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".

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.

Interface Module for Multimode, Multiprotocol Excalibur 8000 Family of Carrier Boards, a Complete Solution for Developing & Testing 1553 Interfaces
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.

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.

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.

Multi-Channel (Up to Four) MIL-STF-1760 Interface Board for Conduction Cooled PCI Mezzanine Card Compatible Computers
EXC-1553ccPMC/Px(S)-1760
-
The EXC-1553ccPMC/Px(S)-1760 is a multi-channel (up to four) MIL-STD-1760 interface board for conduction cooled PCI Mezzanine Card compatible computers. In addition, Checksum, SRQ bit and Header Words are supported on each channel. Multi Function:Each channel operates simultaneously as a Bus controller and/or multiple (up to 32) Remote Terminals, or as a Triggerable Bus Monitor. In addition, error injection (BC and RT modes), error detection (all modes) and cableless internal loopback are supported on each channel. Single Function:Each channel operates either as a Bus Controller, Remote Terminal, or Bus Monitor.Each dual redundant 1760 channel can operate simultaneously as a Bus Controller and up to 32 Remote Terminals and as a Triggerable Monitor. In addition, error injection (BC and RT modes), error detection (all modes) and cableless internal loopback are supported on each channel.

Enhanced Serial Interface Module for the Multiprotocol Excalibur 4000 Family of Carrier Boards
M4KSerialPlus
Serial Interface
The M4KSerialPlus is an enhanced serial interface module for the multiprotocol Excalibur 4000 family of carrier boards, that includes several advanced features such as a high baud rate and high throughput. This module supports up to four independent channels of serial communications, each of which can be selected as RS-485, RS-422 or RS-232. The module operates independently of the host computer, reducing the need for host intervention.The M4KSerialPlus module is based on the Exar XR16M570 Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter (UART). The device is compatible to industry standard 16550 UARTs. Each of the M4KSerialPlus’s four channels contains a transmit FIFO capable of holding up to 16384 bytes and a receive FIFO capable of holding either 16384 receive bytes or 5460 bytes with a 32-bit Time Tag associated with each byte. These large buffers allow application code to transfer large quantities of data with a single non-blocking subroutine call. The 32-bit Time Tag on receive channels is very useful for synchronizing serial data with data from other modules on the 4000 board or on other interface boards. Each channel has a programmable baud rate of up to 10 Mbps and can be configured as RS-232, RS-422 or RS-485.The M4KSerialPlus module is supplied with C drivers, including source code.
