Alta Data Technologies XMC-MAS XMC interface card

Metromatics now offers Alta Data’s new multi-protocol XMC interface card, the XMC-MAS. This advanced card integrates MIL-STD-1553, ARINC and RS-232/422/485 interfaces into a single, compact solution, providing versatility for a range of avionics applications.

The interface card is designed for SBCs or carrier boards compatible with VPX, VME and cPCI/PXI systems. It is available in commercial-grade, extended temperature and rugged/conduction-cooled versions, making it suitable for use in cargo aircraft, helicopters and ground vehicles where size, weight and power consumption are critical.

The card features Multi-Protocol Support, with 1-2 MIL-STD-1553A/B channels, up to 4 ARINC channels and 4 asynchronous serial channels (RS-232/422/485). It also offers advanced 1553 and ARINC signal generation and A/D signal capture, simplifying system diagnostics and integration. Designed to meet the highest IPC-Level 3 manufacturing standards and certified to ISO 9001:2015, the card is also suitable for harsh environments.

The card includes the AltaCore engine and AltaAPI SDK for seamless software integration across multiple operating systems. AltaView analyser software is also included for comprehensive data monitoring.

The XMC-MAS is suitable for a range of applications, including avionics system integration; it simplifies system design by offering multiple communication protocols on a single platform. It is also useful for supporting critical communication and control systems in military and industrial vehicles.
