Magali NDA

Network Distributed Architecture

MAGALI is basically a standalone system providing all real time and post processing required functions. NDA architecture is an extension designed to distribute the different MAGALI Real Time functions on several systems connected to a network. Thus, each system works synchronously on a dedicated task : acquisition / generation, monitoring, visualization, scheduling.

Functionalities

• Acquisition and generation of large number of data formats : telemetry, bus MILSTD-1553, ARINC429, analogic, serial, Ethernet, discrete, counter, specific.
• Distribution of the real time acquisition/generation loads on several processors.
• Monitoring and real time follow up by a large number of users.
• Visualization of numerous parameters in real time.
• Automatic synchronization of the sources, whatever the format and acquisition platforms (Windows, Linux, UNIX, VxWorks, …).
• Network distribution of data in raw values or in engineering units using UDP and TCP/IP.
• Test configuration separately from the SPE as a unique system.

Performances

• 5000 parameters
• High rate network
• 24 displays per SVM
• More than 100 visualisation objects per display
• Up to 16 supervision stations
• Up to 4 acquisition/generation stations

Functions

Distributed visualization on several stations :

In this configuration, the acquisition station fills all functions of a standalone system : acquisition, monitoring, real time visualization, post processing. The other stations are only real time visualisation stations.

Distributed acquisition on several stations :

When the acquisition constraints are too strong, streams to acquire can be distributed on several stations. The monitoring system thus, controls all the acquisition systems as a unique one.
