Introduction • This review will… • Cover the preliminary requirements & design for the ER-2 and WB-57 EIP and NASDAT units. • Demonstrate the ASF is ready to proceed with detailed design. • This review will not… • Be a review of the Global Hawk system (it’s different!) • Cover, in any significant detail, payload communications or the InMar-SAT system. ASF – Airborne Sensor Facility @ NASA ARC EIP – Experimenter Interface Panel; an instrument electrical interface. NASDAT – NASAAirborne Science Data Acquisition and Transmission unit
Key Requirements • Level 1 (NASA Airborne Science / HQ): Sensor Web – A distributed and coordinated network of sensors which collectively act as a single “macro- instrument.” (Delin, Sensors Magazine 4/1/2004)
Key Requirements • Level 2/3 (ER-2 & WB-57 Systems):
Requirements (25A x 2 ckts) (79A) (50A x 2 EIPs) (72Ax2 EIPs) (79A) (30A) (30A) DC CURRENT REQUIREMENT: >80A per EIP (2.8kW) AC CURRENT REQUIREMENT: 50A / Ф, per EIP
EIP Implementation EIP Functional Block Diagram:
EIP Implementation • A modular, PCB-based design reduces wiring and simplifies assembly & maintenance w/rt to the Global Hawk version. SSPC Module (4) AC Distribution Module Legacy Module PRELIMINARY – FOR INFORMATION ONLY DC Distribution Module Ethernet Module (Monitor Module Not Shown)
Support 5 experiments with 3 ‘Misison Critical’ and 1 (modified) ‘Air Data’ connector(s) Drop to 4 PWR connectors (5 command relays / EIP); EIP Implementation J6-J9 change to D38999/21-16 Provide analysis for 50A/circuit (same connector) Fuse internal circuit internally Replace J13 & J14 with Ethernet; leave aircraft wire in place & use as needed. Ship-side signals (DC, AC, Control input) connectors are unchanged.
EIP Implementation EIP Front Panel: Mission Critical 15A AC/DC & Control 15A AC/DC & Control 2x50A DC Output Control & Data Input Mission Critical Mission Critical 15A AC/DC & Control 15A AC/DC & Control 3Ф AC Input Legacy Output 8x100 Mb Ethernet 4x1Gb Ethernet Adapter harnesses will be available to fold Mission Critical & Control into Legacy Output connectors
EIP Implementation • Legacy EIP Power (Mixed AC/DC) Connector Using 3 #16 DC circuits, 2 with SSPCs @ 17.5A trip, 1 fused @ 10A Tie shields at backshell (TBD) • - GH safety circuit used for command circuit – lose NC contact (except for legacy connector) • GPS splitter designed-in but not installed; GPS socket removed in PWR connector • IRIG-B moved to PWR connector (GH style)
L1/L2/Omnistar GPS (coax) (not provided for WB-57/ER-2) 3Ф, 400Hz AC Circuit #1 (15A/Ф)* 3Ф, 400Hz AC Circuit #2 (15A/Ф)* 28VDC Circuit #1 @ 15A 28VDC Circuit #2 @ 15A IRIG-B (coax) Command Relay (N.O. & COM) @ 10A EIP Implementation • Standard Instrument Power Connector (Amphenol D38999/20WG16SN) • 16 x AWG #16 contacts, same pinout as Global Hawk EIP * - Recommended loading varies per plane & based on SAE50881 analysis
EIP Implementation • DC In & Hi-Power Out connectors are same as prior design
EIP Implementation • AC In/Out SAE50881 analysis • Dependent on aircraft wiring more than EIP • Aircraft circuit breakers have high maximum trip: • ER-2/WB-57 historical usage implies greater current ratings than SAE50881 analysis (based on 6TC breakers). • Recommendations: • Caution with high bundle counts & heavy loading • Update analysis with actual ER-2/WB-57 breaker unit data • Incorporate ER-2/WB-57 breakers in EIP environmental tests
EIP Implementation • Modified Legacy Data Connector (page 1 of 2) NEW ASSIGNMENTS: ZJ: INTERLOCK #2 ZM: AIRCRAFT GROUND ZN: ALTITUDE SWITCH #2 N.O. ZP: ALTITUDE SWITCH #2 COM ZQ: LANDING GEAR #2 N.O. ZR: LANDING GEAR #2 COM ZS: FAIL LAMP DRIVE #2 ZT: SPARE
EIP Implementation • Mission Critical / Aircraft Data Connector (page 2 of 2)
EIP Implementation • Mission Critical Connector (Amphenol TVP06RW9-9S) • High-density D38999/III, 9x AWG #23 contacts • Will supply conversion adapters to legacy connector Redundant Interlocks Ground Landing Gear COM N.O. Redundant Fail Drive COM N.O. Altitude Switch
EIP Implementation • Solid State Power Controllers (SSPCs): • DC relay, over-current and arc-fault breaker in 1.5in3 • Trip state, voltage & current monitor • Low power dissipation: • Ron = 6mΩ @ 20A (120mW), no relay coil • Inputs from command relays are opto-isolated on PCB (<20mA/input) • Fails to ‘open’ state • -55ºC to 85ºC operation • Surge tolerant (48V @ 1s, 80V @ 100ms) • Units for power circuits will be permanently ‘CLOSED’ • Status: Rev- PCB received; testing in process
EIP Implementation • DC Monitor Module: • Revised form factor of Global Hawk design • UDP Status Packet Contents: • Voltage & Current for each 15A DC circuit (not for high-power) • Trip status for all SSPCs • Interlock & Fail line status for each payload • (1) External temperature (AD5626) • Humidity • EIP Internal Health Temperatures • Status: Schematic Design • Legacy Module: • Patches Control/Data input to Legacy Output and Mission Critical Connectors • Leverages PCB solder-tail connector technology • Status: Schematic Design Analog Devices AC2626 Temperature Probe

Network Implementation • Managed mesh w/ RSTP configured as 1G ring has two levels of fault tolerance: • Ring topology has built in redundancy • 1G over Cu = 2 quadrax (break one, down to 100Mbit) Image from Sixnet Ethertrak Software Users Manual RSTP – Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol – allows redundant connections in a managed network
Network Implementation • Network impacts on system: • 1G ring means 4 quadrax / EIP & bulkheads • Cable: Tensolite NF24Q100 • Bulkheads: Amphenol TBD (19-18 pattern) • Ring network requires infrastructure power • 2 sets of 28VDC @ ~0.5A / EIP • Fused internally in each EIP • Spare pins available on control input harness
Network Implementation • Worst-Case 1000BASE-T Cabling: • 2 Ethernet Switches, 4 ER-2 Bulkheads, all Tensolite NF24Q100 + Quadrax • TIA/AIA-568b (CAT6) vs. ER-2 Quadrax: • Conclusion: ER-2 IL meets worst-case CAT6 IL specification IL: Insertion Loss (i.e. attenuation)
Control Implementation • Barebones Implementation (Now) • Low risk: Uses existing switch panel and wiring • Optimized Implementation (Later) • Uses Ethernet for indication and/or control • Requires additional electronics box to translate switches & lamp drives to/from network packets • (WB-57 only) FAIL => FAIL/STATUS • Logic Low: FAIL (red lamp on) • Logic High: RUNNING (red & blue lamps off) • Switching @ TBD kHz: STATUS (blue light on)
Control Implementation BAREBONES OPTIMIZED #1 OPTIMIZED #2
Test Plan • All unique designs will be qualification tested for vibration & thermal / altitude • Test procedures for each major assembly • EIP Test Bench • Developed for GLOPAC EIPs • Automated I/R/C “buzz-out” • Automated monitor calibration • DC & AC generators & loads I/R/C: Isolation / Resistance / Continuity test – finds unintended short or open circuits prior to first power -on
Test Plan Ethernet switch integrated into EIP for WB/ER-2 Will need larger AC load (20kW) Will use 100A in-house TRU, not Champion Unit Need larger AC source; may have to go 60Hz
Test Plan • Vibration – • Qualification Test per DRB 367-1100-121 (TBD) • 7.17grms, 3-axis,1 hour per axis • Fixture modification needed (new bolt pattern) • Thermal Altitude • Worst-case thermal & altitude combinations for pressurized and unpressurized areas • -55C -> 0C @ 70kft • 0C -> 45C @ 30kft • 0C -> 60C (TBD) @ sea level
Test Plan May need to request waiver for infrastructure power cold start (TBD) Considering changing profile & dwell times to match DO-160F approach
