Communication Network - Presentation
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:
-No frame collision (frame buffering inside the AFDX switch),
-Full duplex communication,
-High data speed (10 and 100 Mb/s),
-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.
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.

Computer Versus Application
An A/C system function (e.g.: Flight Crew Alerting) can be done by:
- A dedicated hardware computer (e.g.: the Flight Warning Computer
(FWC)), or,
- An application made of one or more loads (e.g.: the Flight Warning
Application).
Note: A load is a software.
A computer is usually related to a Part Number (P/N) and each load is
related to a dedicated P/N.
Note: An A/C system Application is not related to a P/N.

INDICATING/RECORDING SYSTEMS PRESENTATION

Tailstrike Indication System - Presentation
Function/Description
The function of the tailstrike indication system is to detect tailstrike
events and to send data to the FWS for warning generation. When a
tailstrike indication event is detected, the LAND ANSA (Landing At
Nearest Suitable Airport) warning is shown and a maintenance
operation will be necessary on the ground.
The tailstrike indication sensor is the only component of the system.
It is an electrical circuit with wires that break easily if there is contact
with the ground. The sensor then transmits the tailstrike detection data
to the FWS (hosted in Core Processing Input/Output Modules
(CPIOMs)) through the AFDX network.
Location
The tailstrike indication sensor is installed at the bottom of the rear
fuselage.
Control and Indicating
When the FWS receives the tailstrike detection data, it generates a
tailstrike warning and sends it to the CDS through the AFDX network.

LIGHTS SYSTEM PRESENTATION

Exterior Lighting - Presentation (continued)
HID Basic Principle
The High Intensity Discharge (HID) lamp is a gas-discharge lamp. In
this type of lamps, the temperature of a gas is increased to give light.
Unlike an incandescent lamp in which the temperature of a strand is
increased to produce light.
Like all gas-discharge lamps, HID lamps also have special electrical
requirements:
To start an HID lamp, there must be a high voltage surge to generate
an arc in the gas. When the lamp is started, the gas has less resistance,
thus the power supply must be adjusted to agree with this decreased
resistance. If not, the lamp will use more and more power and will
burn itself out quickly.
A specific igniter and control unit is used to make the lamp wattage
agree with the electrical requirements. It supplies the necessary starting
voltage and then controls the subsequent flow of current to the lamp,
and thus adjusts the power. To generate the arc in the 50 W Xenon
metal halide HID lamp, it is necessary to have a starting voltage with
a maximum of 23000 volts and only 85 volts to keep it on.
There are different benefits when you use HID lamps:
-One 50 W Xenon metal halide HID lamp with 5300 lumens, is equal
to one 300 W halogen lamp.
-Have a much longer lifetime than incandescent lamps. On average,
the HID lamp lifetime is 20 times longer than incandescent lamps,
approximately 4000 operating hours.
-The light from HID lamps is whiter than the light from incandescent
lamps, thus the HID light seems to be brighter than the other lights.
