This unit
The Abaco Systems ABI-PMC2-1 is a single-channel MIL-STD-1553 interface card in PCI Mezzanine Card (PMC) form factor for embedded defense and aerospace systems. It operates concurrently and independently as a Bus Controller (BC), Remote Terminal (RT), or Bus Monitor (BM), with dual-redundant 1553 channels supporting MIL-STD-1553A/B. The card integrates a high-speed DSP, programmable logic, and 256 kB dual-port RAM with flash-based firmware storage.
It delivers PCI 2.1 compliance at up to 132 MB/sec with 16-bit and 32-bit transfer modes, operating at 5 V and 3.3 V signal levels.
Technical Specifications
- MIL-STD-1553 Channels: 1 (dual redundant)
- Form Factor: IEEE P1386 PMC
- Memory: 256 kB dual-port RAM
- Bus Interface: PCI 2.1, 132 MB/sec maximum, 16-bit and 32-bit transfer modes
- Power: 5 V @ 1.5 A (98% bus activity), 1.0 A (bus inactive)
- Signal Levels: 5 V and 3.3 V compatible
Key Features
- Bus Controller: Programmable frame lists, BC-RT/RT-BC/RT-RT message types, mode codes, broadcasts, minor frame timing, intermessage gap selection, linked-list BC data buffers
- Remote Terminal: 31 RT support across all subaddresses, programmable response time, no-response timeout configuration, linked-list RT data buffers
- Bus Monitor: Dual monitoring modes - map monitoring with multiple linked buffers per subaddress, and sequential monitoring with 100% independent operation, double-buffered time-stamped messages (1 µs 32-bit clock, optional 48-bit IRIG-B)
- Error Monitoring: Comprehensive error table accessible by host processor
- Optional Interfaces: 4-channel RS-422, 28-channel discrete I/O, 48-bit IRIG-B clock input
- Connectors: 50-pin SCSI coupling
Typical Applications Mil-aerospace embedded systems requiring concurrent multi-role 1553 bus interface with independent operation across BC, RT, and BM functions.
Compatibility & Integration Available in commercial, extended temperature, and conduction-cooled configurations. Programmable DMA controller supports flexible memory architecture and on-the-fly data structure management.

Abaco Systems / SBS ABI-PMC2-1 — Repair & Calibration Service
Aumictech offers NIST-traceable calibration and repair for the Abaco Systems / SBS ABI-PMC2-1. Calibration covers analog input channel accuracy and offset at all gain settings, analog output accuracy, digital I/O logic threshold verification, sample rate and timing accuracy, and trigger and synchronization bus functional verification. NI CompactRIO and PXI chassis also undergo backplane trigger line integrity check.. All calibrations ship with a NIST-traceable certificate. Turnaround is typically 1–3 business days after receipt.
Common Abaco Systems / SBS ABI-PMC2-1 faults: power supply failure (cRIO-9073/9074), C-series slot connector wear, PXI chassis fan failure, GPIB interface failure on VXI controllers, BIOS/EEPROM corruption. NI CompactRIO most common faults are power supply failure on older cRIO-9073/9074 chassis and C-series module slot connector wear from repeated hot-swap cycles. PXI chassis fan failure is the most common wear item — chassis fans are field-replaceable. VXI embedded controllers most commonly develop EEPROM corruption and GPIB interface failure.
