Instrument System) and ECAM (Electronic Centralized Aircraft Monitoring) S three identical DMCs (Display Management Computers),
functions.
S two identical FWCs (Flight Warning Computers),
The EIS consists of 6 identical and interchangeable LCD units. The EFIS part

comprises a PFD (Primary Flight Display) and a ND (Navigation Display) per
pilot. The ECAM part comprises an EWD (Engine and Warning Display) and an DMCs 1, 2 and 3 are divided in two independent parts, the EFIS and ECAM
SD (System Display). parts.
Three control panels are provided for EFIS and ECAM. Each of them decode and process data coming from the aircraft system
computers.
The two SDACs perform three main functions, such as, data acquisition from
the A/C systems, data concentration and digitization to be sent to the DMCs
ECAM part.
The Aircraft system malfunction data, well−known as caution situations, are
received and digitized by the SDACs and sent to the FWCs.
The two FWCs perform three main functions, such as, data acquisition from
some main A/C systems as well as SDACs, data warning computation
corresponding to warning situations and flight phase computation. Then the
digitized output is sent to the DMCs ECAM part.
The FWCs also generate attention getters composed of, Master Warning,
Master Caution, and Auto Land lights as well as Audio signals (sounds) and
Auto Call outs (synthetic voices) broadcast by two loudspeakers. There is no
volume control for these audio signals.
The EIS reconfiguration function is achieved by a set of switching devices and
some software implements within the DMCs. The switching or reconfiguration
of the DMCs and DUs can be automatic or manual.

DISPLAY UNIT COMPONENT DESCRIPTION

The LCDU725 (Liquid Crystal Display Unit) is a color display using a 6,25 x
6,25 inches AMLCD (Activ Matrix Liquid Crystal Display) with a 756 x 756 pixel
resolution.
The LCDU725 is a smart display i.e. it has embedded capabilities in order to
compute and to generate the symbols to be displayed from data sent by the
DMC, according to the selections given by its associated control panels.
In addition, the DU receives Wheather Radar or compressed bitmaps images,
via ARINC453 and displays them mixed with the symbology. As some options,
the DU is also able to implement the following capabilities:
S Video input processing and display function
S Printer output interface
The LCDU725 exchanges information with the DMC’s through high speed
mono directional buses of type ARINC629. The LCDU725 operational software
either graphic and/or calculation and the data base can be downloaded in the
DU through DMC’s. In addition the LCDU725 has a dedicated RS232 interface
for software tests.
The own operation of the DU is checked by an internal circuity called BITE
(Built-In-Test-Equipment). It provides fault isolation and reporting to the on
board maintenance system as well as to shop maintenance.
Moreover, the DU manages the feedback of critical parameters, via ARINC629,
such as attitude, heading and engine parameters.

EIS BITE
GENERAL
The Indicating system BITE is splitted into an EIS BITE and a Flight Warning
System (FWS) BITE.
The EIS BITE is ensured by each DMC (Display Management Computer) and
each DU (Display Unit). Each DMC provides an interface with the CMCs
(Central Maintenance Computers) and reports the failure information
associated with the DMCs, DUs and their related wiring.
The FWS BITE is ensured by each FWC (Flight Warning Computer), each
SDAC (System Data Acquisition Concentrator) and the ECP (ECAM Control
Panel), but only FWC1 provides the FWS interface with the CMCs. It reports
failures related to FWCs, SDACs, ECP, and their associated wiring.
The Indicating system BITE information is available through the MCDU
SYSTEM REPORT TEST page (ATA 31 INST).

TELE-LOADING DESCRIPTION
A so-called Tele-Loading function provides the capability for software upgrades
or initial software loading. All DMC‘s and DU‘s require Tele-Loading after a
new component has been installed.
The Tele-Loading function is achieved by crossloding a software from DMC to
DMC or from DMC to DU, but it is possible to load a new software for the
system to DMC 1 only from the MDDU or a PDL.
NOTE: Teleloading from MDDU to all dmcs is optional. Some operators
have only the basic function (Loading to DMC1 only)
The following figure gives examples of the three different Tele-Loading
subfunctions. For the Display Unit Cross-Loading subfunction, the maintenance
operator has to configure the Display Units on the Emitter DMC by using the
DMC reconfiguration switches.

DMC X-LOADING DESCRIPTION

By pressing the 6R key of the DMC menu the page DMCx PIN PROG/STATUS
AND XLOAD on display (A) allows to select the DMC XLOAD page (key 2L) on
display (B) which allows to display:
S the software P/N of the DMC source
S the software P/N of the DMC target and to launch the X-load process (only
if the DMC source is not faulty).
If the DMC1 is the DMC source, the DMCs targets are:
S the DMC2 then DMC3
If the DMC2 is the DMC source, the DMCs targets are:
S the DMC1 then the DMC3
If the DMC3 is the DMC source, the DMCs targets are:
S the DMC1 then the DMC2
This order is repeated on all DMC XLOAD pages. The key 1R is then pressed
which leads to the display XLOAD NOT AVAIL means the DMC target is not
available for X-loading. EMPTY means the DMC target is available for
X-loading.
If all DMCs targets are followed by the message: XLOAD NOT AVAIL, or if all
software P/N of the DMCs targets are identical to the DMC source, then the
amber message DMC XLOAD NOT ALLOWED is dsiplayed as on display.
If the indication START XLOAD is displayed as on display, the operator
presses the key 5L and gets access to the TRANSFER IN PROGRESS Page.

Figure A
After the operator has pressed the key 5L he gets the display where the
transfers in progress are displayed by the message: DMC X TO DMC Y.
Figure B
When the transfer is completed, an INTEGRITY CHECK is performed as
mentioned on display which takes some time.
Figure C
When this check is completed the result is given as on display:
S XLOAD COMPLETED means the X-loading process is completed
successfully
S XLOAD ABORTED in amber means a X-load interrupt has occured or the
integrity check is not successful.
This leads to the DMC self test which is mentionned by the message:
DMC SELF TEST IN PROGRESS XXs.
After completion of this last test the page gives access by the RETURN (key
6L) to the first XLOAD Page with the new software numbers available as on
display.

DU X-LOADING DESCRIPTION
By pressing the 6R key of the DMC menu the page DMCx PIN PROG/STATUS
AND XLOAD on display (A) allows to select the DU XLOAD page (key 3L) on
display (H) which allows to display:
S the software P/N of the DMC source
S the software P/N of the DUs targets
S to launch the X-loading function and to follow it
The software P/N: XXXXX of the DMC is green if the DMC source and the DU
targets have the same P/N, amber if they are different. The message XLOAD
NOT AVAIL is amber when the DMC does not receive data from the relevant
DU. The message EMPTY is amber when the relevant DU is not yet loaded.
If all DUs lines wear the mention: XLOAD NOT AVAIL then the display is
shown with the message: DU XLOAD NOT ALLOWED
If at least one DU has a software P/N different from the DMC source, the
display is shown when the operator presses the key 1R. The operator is asked
to perform some initial conditions.
Where the DMC2 is concerned these initial conditions are:
S SET THE CAPT EFIS DMC SEL TO 2
S SET THE FO EFIS DMC SEL TO NORM
S SET THE ECAM SWTG DMC SEL TO 2
Where the DMC3 is concerned these initial conditions are:
S SET THE CAPT EFIS DMC SEL TO 3
S SET THE FO EFIS DMC SEL TO 3
S SET THE ECAM SWTG DMC SEL TO 3
The key 5L (START XLOAD) is then pressed to show the display with the
message: TRANSFER IN PROGRESS and the DMC/DU concerned.
