The 1553 test system is used to test systems using the MIL-STD-1553 communication protocol. The test system consists of a test card and a test program. The FPGA on the test card is programmed with 1553 IP Core, which is developed in-house. The relevant units are tested by selecting the appropriate operating mode (BC, RT, or BM) and scenario files via the test program. The test system tests these units by sending the user data it receives over the Ethernet interface to the units on the 1553 bus. There are four modules in the 1553 test system. Each module can be programmed as a bus controller, remote terminal, or bus monitor.
• Four modules can work at the same time as bus controller, remote terminal or bus monitor
• Configurable IP, MAC, gateway and subnet address
• Save simulation data in .pcap and .txt formats
• Manuel error can be added to measure fault performance
• Different transmission modes in BC mode : continuous, single or N-times
• Scenarios can be made active/passive during simulation run
• Data to be sent in response Tx commands can be updated during simulation run
• Up to 16 remote terminals can be simulated and each remote terminal can define up to 30 sub address
• Remote terminals and sub address can be made active/passive during simulation run
• Re-transmission of erroneous messages over same or alternate bus in BC mode
• Aperiodic message insertion
• Acting as MIL-STD-1553 Terminals
• System Integration Laboratory
• 1553 Test Equipment
• 8 x 1553 Connector (BJ-79)
• 5 x Information LED Indicator
• 1 x Error LED Indicator
• RJ-45 Ethernet Connector
• On / off switch
• Power: 12 VDC
• Weight: 600g
• Dimension (L x W x H) (mm): 200 x 108 x 32

A 1553 test system is a specialized tool used for testing, simulating, and analyzing MIL-STD-1553, a military standard that defines the data bus architecture and communication protocols for avionics systems in aircraft and other military vehicles. MIL-STD-1553 is widely used in the aviation and defense industries for data communication between avionics systems, sensors, displays, and other critical equipment.
A 1553 test system is designed to facilitate the testing of the 1553 bus by providing a controlled environment to simulate different conditions, monitor communication traffic, and ensure proper functionality of the systems that rely on this bus standard. These test systems are commonly used during the development, integration, maintenance, and testing of avionics and other military systems.
The 1553 Test System comes in various configurations, each designed to meet specific testing and simulation requirements for the MIL-STD-1553 bus used in avionics and military systems. These systems can range from basic testing setups to more sophisticated, feature-rich configurations capable of simulating complex operational environments. Below are the different types of 1553 Test Systems commonly used in the aerospace and defense industries:
