ME1000 mPCIe Interface Cards

 

ME1000 mPCIe cards enable space-constrained embedded systems to interface with avionics databuses. These rugged cards provide the capability to reliably communicate with, analyse, simulate and monitor avionics equipment and systems. They are ideal for use in small mission computers for UAVs and other aerial platforms, laptops, and tablets.

 

  • 1 or 2 dual-redundant MIL-STD-1553 channels
  • Up to 12 ARINC 429 and 717 channels
  • Rugged Extended Temperature Design
  • Single- or Multi-function MIL-STD-1553 models
  • IRIG time synchronisation/generation: A/B PWM and AM
  • Up to 8 Avionics Discrete I/O
  • Differential Discrete I/O*
  • RS-422/485 Serial*
  • Easy-to-use software interface
  • RoHS compliant
  • Optional conformal coating

*MIL-STD-1553 models only

ME1000 interface cards use Ballard’s time-tested 5th generation avionics protocol engine, a large 32 MB built-in memory, and high-performance bus mastering capability. The rugged product features an extended temperature range. For added protection, conformal coating of the board is available as an option.

The ME1000 provides full concurrent Bus Controller (BC), Remote Terminal (RT), and Bus Monitor operation. In addition, multi-function features protocol error injection (word, gap, and message errors). If concurrent operation is not required, Ballard’s cost-effective single-function cards provide BC/RT/Monitor operation separately.
