    Section 4 – Connecting the AIM module to the bus CONNECTING THE AIM MODULE TO THE BUS The MIL-STD-1553 Specification clearly defines the process of coupling subsystems to the bus. This connection, called a stub, has two coupling options: Direct and Transformer Coupled.
  • Page 32 Section 4 – Connecting the AIM module to the bus Transformer Coupling Transformer Coupling utilizes a bus coupler that contains an isolation transformer and isolation resistors. Transformer Coupling extends the stub length to 20 feet and provides electrical isolation, better impedance matching and higher noise rejection characteristics than Direct Coupling.
  • Page 33 Section 4 – Connecting the AIM module to the bus Direct to Device (Network) Coupling Direct to Device (Network) Coupling is an option with AIM modules. The AIM design includes on-board Bus Network circuitry that is software selectable. This allows the user to connect directly to a single terminal device without the need for any bus coupling.
