MIL-STD-1553B/1773 Solutions  ISA Based  BISA-ISA-1553B

Overview

The BISA-ISA-1553B is a ISA bus based add-on card that can be hosted on any PC (PC-AT/386/486/Pentium) bus interface providing three independently configurable dual redundant Bus Controller/Remote Terminal/Monitor (based on DDC`s BU-61580 or 61588 Mini-ACE) on forming to MIL-STD-1553B Notice-2. The design supports a single PC hosting multiple modules – limitations being available system free slots and computational power of PC host. Thus, the BISA-ISA-1553B is an excellent choice for dynamic real-time avionics simulations. The on-board double buffered dual port memory facilitates parallel message preparation & transfers, increasing the effective throughput. The BISA-ISA-1553B comes with Bus Libraries, a powerful C-callable library routines to access the bus at various levels of abstraction, hardware complexities being transparent to the user.

The module is supported by an user friendly, menu driven, configurable software package under Windows-NT environment, with higher level functions like data formatting, logging, display etc. The performance of BISA-ISA-1553B is far superior to solutions offered by others around the globe. The board supports novel Transmitter shutdown feature (in S/W and H/W) in BC mode
