Abstract
A digital data harness, uses a signal specific conditioning circuit to interface with analog sensors. The signal specific conditioning circuits convert data signals from analog to digital and thereby allow the signals to be transmitted over a digital data harness.
Claims17
A digital communication cable comprising;
- at least one digital communication wire;
- a digital to analog/analog to digital (DA/AD) signal converter having a digital connection on a first end, and an analog connection on a second end, the DA/AD signal converter terminating at least one digital communication wire;
- a set of connector pins connected to said analog connection;
- and
- an interconnect casing encompassing a portion of said digital communication cable, said DA/AD converter, and a portion of each of said set of connector pins.
2 more elements
A data harness for an aircraft comprising;
- a plurality of digital communication cables, each of said digital communication cables having a digital interconnect on at least one end;
- said digital interconnect comprising a digital to analog/analog to digital (DA/AD) signal converter having a digital connection on a first end, and an analog connection on a second end;
- a set of connector pins connected to said analog connection;
- and an interconnect casing which encompasses a portion of the digital communication cable, the DA/AD signal converter, and a portion of the connector pins.
1 more element
A system for connecting analog components to a digital data harness comprising;
- a digital data harness;
- at least one analog component having an analog output;
- a signal specific conditioning circuit connecting said at least one analog component to said digital data harness, such that analog data is converted into digital data in said signal specific conditioning circuit, and transmitted over said digital data harness to at least one destination.
