not shown) providing self monitor capabilities.
Figure 4.2—PM429-2 Discrete Shunt Output Circuit
4.4.4 Output Considerations

Limits: The PM429-2 discrete outputs are open-ground switches capable of
sinking up to 200mA. The discrete outputs are capable of interfacing with
industry standard avionics discrete signals.
Usage: Some PM429-2 discrete outputs can be configured as syncs using
Ballard’s BTIDriver API. Once the output has been configured as a sync it may
no longer be used as a discrete output. Refer to Section 4.4.5 for additional
information.

PM429-2 FEATURES
Self-Monitor: The PM429-2 discrete output circuits can be monitored by

corresponding PM429-2 discrete input circuits. Writing to a discrete can drive an
enabled output and reading from that discrete will report the current state of the
input. Once the output is driven, there is a finite period of time before the change
of state on the corresponding input is detected. This delay (approximately 30 µs)
is due to the latency of the host system and the analog delay of the input and
output circuitry.
Over-Load/Fault Reporting: The PM429-2 discrete shunt output circuits
contain current limiting and thermal shutdown features. If a user attempts to sink
too much current through an output discrete circuit, the output will begin current
limiting. This is accomplished by increasing the resistance through the output,
which causes the power dissipation, and therefore the temperature, to increase.
The output continues to limit the current until the thermal limit is reached and
then the output is automatically shut down. Once an output is shut down due to a
fault, the output remains disabled until both the fault is cleared and the user
drives the output again. For this reason, it is important that the user correct fault
conditions before attempting to drive the output.
High Current Drive: Each output is capable of sinking up to 200 mA of current.
However, the user can wire multiple outputs in parallel to increase the maximum
current sinking capability.
POR: After power-on the discrete I/O is in its default state with outputs open.
4.4.5 DIO Usage

The PM429-2 discrete inputs and outputs can be configured for additional uses as
syncs and triggers. More than one discrete, each with an individually specified
polarity, may be used in combination to define a sync or trigger state. For
instance, a trigger may be defined as a particular state of only one input, or it may
be defined as a particular combination of two or three inputs. Other triggers and
syncs may use the same or different combinations of these lines.
Processes that are configured to be triggered by an external trigger can be
triggered through software using the BTICard_CardTriggerEx function. This is
useful for software testing and does not require external trigger equipment. Refer
to the 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. When DIOn
(where n is a number) is described in other functions, it is synonymous with
dionum (i.e., n = dionum).

PM429-2 FEATURES
Table 4.1 below shows the correlation between dionum, the connector pin, 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.

4.5 IRIG Timer

An IRIG time signal contains a human-readable binary coded decimal (BCD)
time value in days, hours, minutes, seconds, etc. and can used to synchronize
many devices. This allows timing data from all compatible devices to be easily
correlated.
The IRIG circuit in the PM429-2, can be configured as either a master or a slave.
The IRIG timer pin on the ARINC connector (J6) is driven by the bidirectional
buffer only when the IRIG timer is configured as a master. When the IRIG timer
is configured as a slave, it will expect the IRIG signal to come from an external
device.
The PM429-2 internally uses a binary system timer that is free running and keeps
time until either set by software or synchronized to an IRIG signal when
configured as a slave. This system timer is also the source for the IRIG interface
when configured as a master. The system timer has a resolution down to one
microsecond.
Note: The clocks in the master and slave can vary in accuracy. As a
result, there can be a slight underflow or overflow in the least
significant digits of the system timer each time the IRIG timer is
resynchronized.
IRIG data can be encoded using Pulse Code Modulation (PCM), Modified
Manchester Modulation, or Amplitude Modulation (AM). The PM429-2 supports
PCM master, PCM slave, or AM slave modulation modes.
There are a number of formats for IRIG timing. The PM429-2 uses the IRIG
formats indicated in Table 4.2 and Table 4.3. The characteristics of the external
electrical interface to the IRIG pins are as shown in Table 4.4.

5. CONNECTOR INFORMATION
The PM429-2 has several connectors which connect to the PC/104+ stack and to
the avionics databuses. This chapter provides the information needed to connect
to the protocol-specific signals and general-purpose signals (e.g. triggers, syncs,
and discretes).

5.2 Mating Connectors

The PM429-2 uses AMP-Latch™ latching headers for J5 and J6. Though many
different plugs may be used with these headers, the mating AMP connectors are
recommended for compatibility with the latches. Included in Table 5.1 are the
recommended mating connectors for IDC type cabling and individual wire type
cabling.
