Abstract

See full text

Systems and methods of data communication, re-purposing a legacy communications system, and monitoring slip rings are provided. Disclosed systems and methods provide the capability to communicate serial data, Ethernet data or a combination thereof over IP slip rings and/or legacy slip rings. Disclosed systems and methods monitor IP slip rings or legacy slip rings connected to legacy wiring, structured cabling, or a combination thereof for a combination of wear and debris. Exemplary methods of re-purposing a legacy communications system comprise establishing communications interface device including a serial bus-interface on a legacy slip ring, filtering serial data signals and Ethernet data signals through the legacy slip ring, and reducing interference between the serial data signals and Ethernet data signals. Exemplary embodiments include methods of monitoring slip rings comprising determining channel state information of carrier frequencies in at least one communication channel, analyzing the channel state information for changes in properties in the at least one communication channel, and making an assessment of at least one condition of at least one slip ring.
