General
The Integrated Modular Avionics (IMA) and Avionics Data
Communication Network (ADCN) supply shared avionics resources and
powerful data exchange capability to various A/C systems.

IMA PRESENTATION (1)

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 dialog through the Avionics Data Communication Network
(ADCN) by the means of a 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).

GENERAL

CPIOM
The CPIOM integrates shared processing resource to execute
independently its hosted avionics applications.
In addition the CPIOM processes independently specific input/output
data for each application.
This data is an AFDX data when the applications dialog with A/C systems
through the ADCN and a non-AFDX data when they dialog directly with
conventional LRUs.
There are 7 types of CPIOM, each one identified by a letter (A to G):
-A: PNEUMATIC+ OPTIONAL AIR CONDITIONING
-B: AIR CONDITIONING
-C: COCKPIT + FLIGHT CONTROLS
-D: DATA LINK
-E: ENERGY
-F: FUEL
-G: LANDING GEAR
Each type is associated to a specific part number.
CPIOMs with the same part number are interchangeable but may require
a software reconfiguration.

CPIOM

IOM
The IOM does not host avionics applications.
The IOM converts non-AFDX data, coming from conventional LRUs,
into AFDX data used within the Avionics Data Communication Network
(ADCN) and vice versa.
There is only one type of IOM identified by the letter A.
All IOMs are fully interchangeable.

ADCN PRESENTATION (1)

The communication between the ADCN subscribers is done through the
General AFDX technology.
The other LRUs, not including an AFDX interface, are connected to the
On the A380, computers are structured within an Avionics world and an
ADCN through the Input/Output resource of its subscribers.
Open world.
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 LRUs and/or Line Replaceable Modules
(LRMs) that share a common interest or characteristics.
The open world hosts mainly avionics, flight operations, communication
and cabin applications.
For security reason, 2 firewalls protect the Avionics world against
malicious data coming from open world.
Within the avionics world, the A/C systems computers exchange
operational and maintenance data.
For most of them, this exchange is done through the Avionics Data
LAY08521 - L1502T0 - LM42P2ADCN00001
Communication Network (ADCN).

The ADCN supports also data loading operations.
ADCN Subscribers
The A/C system computers connected directly to the ADCN are the
LRMs, which are Core Processing Input/Output Modules (CPIOMs) or
Input/Output Modules (IOMs) and the LRUs including an Avionics Full
DupleX switched ethernet (AFDX) interface. These computers are called
ADCN subscribers.

ADCN & AFDX Technologies
The ADCN is supported by the AFDX technology.
The AFDX is a communication technology based on commercial Ethernet
protocol adapted to aeronautical constraint to meet the avionics
requirements. It gives the following advantages:
-secure and reliable communications,
-high data rate 10 and 100 Mb/s.
-flexibility for future developments of system architecture,
-and less wiring,
The ADCN is made of AFDX switches and AFDX cables.
The AFDX switches are electronic devices. They manage the data traffic
on the network between the connected subscribers.
Indeed, the AFDX switches receive data from an ADCN subscriber or
from others switches, analyse and route it to one or several appropriate
recipients through AFDX cables.
The AFDX cable is a Full Duplex physical link between a subscriber and
an AFDX switch and between two AFDX switches. The term Full duplex
means that the subscriber can simultaneously transmit and receive on the
same link.
This link is a STAR QUAD cable, composed of four wires uniformly
twisted, one pair for transmission and one pair for reception.
LAY08521 - L1502T0 - LM42P2ADCN00001
For availability reasons, the ADCN implements a redundant network.

Indeed, all ADCN subscribers have a connection to both redundant
networks A and B thanks to the redundant switches.

ADCN & AFDX TECHNOLOGIES

The ADCN Overview
The Avionics Data Communication Network is composed of 16 switches,
8 per network, and related AFDX cables. These switches interconnect
the aircraft systems components:
-8 Input Output Modules (IOMs),
-22 Core Processing Input Output Modules (CPIOMs),
-50 Line Replaceable Units (LRUs) with AFDX interface plus 2 optional.
Note that the 22 CPIOMs are classified in 7 types:
-4 are in type A,
-4 are in type B,
-2 are in type C,
-2 are in type D,
-2 are in type E,
-4 are in type F,
-4 are in type G.
Pairs of superposed switches show the full network redundancy.
