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".

Ethernet
-
The M4K-ETH is an intelligent Gigabit Ethernet interface module for the multiprotocol Excalibur 4000 family of carrier boards (only 64 bit versions). The module supports 10Mhz, 100Mhz and 1Ghz Full Duplex UDP/IP Ethernet.The receive channels allow for the storage of all packets to all MAC and IP addresses with status and Time Tag information appended to each packet. The receivers allow for filtering based on MAC address, IP address and UDP port. The transmit channels enable the user to define a Bus list which controls timing and order of packets without host intervention or immediate mode which enables the host to transmit packets at will.

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.

M8K1760Px(S)
-
The M8K1760Px(S) interface module for the multimode, multiprotocol, Excalibur 8000 family of carrier boards provide a complete solution for developing and testing MIL-STD-1760 interfaces and performing system simulation of the MIL-STD-1760 bus. The module handles all standard variations of the MIL-STD-1760 protocol.Each M8K1553Px-1760 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 M8K1760Px 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.In addition, Checksum, SRQ bit and Header Words are supported on each channel, as well as, error injection (BC and RT modes) and error detection (all modes).Each M8K1760PxS single function module operates either as a Bus Controller, Remote Terminal, or Bus Monitor.The M8K1760Px(S) comes complete with Windows software, a C-driver software library including source code and may be used with Exalt, Excalibur’s Analysis and Laboratory Tools, a Windows monitoring application
