On-Board Monitor and Navigation System Interfaces

ON-BOARD MONITOR AND NAVIGATION SYSTEM INTERFACES

I BUS - The On-board Monitor Control Module/Panel is connected to the I-Bus for communication with the other I-Bus components. Data communication takes place over the I-Bus between the BMBT and the following modules:
- IKE
- Radio Receiver
- Telephone Handset
- Video Module
- Multi-Function Steering Wheel (MFL)
- Audio System Amplifier

ARCNET




The Attached Resource Computing Network is a high speed (2 MB/sec) digital data link. The Navigation Computer and Video Module are connected by the ARCNET for isolated high speed navigation system communication.

The ARCNET is made up of two data wires and a shield similar to the familiar CAN data link. The shielded ARCNET cable has its own triaxial type connector ends that are pushed onto their mating connectors on the modules.

Video Module Red, Green Blue (RGB) output - The On Board Monitor is connected to the Video module through the RGB connection for the LCD screen displays. Each of the three color signals is shielded.
