Protocols

Excalibur Systems provides a large selection of board level products for test & simulation, as well as, the embedded environment. Choose from a number of avionic protocols under platforms such as, USB/Ethernet, PC/104, PMC, PCI, Compact PCI, VME and VXI.

Multi Protocol Boards

The EXC-4000 & EXC-8000 is a family of multi-protocol test and simulation boards for PCI, cPCI, PC/104 Plus and VME/VXI computers.

Multi Protocol 4000 Modules

The M4K module can be one of many protocols that is used on a variety of platforms for the 4000 Multi Protocol Board.

Multi Protocol 8000 Modules

The M8K module can be one of many protocols that is used on a variety of platforms for the 8000 Multi Protocol Board.

MIL-STD-1553

Boards in this family have an option for either single or multi function 1553.
Single function 1553 (RT validated) operates either as a Bus Controller, Remote Terminal, or Bus Monitor.
Multi function 1553 operates simultaneously as a Bus Controller and/or multiple (up to 32) Remote Terminals, and/or as a Triggerable Bus Monitor. Multi function cards support error injection and error detection.

MIL-STD-1553 MCH (LEGACY)

Multi-channel boards which operate either as a Bus Controller, Remote Terminal, or Bus Monitor. These boards are based on the industry-standard "Summit" chip which is RT validated. ***NOW A LEGACY PRODUCT***

MIL-STD-1760

All Excalibur 1553 multi function boards can be ordered with the 1760 option, which incorporate use of Checksums, Support for Header Word and Servicing the SRQ Bit.

MMSI - Mini Munitions Store Interface

Mini Munitions Store Interface (MMSI) (EBR 1553) modules support up to eight MMSI hub ports and one composite Bus Monitor output. Each module can operate in one of three modes of operation: Remote Terminal, Bus Controller/Concurrent-RT/Concurrent Monitor, and Bus Monitor.

H009

Boards in the H009 family provide a complete solution for developing and testing H009 interfaces and performing system simulation of the H009 bus, according to the standard H009 protocol.

ARINC-429

ARINC-429 interface boards supports multi-channels in any combination of transmitters and receivers. Each of these channels feature error injection and detection capabilities.

ARINC-708

ARINC-708 / 453 for the Weather Radar Display Databus.

ARINC-717

ARINC-717 interface boards supports multi-channels in any combination of transmitters and receivers.

ARINC-664 p7 (AFDX)

The EXC-664PCIe board is an ARINC-664 test and simulation board designed to help integrate avionics suites, and can simulate up to two End Systems with full dual redundant support for receive and transmit operation. The board also contains room for two standard 4000 modules that can support multiple channels of other avionics communications protocols including MIL-STD-1553, ARINC-429, Serial, Discrete, ARINC-708 and CANbus.

AS5643 (FireWire) - 1394B

AS5643 (FireWire) - 1394B cards support up to three fully independent nodes; each node having three full duplex ports associated with it, and 2 MB of memory for message data and control registers.

Serial (RS-232/422/485)

Supports up to four independent channels of serial communications, each of which can be selected as RS-485, RS-422 or RS-232.

Discretes

Provides a complete solution for developing and testing discrete voltage-level interfaces.

CAN Bus & ARINC-825 (825CAN)

M4KCAN module supports up to 6 CAN Bus channels each containing 256 bytes of dual-port RAM for Data Blocks and control registers. All Data Blocks and control registers are memory mapped, and may be accessed in real time.

M4K825CAN module supports up to 10 ARINC-825 CAN Bus channels
