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".

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.

825CAN Module
M4K825CAN
-
Each M4K825CAN module contains up to ten channels. In receive mode, the module stores all or selected messages with status and Time Tag information appended to each message. In transmit mode, the module operates via a transmit Bandwidth Frame which allows scheduling of data transmissions and reduces the need for host computer intervention.

MIL-STD-1553 MCH
M4K1553MCH
-
The M4K1553MCH 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.The M4K1553MCH 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 M4K1553MCH comes complete with Windows software, and a C driver software library including source code.

H009 Modules
-
M4KH009 modules can operate as a Central Computer Complex (CCC) and/or up to sixteen 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. The module also supports error injection and detection, and all control parameters and data may be updated in real time. Note: The M4KH009 Module is a "double size" module, and occupies two vertically adjacent sockets in the EXC-4000 carrier Board.

PCMCIA Card
DAS-429PCMCIA/RT10
-
Both cards contain 68 Kbytes of true dual-port RAM, for data blocks, control registers and Look-up table, mapped within the Common Memory space. The card also contains a FLASH-based Card Information Structure (CIS) within the Attribute Memory space.The cards comply with the Personal Computer Memory Card International Association (PCMCIA Release 2.1) standard, including Plug and Play. The card's small size and suitability for PCMCIA compatible notebook computers with Type II and Type III slots make it a complete solution for developing and testing ARINC-429 interfaces and for performing system simulation of the ARINC-429 bus, both in the lab and in the field.The cards are supplied with C drivers, including source code, Mystic Windows software and may be used with Exalt, Excalibur’s Analysis and Laboratory Tools, a Windows monitoring application.

M8K1553Px(S)
Interface Module
The M8K1553Px(S) 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.Each M8K1553Px 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 M8K1553Px 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 M8K1553PxS single function module operates either as a Bus Controller, Remote Terminal, or Bus Monitor.NOTE: the M8K1553PxS module is NOT compatible to the M4K1553MCH module.The M8K1553Px(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.

Multi Protocol Boards
-
The EXC-4000 carrier board series was developed to meet the needs of avionic testers for multi-protocol integrated, digital bus testing. Modules may be selected out of a growing list which currently includes MIL-STD-1553/1760, MMSI, H009, ARINC-429, ARINC-708/453, Serial (232/422/485), Discrete and CAN bus. Additionally, an IRIG B decoder implements a global time stamp relative to the IRIG B pulses. The need for higher density, different protocols, and multi-channel on one integrated test card has made the EXC-4000 series very successful.
