The Abaco Systems / Condor Engineering cPCI-1553C-MM is a CompactPCI interface module that implements MIL-STD-1553A/B and MacAir protocol support for avionics, defense, and embedded test systems. It operates as a Bus Controller (BC), Remote Terminal (RT), Bus Monitor (BM), or multi-function combination on a single CompactPCI card with 1 or 2 independent, dual-redundant MIL-STD-1553 channels. The module provides 1 MB RAM per channel and supports balanced-line dual redundant architecture with selectable transformer or direct coupling at the physical layer.
– Technical Specifications
• Interface Standard: MIL-STD-1553A/B
• Protocol Support: MIL-STD-1553A/B, MacAir
• Form Factor: CompactPCI (cPCI), 3U and 6U platforms
• Channels: 1 or 2 independent, dual-redundant MIL-STD-1553 channels
