The Systran GLD+VXI/SC Series MIL-STD-1553 Interface Modules provide powerful and convenient register-based interfaces between a
host computer and a MIL-STD-1553 data bus. They are C-size VXI modules. The
GLD+ boards enable the host to operate in real-time as a MIL-STD-1553A or B protocol
Bus Controller (BC), Multiple Remote Terminals (MRT) and/or Chronological Monitor
(CM). The Systran GLD+VXI/SC Series MIL-STD-1553 Interface Modules provide the host with complete access to data received or
transmitted on the bus and the ability to detect bus errors.
The Systran GLD+VXI/SC Series MIL-STD-1553 Interface Modules use a high-speed controller in conjunction with Dual-Port Random
Access Memory (RAM) to provide a complete, intelligent emulation system. Using onboard data structures located in the Dual-Port RAM, the board can sustain operation on
the bus without host intervention. In addition, the CM stores commands, status responses,
gap times and time tags within the same buffer.
The Systran GLD+VXI/SC Series MIL-STD-1553 Interface Modules have been manufactured as a single- (1A and 1B bus) or dual-channel (2A and 2B
buses) configuration. The dual-channel configuration provides all of the functionality of
two single boards and twice the amount of on-board dual-port RAM. Each channel
contains 64 K Words of dual-port RAM and may be mapped to one area of memory or
two different areas of memory.
The Systran GLD+VXI/C MIL-STD-1553 Multi-Function Interface Module can operate independently or simultaneously in BC,
MRT and CM modes. All MIL-STD-1553A or B protocol communication between
emulated devices occurs over the 1553 bus, rather than through a local bus. The three
operating modes provide extensive bus protocol error detection, such as parity and noresponse errors.
The Systran GLD+VXI/SC MIL-STD-1553 Single-Function Interface Module operates in the BC, MRT, or CM mode. A MIL-STD1553A or B protocol communication between emulated devices occurs over the 1553 bus
rather than through a local bus. The three operating modes provide extensive bus protocol
error detection, such as parity and no-response errors. The Systran GLD+VXI/SC MIL-STD-1553 Single-Function Interface Module
does not support error injection.
Systran GLD+VXI/SC Series MIL-STD-1553 Interface Modules are equipped with an RS-422 port. This port provides a Discrete
Output Signal (DOS) with a two-microsecond duration, which may be programmed to
signal the start of any buslist instruction. The port also allows for input of an external
elapsed timer (ELT) clock and reset signal, as well as a start trigger for the BC mode and
the CM mode.
The Systran GLD+VXI/SC Series MIL-STD-1553 Interface Modules have two on-board 32-bit elapsed timers. One timer is used for bus
controller inter-message timing while the other timer tracks absolute-simulation time for
the CM time stamping. Each timer has one-microsecond resolution.
The GLD+VXI/C Systran MIL-STD-1553 Multi-Function Interface Module may still be available for purchase and support from Artisan Technology Group beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).
