THE M8K825CAN MODULE:

ARINC-825 Products

Excalibur's 825CAN module is a high-density intelligent interface for the 8000-series family of multiprotocol carrier boards. It supports up to five ARINC 825/CAN channels per module - making it well suited for complex test programs where multiple bus segments must be monitored or simulated simultaneously.

Key capabilities:
• Up to 5 ARINC 825/CAN channels per module (configurable)
• Receive mode: stores all or selectively filtered messages, with status and Time Tag appended to each message for precise post-analysis
• Transmit mode: Bandwidth Frame scheduling minimizes host CPU intervention and supports deterministic, repeatable transmission patterns
• CAN 2.0B - Standard, Extended, and Remote Frames
• Programmable bit rate per channel: 83.33 kHz to 1 MHz
• 48-bit 1 µsec Time Tag or 64-bit IRIG-B Time Tag for precise recording
• API and driver software for Windows 7/8/10/11 and Linux; NI LabView & CVI support
• Includes 825CAN Simulation Laboratory - configure ARINC 825 protocols via Excel spreadsheet, no coding required

MULTI-PROTOCOL ADVANTAGE:
Because the 825CAN module mounts on Excalibur's 8000-series carrier boards alongside modules for MIL-STD-1553, ARINC 429, AFDX, and other protocols, programs with mixed-bus requirements can consolidate interfaces onto fewer cards. If your test setup requires ARINC 825 and MIL-STD-1553 simultaneously, one carrier board can handle both - rather than two separate cards from two separate vendors.

PROTOCOL CONVERSION:
The MACCII is an advanced multi-protocol converter. Paired with the M8K825CAN module, it enables ARINC 825 data to be converted to and from other protocols - useful for integration scenarios where a CAN bus subsystem must interface with a legacy bus architecture.

 Introduction to ARINC-825:

ARINC 825 is the aviation industry's standard upper-layer protocol built on top of CAN bus (ISO 11898-1/-2). Where CAN bus provides the physical and data-link layer, ARINC 825 defines the message format, node addressing, and network management needed for safety-critical aerospace applications. It is widely used in commercial aviation for cabin management systems, environmental controls, door management, and galley equipment — wherever a robust, deterministic serial network is needed at moderate bandwidth.

For test engineers, integrators, and simulation labs, working with ARINC 825 means you need an interface that can do more than pass data: you need accurate time-tagging, precise transmit scheduling, and the ability to monitor all traffic on the bus without disrupting it.
