OmniBus II Ordering Information
OmniBus II Part Numbers
The part number for an OmniBus II product is a combination of the platform number, module number(s), CoPilot code, and options. This results in hundreds of possible part number combinations. Contact us for assistance in determining the best OmniBus II order number to fit your needs. Each platform core can accept one module. A core without a module (000) may be used for future expansion. OmniBus II part numbers have the following format:
XXX-YYY-YYY-YYY-YYY
where XXX is the Platform Number; YYY is a Module Number (2-core models will have 2 modules; 4-core models will have 4 modules). NOTE: OmniBus II and original OmniBus series modules are incompatible and cannot be interchanged between systems.
Example Part Numbers
- 264-544-544-442-451
4-core OmniBusBox II with 4 multi-function MIL-STD-1553 channels (two 2-channel modules), 16 programmable R/T ARINC 429 channels (1 module), and 4R/4T ARINC 717 channels (1 module) - 262-544-442
2-core OmniBusBox II with a 2 multi-function MIL-STD-1553 channels (1 module) and 16 programmable R/T ARINC 429 channels (1 module) - 212-458-822
OmniBus II PCIe card with 8R/8T ARINC 429 channels with parametric control (1 module) and 2R/2T ARINC 708 channels with parametric control (1 module) - 222-441-000
OmniBus II PXIe card with 8 programmable R/T ARINC 429 channels (1 module) and an unpopulated core

Purchasing with CoPilot Test & Analysis Software
To Include CoPilot analysis & test software, add "CP-" before the OmniBus II order number
Example: CP-264-544-441-454-811
CoPilot Software is licensed to a specific Ballard hardware device using a purchased 'key' that is programmed into the hardware itself. This key allows CoPilot to interact with that device. Receive a discount when purchasing the CoPilot Software 'key' bundled with a new hardware purchase. Although the CoPilot license allows you to install CoPilot software on as many computers as you need for pre-run setup, scripting, or post analysis, each Ballard hardware device you want to run with CoPilot requires its own purchased license key. Visit the CoPilot page for more information.
