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.
 

A separate document provides more detail on the ÆSyBus concept and how its unique architecture can be exploited to provide a cost effective, distributed interface and processing system with outstanding performance. Many new products are planned to expand this flexible, easy to program family.
 

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).
