GE Intelligent Platforms R15-USB is the latest generation of performance and flexibility for MIL-STD-1553A/B Notice II using a high speed USB 2.0 interface with one or two dual-redundant MIL-STD1553A/B Notice II/IV channels. Available in

-40°C to +75°C temperatures (with relays) and ruggedized (without relays).

The R15-USB includes advanced API (Application Programming Interface) software that reduces application development time.

GE’s R15-USB’s standard features include: IRIG-B signal Receiver (AM or DC/TTL) / Generator (DC/TTL), software selectable transformer or direct coupling, 2 Mbytes of RAM, 64-bit, 25 nanosecond message timetagging, input and output triggers for each 1553 channel, extensive BC & RT linklist structures, error injection and detection, 8 bi-directional avionics level discretes, automatic and manual RT Status Bit and Mode Code responses, along with advanced BC functionality.

The R15-USB Bus Monitor provides unparalleled error detection and 100% monitoring of fully loaded buses.

Multi-function Interfaces

R15-USB multi-function interfaces are easily configured to operate with simultaneous Bus Controller, up to 31 Remote Terminals and Bus Monitor functionality.

Dual-function Interfaces

Dual-function R15-USB interfaces have all the features and functionality of the multifunction versions, with either Bus Monitor and Bus Controller or Bus monitor and up to 31 Remote terminals.

Software

GE Intelligent Platforms provides our advanced 1553 API in source code, along with support for Microsoft® Windows® 7 (32 and 64 bit), Vista, XP and other operating systems.

R15-USB provides lockable USB series B and DB-15 ports for secure connections.
