Embedded Interface Solutions
Mx5 databus interface cards for XMC and PMC enable embedded systems to communicate with, simulate, test, and monitor avionics equipment and systems.
Do More with Less
Consolidate your I/O into a single expansion slot. The Mx5 comes with the avionics protocols and channels you need on one card.
Multiple Avionics Protocols
Choose one or a combination of two or more protocols on a single card: MIL-STD-1553, ARINC 429, 717, and 708. Mx5 also includes numerous discrete I/O.
High Channel Counts
The high density design gives you more channels to work with: as many as 8 dual-redundant MIL-STD-1553 or 22 ARINC 429.
Key Features
The Mx5 includes an array of other important features, including:
