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 for Two Dual-Redundant 1760 Channels
EXC-1553PCMCIA/Px-1760
This credit card sized interface supports up to two dual redundant 1760 channels and is compatible with all common variations of MIL-STD-1760 providing a wide range of features normally found only on full size testers. Each channel of the EXC-1553PCMCIA/Px-1760 operates simultaneously as a Bus controller and/or multiple (up to 32) Remote Terminals, or as a Triggerable Bus Monitor. The card supports Checksum, SRQ bit and Header Words as well as error injection and error detection. The card’s small size and compatibility with notebook computers make it the perfect solution for performing system simulation of the MIL-STD-1553 bus, in the lab and in the field.The EXC-1553PCMCIA/Px-1760 card is supplied with C drivers, including source code, Merlin+ Windows software and may be used with Exalt, Excalibur’s Analysis and Laboratory Tools, a Windows monitoring application.

Conduction Cooled XMC Interface Board with PCI Express Host Interface, Supporting up to 4 PX Modules, 2 RTx 5 Channel Modules, 1 Discrete & 1 Serial Module
EXC-8000ccXMC
The EXC-8000ccXMC is part of Excalibur’s 8000 family of multiprotocol boards. This conduction cooled XMC interface board has a PCI Express host interface and supports up to 4 Px modules, 2 RTx 5 channel modules, 1 Discrete and 1 Serial module. Due to the constraints of the XMC specification the modules are integrated onto the board itself rather than as physically separate modules.The EXC-8000ccXMC supports Direct Memory Access (DMA), which enables the board to access system memory for reading and writing independently of the computer’s CPU. This results in faster data transfer to and from modules that support DMA, with much less CPU overhead than when not using DMA.

Intelligent Double Sized H009 Interface Module for Excalibur 8000 Family of Carrier Boards
M8KH009
The M8KH009 is an intelligent, double-sized, H009 interface module for the multimode, multiprotocol, EXC-8000 family of carrier boards. The M8KH009 provides a complete solution for developing and testing H009 interfaces and performing system simulation of the H009 bus, according to the standard H009 protocol. Each module of the M8KH009 contains 32K x 16 dualport RAM for Data Blocks, control registers, and Look-up tables. In addition, the module contains another 32K x 16 dual-port RAM for a Concurrent Monitor. All data blocks and control registers are memory mapped, and may be accessed in real-time. Each of the independent, dual-redundant M8KH009 modules may be programmed to operate in one of three modes of operation: Central Control Complex (CCC) mode with Concurrent Peripheral Unit operation (1–16 PUs), Peripheral Unit mode (Multiple – up to 16 PUs) and Bus Monitor mode. In addition, the module can simultaneously operate as an independent Internal Concurrent Monitor in CCC, Multiple PU or CCC/Concurrent PU modes.
