SIBOX
Serial Interface Box
The SIBOX is a real-time interface and format conversion unit wich interfaces radars and AT networks, i.e the MIP RADNET system, or other local radar networks.
• When serial data is received from a radar site in either synchron or asynchron format, the SIBOX converts this data to LAN in UDP format, and transmits it for onward use in the radar network.
• Similarly, when data is received from the radar network, the SIBOX transforms this data into serial data in either synchron or asynchron format, and transmits it to the radar site.
Functions & Features
• SIBOX is supplied both in a stand-alone single channel version, and in a 19” rack 4 channel version.
• The RS-232 Serial communication is established between the SIBOX in the rack in the Equipment room, to the modem (LAN) from the radars.
• Up to four radars can be connected. For this purpose, SIBOX has four independent printed circuit boards, here referred to as ’units’, each of which can be described by the block schematics below.
• Serial cable connectors for communication between the radars and the SIBOX use the following connection definitions. All connectors used are D-Sub 25.
• The SIBOX contains build-in diagnostic tools and provide constant health status to the radar network. Alarm and status indicators are clearly visible on the front for a fast overview.
• The SIBOX is supplied with a setup software which enables users to tailor the SIBOX specification to local requirements on-site.
