Researched on Initiation Synchronization of Addressable Initiation System

Abstract

Addressable initiation system was established by bus topology structure and information coding which owns the ability to safely and reliably control up to 256 initiators on a signal bus according to the communication protocol which is a robust two-way command response type protocol. Also, the two-way digital communication was achieved between intelligent bus controller and smart initiator by multiplexed serial data bus. The synchronous performance of addressable initiation system was researched. The result shows that each smart initiator will performance the built-in logic control, and arm electronic safe switch after receiving the synchronous signal sent by intelligent bus controller. Then they discharged the electrical energy of the firing capacitor as approximately synchronous, and were initiated synchronously at 4±0.2μs. It indicates that this initiation system has favorable synchronization.
