Federated digital architecture

Systens communicate via a 1553B bus

Additions are easy, only requires that the
bus controller be reprogrammed
Can employ many buses to separate
common equipment (ex : EW on the F-18
with its own MC)

Interchangeable modules can

realize diffrent system
functions
Permits on-board
repairs/swaps, that can
automatically reconfigure
Common types of serial digital data transmission are:

11
Single source-single sink. This is the earliest application

and comprises a dedicated link from one piece of
equipment to another. This was developed in the 1970s
for use on Tornado and Sea Harrier avionics systems.

Common types of serial digital

data transmission are:
Single source-multiple sink. This describes a

technique where one piece of transmitting
equipment can send data to a number of
recipient pieces of equipment (sinks). ARINC
429 is an example of this data bus which is
widely used by civil transport and business jets.
www.OSTROUMOV.co.cc
OSTROUMOV IVAN
13
Common types of serial digital

data transmission are:
Multiple source-multiple sink. In this system, multiple

transmitting sources may transmit data to multiple
receivers. This is known as a full-duplex system and is
widely employed by military users (M1L-STD-1553B)
and by the B777 (ARINC 629).

The major digital data buses in

widespread use today in avionics
are:

The ARINC 429 specification defines the

requirements for a data transmission system based
on the use of a single data source and reception of
that data by up to 20 sinks or receivers. The
maximum number of receivers permitted for
connection to a source is limited by the specified
minimum receiver input impedance.

The signal has three states 'HI', 'NULL' and 'LO'

represented by the differential voltage between the
two wires of the cable.
A logical 1 is signalled by transmission of a +10
1V pulse followed by a 00.5V null period.
A logical 0 is signalled by transmission of a 10
1V pulse also followed by a 0 0.5V null period.
www.OSTROUMOV.co.cc
OSTROUMOV IVAN

Two ranges of transmission rate are defined.

'High Speed' at 100 kbps 1% and
'Low Speed' in the range 12 to 14.5 kbps.

ARINC 429 organizes data in 32 bit words.

typical ARINC 429 word consisting of five parts:
Label
Source/Destination Identifier (SDI)
Data field
Sign/Status Matrix (SSM)
Parity bit

ARINC 429 Word Format

31
OSTROUMOV IVAN
www.OSTROUMOV.co.cc
Label (data name)(1-8)
OSTROUMOV IVAN
32
each sink is required to inspect the Label field which

is encoded in octal to represent the type of
information contained within the 32-bit word.
Each data item is assigned a label code listed in the
ARINC 429 specification and each source may have
up to 255 Labels, assigned for its use.
www.OSTROUMOV.co.cc
Source/ Destination Identifier (SDI)
OSTROUMOV IVAN
33
The SDI field contains just two bits.

The SDIs functions are to:
indicate the intended destination of the data on
a multi-sink bus
identify the source of the data on a multi-source

bus (multi-system installation)
to add an extension to the Label, in which case
receiving systems decode the Label/SDI
combination.

www.OSTROUMOV.co.cc
Sign/Status Matrix (SSM)
OSTROUMOV IVAN
36
It may be used to indicate sign information e.g. +, -,

compass direction etc. Each Label has its own unique
implementation of the SSM Sign function.
The SSM field may also be used to indicate the
source equipment status, operational mode or data
validity.
Parity

The parity bit is set to impose odd parity on the

word.

The standard defines three word formats

all words are 20 bit times long
The Command Word is issued only by a bus
controller and is used to convey commands to RTs.
CW (Bit times)
www.OSTROUMOV.co.cc
OSTROUMOV IVAN
47
1 3 are used for an invalid Manchester

synchronising pattern.
4 8 contain the address of the RT that is to act on
the command (11111 indicates a broadcast
command).
9 - the T/R bit, indicates to the receiving RT
whether it is to transmit (T/R = 1) or receive (T/R =
0) data words in response to the command.
CW (Bit times)
www.OSTROUMOV.co.cc
OSTROUMOV IVAN
48
10 14, if set to 00000 or 11111, indicate that the

next 5 bits are to be interpreted as a mode code. If set
to any other value they indicate a subaddress within the
subsystem served by the RT that is to source or receive
data.
15 16 indicate either a mode code that requires the
RT to perform some control function (e.g. Reset, Initiate
Self Test etc.) or the number of Data Words to be either
received or transmitted by the RT.
Bit 20 is a parity bit set for odd parity over the
previous 16 bits.
Data Words
www.OSTROUMOV.co.cc
OSTROUMOV IVAN
49
Data Words may be transmitted either by the BC or

RT.
Bits 1 3 are used for an invalid Manchester
Bits 4 19 contain the data to be conveyed. Bit 20
is the parity bit.
Status Words
www.OSTROUMOV.co.cc
OSTROUMOV IVAN
50
Status Words are transmitted only by RTs and are

used to indicate to the BC the state of the RT and
the RTs view of recent events on the bus. For
example, certain status bits are used to indicate
whether there is a fault in the subsystem or terminal
and others the results of error checking, broadcast
message reception and service request (latent
interrupt) conditions.
Status Words
www.OSTROUMOV.co.cc
OSTROUMOV IVAN
51
Bit times 1 3 are used for an invalid Manchester

Bits 4 8 contain the address of the RT transmitting
the Status word.
Bits 9 11 and 15 19 are the status bits and bits
12 14 are reserved and unused (always 0).
