MB11.01 system software - Projects

MB11.01 Exchange Channel Module device provides data exchange according to MIL-STD-1553.
    The device is designed as a card to PC, it should be inserted into the PCI slot and is designed for operating as a part of testing and debugging architecture.
    The card is designed by the RC Module, which is known mostly for its neuroprocessors and corresponding software.
    BU-61580 microcircuit manufactured by ILC DDC (USA) is the heart of the card. This chip includes tranceiver for getting connected to the channel and MIL-STD-1553 protocol logic. Apart from BU-61580 there is a RAM bank (128K of words), PCI controller and managing logic. How it looks

MIL-STD-1553 is a protocol of data exchange through a serial channel with Manchester encoding and common bus architecture with an assigned controller. Channel’s bandwitch is 1 MB/second. Channels of this kind are used mostly in computational units on planes, rockets, space ships.

System software of the card consists of run time library (RTL2) and a driver (which is indispensable due to the fact that some operations can be carried out only in kernel mode of the operating system).

RTL2 library makes access to the device easier for any application, and it also provides interaction between applications and exchange channel at a higher level of abstraction, in terms of MIL-STD-1553 protocol rather than in terms of registers of device.

The library is written in the C language and is oriented to 32 bits processors and operating systems.

For the present the library and driver of the device was completed for MS Windows 95/98 platform.

Need more detailed information about the library? Download header files (.h), they’re extensively commented.

RTL2 library can be obtained only with an MB11.01 card. If you want to buy the card, contact RC Module.

If you design exchange devices with BU-61580 chip or compatible with it (BU-65170, BU-61585, BU-61590, BU-65178, BU-61588, BU-65179, BU-61688, BU-61689, BU-61582, BU-61583, BU-65620, BU-65621), we can adapt RTL2 to work with your devices. This work can be done by additional agreement. You’ll have the right of unlimited distribution of the RTL2 clone, specially adapted for your purposes.

Same offer to organizations, that don’t make devices on the base of BU-XXXX themselves, but use them and either don’t have RTL for them or aren’t satisfied with the RTL they have.
