BA-110 ARINC 429 to CSDB Unit (ACU)

The BA-110 ACU is designed to convert ARINC 429 High or Low Speed data into two (2) CSDB (Collins Standard Data Bus) data output busses and one (1) RS-232 Data Bus

The unit is designed to be configurable to convert ARINC 429 data and output to any two of the following CSDB Busses with high or low bus speeds, configurable Bytes/Block and Frames/Sec:
