DapTechnology's AS5643 interface card "FireTrac4x24bT" adopted in the F-35 project.

DapTechnology's AS5643 interface card adopted for the F-35 project.

There is a growing demand for more streamlined hardware systems for processing AS5643 data streams used for defense purposes. In particular, advanced error insertion capabilities, which cannot be achieved with commercial link layer implementations, are required for simulation purposes. FireTrac is designed to natively support AS5643 (not just as an add-on protocol). In addition to standard IEEE1394 functionality, FireTrac is designed to provide hardware-level support for SAE AS5643, particularly alleviating the burden on the host processor for tasks such as packet encapsulation, data extraction, and receive/transmit STOF offsets. Importantly, FireTrac is highly accurate as it fully processes AS5643 transmission timing in hardware. Support for this protocol is built into the hardware, rather than relying solely on a software layer as is commonly provided by other solutions that depend on COTS OHCI chipsets. ■ Technical documentation in Japanese for AS5643 is available.

• Expansion Boards

Analyzer package for the AS5643 avionics data bus adopted in the F-35 project.

The AS5643 I/F board comes in USB, LAN, and PCI/cPCI types. The AS5643 supports speeds of 100/200/400/800 bps. The bus analysis analyzer software FireSpy Mil1394 provides functions for Monitor, Recorder, Commander, Generator, Filter/Trigger, and Scriptor. ■ Japanese technical documentation for the AS5643 is available.

The MIL1394 repeater is a solution for cable extension.

MIL1394, like the commercial IEEE1394 FireWire, has limitations on the length of the connection cable. Therefore, to extend a 1394 connection, it is necessary to use thicker wires or add signal repeaters. DapTechnology has developed a wide variety of repeater models, offering about 25 different configurations, including simple pass-through, multi-pass-through, fiber optic conversion, and EMI-enhanced solutions. Various cable harnesses are also available, using the proven GORE FireWire cables. ■ Technical documentation in Japanese for AS5643 is available.

We are pleased to announce that our company will be exhibiting at the "Monozukuri Fair 2025" held in Fukuoka. ECAD is a dedicated CAD solution for electrical design, equipped with a wealth of features for control design and power distribution panel design, developed for domestic electrical designers over the past 40 years. It addresses challenges such as improving design quality, enhancing operational efficiency, and reducing labor. At the venue, we will introduce the "Panel Manufacturing Skill-less Solution," which utilizes the panel manufacturing support system "WIRE CAM DX" to create pre-manufacturing information as a solution to the labor shortage issues in panel manufacturing that have traditionally required skilled workers. This enables less experienced operators to achieve high-quality manufacturing in processes such as wire processing, component assembly, and wiring work. We invite you to visit our exhibition booth. ■ Exhibition Name: Monozukuri Fair 2025 ■ Location: Marine Messe Fukuoka Hall A & B ■ Booth Number: Hall B BN-9 ■ Dates: October 15 (Thursday) to October 17 (Saturday), 2025 (3 days) ■ Hours: 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM (last day until 4:00 PM) *For more information about the exhibited products, please download the materials. Feel free to contact us with any inquiries.
