Integrated Modular Avionics Q’s Flashcards
A controller area network bus is a
Serial communications protocol
IMA 3rd generation uses
AFDX
IMA partioning is designed to achieve
Segregation and prevention of potentially conflicting and hazardous data from other sources
A CAN bus requires
No host computer
A CAN bus transmits at data rates upto
1Mb/sec for cable lengths up to 40 metres
How does an IMA AFDX control the input output functions
They use a star topology with 4 sets of wires
A CPIOM module communicates with the ADCN via its
AFDX end system board
In an IMA AFDX system what replaces conventional LRUs
General processor modules
A CPIOM which is designated as a monitor performs
Monitoring and testing on the primary lane and will switch to command if the health of the primary lane deteriorates
A data frame on an Ethernet system contains
Both source and destination addresses
A deterministic ADN used on a certified integrated modular avionic system must have a bit error rate of no more than
1 in 10-12
A loss of a single input/output module
Will have no aircraft system effect
A loss of multiple mirrored IOMs
Will always have an aircraft systems effect and will trigger the master caution
A loss of multiple non-mirrored IOM
Will have no aircraft system effect
A virtual link in an ADCN is
Unidirectional
A virtual links bandwidth allocation gap consists of
Maximum frame time and minimum time between transmission
AFDX switches are
Interchangeable but may require software reconfiguration
AFDX switches contain what software
Operation program software and configuration table software
An active AFDX subscriber connected to an AFDX network to communicate with other subscribers respecting AFDX rules is called
An end system
An avionic structure that has major functions implemented in LRUs that interchange information over digital data uses is known as
A federated architectural system
An ADCN uses
Two active parallel identical networks
An IOM
Never hosts avionics applications
An integrated modular avionic systems utilises
An Ethernet network
An IMA system utilises
A virtual back plane communication system
AFDX switches Ethernet
Utilises commercial off the shelf hardware
AFDX data rates are
10 or 100 Mbps
AFDX is
Full duplex
