- Operating Modes: Bus Controller (BC), Remote Terminal (RT) with support for up to 31 RTs, Bus Monitor (BM)
- Memory Architecture: 8 K bytes shared memory (4K 16-bit words) message space; 8 K bytes dual-ported RAM per channel
- Timestamp Resolution: 48-bit timetags for message event recording
- Maximum Data Rate: 1 MHz
- Master Clock: 16 MHz (derived from IndustryPack 8 MHz clock)
- Operating Temperature: 0°C to 70°C standard; extended temperature and 883B qualified components available on special order
- Module Format: Single-wide IndustryPack
Key Features
- Dual-Redundant Bus Interface: Supports both direct coupled (short stub) and transformer coupled (long stub) configurations; transformer coupling is standard
- Configuration Variants: BC/MT/RT, BC/MT/RT with RT latch, RT only, and RT only with RT latch options
- Flexible RT Addressing: RT latch capability allows software-programmable RT address assignment

Abaco Systems / SBS / Greenspring IP-1553 — Repair & Calibration Service
Aumictech offers NIST-traceable calibration and repair for the Abaco Systems / SBS / Greenspring IP-1553. 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 / Greenspring IP-1553 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.
Abaco Systems / SBS / Greenspring IP-1553 price
This Abaco Systems / SBS / Greenspring IP-1553 is listed at $5,699. Calibration is available separately from $450. Contact us for volume pricing or if you need multiple units.
Abaco Systems / SBS / Greenspring IP-1553 calibration cost
NIST-traceable calibration for the Abaco Systems / SBS / Greenspring IP-1553 is $450 (standard — pass/fail certificate and calibration sticker) or $650 (full measured data at every test point, reference standards documented, traceability chain included). Calibration for this instrument 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.. Turnaround is 1 to 3 business days after receipt. See full calibration details →
