What is BS EN 16603-50-51 - SpaceWire protocol identification about?
Several communication protocols can be used in conjunction with the SpaceWire Standard (ECSS-E-ST-50-12), to provide a comprehensive set of services for onboard user applications.
To distinguish between the various protocols a protocol identifier is used. BS EN 16603-50-51 specifies this protocol identifier.
Who is BS EN 16603-50-51 - SpaceWire protocol identification for?
BS EN 16603-50-51 on SpaceWire protocol identification is relevant to:
- SpaceWire interface manufacturers
- Design engineers
- Project managers for space missions
- Quality compliance personnel of space missions
Why should you use BS EN 16603-50-51 - SpaceWire protocol identification?
The protocol identification scheme enables many different protocols to operate concurrently over a SpaceWire network without them interfering with each other. To achieve this, an identifier is given to each protocol.
BS EN 16603-50-51 guides you regarding protocol identification and protocol identifier by providing requirements for addressing protocol identifier, protocol identifier, extended protocol identifier, ignoring unknown protocols and protocol identifier and extended protocol
identifier allocation.
