1. INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this document is to record the various graphical / data interfaces used by Honeywell products in conjunction with
or instead of the ARINC 708A 453 bus.
Therefore, this document will cover numerous methods for accomplishing the same task. The product receiving/generating the
information is NOT expected to implement more than one of the listed methods.
Minimum KCPB implementations must include the following:

4.3.1 Label 020 - Raster Image Data
The display must be able to ignore other messages (Labels 021 023 027…).
Typical KCPB implementations include the minimum set plus the following:
4.3.7 Label 027 – Query / Setup
6.3.1 Query Response
6.3.2 Key Press
Full up KCPB implementation will include the typical plus the following:
4.3.4 Label 023 – Palette Definition
4.3.5 Label 024 – Text Label
No implementation will ever need to implement the full spectrum of this document. Only sections applicable to the specific
display need to be implemented.
1.1 Conventions
The “BYTE” column will contain the byte number (1…N), an optional comma, and additional bytes. Bits within a byte are
defined per one of the following:
1) a colon and the bit (i.e. 4:3 means bit 3 of byte 4),
2) a colon, the most significant bit, a dash, and the least significant bit, (i.e. 1:7-5 means bits 5 through 7 of byte 1)
3) nothing if all bits are used (i.e. 6 means byte 6)
NOTE: for labels where the bits are reversed 1:0-7 indicates the reversal while 1:7-0 is a normal byte.
The “Linear Bits” column will contain the bit position (1...nn) from the beginning of the packet. Multiple bit items will be shown
as the MSB – LSB.
1.1.1 Labels
Label for 453 and 429 buses are octal.
1.1.2 Abbreviations
SLSB - Signed 2’s complement LSB
ULSB - Unsigned LSB
1.2 Color Definitions

The standard coding for color is shown in the following paragraphs.
Palette colors are assumed to be indexes into a palette of 256 24-bit color entries. Palette entries with a ‘+’ in front are additive to
the color value. All colors start at 0x00. Palette entries without a ‘+’ are directly the color value. Undefined and expansion
colors shall default to Red: 0x00 Green: 0x00 Blue: 0x00.
All color “Values” are in hex.
Hex Value Intensity
0x00 Off
0x55 1/3 full intensity
0xAA 2/3 full intensity
0xFF Full intensity

2. Electrical characteristics
2.1 ARINC 453

The physical, electrical and signal characteristics of the bus will conform to appendix A of ARINC 708A, with the following
exceptions:
a. The use of a coupling transmitter at the receiver site shall be optional. In such cases, the inputs should be protected against
excessive voltages that occur as a result of physical cabling fault.
b. The bus will be a single-transmitter-only configuration, and such parts of the 708A specification relating to multi-transmitter
functionality will not be observed.
2.2 Ethernet (Future)
2.2.1 10BaseT
In addition to the standard 453 physical interface, the KCPB can be utilized on a 10BaseT network as an application layer.
2.2.2 100BaseT
In addition to the standard 453 physical interface, the KCPB can be utilized on a 100BaseT network as an application layer.
2.2.3 Protocols
2.2.3.1 UDP/IP
3. Standard Weather Bus
The Standard Weather Bus conforms to the ARINC 708A 453 specification.
3.1 Label 055

The use of label OCTAL 055 is reserved in order to help coordinate interoperability between KCPB devices and ARINC 708
devices. Label 055 shall not be designated for KCPB usage.

4. Keyed Component Picture Bus (KCPB)
4.1 Introduction
The KCPB is the specification of a family of proprietary data formats intended for the transport of digital image pixel data and
other related information to display hardware manufactured by Honeywell. Although the most common usage will probably be
the movement of pixel data to display units, the specification is not limited to such uses and other formats may be introduced into
the specification as needed to fulfill future requirements. The initial header types are set forth in the body of this document.
An assumption in the specification of this interface is that Honeywell controls all aspects of its use- the source, destination and all
electrical characteristics. Interoperability with other industry standards is neither implied nor inferred.
The KCPB specification defines the header structure of the bus as well as what types of representation may be used for the pixel
coding.
The KCPB contains bits that should be monitored at all times to detect alerts and warnings. If a switched bus architecture is
utilized, it is recommended that the display monitor the 429 bus for the threat detection.
4.2 Packet Definition

A packet is defined of as continuous sequences of Manchester-encoded bits, prefaced by the (non-Manchester) SYNC symbol
(binary 111000, NRZ, 500 ns per bit) and delimited by an ANTISYNC symbol (binary 000111). These symbols conform to
ARINC708A.
The bits compromising a packet are numbered sequentially beginning with bit 1 (one), exclusive of the SYNC symbol. Multi-bit
symbols are sent LSB-first.
Each packet is comprised of a HEADER segment and zero or more DATA segments.
4.2.1 Header segment

A header is comprised of a unique 8-bit LABEL, followed by (0 or more) bits whose position and meaning are specified within
this document. The Header must appear immediately following the SYNC symbol. Header segments are always an integral
number of bytes, i.e., the length of a header segment modulo-8 must always equal zero.
4.2.2 Data Segment

A data segment is a sequence of symbols, the interpretation of which is specified in this document. There is no restriction on the
composition of data segments; they may be defined as necessary to support a given application. It is recommended that data
segments be referenced by pointers located in the front of headers in labels where there is any likelihood of future expansion.
This will enable header definitions to be expanded in the future without ‘breaking’ existing application code in the field.
4.2.3 Pad Segment

The packet may optionally be padded out to the 1600 bits of a standard weather bus data packet. This option is undesirable and
will only be enabled when receive hardware requires it.
4.3 Display Labels

The following label types are identified for KCPB. KCPB-compliant interfaces are not required to support all the labels identified
herein- only that necessary for the functionality of a particular product need be implemented.
4.3.1 Label 020 - Raster Image Data
This label is intended for the transfer of pixel display data to digital row/column rasterized display. All references to X-Y
coordinates are those of a logical display space and do not refer to the physical screen coordinates of a receiving device. It is up
to the receiving device to position the data appropriately on its physical display space. If such additional control is desired it may
be specified through additional header data (i.e., another label or use of the upper 2 bytes of this label).

1:0-7 8-1 020 = “PIXEL DATA”
2:1-0 10-9 Data Accept x1 – Indicator 1 accept
1x – Indicator 2 accept
2:3-2 12-11 COORDINATE SYSTEM This field defines the origin (0,0)
00 = center left (Horizontal) and direction for decoding DATA
01 = center right (Horizontal) SEGMENT.
10 = top center (Vertical) Bottom Center is the preferred
11 = bottom center (Vertical) setting.
2:7-4 16-13 Pixel Size / Palette Select See table below
3,4 32-17 ROW (Horizontal) or COLUMN (Vertical) Row/column is signed 2/s
complement, negative is LEFT of

5:7-6 40-39 Range Scale Select 00 = 5nm (default)
01 = 0.5nm
10 = 50nm
11 = reserved
6:7-0 48-41 Range – LSB per Range Scale Select ULSB = Normally 5nm
See note 2 below.
7:5-0 54-49 Display Mode See note 1 below. Default 0
7:7-6 56-55 Display Reference 00 – Track
01 – Heading
10 – North Up
8 64-55 Unassigned – available for use by applications as
desired
9+ (DATA SEGMENT)
NOTE 1: Echoes the Display Mode from the Key Press/Mode message. This is used to confirm the mode change for systems
using the modal display feature. For non-modal display systems, this field can be ignored.
NOTE 2: Range is preferred to be 5nm LSB but some displays require ranges that exceed this 8-bit field (5…1275nm). To
support these special ranges an alternate range scale should be selected. The special case of Range=0 is undefined.

4.4.4.3 Viewable Mask

The EGPWS computes the highest and lowest (black/green boundary) data displayed and sends the altitudes to the display as text
in image (020) or as overlay text (024). To compute these elevations, the EGPWS needs to know what of the rectangular image is
viewable by the pilot. This mask provides the boundary for what is and is not seen by the pilot. This mask will also be used to
select a location for text in image (if used). The preferred order for the point is to start in the upper left hand corner and move
counter-clockwise around the mask (i.e. point 1 … 6 see diagram below). The range ring circle is assumed to be a second mask.
To disable this second mask, supply point 1…N and then point 1 again.

will fault the response.
4.4.4.7 Limitation Data

Limitation Data defines specifies limitation to the standard transmission:
• 6.5 ms interval for packages of variable length
• Text in Image
• 8-bit palette with roughly square pixels
• Auto-Range allowed
2 16-9 Type of data 7 – Limitation Data
3-4 32-17 Minimum period of packages (Word rate). This is ULSB = 1.0 us (Nominally 6.5
the time from the start of a package (label 020, 021, ms)
024, 025) to the start of the next package.
8-5 64-33 Field Request Mask (See note 2 below) Each bit corresponds to a Field
Number from 4.3.5. Default is 0.
9 72-65 Palette Width Number of bits in palette (0
indicates fixed palette)
10:0 73 Pad to 1600 bits Set to 1 if labels sent to display
need to be padded to 1600 bits
10:1 74 Disable Auto-Range
10:2 75 Text transmission method 0/1 – use label 025/024
10:3 76 Generic Range Enable (See note 3 below) 0 – 429 label 271 LSB = 0.5 nm
(FUTURE) 1 – 429 label 271 LSB = 5 nm
10:7-4 80-77 Spares
11 88-81 Width of Columns (see note 1 below) ULSB = 0.1 inches
12 96-89 Height of Rows (see note 1 below) ULSB = 0.1 inches
NOTE 1: Width of Columns and Height of Rows are used to determine the pixel size (see Columns and Rows in 4.4.4). This
information will be used to select fonts and fill patterns appropriate to the display. These numbers are the total width/height of
the columns/rows, not the width/height of a single column/row. This allows the system to accommodate a screen from 0.1”x0.1”
to 25.5”x25.5” which should be adequate.
NOTE 2: Field Request Mask is used in conjunction with Text transmission method to determine if text is sent “Text in Image”
or stroked by the display. This is not an all or nothing. Individual messages can be re-directed. A display should only re-direct
messages that are defined for that display so that future feature will be “Text in Image” until the display software can be
upgraded. The default is for all messages to be “Text in Image”.
NOTE 3: The range information may arrive in the standard KCPB format defined in paragraph 6.3.3 or as an alternate scale per
the weather radar control bus referenced in paragraph 6.5.2.2.

3-14 112-17 See basic Response data
This expansion data is used to mark the beginning of a new display mode definition. All subsequent data until the next Type 0
will be considered part of this mode. When this Type is used, the new mode is based on mode 0. All data is considered to be a
delta to mode 0.
Limitation Data does not need to be repeated if fields “Width of Column” and “Height of Row” have changed from mode 0 only
due to a change in window size (i.e. the pixel size did not change).
Viewable/Non-Viewable Mask should be supplied for each display mode if supplied for any display mode. Additional modes
will use the system default mask (not the one defined for mode 0).

6.1.4 Block Transfer via single Label

This protocol is used to transfer a block of data via a packet protocol that does not monopolize the bus. It allows packets of up to
255 words and up to 256 packets in a block. Several encoding methods are provided. 16-bit encoding is simple and robust while
utilizing 16/21 or 76% of the usable word. 20-bit encoding is more efficient (20/21 or 95%), but requires more processor on both
ends. 21-bit encoding is the most efficient (21/21 or 100%), but requires the most processor.

6.3 Data To EGPWS
6.3.1 Query Response

The Query Response exactly matches the information in paragraph 4.4.4. The information is broken into 2-byte packet with an
index. This limits the message to 64 bytes before the index (N-1/2) wraps. The response should be sent at a rate of not less than 2
words and not to exceed 30 words within a 1-second period. The Response may be sent continuously, if desired.
The message is sent using the Block Transfer (label 011, 16-bit, no final word) (See 6.1.4).
When using true Query then Response (instead of continuous Response), the following issues should be addressed:
• The EGPWS will be monitoring the bus with the Query Response on it for activity. Therefore, some other data needs to be
sent at least once per second to keep the bus active (this could be Range and/or Key Press).
• Initial (implementation #1) of the EGPWS will ignore the data in the Start of Block word. Therefore, the response should
send the data twice to ensure quick receipt. Otherwise, the data will not be accepted until a 2-second timeout has occurred.
6.3.2 Key Press/Display Mode
Key press/Display Mode should be sent at least every 200ms.

6.3.4 Terrain Data Request

Terrain Data Request defines the image that is requested. The Latitude, Longitude, and Altitude are centered on a 120 x 120 cell
(cell is 30”x30”). The translation table is used to encode/translate the terrain data into an image. This method of image transfer is
not preferred and should only be used as a last resort because the transfer rate is very slow (~40 seconds).
Terrain Data Requests will be sent using Block protocol 16-bit no final word on label 020 (See 6.1.4). Reference Position and
Translation Table are distinguished by length of message.

For label 060, the definition and weighting of the tilt shall be:
1:0-7 8-1 Label (Octal) 060
2:1-0 10-9 SDI N/A, set to 0s
2:7-2, 17-11 TILT ANGLE (Terrain Data Correlation Tilt) Per ARINC 708A definition, Bit
3:0 11 LSB
3:7-1, 24-18 Frame Number See NOTE 1 below
4:2-0
4:3 19 Terrain Selected - Left See NOTE 2 below
4:4 20 Terrain Selected - Right See NOTE 2 below
NOTE 1: Frame number is used to trigger a new Terrain Data Correlation Acquisition. The radar system will schedule the frame
capture and transmit via hazard bus 429 back to the EGPWS, as the radar’s schedule allows. The next frame capture will be
requested by the EGPWS when the Frame Number advances.
NOTE 2: These bits indicate if terrain is selected for display. If terrain is selected (implying weather is not) then this range will
not be used in determining the proper SRT or LRT value.
6.4.4.2 Autotilt Sector Tilt Definitions

For each label (061 to 065) the definition and weighting of the tilt shall be:
1:0-7 1-8 Label 061/062/063/064/065

NOTE: This label may be used for the range information of a KCPB type display provided that the response indicates the use of
the alternate range scale (See paragraph 4.4.4.7).
6.5.3 Hazard Bus Output (Future)

The radar hazard bus output will be redefined to add the labels and protocol for transmitting the radar ground returns to the
EGPWS. This will utilized the label 070 using 22-bit protocol without final word.
The radar image is transmitted on the existing 429 bus to simplify installation. One start word and 24 intermediate words are
required to transmit a spoke. Each request will generate only one frame.
Using all 512 spokes will require:
512 x 25 = 12,800 words Low Speed: 36.864 seconds High Speed: 4.608 seconds
Using every other spoke yields 256 spokes:
256 x 25 = 6,400 words Low Speed: 18.432 seconds High Speed: 2.304 seconds
