As you may already know, a data bus is essentially abundle of signal wires that carriy or transport data. Depending on whether you have an internal or external bus system, information is either transferred or carried witin the process or between the process and the system memory. Looking specigically at a 1553 data bus, tend to be more external but neverthless have a wide range of applications from mitary to industrial. So, how do you know if your company is in needs of a 1553 data bus? Well, that’s a complex question with a slighlthy less complicated answer.
The Basics
First let’s start off with the difference between a standard address bus and a data bus such as the commonly used 1553 data bus. An address bus is basically a part of a computer or computer system bus that has a specific address. So when the computer processor needs to access peritant information stored within the computer’s memory, it utilizes the physical address of that specific block of memory – thus allowing that specific data to be transfer via the data bus.
As you can see then a standard address bus i.e. one that reads from as well as writes data to a particular block of memory is slightly different from a data bus. In its simplest terms a data bus is bidirectional i.e. it travels in both directions whereas the address bus is only travels in one direction or is unidirectional. Lastly, a control bus is needed to essentially manage the information that is being transferred between the system’s components.
Consult an Expert
So now that we’ve touched on the basics, hopefully it is a little clearer whether or not a 1553 data bus is right for your particular application. Nevertheless, if you still need a few more details or more information about this particular data bus, the varies 1553 models and hardware then it never hurts to consult a data bus expert that has extensive experience in dealing with all kinds of data bus systems, applications and/or software. Currently, there are several different 1553 instruments on the market such as the PCI-C1553, PlCle-C1553, PXI-C1553, UBS-1553, VME-1553 as well as the VXI-1553.
