BCI-1553 Drivers for LabVIEW 2015

Drivers, documentation, and example code for BCI-1553 module

This .zip file contains an installer for the BCI-1553 software, including the drivers, documentation, and example code for test software development in all four of the BCI-1553 module's available operating modes: bus monitor, bus controller, remote terminal, and advanced.

All drivers and examples require LabVIEW 2015 with the FPGA and Real-Time modules installed. All software developed with the included drivers will require a BCI-1553 module to operate and compile.

In this video Steven demonstrates a hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) validation test for a helicopter cockpit data collector. The data collector converts cockpit sensor LVDT signals into MIL-STD-1553 bus data for the flight controls computer (FCC). A PXI chassis is used to run plant and control models to simulate the helicopter systems that interface to the data collector, including the FCC, cockpit sensors, engine, and airframe.

Test and simulate MIL-STD-1553B bus communications

Bloomy’s BCI-1553 C Series module provides a versatile, standards-compliant MIL-STD-1553B interface for the National Instruments CompactRIO platform. The module uses the high performance, industry standard Holt HI-6131 integrated terminal to provide a single dual-redundant bus interface. The flexible software-configured drivers provides out-of-the-box operation as a bus controller, bus monitor, or as two independent remote terminals.

Customer

A worldwide leader in the design and manufacture of commercial and military helicopters.

Challenge 

Integration and testing of advanced helicopter flight control systems, including every item from the cockpit controls to the control surface actuators and the flight computers, as well as the equipment required to support these components.
