System display (S/D) selection and priority
The System Display (SD) is normally presented on the lower ECAM display
unit. The System Display provides 11 system pages, a cruise page and a sta-
tus page. These pages are displayed one at a time. They can be displayed au-
tomatically or manually.
Automatic / Flight phase mode

When there is no failure, no manual call and no advisory, the most appropriate
aircraft system page is automatically displayed according to the current flight
phase.
Advisory mode
Advisory mode: Without actual failure, but when a monitored parameter drifts
out of its normal range the relevant A/C system page is automatically dis-
played, and the parameter flashes.
In case of single ECAM DU (one ECAM DU fault) „ADV“ is shown on the
E/WD.
Warning mode
Warning mode: In case of failure, the aircraft system pages are automatically
displayed, according to the warning/caution messages written in the warning
area of the EWD.
Manual mode
All the aircraft system pages of the SD plus the status page can be manually
displayed after a crew action on the relevant key located on the ECAM control
panel.

ECAM DU transfer: upper DU to lower DU off position, automatic and manual reconfigurations are possible.
ECAM−ND transfer: ECAM/CAPT ND or ECAM/F/0 ND. The ND inner potentiometer switches the ND Display Unit on or off and enables
general adjustment of the ND brightness.
Some of these transfers are performed automatically. The outer potentiometer only adjusts the brightness of the weather radar or

The ECAM system is displayed on two DUs, the Engine and Warning Display

a system page is selected manually on the ECAM control panel, the relevant
page appears on the SD.
The EWD has the priority. When the upper display fails or is switched OFF, the
EWD is automaticallytransferred to the lower display. This mode is called single
display mode. For a short term reconfiguration pushing and holding any system
key will display the selected system.

Because of a DMC 1 fault the captain looses the information on his EFIS DUs.
To get back the EFIS information the Captain has to activate the DMC trans-

DMC DATA LOADING AND INTERFACES
DMC
The three DMCs are identical and interchangeable, they receive aircraft system
data on ARINC 429 buses, weather radar information on ARINC 453 high−
speed bus, analog signal for the brightness control, discrete signal for the PFD/
ND transfer and PFD/ND ON/OFF. DMCs send data on an ARINC 629 link to
the display units.
When a new DMC 2 or 3 is installed, new software must be downloaded into it,
this is done by cross loading (Xload) from DMC 1 only via the MCDU. If all
DMCs are replaced the software must be loaded from the MDDU to DMC1.
From DMC 1 it can be loaded to the other DMCs by cross loading.
The Built−In Test Equipment (BITE) is performed in the DMC and the results
are stored for later transfer to the Centralized Fault Display System (CFDS). It
is possible to read this information via the Multipurpose Control and Display
Unit (MCDU)

CFDS/EIS MENUE pages
The computers of the Electronic Instrument Systems include a BITE ( Built−In
Test Equipment ). With this BITE the LRUs of the EIS are monitored and
tested.
The components of the Electronic Instruments System are:
6 Display Units ( DU )
3 Display Management Computers ( DMC )
The test of each DMC and its connected DUs is started via the MCDU.
NOTE: THE FAC 1 ACTS AS FIDS ( FAULT ISOLATION AND DETECTION

SYSTEM ) FOR THE FCU WHICH INCLUDES THE EFIS CONTROL
SECTIONS.
The access to the EIS MENUE is possible by „MCDU MENUE“

EIS TEST / BITE
31−69
EIS sytem test
The EIS computers include a self−test function i.e. a Built−In Test Equipment
(BITE) and are connected to the CFDS maintenance bus for centralization of
the whole maintenance data.
Each DMC carries out the BITE functions at once for itself and for its con-
nected DUs. The BITE detects internal failures/input parameters failure, mini-
mizes undetected failures and facilitates the maintenance. The DMCs act as
FIDS (Fault Isolation and Detection System) for the DUs and the A/C circuitry
(wiring, control knobs, selector switches)...
The DMCs are addressed directly by the CFDIU in order to perform detailed
trouble shooting using direct access to component BITE memories. In this
mode, available in ground only, the DMCs transmit to the CFDIU their detailed
BITE memory contents, according to the CFDIU requests.
The DMC performs the functional tests of all the internal functions of the sys-
tem (DMC, DUs, DMC−DUs links).

DMC brightness test
This test allows to check the good working conditions of the brightness control
system of the DU.
After selecting ”SWTG/BUS/DU TESTS” AND ”DU BRIGHTNESS TEST”,
push ”ACCESS TEST” then select the DU to be tested. The following message
appears: ”TEST IN PROGRESS 5 S”. If the temperature is not steady, the fol-
lowing message appears: ”TEST NOT YET AVAILABLE (BACKLIGHT TEM-
PERATURE NOT YET STEADY) WAIT FOR MAX XX MINUTE”. In case of
normal temperature, the following message appears: ”TEST OK”.
NOTE: IF THE BRIGHTNESS CONTROL IS NOT EFFECTIVE, THE LIGHT
BOX BEING SATURATED, THE OPERATOR GETS THE DISPLAY
WITH THE NAME OF THE FAULTY DU.

DMC Crossloading DU LOADING
When a new DMC 2 or 3 is installed, new software must be downloaded into it. After installation of a DU the software has to be loadet to the DU.
This is done by cross loading (Xload) from DMC 1 only via the MCDU. If DMC It can happens automatically after installation. If not the loading has to be

DU loading is possible from:
The DMC crossloading-page is available when the operator has pressed the
DMC 1 to PFD CPT, ND CPT, EWD and SD
key 6R. For the EIS system to work normally it is necessary that all electronic
components (DMC, Display units) have the same software part number. In DMC 2 to PFD F/O, ND F/O

All Display units have the same Software Part number, In case of a different
part number. It is necessary to load the software from the DMC equipped with
the correct software. The operator must select ACCESS XLOAD. The operator
is asked to Set EIS DMC to FO 3 and start XLOAD. The DMC loads the Dis-
play Units, confirms the XLOAD and to close this test you reconfigure the EIS
DMC switching to normal position.
