16、61-62ARINC CHARACTERISTIC 726 - Page 11.0 INTRODUCTION1.1 Purpose of This DocumentThis document sets forth the characteristics of a FlightWarning Computer System (FWCS) intended for use incommercial transport aircraft.The intent of this document is to provide general andspecific design guidance for
17、the development andinstallation of a FWCS primarily for airline use. It willdescribe the desired operational capability of the systemand the standards necessary to ensure the level ofinterchangeability specified in Section 1.4.Equipment manufacturers should note that this documentencourages them to
18、produce maintenance-free, high-performance equipment. They are at liberty to accomplishthis objective by means of design techniques they considerto be the most appropriate, as their airline customers areinterested primarily in the end result rather than the meansemployed to achieve it.COMMENTARYAler
19、ting devices are provided in aircraft to drawthe flight crews attention to the onset ofconditions which, if left unchanged, could causeoperational difficulties or prejudice the continuedsafety of the flight. The circumstances in whichalerts are generated are determined from safetyand operational ana
20、lyses or are dictated byairworthiness authorities. Typical examples ofwarnings given to the flight crew are: stallwarning, configuration warning, landing gearwarning, cabin altitude and pressure,VMO/MMO, fuel pressure warning, oil pressurewarning and fire warnings.1.2 Summary of Operational Characte
21、risticsThe Flight Warning Computer System (FWCS) describedherein is intended to process caution and warning inputsfor visual and/or audible presentation to the flight crew.In one specific case (the stall warning stick shaker), tactilepresentation is used. The operational guidance containedin the Soc
22、iety of Automotive Engineers documentARP450D, “Integrated Flight Deck Alerting Systems” hasbeen followed in determining the functional specificationfor the system.1.3 Brief Description of the SystemThe FWCS may consist of one or two Flight WarningComputer Units (FWCUs) and appropriate combinationsof
23、 the other units described in this Section, as determinedby the system designer. The single computer installationis expected to suffice in simple aircraft. The dualcomputer installation may be needed in more complexaircraft. Attachment 1 to this document shows typicalsystem architectures.The two com
24、puters of the dual computer architecture areidentical and interchangeable. Essential warnings areacquired and processed by both computers redundantly.The acquisition and processing of other warnings andcautions are shared between them. This arrangementprovides the optimum dispatchability and reliabi
25、lity andthe minimum spares provisioning burden. Attachment 6to this document shows how the system handles differenttypes of warning inputs.1.3.1 Flight Warning Computer Unit (FWCU)The FWCU contains logic to process warning inputs andto perform flight phase inhibit and priority switchingfunctions. It
26、 also contains the circuitry to generateaudible warning sounds and a coded digital output for useby visual warning and caution displays.1.3.2 Warning and Caution DisplayWarning and caution information will be presented to theflight crew on one or more alpha/numeric displays and bymeans of essential
27、caution and warning lights which mayor may not be located on these displays. In many, if notmost, FWCS installations, the primary visualalpha/numeric display will be provided on one of theCRTs of a multi-CRT electronic instrumentation system.The FWCU coded digital output data will be translatedinto
28、alpha/numeric format in the designated symbolgenerator unit of that system. In installations in aircraftnot equipped with such comprehensive CRT displayfacilities, it will be necessary to provide dedicateddisplay(s) which incorporate the ability to translate theFWCUs coded output into alpha/numerics
29、. See Chapter6 of this document for further details.1.3.3 Status and Maintenance PanelThe Status and Maintenance Panel provides a humaninterface for the FWCS BITE. It consists of a display andcontrol unit for initiation of automated test, post-flightrecall of inflight failures and presentation of in
30、structionsfor maintenance action. If desired, its functions may beintegrated with other systems status/maintenanceinformation facilities at a central location on the aircraft.1.3.4 Additional Warning and Caution LightsWarning and caution lights, additional to the essentiallights specified in Section
31、 1.3.2 above, will be installed inthe glareshield (or elsewhere in the cockpit), as the needsof the system dictate.1.3.5 Miscellaneous InputsInput facilities should be provided to meet system designneeds such as:- Emergency audio cancel- Recall (if not installed on th e display)1.4 Interchangeabilit
32、y1.4.1 GeneralOne of the primary functions of an ARINC EquipmentCharacteristic is to designate, in addition to certainperformance parameters, the interchangeability desired foraircraft equipment produced by various manufacturers.Manufacturers are referred to Section 1.6 of ARINCReport 414 for the ai
33、rline industrys definitions of Termsand General Requirements for interchangeability. Asexplained in that Report, the degree of interchangeabilityconsidered necessary and attainable for each particularequipment is specified in the pertinent ARINC EquipmentCharacteristic.ARINC CHARACTERISTIC 726 - Pag
34、e 21.0 INTRODUCTION (contd)1.4.2 Interchangeability Desired for the ARINC 726FWCSLimited unit interchangeability is desired for the FWCUin the programmed state, i.e., the unit should beinterchangeable between the various models (dashnumbers) of an aircraft type. Complete unitinterchangeability is de
35、sired for the unit in theunprogrammed state, i.e., any ARINC 726 FWCU shouldbe capable of being programmed to function properly onany aircraft type.COMMENTARYThe airlines recognize that their desire for full unitinterchangeability of the FWCU must be temperedby the fact that software differences wil
36、l be neededto accommodate the different characteristics of theaircraft types in which it will be installed.1.4.3 “Generation Interchangeability” ConsiderationsThe airlines desire future evolutionary equipmentimprovements and the inclusion of any additionalfunctions in new equipments during the next
37、few years tobe achieved without violating the interwiring and formfactor standards set forth in this document. Provisions toensure forward-looking “generation interchangeability”(as best can be predicted) are included in this document toguide manufacturers in these future developments.1.5 Regulatory
38、 ApprovalThe equipment should meet all applicable regulatoryrequirements. This Characteristic does not and cannot setforth the specific requirements that an equipment mustmeet to be assured of government regulatory agencyapproval. Such information must be obtained fromgovernment regulatory agencies
39、directly.REPLACEMENT PAGE REVISED: September 8, 1980ARINC CHARACTERISTIC 726 - Page 32.0 INTERCHANGEABILITY STANDARDS2.1 IntroductionThis section of this Characteristic sets forth the specificform factors, mounting provisions, interwiring, input andoutput interfaces and power supply characteristics
40、desiredfor the complete Flight Warning Computer System.These standards are necessary to ensure the continuedindependent design and development of both theequipment and the airframe installations.Manufacturers should note that although thisCharacteristic does not preclude the use of different formfac
41、tors and interwiring features, the practical problem ofredesigning what will then be a standard aircraftinstallation to accommodate some special system couldvery well make the use of that other design prohibitivelyexpensive for the customer. They should recognize,therefore, the practical advantages
42、of developingequipment in accordance with the form factor, interwiringand signal standards of this document.2.2 Form Factors, Connectors and Index Pin Coding2.2.1 Flight Warning Computer Unit (FWCU)The FWCU should comply with the dimensionalstandards in ARINC Specification 600, “Air, TransportAvioni
43、cs Equipment Interfaces (NIC Phase I)”, for the 6MCU form factor. The FWCU should also comply withARINC 600 standards in respect of weight, rackingattachments, front and rear projections and cooling.The FWCU should be provided with a low insertion force,size 3 shell ARINC 600 service connector. This
44、connector should be located on the center grid of theFWCU rear panel, and index pin code 03 should be used.The top and center inserts of this connector (LTP, RTP,LMP and RMP) should each provide 150 contacts. Thelower inserts (LBP and RBP should provide 11 singlecontacts and spaces for two small-dia
45、meter coaxialcontacts. Attachment 1A to this document shows theconnector arrangement and Attachment 2 the pinassignments.If functions not assigned pins on the service connector inAttachment 2 to this document are needed to be broughtto the “outside world” to facilitate testing the FWCU withautomatic
46、 test equipment (ATE), they should be assignedpins on auxiliary connector whose type and location isselected by the equipment manufacturer. Themanufacturer should observe the standards of ARINCSpecification 600 when choosing the location for thisconnector and note that, other than to accommodate the
47、needs for equipment identification by the ATE describedin Section 8.2 of this document, he is free to makewhatever pin assignments on it he wishes. The airlines donot want the unassigned (“future spare”) pins of theservice connector used for functions associated solelywith ATE use.NOTE: The combinat
48、ion of pin density and terminationscan make connections susceptible to short circuitfaults between adjacent pins. Such a fault couldresult in a false warning being “triggered” inparallel with a true warning. Should such a faultresult in an extra2.2.1 Flight Warning Computer Unit (FWCU) (contd)NOTE:
49、drive to the display of a real warning, no prob-(contd) lem would exist. However, the same will not betrue if the result is a “false” display warning inconjunction with a true warning. Whenallocating pins on any connector, includingthose on internal wiring terminations andprinted circuit boards, the following segregationpriority should be observed.Any pin to adjacent pin short resulting in aTRUE warning plus:1. Any false Emergency Engine Warningshould be considered as unacceptable.2. Any false Emergency Warning (notinhibi
