DIO Unit
Every radar, every flight control system, every satellite payload — they all need one thing before they can talk to each other: a reliable, high-speed bridge between digital signals and the systems that act on them. That bridge is the DIO Unit.
KS Smart Solutions designs and manufactures custom Digital Input/Output (DIO) boards for India's most demanding civil and military applications — from airborne avionics to electronic warfare systems, satellite TTC management to industrial automation.

Where DIO Units Work
- Avionics Systems — Real-time data transfer between flight control and navigation instruments where microseconds matter and errors are not an option.
- Military & Electronic Warfare — Secure, synchronized data exchange across radar, communication, navigation, and EW systems in defence platforms.
- Satellite Systems — TTC data management and real-time control of satellite payloads and sensors.
- Industrial Automation — Integration with PLCs, sensors, actuators, and HMIs for precision process control.
Current Deployment
Application: Airborne avionics interfacing for modern defence platforms Specification Class: Stringent military-grade, compact ATR form factor
A DIO unit built for airborne use cannot afford to be anything less than perfect. Ours weighs under 8 kg, fits within a half-ATR volume, and passes its own self-diagnostics every time it powers on — and continuously while it operates.

- Built-In Test (BIT) Facility — Power-on self-test, Continuous BIT (CBIT), Initiated BIT (IBIT), and Maintenance BIT (MBIT). The system knows its own health at all times
- Discrete I/O — 16 isolated channels (8 input, 8 output) for robust signal handling
- Differential I/O — 80 configurable RS-422 channels for high-integrity data transfer
- TTL Signals — 24 independently configurable 5V TTL I/O signals
- Serial Ports — 8 programmable RS-232 and 8 programmable RS-422/485 ports
- LVDS — 24 channels for high-speed differential signalling
- FPGA Programming — JTAG interface for field updates and customisation
Why Custom-Built Beats Off-the-Shelf
Commercial DIO boards are built for average requirements. Defence and aerospace applications are never average. Our DIO units are custom-engineered to your exact I/O configuration, interface standards, environmental specifications, and form factor — then validated against your operational requirements before delivery.
Every board is modular and scalable — built to grow as system requirements evolve, without redesigning the architecture.
