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".

Express Card
EXC-1553ExCard/Px
Each channel of the EXC-1553ExCard/Px operates simultaneously as a Bus Controller and/or multiple (up to 32) Remote Terminals, or as a Triggerable Bus Monitor. The card supports error injection and detection. The card’s small size and compatibility with notebook computers make it the perfect solution for performing system simulation of the MIL-STD-1553 bus, in the lab and in the field.

Multiprotocol P104Plus Interface Board for Embedded Applications or Avionics Test & Simulation Applications
EXC-4000P104plus
The EXC-4000P104plus is a multiprotocol P104plus interface board for embedded applications or avionics test and simulation applications. Each board holds up to five independent modules. Two on-board modules use the MIL-STD-1553 communications protocol (M4K1553Px); another on-board module uses the ARINC-429 communications protocol; two additional detachable modules can be any one of the following types:M4K1553PxS (Single Function - RT validated) This module operates as a Bus Controller, Remote Terminal or a Bus Monitor. This module qualifies for airborne applications.M4K1553Px (Multi Function) This module operates as a Bus Controller, up to 32 Remote Terminals and as a Bus Monitor. Supports an Internal Concurrent Monitor in RT and BC/RT modes.M4K1553Px(S)-1760 Same as M4K1553Px(S) plus MIL-STD-1760 options.M4KMMSI Mini Munitions Store Interface module.

Up to 8 hub ports EBR-1553 [10 Mbps 1553 protocol using RS-485 transceivers] and 1 monitor output.M4KH009 Based on our H009 family. This module operates as a Central Computer Complex (CCC) and/or up to 16 Peripheral Units (PUs) simultaneously, or as a Bus Monitor. In addition, a Concurrent Bus Monitor enables concurrent monitoring of the bus during CCC and PU simulation.M4K429RTx Based on our ARINC 429RxTx board. This module supports either five or ten ARINC 429 channels each of which can be configured in real time as a receive or transmit channel.M4K708 This module supports two channels of ARINC 708/453, each one selectable as either transmit or receive.M4KSerial This module supports up to 4 independent channels of serial communications, each of which can be selected as RS485, RS422 or RS232.M4KDiscrete This module supports 20 selectable input/open collector output discretes. The module supports TTL (0 to 5 volts) or avionics (0 to 32 volts) voltage levels.M4KCAN This module supports up to 6 independent channels of CAN 2.0B protocol with standard and extended message frames and message identifiers.

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.
