Multiprotocol PCIe Avionics Communication Board

Excalibur Systems is proud to release the latest carrier board in the 4000 family of multiprotocol carrier boards. The EXC-4000PCIe is a x1 PCI express card complying to PCIe specification 1.1.  It supports up to four independent 4000 family avionics communication modules, allowing multiple different protocols to be mixed and matched on a single card.  Additionally, the EXC-4000PCIe supports fast DMA transfers for reducing processor and system latency time. 

Each module can support any of the following protocols:

  • ARINC-429/575 (5 or 10 channels per module)
  • ARINC-708/453 (2 channels per module)
  • MIL-STD-1553 (single function, multifunction, or monitor only)
  • MIL-STD-1760
  • Discrete I/O (20 channels per module)
  • Serial RS485/RS422/RS232 (2 or 4 channels per module)
  • H009
  • CAN 2.0 (2, 4, or 6 channels per module)
  • MMSI (AS5652)

The EXC-4000PCIe supports extensive error injection and detection capabilities, IRIG B Time Code input, and can be ordered with an extended operating temperature range of -40ºC to +85ºC and conformal coating.

It is supplied with C drivers, including source code, MerlinPlus and Mystic software for Windows, and is fully compatible with Excalibur’s Exalt PlusAnalysis Laboratory Tools.
