1.3.1 Navigation Data Manager NDM
(see also Figure: 1--2)
1.3.1.1 General
The NDM consists of a group of up to 12 pcb’s ( 1 m aster and up to 11 slaves).
The hardware of all the slaves is identical, which each pcb has its own
microprocessor.
The NDM--Master is a Vx Works PC.
The pcb’s are located in a 19“ rack.
The back--plane is used as pcb holder and central distribution for the internal
power supply and data transfer per CAN--BUS technology.
External devices are connected via isolated transfer modules (RS232, 20mA,
RS422, RS485, TriState) on the slaves.
Communication with further units takes place via the Ethernet (NavData Inter-
face).
The NDM--Master (defined also as Navigation Data Distribution) determines the
CAN bus configuration, in other words how many slaves with what addresses
are active on the bus.
Every user interface can be freely configured:
-- Module: RS485, RS422, RS232, 20mA, Tr iState
-- Baud rate, parity and data bits
-- “End of Line” char of telegrams
The Navigation Data Distribution can only be configured as follows:
-- IP--Address, Port--Number, with/without data header
Note:
Only the NDM has a Ethernet connection.
The configuration of the NDM is stored in its flash memory.
The configuration is stored in the EEPROMs on the slave pcb’s concerned.
