They provide extensive 1553 functionality and are used to communicate with, simulate, test, and monitor 1553 equipment and systems. These high-density high-performance cards are suitable for applications ranging from test equipment to rugged deployable systems. A wide selection of models is available: XMC and PMC, front and rear panel I/O, various 1553 channel counts and capabilities, and optional ARINC 429, 717, 708, and serial interfaces. They all include avionics discretes, timers, IRIG synchronization/generation, and differential interfaces usable as discrete I/O. All models may be used in either conduction or convection cooled systems. A separate brochure describes the ARINC protocol capabilities for the Mx5. Hardware Mx5 cards incorporate the latest 5th generation protocol engine and use bus mastering to yield high performance. They support maximum data throughput on all 1553 channels and have a large 64 MB built-in memory with error correction. Depending upon the hardware model, 1553 channels may be either single- function or multi-function. Single-function channels can be configured in software as either a Bus Controller (BC), a Bus Monitor (BM), or up to 32 Remote Terminals (RTs). All models include comprehensive error detection and reporting. Multi- function channels have protocol error injection capability and can simultaneously be a BC, BM, and up to 32 RTs. Software Users can develop their own software applications with the included BTIDriver API. With only a few function calls a program can operate an Mx5 and process messages to and from the avionics databuses. Functions include routines for transmitting, receiving, scheduling, recording, time-tagging, and manipulating data. An Mx5 card can use applications developed for other Ballard devices. Code migrates seamlessly from BTIDriver compatible devices or through a translation driver from older Ballard devices.

They provide extensive functionality and are used to communicate with, simulate, test, and monitor ARINC 429, ARINC 717, ARINC 708 and MIL-STD-1553 equipment and systems. These high-density high-performance cards are suitable for applications ranging from test equipment to rugged deployable systems. A wide selection of models is available: XMC and PMC, front and rear panel I/O, various ARINC channel counts and capabilities, and optional MIL-STD-1553 and serial interfaces. They all include avionics discretes, timers, IRIG synchronization/generation, and differential interfaces useable as discrete I/O. All models may be used in either conduction or convection cooled systems. Each card can be ordered with one or more avionics protocols, saving card space, while providing the most cost effective solution. This data sheet focuses on Mx5 capability for ARINC 429 (general purpose databus), ARINC 717 (flight data recorder databus), and ARINC 708 (weather radar display databus). Mx5 capability for MIL-STD-1553 is described in a separate data sheet. Hardware Mx5 cards incorporate the latest 5th generation protocol engine and use bus mastering to yield high performance. They support maximum data throughput on all channels and have a large 64 MB built-in memory with error correction. Once configured, the Mx5 hardware performs all protocol processing. It manages the reception, transmission, error checking, time-tagging and buffering of messages. This frees the host software to focus on high-level user-specific processing. Software Users can develop their own software applications with the included BTIDriver API. With only a few function calls a program can operate an Mx5 and process messages to and from the avionics databuses. Functions include routines for transmitting, receiving, monitoring, scheduling, recording, time-tagging, and manipulating data. An Mx5 card can use applications developed for other Ballard devices.
