Overview

MIL-STD-1553 & ARINC PMC Interface Card

The CPCIC3/6-MA4 interface module from Alta Data is a multi-channel, multi-protocol 1553 and ARINC cPCI card supported by the latest software technologies.

The CPCIC3/6-MA4’s BC capability includes variable message/label framing/subframing with transmission scheduling provides the most advanced control operations. ARINC TX has complete frequency control per channel. RT and ARINC RX, Monitor, Playback and Signal Generator functions also include industry leading functions to meet the most demanding requirements.

AltaCore is guaranteed 1553B Notice II & IV and ARINC compliant and all cards are manufactured to the highest IPC-Level 3 standards and certified ISO 9001:2008 processes.
