Telemetry over IP

Telemetry over IP (TMoIP)

Overview

NetAcquire TMoIP reliably distributes telemetry signals across a wide range of IP-based networks with very low latency.

TMoIP converts electrical input signals into specifically formatted, packetized network data streams. A receiving TMoIP unit reads the data from the network and reconstitutes the data back into the equivalent electrical output signals at remote locations.

Intelligent TMoIP

Reliability and Time/Data Correlation

Data integrity and data timing are maintained throughout the telemetry distribution process. NetAcquire Intelligent TMoIP preserves the timing correlation of the signals from the source side to the destination side. Network transport of IRIG A/B/G timing signals and NTP timing is available on NetAcquire TMoIP systems. If an IRIG timing input signal is supplied, the IRIG output is accurately time correlated to serial data at each destination.

NetAcquire TMoIP uses agile frequency synthesis and tracking capability on all output channels to avoid serial bit slips and data padding that result from input-to-output timing mismatch conditions. Frequency resolution is better than .0001% (1 part- per-million) across telemetry data rates ranging from 100 bps to 100 Mbps, resulting in very low jitter.

Other high-reliability features include automatic reconnection following recovery from network failures, quality of service channel prioritization (ensuring that most important data goes through the network first), and a feature that allows users to reconfigure most system properties dynamically without the need for a system re-start.

Simple System Management and Diagnostics

System configuration takes only a few simple steps from the NetAcquire browser-based user interface. The top-level system management display shows a complete view of system status including network health. Simply click to drill-down and see additional helpful diagnostic information for rapid troubleshooting.

An innovative status display shows simultaneous information from both ends of the TMoIP connection, enabling more effective diagnostics.

Operator drill-down capabilities include channel status, input/output counts, I/O parameters, error counts, network latency and jitter, and IRIG timing. Serial channel status includes detection and reporting of “no data” or “no clock signal” electrical conditions which are important for rapid diagnosis of external wiring/signal issues. In addition, actual telemetry data from any input channel can be viewed directly from the management interface.

Future-Proofing with “Universal” TMoIP

NetAcquire TMoIP simultaneously supports multiple configurable network protocol options to meet both current and future standards. NetAcquire TMoIP supports RCC 218 2010 and 2020, IRIG 106 Chapter 10, and RCC TmNS (iNET) packet formats in unicast or multicast. The optional NetAcquire Data Flow Designer allows specification of arbitrary network packet formats for the ultimate in configurability and flexibility.

Network Mesh Topology

NetAcquire Intelligent TMoIP design overcomes the restrictions of traditional point-to-point communication products by supporting delivery of telemetry data to multiple endpoints simultaneously. It easily supports sophisticated one-to-many and fully dynamic mesh configurations.

Network Consumers and Data Processing Flexibility

In additional to serial data output, NetAcquire Intelligent TMoIP supports simultaneous delivery of telemetry data directly to PCs and other Ethernet devices.

Optional telemetry frame synchronization delivers telemetry data network packets that are frame-aligned for convenient software- based decommutation and display. NetAcquire offers an extensive suite of tools for network data archiving, decommutation, real-time processing and data display.
