This unit
The Astronics/Ballard Technology 112-000-000 OmniBus PCI Databus Interface Module is a high-density, modular PCI interface for simulating, monitoring, and testing avionics databuses. Each module integrates its own Digital Signal Processor (DSP) to prevent host processor overload and enable high channel counts with mixed protocol support in a single card.

Astronics / Ballard Technology 112-000-000 — Repair & Calibration Service
Aumictech offers NIST-traceable calibration and repair for the Astronics / Ballard Technology 112-000-000. Calibration covers analog input channel accuracy and offset at all gain settings, analog output accuracy, digital I/O logic threshold verification, sample rate and timing accuracy, and trigger and synchronization bus functional verification. NI CompactRIO and PXI chassis also undergo backplane trigger line integrity check.. All calibrations ship with a NIST-traceable certificate. Turnaround is typically 1–3 business days after receipt.
Common Astronics / Ballard Technology 112-000-000 faults: power supply failure (cRIO-9073/9074), C-series slot connector wear, PXI chassis fan failure, GPIB interface failure on VXI controllers, BIOS/EEPROM corruption. NI CompactRIO most common faults are power supply failure on older cRIO-9073/9074 chassis and C-series module slot connector wear from repeated hot-swap cycles. PXI chassis fan failure is the most common wear item — chassis fans are field-replaceable. VXI embedded controllers most commonly develop EEPROM corruption and GPIB interface failure.
Astronics / Ballard Technology 112-000-000 price
This Astronics / Ballard Technology 112-000-000 is listed at $2,800. Calibration is available separately from $450. Contact us for volume pricing or if you need multiple units.
Astronics / Ballard Technology 112-000-000 calibration cost
NIST-traceable calibration for the Astronics / Ballard Technology 112-000-000 is $450 (standard — pass/fail certificate and calibration sticker) or $650 (full measured data at every test point, reference standards documented, traceability chain included). Calibration for this instrument covers analog input channel accuracy and offset at all gain settings, analog output accuracy, digital I/O logic threshold verification, sample rate and timing accuracy, and trigger and synchronization bus functional verification. NI CompactRIO and PXI chassis also undergo backplane trigger line integrity check.. Turnaround is 1 to 3 business days after receipt. See full calibration details →
