EIS: ECAM AUDIO SIGNALS

DESCRIPTION

This table presents the audio signals with their

meaning.
For those which are continuous, the way to cancel them
(in addition to the EMERgency CANCel pushbutton on the
ECAM control panel) is also indicated.

RADIO HEIGHT CALL OUTS

Automatic radio height call outs (Synthetic voice;
example: "FOUR HUNDRED") are generated according to
aircraft wiring and airline selection from the standard
list.
Audio call out "HUNDRED ABOVE" is given when aircraft
radio height falls to selected Decision Height (DH) +
100 feet.
Audio call out "MINIMUM" is given when aircraft radio
height falls to selected DH.

ENHANCED GROUND PROXIMITY WARNINGS

The Enhanced Ground Proximity Warning System (EGPWS)
generates aural warnings (Synthetic voice) under 5
modes:
- Mode 1: Excessive rate of descent.
- Mode 2: Excessive terrain closure rate.
- Mode 3: Descent after take-off and
minimum terrain clearance.
TMUEISL02-T01 LEVEL 1

- Mode 4: Unsafe terrain clearance.

- Mode 5: Descent below glide slope.
The Enhanced functions are:
- TAD: Terrain Awarness and Display
UF94200

- TCF: Terrain Clearance Floor

For example, in mode 3, the generated aural warning
is "DON’T SINK".

RIGHT MEMO AREA

Normal memo and secondary failure messages are

displayed in the right memo area.
For example when an Engine Anti Ice P/B is set to ON,
ENG A.ICE appears on the right memo area.
During take off and landing, most of the warnings are
inhibited to avoid distraction of the crew.
For example, at take off, when the second engine is
set to take off power and until the aircraft has reached
1500 ft, TO INHIB is displayed.

ADVISORY

The value of some critical system parameters is

monitored by an advisory mode.
When the value drifts from its normal range, the
corresponding SYSTEM page is displayed automatically
and the affected parameter pulses.The corresponding
key light on the ECAM Control Panel is on.
Example:
The CAB PRESS page will be displayed if the cabin
altitude increases above its normal value, but is still
well below the threshold of the warning. In this case
the crew may revert to manual pressure control and
prevent warning activation.

Note: an advisory may or may not lead to a failure.

They are totally independent one from the other.
In ECAM MONO Display mode (one ECAM CRT remaining),a
white ADV message pulses in the center of the Engine
Warning Display to attract crew attention.
As the corresponding system page cannot be displayed
automatically on the SD, the pilot has to fetch the
information on the ECAM control panel: the associated
key light flashes to indicate which system is
concerned.

EIS: ECAM DESCRIPTION/OPERATION

GENERAL ARCHITECTURE

The Electronic Centralized Aircraft Monitoring (ECAM)

performs three main functions:
- data acquisition and concentration,
- data warning computation,
- warning announcement and data display.
Data acquisition is shared between:
- the System Data Acquisition Concentrators
(SDACs),
- the Flight Warning Computers (FWCs),
- the Display Management Computers (DMCs).
Data warning computation and memo information are
achieved by the FWCs. Warning announcement and Data
display is made through Loudspeakers and Display Units.
The FWCs provide aural and visual information in order
to:
- know, in real time, all the system failures
and dangerous configurations with their level
of seriousness,
- identify the systems or circuits affected by
a failure,
- take the appropriate corrective action.

SDAC

The two System Data Analog Computers (SDACs) are

identical and interchangeable.
They perform three main functions:
- data acquisition,
- data concentration,
- data digitalization.
The SDACs acquire, from the aircraft systems, the
malfunction and failure data corresponding to caution
situations and send it to the FWCs for generation of
the corresponding alert and procedure messages.
The two SDACs acquire and send, to the three DMCs, all
the A/C system signals necessary for the display on
the System Display (SD). They are also used as data
concentrators for other systems (example: FDIU).
All the signals (discrete, analog, digital) entering
into the SDAC are concentrated and converted into
digital format.
They are delivered via the SDAC outputs on ARINC 429
high speed buses called DATA BUSES.
The SDAC operational software is contained in a
specific device called OBRM (On Board Replaceable
Module) in order to facilitate any software
modification.

FWC Each FWC includes Built In Test Equipment (BITE) to

detect the failures.
The two Flight Warning Computers (FWCs) are identical
and interchangeable.
They perform three main functions:
- data acquisition,
- data warning computation corresponding to
warning situations,
- flight phase computation.
The FWCs also generate aural alerts as well as
synthetic voices for radio height, automatic call out
and other announcements.
The FWCs perform acquisition directly from the systems
not connected to the SDACs for Red Warnings (Master
Warning) computation and generation, and acquisition
of the SDAC DATA BUSES for Amber Warning (Master
Caution) computation and generation.
Each FWC generates alphanumeric codes corresponding
to all texts and messages to be displayed on the ECAM
display units.
These are:
- system and warning titles,
- procedures associated with the warnings,
- status and memos.
Each FWC sends a copy of its own acquisition through
an ARINC 429 bus to the opposite FWC.

DMC

The three Display Management Computers (DMCs) are

identical and interchangeable.
They receive data from the aircraft systems, either
directly for some of them or through the SDACs and
FWCs.
They decode and process the data in order to display
messages or indications on the ECAM display units.
The DMCs are divided into four parts:
- data acquisition,
- PFD processing channel,
- ND processing channel,
- ECAM processing channel,
and they can simultaneously drive three DUs (two EFIS
and one ECAM).
The Engine Warning Display (EWD) and System Display
(SD) receive digital signals from their related DMC
through a Master Dedicated Serial Data Link (DSDL).
In feedback, the display units send to their driving
DMC, through a FEEDBACK DSDL:
- acknowledgment signals,
- DU failure information,
- critical parameter feedback signals (example:
engine primary parameters from Engine and
Warning Display).
TMUEISU02-T04 LEVEL 3

The DMCs are provided with three On Board Replaceable

Modules (OBRMs): one for PFD, one for ND and one for
ECAM, for software modifications.
They are also provided with Built In Test Equipment
(BITE) for maintenance operation.

INTERFACE

The ECAM interface includes:

- the ECAM Control Panel (ECP),
- the warning and caution lights,
- the loudspeakers,
- the display units.
The ECAM Control Panel is a control and display unit.
It transmits the pilot selections to the FWCs and DMCs.
It receives the DMC data in order to illuminate its
keys lights.
The ECAM Control Panel outputs discretes for the Clear
(CLR), Recall (RCL), Status (STS) and EMERgency CANCEL
keys wired to the FWCs, and for the ALL key wired to
the DMCs.
It is also linked to the display units for the
brightness control.
Both Master warning and Master caution lights are
controlled by each FWC.
The aural warnings and synthetic voices are delivered
by the FWCs to the cockpit loudspeakers.

EIS: DMC ARINC BUS RECONFIGURATION

GENERAL

As a general rule, we can say that each Display

Management Computer (DMC) uses the active aircraft
system source for display, provided it is valid or
selected.

FWC

Each DMC receives both Flight Warning Computer (FWC)

1 and 2 data buses.
The DMCs preferably work with the FWC1 data.
If a warning is detected when FWC1 is sending Data to
the DMCs on its Data bus, the DMCs will switch
automatically to the FWC2 Data bus.
NOTE: the ARINC 429 buses are not used by the FWCs to
send MEMO messages to the DMCs (use of RS422 buses).

SDAC

Each DMC receives and processes the data from each of

the two System Data Acquisition Concentrators (SDACs).
The DMCs use SDAC1 data providing it is valid.
If the data is not valid or if SDAC1 is not valid, the
DMCs will use the data from SDAC2.
The switching is automatic.

EIS: DMC ARINC BUS RECONFIGURATION

DMCs OUTPUT BUSES

Each DMC transmits data on two ARINC 429 buses:

- one highspeed switched bus,
- one lowspeed unswitched bus.
When a pilot sets the EIS DMC Selector Switch to CAPT/3
(or F/O/3), DMC1 (or DMC2) sends, through its output
bus, the data received from DMC3. The switching is
done inside DMC1 (or DMC2).

EIS: DMC ARINC BUS RECONFIGURATION

WEATHER RADAR

Each DMC receives the Weather Radar Transceivers data

via two ARINC 453 data buses (D1 and D2).
The DMCs convert the ARINC 453 bus into four digital
buses (one CLOCK and three COLORS-B0-B1-B2) which are
connected to each EFIS DUs.
As only one Weather Radar Transceiver is in operation
at a time, the DMCs process information from the one
in operation.
The W/R ENABLE discrete disables the W/R operation if
both pilots select the PLAN mode.
DMC1 normally works with Data 1 buses which correspond
to the CAPT range selection; DMC1 switches to DATA 2
buses with F/O Range Selection in case of FMGC1
failure. It is the same operation for DMC2.

GENERAL MEMORIZATION
- All the information necessary for maintenance and
A system is composed of LRUs which can be: computers, troubleshooting is memorized in a Non Volatile Memory
sensors, actuators, probes, etc. (NVM).
With the new technology, most of these Line Replaceable
Units (LRUs) are controlled by digital computers.
For safety reasons, these LRUs are permanently
monitored, they can be tested and troubleshooting can
be performed.
In each system, a part of a computer is dedicated to
these functions: it is called Built-In Test Equipement.
Sometimes, in multi-computer systems, one computer is
used to concentrate the BITE (Built-In Test Equipment)
data of the system.

BITE

During normal operation, the system is permanently

monitored: internal monitoring, inputs/outputs
monitoring, link monitoring between LRUs within the
system.

FAULT DETECTION
- If a failure occurs, it can be permanent
(consolidated) or intermittent.

ISOLATION
TMUCFDZ01-T01 LEVEL 1

- After failure detection, the BITE is able to identify

the possible failed LRUs and can give a snapshot of
the system environment when the failure occured.

INTERNAL/EXTERNAL FAILURES

Each BITE can make the difference between an internal

and an external failure.
Let us suppose that an angle of attack sensor failure
has been detected and that systems A, B and C are
affected by this failure.
The Air Data System will transmit an internal failure
while systems A, B and C will transmit an external
failure.

FAILURE GRAVITY

The failures are classified according to their

importance:
- Class 1 failures are the most serious ones and
require an immediate maintenance action subject
to the Minimum Equipment List (MEL).
- Class 2 failures may have consequences if a
second failure occurs.
A maintenance action is necessary at the next
adequate opportunity.
- Class 3 failures can be left uncorrected
until the next scheduled maintenance check.

TSM ENTRY

The CFDS report information permits a direct access

to the fault isolation procedure task numbers in page
block 101 of the TSM.
You have to refer to the "WARNINGS/MALFUNCTIONS" column
to find the reported problem.
If the fault symptoms (ECAM, EFIS, local warning, crew
observation or CFDS) do not allow you to directly find
the right page block 101, you can refer to the
appropriate section of the index part.
Then you associate the CFDS message.
A WARNING/MALFUNCTION with its correlated CFDS fault
message could have several associated fault isolation
procedure tasks according to the systems which have
detected the fault.
The PFR provides an IDENTIFIERS list which must be
compared with the IDENTIFIERS item of the CFDS FAULT
MESSAGES part in page block 101 of the TSM.
Task number 24-30-00-810-805 gives the right access
in page block 201 of the TSM.

CFDS: POST FLIGHT REPORT FILTERING FUNCTION

PURPOSE

The purpose of the filtering function is to reduce the

number of spurious maintenance messages. So the
filtered Post Flight Report (PFR) contains only the
messages needing a maintenance action.

FILTER DATA BASE CUSTOMIZATION AND LOADING

Using the feedback data from the airlines or the data

from laboratory or flight tests, Airbus Indusrie
establishes, keeps up to date and transmits to the
airlines a document called Service Information Letter
(SIL) 00-028.
SIL 00-028 consists of a "spurious maintenance messages
data base". This is an envelope data base, including
the spurious messages concerning every possible Part
Number (PN) from every vendor.
The airline is responsible for customizing the SIL to
its fleet configuration using a compatible Personal
Computer and dedicated software.
The customized maintenance filter data base is first
stored on a floppy disk, then uploaded into the CFDIU
by means of the data loader.

GENERAL

The printer allows print-out of the Centralized Fault

Display System and additional reports.
The additional reports come from:
- the Aircraft Integrated Data System (AIDS).
- the Air Traffic Service Unit (ATSU).
- the Flight Management and Guidance System
(FMGS)
- the Engine Vibration Monitoring Unit (EVMU)

PAPER

The paper can be inserted via an access door

incorporated in the front-panel.
The printer is loaded with a 4.4 inch wide (109 mm)
paper roll.

MONITORING

The printer face features a locking system and a SLEW

UP AND DOWN DATA LOADING SYSTEM: UP AND DOWN DATA LOADING SYSTEM PRESENTATION

GENERAL

The data loading system (if installed) is an interface

between the aircraft computers and ground data
processing equipment used to update software and data
bases or to retrieve aircraft system data.

The data loading system includes:

- a Data Loading Selector (DLS) to select the
desired computer to be loaded,
- a Multipurpose Disk Drive Unit to upload or
download data,
- a stowage box with a 42 disk maximum capacity,
- a Data Loading Routing Box (DLRB) to route
the input/output data between the disk unit
and the target computer.

UP AND DOWN DATA LOADING SYSTEM: UP AND DOWN DATA LOADING SYSTEM PRESENTATION

UP LOADING

The aircraft system computers use the loading system

to update their data base (for example the FMGC) or
to modify parts of their operational software (for
example the ATSU).

Up loading is automatically performed from a 3.5 inch

disk, via an internal logic specific to each computer.

DOWN LOADING

The down loading system is used to down load, to a 3.5

inch disk, the data recorded by certain computers
during aircraft operation (for example the DMU).

Down loading is done automatically through an internal

logic specific to each computer.

REAL TIME PARAMETER READ OUT

Parameters delivered to the Data Management Unit (DMU)

by aircraft systems can be called up in real time on
the Multipurpose Control and Display Unit by selecting
one of the two following functions:
- Parameter label call-up.
- Parameter alpha call-up.

PARAMETER LABEL CALL-UP

The parameter label call-up function enables the
display of parameters by using ARINC 429
characteristics.
Parameters are displayed in raw values and refreshed
once per second.
Up to 16 parameters can be simultaneously monitored
(8 pages with 2 parameters per page).

PARAMETER ALPHA CALL-UP

The parameter alpha call-up function enables the
display of parameters by using the corresponding
alphanumeric code (if defined).
E.g. RSP3 is the alphanumeric code to call up the left
and right Roll Spoiler 3 Position parameters.
Parameters are displayed in engineering values and
refreshed once per second.
Up to 20 alpha call-ups, with one or 2 parameters, can
TMUAI2C03-T01 LEVEL 1

REPORT CONTROL

A report consists of a fixed and comprehensive set of

data collected under predefined trigger logics.
There are 13 standard reports for basic aircraft,
engine and APU monitoring. Up to 10 additional reports
can be entirely defined by the user with the GSE.
Beside the automatic trigger logics (e.g. limit
exceedance of engine parameters), all the reports can
be manually generated via the MCDU, the AIDS PRINT
pushbutton or the Air Traffic Service Unit (ATSU).
The automatically or manually generated reports are
stored in a non-volatile memory of the DMU.
If programmed with the GSE, the reports can be
automatically stored in an optional PCMCIA disk in
parallel with the normal storage in the DMU.
Finally, the reports can be:
- automatically printed out or downlinked, via
ATSU (according to generation request and GSE
programming),
- manually printed out or downlinked, via ATSU
(upon MCDU request),
- automatically dumped on a Portable Data
Loader (PDL) floppy disk or a Personal
Computer Memory Card Association (PCMCIA)
disk (at "automatic dump disk" insertion).

AIDS: AIDS BASIC OPERATION

SAR CONTROL

The Smart AIDS Recorder (SAR) is an integrated part

of the DMU which records, in a non-volatile memory,
parameters relating to particular flight events.
There are 3 kinds of SAR functions programmable with
the GSE:
- Data recording: Storage of up to 4 user
predefined data sets between a start event and
a stop event (up to 25 start/stop events can
be defined).
- Extended trouble shooting: Identical to the
data recording function except that, in
addition, pre-event data can be collected for
up to 5 minutes before each trigger event.
- Event recording: Storage, when an event is
detected, of a user predefined data set
specific to each event.
It is also possible to record manually, via the MCDU,
any of the data sets defined within the data recording
and extended trouble shooting functions.
If programmed with the GSE, the SAR data can be
automatically stored in a PCMCIA disk in parallel with
the normal storage in the DMU.
Finally, the SAR data can be automatically dumped on
a PDL floppy disk or a PCMCIA disk (at "automatic dump
disk" insertion).

DAR CONTROL

The DMU is able to record data on an external Digital

AIDS Recorder (DAR) if installed.
The GSE enables the programming of:
- the parameters to be recorded,
- the DAR speed, up to 1024 words per second,
- the automatic trigger conditions for start and
stop recording.
If it has not been already started automatically, the
recording can be manually started and stopped via the
MCDU.
The PCMCIA interface can be used to emulate the DAR.
In that case, the same data as in the DAR is recorded
on the PCMCIA disk.
Up to 6 DAR words can be displayed together on the
MCDU (3 pages with 2 words per page).

AIDS: AIDS MCDU MENU PRESENTATION

GAINING ACCESS

In the aircraft, two Multipurpose Control and Display

Units (MCDUs) are connected to the Data Management
Unit (DMU).
A portable MCDU can also be connected via the test
connector of the DMU.
To initiate communication with the Aircraft Integrated
Data System (AIDS) via either MCDU, the user has to
press the AIDS line select key from the MCDU MENU page.
The AIDS MCDU menu page is then displayed.
Some of the AIDS functions may be controlled from this
menu.
The DMU only communicates with one MCDU at a time.
The AIDS selection from a second MCDU generates, on
this MCDU, the message "AIDS (TIMEOUT)".

ENGINE TAKE OFF REPORT <04>

This report is generated while in the take off flight

phase when the sum of the Exhaust Gas Temperature (EGT)
for both engines is maximum. It is used to check the
trend and the stress of the engines during take off.
Basically, one report is generated per leg
(programmable frequency).
The report mainly contains data of both engines,
including the maximum EGT (EGTM).
The radio height (RALT), provided by radio altimeters
1 and 2, is also printed.

"T/O DELTA N1 SUMMARY" DATA

History of the difference between the maximum value
of N1 (N1MX) and the actual N1 during previous take
offs is provided for both engines.
"T/O DELTA N1 SUMMARY" data is calculated a few seconds
after entry into the take off flight phase,
independently from the report trigger.

ENGINE DIVERGENCE REPORT <09>

This report is generated while in the climb or cruise

flight phases when, under stabilized conditions, any
of the following engine divergence conditions is
detected:
- Exhaust gas temperature (EGT) divergence
exceeding a programmed threshold.
- Nacelle temperature (TN) divergence exceeding
a programmed threshold.
The reason for divergence is displayed (EGT, TN).
This report is intended to detect quick degradation
in engine performance.
3 sets of parameters for both engines are recorded at
2 seconds intervals before the event, 1 set at the
event and 3 sets at 2 seconds intervals after the
event.
In addition, the following data is provided:
- E: Divergent engine (1 or 2).
- DIV: Absolute divergence value of EGT (or TN).
- REF: Reference delta value of EGT (or TN).
Since two engines do not behave with the
same performance characteristics, it is
necessary to establish a reference delta
for the divergence.
DIV = DIFF - REF, DIFF being the actual
delta value of EGT (or TN) between both

- starter air valve or HP shut-off valve
demand/position disagree,
- EGT overtemperature,
- stall,
- no engine light off,
- hung start,
- illegal start sequence,
- slow start.
When effective, the reason is displayed (SAV, HPSOV,
EGT, STALL, NO LIGHT OFF, HUNG, START FAIL, SLOW).
"EGT" is also displayed in case of exceedance.
Basically, 3 sets of parameters for one engine are
recorded at 5 seconds intervals before the event, 1
set at the event and 3 sets at 2 seconds intervals
after the event.
The length of the pre-event and post-event intervals
(Y1 and Y2) is programmable.

NOTE: The engine start report is also generated (with

7 post-event datasets):
- every 25 engine cycles (programmable
frequency),

ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROL SYSTEM REPORT <19>

This report is generated when there is a malfunction

in the air conditioning or pressurization system.
The reason for report generation is displayed (e.g.
EXCESSIVE CABIN ALTITUDE).
The report contains engine, aircraft and environmental
data.
Basically, up to 19 sets of parameters can be recorded
at 15 seconds intervals before the event and 1 set at
the event.
The number of pre-event sets as well as the length of
the pre-event interval (Y1) are programmable.
In order to reduce the length of the report, a specific
procedure is applied for report output:
- The first pre-event dataset is generated
completely as well as the at event dataset.
- Within the intermediate datasets, a line is
only generated if the value of an included
leading parameter has changed.
E.g.: Cabin altitude (ZCB) is observed for
changes in each Vx line and causes the
print out of one line when the change limit
is exceeded (i.e. +/- 100 feet).

AIDS: AIDS PROGRAMMING

GSE

The GSE is based on a compatible personal computer and

is divided into different software modules.
A major module is the programming of the DMU functions.
It mainly enables:
- the adjustment of the standard reports (e.g.
report limits),
- the addition of customer reports (numbered from
31 to 40),
- the addition of trigger conditions,
- the configuration of the SAR and DAR recording
channels (DAR is optionally installed).
In particular, the GSE user has the possibility to
program trigger conditions for:
- standard reports (additional conditions),
- programmable reports,
- Smart AIDS Recorder (SAR),
- Digital Access Recorder (DAR).
This programming is made by means of logics defined
in a specific language.
In the example given here, report 31 is associated to
logic 300 and will be triggered when the Exhaust Gas
Temperature of engine 1 (EGT_1) is greater than 850°C
for more than 3 seconds while in cruise flight phase.
Once the programming is completed, another GSE module
TMUAI2S03-T02 LEVEL 3

generates the associated database (i.e. setup/customer

database).
The database is stored on a floppy disk or a Personal
Computer Memory Card International Association
(PCMCIA) disk then transferred to the DMU through a
UF94200

Portable Data Loader (PDL) or the optional PCMCIA

interface.

EXTERNAL FAULTS
EXTERNAL FAULTS are the result of no information or
no valid information received by the DMC. 7 failures
can be recorded for each flight leg. 27 legs may be
stored. NEXT PAGE is used to see the other legs.

FAULT ON GROUND
Faults which may occur on ground shall be recorded in
the zone 3 of the BITE memory and will not be
transmitted in plain english language to the CFDIU.
The only access to this zone is by the memory dump. A
maximum of 4 failures can be stored.

FAILURE COUNTER RESET

The FAILURE COUNTER RESET key resets the failure
counters inside DMC 1.
