A429-PMC ARINC Interface Features 8 transmit and 8 receive channels running concurrent- ly and independently. Each channel selectable for: • High or Low Speed • Receive and/or Bus Monitoring Versions • Commercial (Level C) • Extended Temp (Level R) • Conduction Cooled (Level N) Transmitter A429-PMC-8T8R Series interfaces provide 8 fixed receive channels and 8 • Advanced bus scheduling fixed transmit channels of ARINC data to the PMC backplane.
