AMCX1553-x

General Features

The AMCX1553-x is a member of AIM’s next generation of PMC modules targeted to embedded MIL-STD-1553 applications. The AMCX1553-x offers full function test, simulation, monitoring and databus analyzer capabilities providing 1, 2 or 4 dual redundant bus streams.

• Concurrently acts as Bus Controller, Multiple Remote Terminals (31) and Chronological/Mailbox Bus Monitor
• Physical Replay capability- electrically reconstruct and replay previously recorded MIL-STD-1553A/B record files physically to the
  MIL-STD-1553A/B bus with excellent timing accuracy
• Versions with reduced functionality (Single Function or Simulator Only) are available as well as extended temperature range variants
• Capability to handle 8 General Purpose Discrete I/O (GPIO) signals which can be monitored or controlled
• Designed to be installed on either a host carrier board to adapt to buses (like standard PCI/PCIe, VME/VPX, cPCI/cPCIe) or on an embedded host computer

Common Core Hardware Design
The AMCX1553-x modules use AIM’s ‘Common Core’ hardware design utilizing FPGA technology combined with RISC processors
(Bus Interface Units) to support MIL-STD-1553 bus protocol handling for precise scheduling of simulated messages acting as a Bus Controller and/or as multiple Remote Terminals as well as timestamping of received messages with 1µs resolution for Bus Monitor operation.

Onboard Processing – IRIG-B Time Synchronization
The use of onboard processors for MIL-STD-1553 protocol handling and large memory enables autonomous operation with minimal interaction with the host PC for real time applications. An onboard IRIG-B time encoder/decoder is included with sinusoidal output and free-wheeling mode for time tag synchronization on system level.

Board Software Package – Optional Analyzer Software/Test Plan Software
Full function driver software is delivered with the AMCX1553-x cards in comprehensive Board Software Packages (BSP’s) for different Operating Systems.
The optional PBA.pro™ Databus Test and Analysis Tool (for Windows and Linux) can also be purchased for use with AMCX1553-x modules. Off the shelf test scripts are available to support the automatic execution of the AS4112 RT Production Test Plan (Protocol and Electrical Tests) and the AS4111 RT Validation Test Plan (Protocol Tests).
