1. CABIN SYSTEMS INTRODUCTION

The cabin systems (ATA 44) consist of the units and Passenger Service System (PSS)
components which furnish a means of entertainment The PSS controls cabin functions for;
for the passengers and providing communication within
the aircraft between cabin and flight deck. -- Passenger information
-- Passenger assistance
The communication can include voice, data, music and -- Passenger lighting
video transmissions.
Aircraft manufacturers use different terminology for Cabin Interphone System (CIS)
the cabin systems. The CIS is used for communication between the flight
crew and cabin crew.
Cabin systems can be divided into:
-- Cabin Services System (CSS) Passenger Address (PA) System.
-- Passenger Service System (PSS) The PA system gives real time and recorded
-- Cabin Interphone System (CIS) announcements to the passengers cabin.
-- Passenger Address (PA) System
figure 1 shows the Boeing 787 cabin systems in block
schematic format.
Cabin Services System (CSS)
The CSS monitors and controls all passengers cabin
features for:
-- Communication
-- Comfort
-- Safety

2. COMMUNICATION
The following cabin communication functions can be In most aircraft, the cabin systems can be managed
applicable: from the Cabin Attendant Panel (CAP) (see figure 2) by
means of several selectable menu’s.
-- Passenger Address (PA)
-- Cabin and flight crew interphone An example of some menu’s for the Boeing 787 are
-- Call system shown in figure 3.
-- Cabin information sign displays
-- Service interphone An example of a menu on the cabin attendant panel of
-- Boarding music and pre-recorded announcements the Airbus A380 is shown in figure 4.
In each aircraft type, these systems will vary and can

be named differently.
Within Airbus aircraft, some of these functions are
combined inside the Cabin Intercommunication Data
System (CIDS).
Also some functions of the communication system are
part of the emergency functions, for example; the
Passenger Address or PA functions.
The cabin communication systems can be used by
cabin attendants and the cockpit crew.

3. FUNCTIONS AND COMPONENTS

The Cabin Service System (CSS) does the following The CSSC communicates with the (see figure 1):
functions (Boeing 787):
-- In-Flight Entertainment (IFE) system
-- Passenger address: -- Common Data Network (CDN)
Announcements, alerts and cabin entertainment -- Core network
-- Cabin interphone: -- Cabin Zone Units (CZU’s)
Cabin and flight crew communication
-- Passenger services: The CZU’s controls these functions:
Passenger call and information sign displays
-- Maintenance fault recording and cabin logbook -- Area LED lighting (see figure 9)
-- Master call (see figure 10)
The CSS consist of the following main components -- Passenger address
(see figure 1): -- Cabin interphone
-- Dimmable windows (B787) (see figure 11)
-- Cabin Service System Controller (CSSC)
(see figure 5) The CZU’s interface with (see figure 1):
-- Cabin Zone Units (CZU’s) (see figure 6)
-- Passenger Service Modules (PSM’s) (see figure 7) -- Cabin services system controller
-- Cabin Attendant Panels (CAP’s) (see figure 2) -- Cabin attendant panels
-- Speaker Drive Modules (SDM’s) (see figure 8) -- Cabin attendant handsets (see figure 12)
-- Flight deck communication panels and handset
The CSSC is the central control unit of the Cabin (see figure 13)
Services System and contains CSS LRU software and -- CZU’s in other cabin zones
cabin configuration software.
The cabin configuration software controls functions
as seating and cabin zones, lighting options and
information signs.

4. COMFORT (IN-FLIGHT ENTERTAINMENT)

In modern aircraft, the passengers have access to the It connects the IFE system with the data and radio
In-Flight Entertainment (IFE) system. communication systems ( for example SATCOM and
Terminal Wireless LAN) in the aircraft (see figure 18).
On aircraft with extended range, many operators have
installed LCD screens in the back-side of the cabin The cabin Network Server Unit (NSU) may host the
seats (see figure 14). following functions:
Between aircraft manufacturers and operators, a great -- Duty free reports/ cabin inventory
variety of IFE systems are used. -- Access to pre-departure/departure reports
(see figure 15 and figure 16) -- Email/intranet/Internet access
-- Passenger data base
The more IFE functionalities are added, the cabin -- Quality monitoring (e.g. catering)
system complexity increases. -- Mass storage/communication for the IFE system
In most aircraft, each passenger has the ability to (e.g. TV news)
select audio channels on Passenger Control Units Figure 19 shows a basic ife system lay-out which is
(PCU’s). commonly used on the Boeing 737 and Airbus A320.
Passenger control units are installed in the seat arm
rest or in the seat back side (see figure 17).
Depending on the installed IFE system on the aircraft,
the PCU’s are connected to video systems and/or other
communication systems when a cabin network server
is used.
The cabin Network Server Unit (NSU) for the newer
Airbus aircraft is designed in accordance to the ARINC
763 specifications.

5. SAFETY (CABIN MONITORING SYSTEM)

Monitoring the area before and behind the cockpit door
is an important factor in flight security and safety.
In modern aircraft, the cabin monitoring system is
composed of the Cockpit Door Surveillance System
(CDSS) and of the Cabin Video Monitoring System
(CVMS).
The CDSS is designed to help the cockpit crew to
identify a person requesting entrance to the cockpit
and to survey the doors via video camera observation.
For example, on board the Boeing 777, pictures of
the monitoring system are displayed on the Electronic
Flight Bag (EFB) display (see figure 20).
The CVMS is mainly designed to help the cabin- and
cockpit crew in video surveillance of the whole cabin
and some other areas like the crew rest compartment
and galleys.
The CVMS is installed to detect unruly passengers,
suspicious behaviors or other potential threats
occurring in these areas (see figure 21).
