INTEGRATED MODULAR AVIONICS DESCRIPTION (3)

General
Thanks to the new avionics concept Integrated Modular Avionics (IMA),
most of the conventional LRU functions are done by avionics applications.
These independent applications are hosted in shared IMA modules, called
Core Processing Input/Output Modules (CPIOMs).
As a consequence, IMA concept reduces the maintenance cost due to less
spare computers.
Each CPIOM integrates new hardware and software technologies and
hosts these independent applications in the same computing and memory
resource, and also supplies an Input/Output interface service to some of
the conventional avionics.
Moreover, in order to satisfy the high demand of conventional avionics,
this service capability has been increased thanks to additional IMA
modules called Input/Output Modules (IOMs).
CPIOMs and IOMs are Line Replaceable Modules (LRMs).
These LRMs dialogue through the Avionics Data Communication
Network (ADCN) by the means of communication technology developed
from a non-aeronautical standard, which has been adapted to aviation
constraints.
This technology is called Avionics Full DupleX Switched Ethernet
(AFDX).

CPIOM Components
A CPIOM is composed of various components, which are:
Hardware Boards
-A power supply board connected to the 28 VDC,
-2 inputs/outputs boards connected to the A/C systems through analogical,
ARINC, Controller Area Network (CAN) and/or discrete signals,
-1 Central Processing Unit (CPU) board supporting an AFDX END
SYSTEM board. This AFDX END SYSTEM board supplies an AFDX
interface to the CPIOM to exchange AFDX data with the ADCN.
Field Loadable Module Software
One CPIOM core software operates the module and its hosted avionics
applications.
One CPIOM configuration table software gives the module and the
avionics applications with configuration data. (e.g.: memory, CPU,
input/output allocations, etc.)
Field Loadable Avionics Application/Database
Each ATA software is composed of one or more avionics applications
and may include one or more database.

CPIOM COMPONENTS

"Mirror" IOM Principle
An IOM converts non-AFDX data, coming from conventional LRUs,
into AFDX data used within the ADCN and vice versa.
There are 8 IOM-A connected to the ADCN. 4 IOMs on side 1 and 4
IOMs on side 2.
The IOM-A1/2/3/5/7 are "mirror" IOMs of IOM-A2/4/6/8 and vice versa.
A LRU such as computer, sensor, etc., that exchanges message with
ADCN subscribers must use both "mirror" IOMs
For an A/C system composed of more than one LRU (e.g.: Navigation
system), each LRU (e.g.: RA) of this system dialogues through "mirror"
IOMs different than those used by the other LRUs.
Thus, the LRU and the ADCN subscriber send or receive redundant
messages.
In case of one IOM loss, the communication between a LRU and an
ADCN subscriber is not lost thanks to the "mirror" IOM.

AVIONICS DATA COMMUNICATION NETWORK DESC. (3)

General
The Avionics world gathers the aircraft systems supplied within 7
functional areas, related to:
-Flight Controls and Auto Flight,
-Cockpit,
-Engines control,
-Energy,
-Pneumatic and Cabin,
-Fuel,
-and Landing Gear.
These functional areas group computers like LRUs, IOMs, CPIOMs
and/or LRUs with AFDX interface that share a common interest or
characteristics.
These computers exchange operational and maintenance data.
For most of them, this exchange is done through the Avionics Data
Communication Network (ADCN). The ADCN is composed of two
redundant networks, A and B. Both networks are composed of 8 AFDX
switches, connected to each other with AFDX cables.
The ADCN uses AFDX technology based on the Ethernet protocol
adapted to aeronautical constraints. It is used for the exchange of
operational, maintenance and loading data between the ADCN subscribers,
L1W06161 - L0KT0T0 - LM42D3ADCN00001
which are LRUs with AFDX interface and the LRMs.

The subscribers can communicate at speeds 10 or 100 Mbits/s. This type
of network is extensible and does not need specific connections for new
subscribers.

Data transmission using ADCN
A/C system data are sent simultaneously from an ADCN subscriber to
another ADCN subscriber(s) on both redundant network A and B through
AFDX switches according to a predefined path called Virtual Link (VL).

AFDX Switch Components
An AFDX switch is composed of various components, which are:
Hardware Boards
-A switching board, which routes the AFDX frames according to a
configuration table,
-An inputs/outputs board connected to other AFDX switches and ADCN
subscribers.
One AFDX SW-XX operational program software that operates the
module.
One AFDX SW-XX configuration table software gives the AFDX switch
with configuration data. (e.g.: switching board configuration, etc.)
Note that the AFDX switches number 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9 are on the
network A and the AFDX switches number 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 19
are on the network B.

L1W06161 - L0KT0T0 - LM42D3ADCN00001
AFDX SWITCH COMPONENTS

The Virtual Link Philosophy
The ADCN is a set of AFDX switches interconnecting several ADCN
subscribers.
Each ADCN subscriber has an input/output interface called AFDX End
System. This AFDX End System lets the subscriber send and receive
AFDX frames to and from another(s) ADCN subscriber(s), through the
ADCN. This is, by encoding the computer data into AFDX frame for
transmission or decoding AFDX frame into computer data after reception.
This AFDX End System duplicates AFDX frames in transmission and
keeps the first incoming one in reception. This duplication increases the
availability of A/C system data by sending them simultaneously on both
redundant networks A and B.
Due to the AFDX technology, this data exchange uses a new concept
called "Virtual Link"(VL).
The VL is similar to an unidirectional "pipe" through the ADCN.
The Virtual Link:
-Carries AFDX frame,
-Has one specific identification,
-Is sent by one transmitter only,
-Is received by one or more subscribers in receive mode,
-Goes on both redundant networks A and B, through a specific routing.
L1W06161 - L0KT0T0 - LM42D3ADCN00001
This routing depends on receivers (e.g.: application(s), computer(s),

sensor(s), etc.) the emitter wants to send data.
Each AFDX switch has a switching function. This function receives the
VL coming from one emitter, routes it to the appropriate output port(s)
based on the configuration table.
An AFDX switch has 24 AFDX input/output ports.
To sum up, the emitter sends a VL simultaneously to both first AFDX
switches (one per network), then, each AFDX switch, according to the
VL identification and its configuration table, routes the VL to the
following AFDX switch and so forth till the receiver.
