MIL-STD-1553 / ARINC 429 Cards
8 channels Compact PCI (cPCI) Avionics interface card or tester
Versatile cPCI card supporting multiple avionics interfaces, such as:
WB-194, MIL-STD-1553 cPCI, digital and avionics discrete I/Os, ARINC 429 card, RS-485, H009, and additional communication protocols.
cPCI HyperBoard is a cPCI-compatible, multi-standard board that consists of up to 8 channels of MIL STD 1553 cPCI.
It exhibits compatibility with protocols such as MIL-STD-1760 and MIL-STD-1553B. This allows individual configuration of its channels to integrate with H009 and WB194 in tandem with 1553 (with support for various other protocols as well).
Advanced Interface Options and High-Level Integration
The board includes four channels that can be configured with the following: RS-485/RS-422, IRIG-B, orARINC 429 interface cards. It also includes eight avionics I/O ports and eight digital I/Os.
cPCI HyperBoard is software-compatible with DDC® Enhanced MiniACE® components and architecture.
mPCIe integration in demanding avionics environments. With 32K or 64K words of internal RAM per channel, our cPCI HyberBoard enables fast and easy integration with existing or new systems, which you can design for your customers.
Simplified Application Development with Extensive Support
Understanding the challenges involved in avionics system development, the cPCI HyperBoard is complemented by inclusive software support. Equipped with drivers for both Windows and Linux and a high-level API, the board simplifies application development.
Additionally, Sital’s Luthier™ program for 1553 bus simulation, with its advanced GUI for bus simulation and analysis, allows for efficient control, traffic generation, and emulation of real bus environments. This smoothens the testing and integration process.
The cPCI HyperBoard excels in testing configurations, offering concurrent BC, Multi-RT, and Monitoring capabilities for all supported protocols. It allows for the introduction of errors and enhanced monitoring, facilitating thorough system testing and validation. The card’s design includes a coupler and attenuation network for direct connection to units under test to stress its role as an essential tool in avionics testing and development. Here is the list of features included:
• Includes Couplers and Attenuation network for direct connection to units under test
• Features up to 8 dual-redundant MIL-STD-1553B channels
• Depending on the card model, channels can be configured independently or concurrently for H009, WB-194, and 1553 mPCIe or 1553 XMC applications.
• Each channel is compatible with MIL-STD-1553B Notice 2 and MIL-STD-1760, allowing configuration as BC or RT+MT.
• RAM capacity per channel: 32K or 64K words
• Tester configuration accommodates concurrent BC, Multi-RT, and Monitoring for all protocols. This also consists of features like the introduction of errors and improved monitoring capabilities.
