AFDX Products

AIM’s AFDX/ ARINC664 Test & Simulation modules are available in PC-Card (PCMCIA, Type II), PMC, PCI/ PCI-X, CPCI/PXI, VME and VXI formats. Driver software is included with the module price in the form of a high level Application Programming Interface (API) supporting Windows, Linux, VxWorks, Integrity, LynxOS and others on request.

fdXTap^TM

AIM manufactures and provides a small, portable but powerful AFDX/ ARINC664 Network Tap know as the fdXTap^TM. This product allows the monitoring of frames and traffic of a redundant AFDX/ARINC664 Network between the End System and Switch. A high speed USB 2.0 interface connects the fdXTap to a laptop PC which runs the ‘monitor only’ version of the fdXplorer-M4 giving users a cost efficient and smart way to monitor, record and analyse VL’s and network traffic without a need for any further TAP and AFDX interface hardware. Versions are available for both Airbus and the Boeing variant of ARINC664.

fdXplorer^TM - The Industries 'Premier Solution' for all your AFDX/ARINC664 Test & Simulation

Selected & used by Airbus as the 'Common Standard Databus Analyser' for the A380, AIM's fdXplorer Network Analyser Software for WIN 2K/XP/Vista plus our AFDX/ARINC664 modules offers an 'off the shelf solution' for the Verification, Test, Simulation, Monitoring, Recording & Playback of multiple ports for 'End Systems' & 'Switches'. The fdXplorer-NET version provides remote control of AIM modules via an Ethernet LAN. fdXplorer plus ParaView gives avionics engineers both low level & high level network analyser features for display & control of Parameters in Engineering Units & Graphical Displays. Parameter Extraction, Post Data Analysis & Advanced Replay/ Display features included.

ParaView^TM

ParaView gives users the ability to perform Real-Time Visualisation and Control of databus parameters from any combination of multiple MIL-STD-1553, STANAG3910/EFEX, ARINC429, AFDX/ARINC664, and Fibre Channel streams. ParaView works in conjunction with AIM’s Databus Analysers, PBA-2000/ PBA-3910-EFEX/ PAA-429, fdXplorer & fcXplorer providing Engineering Unit displays in alpha-numeric and graphical format. Post analysis and parameter extraction tools are included.

REROS^TM (RERouting Software)

REROS is a costed option within the fdXplorer Databus Analyser Software. REROS mode supports the manipulation of parameters in the payload and / or header fields of the received frame and re-route /send the frame on another port. These modifications can be done in Engineering Units for parameters within the UDP Payload. ParaView PDI-files are used for the parameter description referenced by the REROS set-up. Parameters can be modified in automatic or interactive mode.

AST^TM (AFDX Scripting Tool)

AST is an AFDX Interoperability Test Scripting Language exclusively developed for AIM by ‘Verified Systems International’ to support the Airbus, A380 ‘AFDX Analyser’.

EasyLOAD-615A^TM

EasyLOAD-615A is ARINC615A Data loader giving users advanced and easy to use data loading on End Systems or Switches. AIM's AFDX/ ARINC-664 API's include TFTP protocol engine support made available to user as an option to the standard API (Application Programming Interface) of the AIM AFDX/ ARINC-664 cards.

The TFTP protocol engine provides TFTP Client and Server functionality in addition to performing the TFTP via Standard Ethernet. For each application, users can configure at the TFTP library level if the file transfer is to be performed via AFDX/ ARINC-664 or Standard Ethernet.

snmpXplorer^TM

snmpXplorer provides aircraft developers, integrators and operators a powerful tool for retrieving, viewing and analysing SNMP/ MIB data from AFDX/ARINC664 End Systems and Switches residing on aircraft data networks.

RT Tester^TM

AIM GmbH in co-operation with Verified Systems International GmbH have developed a powerful integration platform for AFDX communication Test, Analysis & Simulation on the Airbus, A380 project. RT-Tester integrates AIM’s API-FDX-2 two port AFDX to PCIbus module providing monitoring of AFDX communication behavior with a sub micro second precision. Data simulations & transmission profiles are triggered or replayed with the same precision. Fault injection for testing aircraft controllers plus checks for AFDX communication robustness is featured. Hardware-in-the-loop capabilities are also implemented within the RT Tester.

PBA.pro^TM – Databus Test & Analysis Software

PBA.pro is the new generation of Avionics Databus Test and Analysis software using a Modular, Scalable and Integrated approach for use with AIM's family of high performance test and simulation modules. PBA.pro is a powerful yet cost effective software system covering a wide range of applications from a stand alone databus analyser to a complete systems test bench or advanced avionics integration facility.

AIM provides complete Databus Analyser solutions integrating the required Modules, Analyser Software & PC platform to meet your specific requirements.
