ICU Features

DSI ICUs are designed to pro­vide high­ly reli­able con­trol of com­plex sys­tems in a ded­i­cat­ed unit for instru­ments and pay­loads. Many types of inter­faces and con­trol and mon­i­tor­ing sig­nals can be pro­vid­ed to meet any cus­tomer need.

 

Fea­tures:

  • Proces­sor-based Design
  • Con­trol of Mul­ti­ple Instru­ments and Pay­loads
  • Mon­i­tor­ing Instru­ment Sen­sors and Teleme­try
  • Con­trol of Dig­i­tal and Ana­logue Instru­ment Sys­tems
  • Com­mand­ing of Instru­ment Oper­a­tion
  • Sin­gle Point Fail­ure Free Design

Specifications

DSI ICUs are extreme­ly flex­i­ble, and can be built to accom­mo­date near­ly any inter­face and con­trol func­tion need­ed by a com­plex instru­ment.

 

Fea­tures:

  • Mech­a­nism Con­trol (e.g. step­per or brush­less motors)
  • Pow­er Pro­vi­sion­ing for instru­ments
  • Con­fig­urable Inter­faces (SpaceWire, MIL-STD-1553B, RS422, Ana­logue mon­i­tor­ing, and more)
  • Vol­ume: Cus­tomiz­able
  • Pow­er Con­sump­tion: Cus­tomiz­able
  • High Reli­a­bil­i­ty: > 0.99
