Description / Abstract: This SAE Aerospace Standard (AS) establishes the specification for TTP communication protocol functionality as a core networking component for design of synchronous, time-triggered distributed real-time communication networks.

This document is referred to as the "base" specification, containing the generic specification of TTP communication protocol functionality, and frame formats, communication services and protocol state machines with transitions, TTP node operation, TTP network operation, distributed clock synchronization and error detection on the network layer.

The details described in this standard enable interoperable TTP controller implementations.

Purpose

The purpose of this document is to standardize mechanisms and operation of the TTP protocol for safety-critical and mission-critical applications. The information herein will be used to assist in the design, fabrication, system integration, and obsolescence management of TTP-based systems.

This document is controlled and maintained by the SAE AS-2 committee with technical support from TTA-Group members and TTP users.

Application

TTP is well-suited for the design of deterministic system architectures with hard real-time behavior in safety and missioncritical applications. The application of TTP as a fieldbus is viable for fault-tolerant distributed systems, deterministic networks, and distributed control system platforms (e.g., flight controls, by-wire steering, environmental controls, smart sensor/actuator networks, distributed power generation, or landing gear). TTP supports design of time-triggered architectures and reusable generic platforms compliant with RTCA DO-297. TTP can also be used for backplane communication and design of modular aerospace system controls.

Interpretation

The following interpretations shall be placed upon these words, unless stated otherwise, where they are used in this document.

May: An allowed action.

Shall: A mandatory requirement.

Should: A recommended action.

Will: A declaration of intent.
