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".

Interface Module for the Multimode, Muliprotocol Excalibur 8000 Family Carrier Boards
M8K1553MCH
The M8K1553MCH interface module for the multimode, multiprotocol, Excalibur 8000 family of carrier boards provide a complete solution for developing and testing 1553 interfaces and performing system simulation of the MIL-STD-1553 bus. The module handles all standard variations of the MIL-STD-1553 protocol.The M8K1553MCH contains 32k x 16 of dual-port RAM for Data blocks, Control registers, and Look-up tables. All Data blocks and Control registers are memorymapped and may be accessed in real time. The dual-redundant 1553 module may be programmed to operate in one of four modes of operation: Bus Controller, Remote Terminal, RT/Concurrent-Bus Monitor, and Bus Monitor. The M8K1553MCH comes complete with Windows software, and a C driver software library including source code.

Ruggedized PC104+ & PCIe/104 System
Dragon
Excalibur’s Dragon is an advanced, ruggedized PC104 and PC104+ system in an enclosed, modular casing. The system is appropriate for use in data acquisition, recording nd control for any combination of ARINC-429, MIL-STD-1553, Serial, Discrete or similar types of communication. The modular, stack through design of the PC104/PC104+ platform allows you to build a tailor-made configuration based on Excalibur’s extensive range of boards plus any 3rd party cards of the customer’s choosing. Our engineers will integrate and test all 3rd party cards to the customer’s specification.

Interface Module for the Multimode, Multiprotocol Excalibur 400 Family of Carrier Boards
M4K1553Px(S)
The M4K1553Px(S) interface module for the multimode, multiprotocol, Excalibur 4000 family of carrier boards provide a complete solution for developing and testing 1553 interfaces and performing system simulation of the MIL-STD-1553 bus. The module handles all standard variations of the MIL-STD-1553 protocol.Each M4K1553Px multi function module contains 64K bytes of dual-port RAM for Data blocks, Control registers, and Look-up Tables. All Data blocks and Control registers are memory mapped, and may be accessed in real time. Each of the independent dual redundant M4K1553Px modules may be programmed to operate in one of three modes of operation: Remote Terminal, Bus Controller/Concurrent-RT, and Bus Monitor. In addition, modules 1 and 3 can be programmed to operate as Concurrent monitors, to modules 0 and 2 respectively.Each M4K1553PxS single function (RT validated) module operates either as a Bus Controller, Remote Terminal, or Bus Monitor.

Protocol Converter
MACC
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.
