The PMC-MMSI from GE Intelligent Platforms
is a flexible, current release, EBR-1553/
MMSI PMC mezzanine board interface. The
PMC-MMSI includes advanced API (Applica-
tion Programming Interface) software that
will reduce application development time.
Standard features include LTC1685 RS-485
fail-safe transceivers, 1 Mbyte of RAM,
48-bit message time-tagging, extensive
BC & RT link-list structures, error detection,
automatic/manual RT Status Bit and Mode
Code responses, along with advanced BC
functionality. Transition cabling to standard
1553 cable jacks is provided for eight lines
and one monitor line.
EBR-1553/MMSI Interfaces
The PMC-MMSI interfaces incorporate the
latest release of the EBR-1553/MMSI SAE
AS-1A2 task group specification and sup-
port the hardwire Link-Mode as typically
used for weapon racks.
Single-function Interfaces
Each single-function PMC-MMSI inter- face
has all the features and functionality
required to perform the EBR-1553/MMSI and
Link-mode specifications for a 12-line Bus
Controller, 12 Remote Terminals or a Dual
Mode Monitor, one function per interface.
In Bus Monitor mode the PMC-MMSI sup-
ports either a Composite Monitor input or
an individual Terminal Monitor with error
detection.
