Data Conversion Equipment


Caledonian’s Converters are second to none in a number of respects. Environmental capabilities are extensive, and where required, include operational temperature range of -55℃ to +90℃, with thermal and mechanical shock abilities that exceed DO-160 Compliance. All Converters are released with a Form 1.

Further, the Converters are Low Volume, Low Mass, very High Reliability highly optimised Units. While Caledonian has a number of Standard Units in its Product Line, largely derived from its Scorpio Mission System heritage, Caledonian can also provide a wide Spectrum of Bespoke Converters to reflect End User Exact Requirements.

As an example, Caledonian has designed, manufactured and supplied Synchro to ARINC 429 Converters, with accuracies of around 0.3° to reflect the requirements of one set of customers and 0.015° in line with another Customer’s requirement.

All of Caledonian’s converters use Caledonian’s embedded technologies which have highly optimised architectures to minimise data conversion latency and use RTOS.

Caledonian have designed systems to Manipulate / Interface / Digitise / Filter and Convert the following Aerospace and Industrial communications standards, where necessary interfacing with IBM compatibles.
