IDS
The integrated display system (IDS) monitors airplane systems
operation. The IDS shows failure conditions as flight deck effects
(FDEs). Flight deck effects can be EICAS messages, engine
exceedences, or a flight director bar bias. The IDS sends FDEs and
failure information to the CMCs. The CMCs evaluate the failure
information to determine which failures cause each FDE. The CMCs
correlate failures with FDEs and record the fault message, with its
correlated FDE, into memory. This helps the maintenance personnel
isolate faults and correct log book reports.
Some systems report failures directly to the CMCs. CDUs
The control display units (CDUs) act as keyboards for the CMCS. Fault
messages show on the CDUs. System tests are also started from the
CDUs. Test results show on the CDUs.
Printer
CMCS fault information can be printed on the multiple input printer.
ACARS
CMCS fault data can be downlinked to a ground station through
ACARS. The CMCS can receive an uplink request for fault data. The
CMCS responds with the requested fault data.

CMCS - GENERAL INTERFACE
General
There are two central maintenance computers (CMC) installed. A failure
of one CMC does not affect system operation.
Discrete Interfaces
All discrete inputs go to both CMCs. Each discrete output ties together
with the same output of the other CMC.
Digital Interfaces
All ARINC 429 inputs go to both CMCs.
Each CMC has eleven ARINC 429 outputs. One is a crosstalk bus that
goes to the other CMC.
The other ten buses of the right CMC go to switch relays in the left CMC.
The ten outputs of the left CMC go to various systems on the airplane.
The right CMC outputs are cut off within switch relays of the left CMC. If
the left CMC finds an internal failure, the switch relays energize and the
right CMC outputs pass through the left CMC to the various airplane
systems.
Airplane wiring connects to the left CMC, if only one CMC is available it
must be installed in the left CMC position.
CDUs
The control display units (CDUs) provide control of the CMCs and allow
access to CMC fault data. System tests are also started from the CDUs.
Test results show on the CDUs.
Printer
CMC fault information can be printed on the multiple input printer. 45.45.0707A-003

ACARS
CMCS fault data can be downlinked to a ground station through
ACARS. The CMCS can receive an uplink request for fault data. The
CMCs respond with the requested fault data.
Airborne Data Loader

An airborne data loader (ADL) is used to:
- Load operational software into the CMCs
- Record fault data onto a floppy disk.
The ADL sends operational software to both CMCs. Only the selected
CMC accepts the data and responds through its crosstalk bus output.
To record fault data onto a floppy disk, the CMC sends data to the ADL
on the same output as the printer.
Operation
The CMCs receive fault data from:
- Airplane systems
- EFIS/EICAS interface units (EIUs).
The EIUs also send flight deck effects (FDEs) to the CMCs. The CMCs
correlate FDEs to failure messages. This assists maintenance
personnel in isolating the cause of a FDE.
The CMCs start a system test by sending a test command on either a
discrete or a digital output to the selected system. The CMCs monitor
the results and indicate the result of the test on the CDU. 45.45.0707B-003

MCS-GROUND TEST ENABLE RELAYS - 1

The ground test enable relays provide added protection to inhibit some
LRU system tests.
There are eight ground test enable relays. The relays energize when
either the GND TESTS switch or the remote GND TESTS switch is in
the ENABLE position.
In the energized position, ground tests are enabled by one of two ways:
- A ground test enable discrete goes through one of the relays to the
LRU.
- A CMCS ground test command discrete goes through one of the
relays to the LRU.
For the air data computers (ADCs), the CMCS ground test discrete
outputs go through a ground test enable relay and an air/ground relay
before going to the respective ADC.
The EFIS/EICAS interface units (EIUs) monitor the status of the ground
test enable relays. When any relay is energized, the status message
GND TESTS ENABLE shows on the auxiliary EICAS display. The EIUs
monitor relays 4, 6 and 7 directly. Other systems monitor the status of
the other relays and send the information to the EIUs. The systems
which monitor the relays are:
- Relay 1 - brake system control unit (BSCU)
- Relay 2 and 8 - proximity switch electronics unit (PSEU)
- Relay 3 - left window heat control unit (WHCU)
- Relay 5 - stabilizer trim/rudder ratio modules (SRMs)

CMCS - FDE/FAULT MESSAGE CORRELATION

Certain criteria must be met to correlate a CMCS fault message to a
flight deck effect (FDE).
- They must occur within the same time frame.
- The FDE and fault message are matched on the CMC correlation list.
(For each FDE, the CMCS is programmed with a list of CMCS fault
messages that can be correlated to that FDE.)

CMCS - CORRELATION CRITERIA Some systems do not cause EICAS messages. These systems report
by direct input to the CMCs.
Airplane Systems
The airplane systems detect failures and send the fault data to the
CMCs or the EIUs on ARINC 429 data buses. Fault data that goes
directly to the CMCs are called direct inputs. Fault data that goes to the
EIUs, and then to the CMCs is called indirect inputs.
EICAS messages alert the crew of system level faults related to safe
flight. CMC fault messages provide detailed fault isolation to assist
maintenance personnel in fault isolation.
A fault can cause a CMCS fault message, and/or an EICAS message.
Often it causes both. It is the job of the CMC to correlate these two
messages.
The airplane systems send EICAS message data on the 270 series
labels and CMC fault message data on the 350 series labels.
EIUs
The EIUs get both 270 and 350 labels from the airplane systems. The
EIUs re-transmit the 350 label to the CMCs.
This is an indirect input.
Logic within the EIUs set EICAS messages when the EIUs get the
message data on label 270. When the EIUs set EICAS messages, they
send fault codes for the EICAS message to the CMCs.
CMCs
Logic in the CMCs store fault messages when the CMCs get the
message data on label 350. When the CMCs store fault messages, they
examine the fault codes from the EIUs. The CMCs examine its database
to determine if the fault correlates to any of the EIU fault codes. When
the CMCs find a match, the CMC then examines its database for the
defined correlation time frame.
Correlation occurs when the CMCs get a fault code from the EIUs, store
a fault message, and is within the time frame.

CMCS - FLIGHT PHASE SCREENING
Flight Phase Screening Logic

The CMCS is programmed with message logic for every CMCS fault
message. The message logic causes the CMCS to generate a fault
message when the conditions defined in the logic are true. Part of the
message logic for each fault message is a list of non-storable flight
phases for that fault. When a fault occurs, the CMCS checks the flight
phase list for the fault and determines if the current flight phase is in a
storable region of the fault. If the fault occurs during a flight phase that
is not within a storable flight phase, then the message is not stored in
present leg faults. If the fault is still active when a storable flight phase
is reached, then the fault is stored in non-volitile memory (NVM) with its
original time of occurance. Most flight phase screening occurs on the
ground. This prevents nuisance messages from being stored as a result
of normal operation, such as maintenance or preflight actions.
Present leg faults only shows an FDE if it is correlated to a CMCS fault
message stored in NVM, or if it is an active latchable status message.
The only exception to flight phase screening is for latchable status
messages. Latchable status messages temporarily show in present leg
faults with any correlated CMCS fault message. If any other FDE is not
correlated to a CMCS fault message stored in NVM, then it does not
show in present leg faults. A latchable status message active during
non-storable phases is removed from present leg faults when the
condition clears.
Time Window
The time window specifies the time allowed for each listed FDE to occur
and still correlate to the CMCS message. The time given is in seconds.
The time after is the time allowed after the occurance of the FDE for the
CMCS fault message to occur. The time before is the time allowed
before the occurance of the FDE for the CMCS fault message to occur.

General
The central maintenance computer system (CMCS) can correlate more
than one CMCS fault messages to a flight deck effect (FDE). The CMCS
can also correlate more than one FDE to a CMCS fault message.
Multiple Fault Messages

To see the correlated CMCS fault message for a FDE, push the line
select key (LSK) next to the FDE. The correlated CMCS fault message
shows on the control display unit (CDU). If there is more than one CMCS
fault message correlated to the FDE, the page indication shows multiple
pages. The page indication reflects the number of messages correlated
to the FDE. That is, if there are two correlated messages, the CDU
shows 1/2 in the upper right corner. Push the NEXT PAGE key to see
additional CMCS fault messages.
Multiple FDEs
To see the correlated CMCS fault message for a FDE, push the LSK
next to the FDE. The correlated CMCS fault message shows on the
CDU. If there is more than one FDE correlated to the CMCS fault
message, a prompt (<) shows next to the FDE. Push the LSK next the

CMCS - FIM - FAULT CODE INDEX
General
The fault isolation manual (FIM) provides a guide to isolate faults. The
FIM is divided into ATA chapters. Each chapter is divided into six
sections. The fault code index is one of the sections.
Fault Code Index

The fault code index lists all the eight digit fault codes for each ATA
chapter. These are the same codes as the fault reporting manual (FRM)
codes. The codes are listed in numerical order. The first two digits of
each code represents the ATA chapter.
Each flight deck effect (FDE) has it's own fault code. For most fault
codes related to a FDE, the fault code index directs the operator to figure
1 (Fault Isolation Procedure with the CMCS) at the front of the fault code
index. The fault isolation procedure diagram gives a step-by-step
procedure to isolate the cause of a FDE using the CMCS.
The fault code index lists all the CMCS fault messages that can be
correlated to the respective FDE.
NOTE: The fault isolation procedure diagram assumes you have
checked the fault code index for any special fault isolation
procedures or corrective action. It is important to refer to
the fault code index for each FDE.

CMCS - FLIGHT LEG LOGIC
General
The flight leg logic defines the flight leg period. There are no time gaps
between flight legs; when one ends the next flight leg begins.
Flight Leg Transition Logic

A flight leg normally begins when the first engine starts with the airplane
on the ground and IRS L & C OR L & R "ON ". If, however, the engines
are not shut down from the previous flight, then the flight leg starts when
the last door transition goes from open to close.
Flight Leg Enable Logic

The flight leg enable is used to prevent nuisance flight legs from
occurring because of engines start and shutdown or doors open and
closed. Once the enable occurs, it is stored and not used until the flight
leg transition logic is satisfied. Once the flight leg enable is used, a new
one must occur before the next flight leg transitions. The flight leg
enable occurs when takeoff thrust is applied with the parking brake
released. The enable goes to a flip flop where it is "latched". The output
of the flip flop remains high until the flight leg transition logic is satisfied.
When the flight leg transition logic goes high, the flip flop is cleared. The
output of the flip flop then remains low until the flight leg enable logic is
satisfied again.

the CDU. These rules apply to the addition of new faults to the NVM: NO FAULTS IN FAULT HISTORY shows if there are no faults in the fault
history.
- If the NVM is not full, then the new fault is stored in the NVM and no
faults are erased or overwritten.
- If the NVM contains 10 or more occurrences of the new fault, then the
new fault replaces the oldest occurrence of that fault.
- If there are less than 10 occurrences of the new fault and the NVM is
full, then the new fault replaces a fault in the oldest flight leg stored in
NVM.
Flight Phase Screening

The CMCS is programmed with message logic for every CMCS fault
message. The message logic causes the CMCS to generate a fault
message when the conditions defined in the logic are true. Part of the
message logic for each fault message is a list of non storable flight
phases for that fault. When a fault occurs, the CMCS checks the flight
phase list for the fault and determines if the current flight phase is a
storable phase for the fault. If the fault occurs in a flight phase that is not
storable, then the message is not stored in NVM. If the fault is still active
when a storable flight phase is reached, then the fault is stored with its
original time of occurance. Most flight phase screeing occurs on the
ground. This prevents nuisance messages from being stored as a result
of normal operation such as maintenance or preflight actions. 45.45.0736A-001

CMCS - AUTOMATIC FAULT HISTORY SYNCHRONIZATION

General
The CMCs automatically maintain identical fault history at power-up.
This is accomplished through crossloading.
Fault History Verification
At power-up, the CMC assumes its fault history is valid and disables
automatic fault history erase until a valid tail ID is received. When the
CMC receives a valid tail ID, it checks it against the stored tail ID. If they
match, the fault history is determined to be valid.
If the tail ID does not match, the entire fault history is automatically
erased. Automatic fault history synchronization occurs at this time.
Fault History Synchronization
Fault history synchronization is used to maintain the same data in both
CMC’s NVMs. This occurs at:
- power-up and a valid tail ID is received, or
- the time the crosstalk bus becomes valid
The CMCs synchronize the fault history based on not having identical
flight leg date/time for the last ten flight legs within both CMCs. The fault
history with the most recent date/time is crossloaded to the other CMC.
Other data that is crossloaded at fault history synchronization is:
- flight leg transition
- flight leg enable
Both the auto and manual leg enable is synchronized between the
CMCs.

CMCS - FAULT MESSAGE TYPES Other Messages

There are some messages that do not fall into the above categories.
General Some examples are:
There are four basic types of CMCS fault messages. They are: - NO TEST RESPONSE
- LRU internal fault messages - EECs NOT POWERED
- LRU faults reported by other LRUs. - PRINTER OUT OF PAPER
- Interface faults
- Other messages
LRU Internal Fault Messages

Most LRUs do a continuous BITE. The BITE monitors the internal
operation of the LRU. Many of these LRUs send the status of the
continuous BITE directly to the CMCS or through the EFIS/EICAS
interface units (EIUs) to the CMCS.
LRU Faults Reported by Other LRUs

Some systems do a continuous BITE and report the status of the BITE
to another LRU. The other LRU reports the status to the CMCS.
Some systems drive electro-mechanical or mechanical devices. These
systems monitor the operation of the devices. If a failure of the device
occurs, the LRU that controls the device reports the failure to the CMCS.
Interface Faults
Many systems interface with each other on ARINC 429 data buses. The
activity of each bus is monitored by LRUs receiving data on the ARINC
429 bus. If a receiving LRU stops receiving data on the bus, it reports
the loss of activity to the CMCS.
The CMCS records the interface faults as a BUS FAIL message. When
many buses fail, the CMCS has additional logic to isolate the cause of
the failure and consolidates the failures into one message. This is called
"bus fault consolidation".

message of the form: LRU-Y FAIL or LRU-- LRU-Y BUS FAIL.
General
LRU to LRU Bus Fail (Fault 4)
The CMCS uses ARINC 429 bus failure information to identify the most
probable cause of a failure. If there is only one receiving LRU on a bus and the receiving LRU
reports its input as failed, the CMCS cannot isolate the cause of the
Most LRUs that get ARINC 429 inputs report the status of the input to failure. There are three possible failures:

most likely the source and consolidates the multiple failures into one
message. - The ARINC 429 receiver is failed.
- The wiring between the two is shorted or opened. The CMCS sets a
No Bus Outputs (Fault 1) message of the form: LRU-X -- LRU-Y BUS FAIL.
If a LRU has multiple ARINC 429 outputs and if all receiving LRUs on all
outputs report their input as failed, the CMCS determines that the
source has failed. It sets a message of the form: LRU-X FAIL (NO BUS
OUTPUTS).
LRU Fail or Output Fail (Fault 2)

If a LRU has multiple ARINC 429 outputs and if all receiving LRUs on
one output report their input as failed, the CMCS determines there are
two possible failures. The two possible failures are:
- The ARINC 429 transmitter is failed.
- A common piece of wiring is shorted or opened. The CMCS sets a
message of the form: LRU-X FAIL or LRU-X OUTPUT BUS Z FAIL.
For LRUs that have only one ARINC 429 output and all receiving LRUs
report their inputs failed, the CMCS sets a similar message. Its form is
the same as above except the output bus is not assigned a number. 45.45.0759A-001
Receiving LRU Fail or Input Fail (Fault 3)

If only one of multiple receiving LRUs reports its input as failed, the
CMCS determines there are two possible failures. The two possible are:
- The ARINC 429 receiver is failed.

Operation
The microprocessor receives all fault and flight data. It stores all active
faults in random access memory (RAM). The microprocessor analyzes
the flight data and determines the proper flight phase. It analyzes the
fault data and refers to the fault message logic. It determines if a fault
occurs during a storable flight phase.
If a fault isactive during a storable flight phase of the fault, the CMC logs
the fault into nonvolatile memory (NVM) as part of fault history and
present leg faults.
The microprocessor also receives all FDEs. It analyzes the FDEs and
faults it receives. It refers to the correlation list, stored as part of the
operational software, and correlates FDEs to the appropriate CMC fault
message(s).
Fault Message Categories

Existing faults are faults that reside in RAM.
Present leg faults are faults that reside in fault history NVM for the
present flight leg (leg 00).
Fault history faults are faults that reside in fault history NVM for all flight
legs.

- Airline database software. The notes and help text that are airline
unique data to aid the operator with various information during CMCS
operation.
Only one CMC can be loaded at a time.
To program a CMC, select a CMC with the ADL switch. The ADL sends
a ground enable discrete through the switch to the selected CMC. The
data output of the ADL goes to both CMCs.
The selected CMC reads the data input and sends a data accept
response out on its crosstalk output. The crosstalk output goes through
the ADL switch to the ADL. This starts the data transfer.
The other CMC does not receive the enable discrete, and ignores the
ADL input. Loading indications show on the ADL front panel.
Fault data can be recorded onto a floppy disk inserted in the ADL. This
is part of the normal data output and uses the same output as the printer.
It does not pass through the software data loader switch.
