  5. Background • Why are we doing this? Sensor Web – A distributed and coordinated network of sensors which collectively act as a single “macro- instrument.” (Delin, Sensors Magazine 4/1/2004)

  6. Background • How this work is funded & requirements: • American Recovery & Reinvestment Act (ARRA): • Build enough EIPs and NASDATs to support ER-2 and WB-57 • Task expires 10/31/11 • FY11 Overguide • Build out remaining, known hardware requirements for Global Hawk and other aircraft • Allocations & details at end of CDR

  7. Key Requirements • EIP Key Requirements: • Match the capability in the ER-2 experimenters handbook, and… • Support legacy instruments • Monitor DC power & transmit over ethernet • Operate in all airborne environments • Include ethernet switch • Fit in existing ER-2 & WB-57 footprint • Easy to install in existing planes with skeleton crews • Meet NASA QA & workmanship requirements • Operate for 10+ years • Be reasonable to maintain & repair

  8. Key Requirements • NASDAT Key Requirements: • Provide experiments… • Navigation and aircraft data isolated from the aircraft bus • Time – as accurate as possible • Baseline satcom, network, & sensor-web communication • Legacy interfaces from Navigation Recorder: RS-232, RS-422, ARINC-429, Synchro, IRIG-B • Record cockpit switch states on manned aircraft • Meet NASA QA & workmanship requirements • Operate for 10+ years • Withstand harsh environments

  9. Workmanship • How can we maintain quality, compatibility with the standards, and meet $ & schedule? • Not many houses build to the NASA 8739.x workmanship standards • No COTS board vendors build to 8739.x • Many workmanship standards are compatible with the NASA 8739 standards • Ex. All flight Global Hawk PCBs built to IPC-610/III & inspected at DFRC • Working with customer QA for site and first-article inspections of hardware

  16. Experiment Interface Panels

  17. EIP EIP Functional Block Diagram: Power Systems: - 400Hz AC -28VDC -DC Monitor 28V & DCMON are isolated from each other & referenced to EIP enclosure. All AC power is pass-through – no connection to EIP.

  18. EIP • EIP Versions: • Mark I: 1990s – Legacy ER-2 & WB57 units • Cabling patch-through with low-current relays to handle cockpit switch interface • Mark II: 2009 - Global Hawk • First cut at fleet-wide design, ended up being GH-specific • Mechanical relays, lots of wire, no ethernet switch inside • Mark III: 2011 – ER-2, WB-57 • Meets power requirements of MK1 design • Manned aircraft interface • Incorporates ethernet switch • Leverages technology not available during MK2 design

  19. EIP • Power Requirement (ER-2 Experimenter Handbook): (25A x 2 ckts) (79A) (50A x 2 EIPs) (72Ax2 EIPs) (79A) (30A) (30A) DC CURRENT REQUIREMENT: 79A per EIP (2.2kW) AC CURRENT REQUIREMENT: 50A / Ф, per EIP (17.25KVA)

  20. Replace J1-J4 with smaller connectors that only have switch/fail/interlock EIP Instrument Power connectors changes to 38999 21-16 (same as MK2) (MK1) Still supporting 35Ax2 output but on one connector Fuse circuits internally, use poly fuses where tempco is not an issue Replace J13 & J14 with Ethernet; leave aircraft wire in place & use as needed. Ship-side signals (DC, AC, Control input) connectors are drop-in compatible.

  21. EIP Interfaces: J6-J9: MIXED AC/DC CONNECTORS J2-J5: COCKPIT (“AIRCRAFT SIGNALS”) MK3 Proto Front Panel: J4: 35A X2 DC OUT Mission Critical 15A AC/DC & Control 15A AC/DC & Control 2x50A DC Output Control & Data Input Mission Critical J5: DATA (“AIRCRAFT SIGNALS”) EIP POWER (DCMON & ETHERNET SWITCH) Mission Critical 15A AC/DC & Control 15A AC/DC & Control 3Ф AC Input Legacy Output 8x100 Mb Ethernet 4x1Gb Ethernet J19-20: (4) 1Gb ETHERNET DC POWER (TRU) J16-17: (8) 10/100 ETHERNET

  23. EIP • Previous images showed prototype connector IDs which were arbitrary. • Flight unit connector labeling will match existing ER-2 drawings:

  24. L1/L2/Omnistar GPS (coax) (Global Hawk only) 3Ф, 400Hz AC Circuit #1 (15A/Ф)* 3Ф, 400Hz AC Circuit #2 (15A/Ф)* 28VDC Circuit #1 @ 15A (H: Power) 28VDC Circuit #2 @ 15A (D: Power) IRIG-B (coax) Switch (from cockpit) (N.O. & COM) @ 5A EIP Interfaces: • J6-J9: Standard AC/DC Connector (Amphenol D38999/20WG16SN) • 16 x AWG #16 contacts, same pinout as Global Hawk EIP * - Recommended loading varies per plane & based on SAE50881 analysis

  25. EIP • MK2 & MK3 AC/DC Connector Differences: • No GPS splitter in MK3 units (pin M) • Command Relay (pins P & R) • MK2 relay is a mechanical relay – each pin is passive • MK3 relay is an active device (5A SSPC) • Input must be applied to ‘COM’ pin (P), output to ‘N.O.’ pin (R) • 3-Ф AC Circuits’ wire rating • GH rates circuits @ 10A/Ф, ER-2 & WB @ 15A/Ф • Both units use #16 wire, different rating philosophy

  26. EIP • MK1 vs. MK3 “Aircraft Signals” Connectors: • MK1 had 5, MK3 has 1 full (J1) + 4 small (J2-J5) • J1: Switch #1, Pin-for-pin compatible with MK1 J1 • Uses same M39016/19 relay circuits as MK1: NC/NO/COM contacts, rated @ 1A resistive • Adds AD590/AC2626 temp sensor, read out in EIP status packet • Labeled “DATA” on MK3 • J2-J5 – Switches #2-5, WoW/Alt relays, interlock/fail • Switches are mirrored from J6-J9, but polyfused @ 2A nominal • Switches are NO/COM only and polarity sensitive • Labeled “COCKPIT” on MK3

  27. EIP • “Cockpit” Connectors (J2-J5): MIL-38999/III 13-98 • Switch grouping: • J6 & J2 (#2), J7 & J3 (#3), J8 & J4 (#4), J9 & J5 (#5) Cockpit Switch (2A) WoW (0.5A) N.O. COM N.O.

  29. EIP • What ethernet connectors should experiments use? • RJFTV – easy, available, inexpensive • RJ45 in a MIL-38999/III shell • Global Hawk issues solved • Contact ASF for support re: use with Tensolite cable • Quadrax: expensive, low-loss, good for aircraft • Stay with Amphenol quadrax (ITT differs) • Part number support & spares available from ASF • ASF also has pressure bulkhead feed-throughs available
