Avionics Interfaces for ARINC 429

Avionics Interface Solutions for ARINC 429 Avionics Databuses

Ballard Logo

Astronics offers a wide variety of ARINC 429 products: computer interface cards, interface peripherals (USB and Ethernet), stand-alone interface devices, rugged embedded computers and software. In addition to ARINC 429, we also offer products for other ARINC protocols: 708 and 717. Our innovative, easy-to-use products reduce integration time and provide high reliability and long life.

What is ARINC 429?

ARINC 429 is the industry standard used on virtually all commercial aircraft. It defines a local area network for transfer of digital data between avionics system elements and describes how an avionics system transmits information over a single pair of wires to all other system elements having need of that information.

Portable Data Loaders

Ballard Data Loaders are the modern replacement for outmoded 3½-inch floppy-disk-only ARINC 615 portable data loaders (PDL). Any PC running Microsoft® Windows® can perform data loads using the USB to ARINC 429 interface, cables, and software included. While being as simple to use as older floppy disk PDLs, they provide record keeping, flexibility in data management, and powerful features for troubleshooting and enabling data loads into difficult LRUs.
