Excalibur Systems, Inc.
Established in 1986, Excalibur Systems started with an idea, with a desire to create and achieve. We designed the first ARINC-429 interface card for the personal computer and we have not looked back since. Today, Excalibur manufactures hundreds of products for the Avionics Industry. From connectors, cables, couplers and cards to sophisticated complete systems, our commitment to customer service is legendary. Excalibur has received numerous awards, accolades and commendations for our products and more importantly for our service and support. Excalibur builds and maintains long-standing relationships with our customers, which we refer to as our "partners".

MIL-STD-1553 Interface Board
EXC-4000VME/MCH-x / EXC-4000VXI/MCH-x
The EXC-1553VME/MCH and EXC-1553VXI/MCH cards are based on a MIL-STD 1553 certified "Summit" chip used in many flight critical systems. Each dual redundant channel supports both MIL-STD-1553A and MIL-STD 1553B protocols. Up to eight channels may be programmed individually to operate as a Bus Controller, Remote Terminal, Bus Monitor, or Remote Terminal / Concurrent Bus Monitor. The 32 K x 16 of RAM allotted to each channel for the storage of data and control parameters may be updated in real time.

Protocol Converter
MACC2
When designing or upgrading avionics systems we are often faced with the task of integrating components that were not originally designed to work together.A control computer that communicates using RS-232 may need to control component that expects MIL-STD-1553 messages or an INS may put out ARINC-429 labels, which are needed by Multi function Display designed around RS-422.Faced with problems like these, integrators must choose between two poor options. They must either give up on one of the units in favor of another unit that may be less suitable but uses the appropriate communications spec; or they must add a computer system – often PC104 – which can translate from one unit to the other. These computers are generally large, heavy, hot, and require substantial power.
