This unit
The DDC BUS-65515II is a MIL-STD-1553B interface module for IBM PC systems that functions as a Bus Controller (BC), Remote Terminal Unit (RTU), or Monitor Terminal (MT). This full-size printed circuit card provides dual-redundant MIL-STD-1553B connectivity, enabling avionics system communication, simulation, and testing directly from the host PC.
Technical Specifications
Data Bus Standard: MIL-STD-1553B (Dual Redundant)
Host Interface: IBM PC Bus (ISA or compatible)
Form Factor: Full-size IBM PC printed circuit card
Memory: 4K x 16 dual-access RAM with double-buffered architecture
Time Tagging: Onboard Time Tag Counter for event timestamping
Message Support: All dual redundant MIL-STD-1553B message formats and mode codes
Configuration: Jumper programmable interrupt level and RTU address selection
Key Features
Multi-Mode Operation: BC, RTU, and MT modes support diverse testing and simulation workflows without requiring separate hardware.
Data Integrity: Double-buffered memory prevents partially updated data from being read by the CPU or transmitted to the bus.
Built-In-Test: Dynamic wrap-around BIT capability enables rapid self-diagnostics of module functionality.
Integrated Architecture: Single-card design minimizes integration complexity in PC-based test systems.
Full MIL-STD-1553B Compliance: Supports all standard message formats, mode codes, and dual redundant bus operation.
Typical Applications
Avionics system development and validation
MIL-STD-1553B bus simulation and emulation
Real-time data acquisition and monitoring
Integration testing for airborne and ground-based systems
Compatibility & Integration The module integrates into IBM PC systems and requires appropriate software drivers and APIs for BC, RTU, and MT operation. Implementation with DOS-based operating systems and IBM PC-compatible architectures is supported.
DDC BUS-65515II — Repair & Calibration Service
Aumictech offers NIST-traceable calibration and repair for the DDC BUS-65515II. 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 DDC BUS-65515II 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.
