This unit
The Abaco Systems ABI-PMC2-2 is a dual-channel MIL-STD-1553 PMC interface card delivering full-function bus control, remote terminal emulation, and bus monitoring in a single module. Built on Advanced Bus Interface (ABI) architecture, it enables concurrent and independent operation of a Bus Controller, up to 31 Remote Terminals, and dual-function Bus Monitor across one or two dual-redundant MIL-STD-1553 channels. The card complies with both MIL-STD-1553A and MIL-STD-1553B standards and uses pointer-driven transmit and receive buffers with link-list memory architecture for efficient data handling.
Technical Specifications
- Interface: MIL-STD-1553 Dual Channel PMC (PCI Mezzanine Card)
- Channels: 1 or 2 dual-redundant MIL-STD-1553 channels
- Standards: MIL-STD-1553A and MIL-STD-1553B
- Buffer Architecture: Pointer-driven transmit and receive buffers with link-list memory
- Host Memory: 128 kB dual-port RAM for setup, monitoring, and data structure changes
- Interrupts: Extensive programmable event interrupts
- Optional Interfaces: 28-channel discrete I/O, 4-channel RS-422, 48-bit IRIG-B clock input
- Weight: 2.44 oz to 3.84 oz
Key Features
- Bus Controller supports linked command lists (BC-to-RT, RT-to-BC, RT-to-RT, mode code, broadcast, time delay block transmissions)
- Remote Terminal simulation uses pointer-based RT definition tables linked to control data buffers
- Bus Monitor operates in Map and Sequential modes with time-stamping and double-buffering options
- Comprehensive error table generation and monitoring
- Available in Commercial, Extended Temperature (XT), and Conduction Cooled versions
Typical Applications System-level integration, laboratory environments, simulation platforms, and test equipment development.

Abaco Systems / SBS ABI-PMC2-2 — Repair & Calibration Service
Aumictech offers NIST-traceable calibration and repair for the Abaco Systems / SBS ABI-PMC2-2. 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-PMC2-2 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.
