OmniBus® II PCIe Databus Interface Cards

The OmniBus II PCIe card enables computers and networks to interface with multiple avionics databuses for testing, validating and simulating commercial and military avionics equipment and systems. It is highly configurable and includes two internal Cores that can be populated with a variety of databus protocols and discrete I/O modules.

The OmniBus II PCIe is the next-generation of Ballard’s popular OmniBus product with faster I/O and processing capabilities. With the newest advanced set of MIL-STD-1553 and ARINC 429 modules, users can verify wave form compatibilities, test functions of bus shorts and opens, and—when combined with CoPilot® Analyze Software—perform lab, production and flight test verification and simulation right out of the box. Readily available as Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) products, the PCIe interface is perfect for challenging simulation, test, interface, and data recording applications.
