The DNx-1553-553 is a high performance, two-channel MIL-STD-1553 card that is a perfect MIL-STD-1553 to Ethernet converter. Each channel operates fully independently and provides a complete dual, redundant MIL STD 1553 interface. Each channel may be set as MIL STD 1553a, MIL STD 1553b, MIL STD 1553c, and the "b" interface fully implements specification notices 1 and 2. Each channel is transformer coupled, though direct coupling is available as an option.
Most 1553 card functions are implemented by the on-board FPGA. This greatly reduces the burden placed on the Cube CPU and ensures the DNx-1553-553 does not interfere with the functionality of other I/O boards installed.
Each channel may be independently configured as Bus Controller (BC), Remote Terminal (RT) or Bus Monitor (BM). As a Bus Controller, the board supports all standard BC-RT, RT-BC, and RT-RT transfers and Mode Code, One-shot, and Broadcast messaging. The Remote Terminal support allows the board to be set at a single RT address, or to emulate the entire bus up to 32 different RTs. The RT implementation supports single, double, and circular message buffering. Bus Monitoring (BM) mode provides the ability to monitor all activity, or select activity based upon RT address or Mode Code. In addition to monitoring data, BM mode monitors time tags, error status, and RT response time. Finally, each DNA-1553-553 channel may be set to simultaneously act as an RT and a BM.
The DNx-1553-553 is well suited for the harsh environments sometimes encountered in-flight testing applications. The board is specified for operation from -40° to +85°C, from 0 to 60,000 feet. The system is also fully tested for operation at 5 g vibration and up to 50 g shock.
The DNx-1553-553 includes our 1553 API, which has been designed to offer simple, easy-to-use controls and yet maintain the ability to access all 1553 functionality. The software driver is compatible with all popular operating systems including Vista, Windows, Linux as well as many real-time OS's including INtime, QNX, RT Linux and more. Software support is also included for all popular programming languages and application packages including LabVIEW. Please see our videos and tutorials on UEI'S 1553 solutions.
In this introduction to UEI’s 1553 offering, we provide an overview of the I/O board and begin to answer the question, "How do I use a variety of programming languages to access the full functionality of UEI’s MIL-STD-1553 I/O components?"
In this session, we cover the Remote Terminal/Sub Addresses element of 1553 system. This includes learning how to set data words in the RT/SA for a RT-BC command, and how to read data words from the RT/SA after a BC-RT command.
In this session, we take a detailed look at the Bus Controller in a 1553 avionics system. This includes the Frame-based vs Multi-rate commands, FIFO base bus writer and how to modify the code to get the data you want.
In this continuation of our MIL-STD-1553 Master Class, you will learn all the ways our Bus Monitor can help you with your applications. We will cover adding a Bus Monitor to a channel, 2 ways to use the Bus Monitor to help debug missing words and commands from the bus, Raw Mode vs Full Message Mode and a COTS application for recording what the Bus Monitor sees.
The 1553 major minor frame scheduler is designed to run cyclic, multi-rate commands over and over again at preselected frequencies. Sometimes you need to send a command, or series of commands, just once. We've developed a technique to help you accomplish this.
UEI's MIL-STD-1553 API can be used to set up events that notify your application of important things happening in the system.
High-speed, precise timing on a UEI MIL-STD-1553 I/O board is not determined by the API you use but by the FPGA on the board itself.
UEI hardware is designed to be software flexible which means it works with a variety of different languages and programs including National Instruments' LabVIEW.
UEI's MIL-STD-1553 IO board not only runs all the components of a 1553 system, but also allows engineers to stress that system by injecting errors.
In a previous video we detail how you can also stress the system with bus errors: https://ueidaq.wistia.com/medi...
While UEI’s MIL-STD-1553 allows users to simulate a complete and fully functioning 1553 system, it also provides you the ability to inject errors to fully test your system’s real world error handling capabilities.
There are different types of bus controllers in the UEI 1553 system. In this video we show you how to identify each one and why you would use one or the other.
MIL-STD-1553 is a popular data transfer standard primarily used as an avionics bus since it's development in the 1970s. This tutorial provides a brief overview of 1553 - explaining how it works and why it continues to be as relevant and popular today as it was 40-years-ago.
The UEINet Avionics Gateway system gives you the following:
• Host or embedded control (Linux, VxWorks)
• Two independent Gigabit (1000/100/10Base-T) Ethernet Interfaces
(One port for Control, the second for diagnostics or
Both ports bonded/teamed for redundant network access)
• Ultra Compact: 2.7" x 4" x 4.1"
• Expandable to include over 60 different I/O configurations, including sensors, analog and digital I/O
• Rugged: 100 g shock, 5 g Vibration, −40 to +70 °C, 0 – 70,000 feet
• Complete Windows, Linux, VxWorks, QNX support and more!
• LabVIEW, MATLAB, C/C++, Java support and more!
UEI customers can use a variety of programming languages to access the full functionality of our MIL-STD-1553 components, but, to help get the data they need quickly, we’ve created a graphical utility we call PowerDNA Explorer. This video shows you how easy it is to set up and use.
Each line of data output by the 1553 Bus Monitor packs a lot of information. This video breaks down data into its component segments and explains the meaning of each word.

UEI's customer success story from ZedaSoft, Inc. President, GW Estep, on how UEI's PowerDNA cube was instrumental in running their C130 aircraft, F16 Fighter aircraft, Piper Malibu aircraft, and Apache Helicopter simulators. UEI quickly and seamlessly integrated with real and and simulated aircraft hardware.
UEI’s MIL-STD-1553 Dual Channel I/O board has a number of features that expand it's versatility including a bus monitor that you can use in a variety of ways.
Need to record 1553 data? UEI has a COTs product with this functionality built in, as well as a host of other features that allow you to easily customize the output format of the data and optionally simulate Bus Controllers and RT/SAs at the same time.
Missing data in your MIL-STD-1553 application? We have a simple solution.
UEI Cubes and RACKTangles can be connected wired or with commonly available wireless interfaces. In this video we show you how flexible our wireless avionics capability can be.
UEI's MIL-STD-1553 hardware arrives equipped with a "scheduler” which synchronizes the flow of data in the system. In this brief tutorial we demonstrate the major concepts behind the UEI 1553 major and minor frame scheduler.
Every UEI-1553 I/O board has a self-test feature which allows you to verify board functionality.
