1553B Communication card on PCI Bus

AT-XMC-1553
Multichannel High Performance 1553 Mezzanine Module

Overview:

The ATS-PCI-1553 card provides a flexible, single function, dual redundant MIL-STD-1553B interface to the PCI backplane. It provides the highest level of performance and flexibility for MIL-STD-1553B protocol on the PCI bus. The card also provides optionally Digital I/Os. The ATS-PCI-1553 offers Simulation and Monitoring functions. The card comes integrated with a powerful software that reduces application development time. All databus functionality is supported by our advanced API (Application Programming Interface) & VIP (Virtual Instrument Panel).

Hardware:

The ATS-PCI-1553 comes with a choice of MIL-STD-1553B controllers from DDC or UTMC (See Ordering Information). The ATS-PCI-1553 card's single function architecture emulates a Bus Controller or 31 Remote Terminals or Bus Monitor or RT/MT modes. Polling and interrupt generation is also provided. The card is fully compliant to PCI Spec-Rev 2.2.

Transformer and Direct Coupling

The card can be configured to work either in the transformer coupled mode or in the direct coupled mode. A jumper is provided on the cards to select the mode. It is configured to work in the transformer coupled mode by default.

Digital I/O Channels

The card is equipped with 16 TTL/CMOS level digital I/O channels. These are pre-configured as 8 inputs and 8 outputs. These can be used to generate an interrupt on any type of level shift event.

SOFTWARE:

The ATS-PCI-1553 software includes:
· Virtual Instrument Panel
· Drivers & APIs

Virtual Instrument Panel

The ATS-PCI-1553 card comes with a “Virtual Instrument Panel” providing interactive control of all MIL-STD-1553B and Digital I/O features. The control interface appears on the computer display and user manipulates these controls with a mouse or keyboard. The purpose of Virtual Instrument Panel is to help the user (mostly system integrators) to quickly setup and use the card, just like a stand-alone instrument with physical front-end knobs, controls and display without getting into programming intricacies.

Drivers & APIs

The ATS-PCI-1553 card comes with a powerful set of library functions to access the entire MIL-STD-1553B and Digital I/O functionality. The drivers are designed in a modular fashion consisting of component functions and application functions. The user’s test program can be developed with few calls to the driver by using the set of application functions provided. Driver and high-level API libraries for Windows 98, 2000, XP, NT, Linux & RT-Linux are available. Sample programs for BC, RT, MT modes are included.
