SES Solid State Data Recorder - Expandable

The S3DR product family is a low cost, high performance, rugged solution to the processing and data recording needs of environmentally challenging embedded systems, such as those found in aerospace, defence, naval and safety-related or high performance industrial applications.

The Solid State Data Recorder - Expandable (S3DR-E) is a high-speed, high capacity expandable data recorder with extensive data acquisition and communications flexibility. The recorder is built from the concept of multiple recording, data acquisition and communication modules that are assembled together to provide a system that meets the specific bespoke requirements of a customer application.

The recorder always contains a master processor module which provides control and configuration of any other modules contained in the system. This master processor provides a high-performance general purpose processor that controls all other data acquisition, recording and communication modules. The processor module also provides multiple high-speed USB 2.0, Giga Ethernet and VGA interfaces.

A minimum S3DR-E recorder is built from a master processor combined with a recording module and an integrated power supply. Alternative recorder configurations can be built from any combination of up to seven data acquisition, communications and recording modules.

• Recording Modules: Each recording module can be built from either a dual PCMCIA recorder with a dedicated I/O processor, or a high capacity (100 Gbyte), high speed (up to 480Mbits per second) dedicated recording module.
• Data Acquisition: The available data acquisition modules include high-speed A/D converters, video (Mpeg2), thermocouples, RTDs and strain gauges.
• Communications: The communications modules supported include 10/100/1000 Ethernet, 1553-B, Arinc-429, NTDS-E, RS422/485, CAN bus, Synchro and IRIG-106 (PCM).
