Abstract:

A model for the specification and analysis of communication protocols called systems of Communicating Machines is used to describe and analyze a simplified version of the Mil-Standard 1553 bus protocol. The protocol is used in the EA-6B aircraft for digital communication between aircraft subsystems. The model uses a combination of finite state machines, variables and predicate action tables in the specification of the Bus Controller and Remote Terminals. The enabling predicates determine when a transition may be taken on the finite state machine and actions alter variable values as transitions occur. Normal, error-free 1553 bus commandresponse information transfers are modeled. The 1553 Mil-Standard does not contain an equivalent specification using a formally defined model. Keywords Mil-standard 1553 Specification of protocols EA-6B Theses Radio communications Transmission lines Electrical and electronic equipment Countermeasures.
