Integrated Flight Information System (IFIS)

IFIS-5010 by R. Collins

The Integrated Flight Information System (IFIS), installed as an option with PA-05
avionics suite, provides supplemental aircraft situational awareness information.

The IFIS provides a mass storage to display enhanced map overlay, electronic
Charts, geographic, political features, airspace, airways on a dedicated Multifunction
Display (MFD), AFD-3010E Adaptive Flight Display, that is a option necessary for IFIS
operations.

The FSU-5010 provides processing and mass storage for all IFIS
functions. The FSU communicates with the MFD via a high bandwidth
Ethernet bus.

This system is not intended as a means for navigation.

Component description

Separated +28 V dc sources, fed by the Right Avionics

single feed bus, are required for normal and backup
operation of the FSU.

Both sources of power are applied through protection

circuits to the FSU power supply.

The FSU supplies APM POWER (+8 V dc) and APM

GROUND to the ECU.

ECU discretes

The CLOCK discrete input is applied to EEPROMs U1 and U2. This

input is used to synchronize the SERIAL DATA IN and SERIAL
DATA OUT data buses.
 The SERIAL DATA IN discrete output transmits configuration
data to the ECU. Only when the chip is selected and the write-
protect is disabled the EEPROM accept this data.
 The CHIP SELECT 1 discrete determines if the EEPROM U1 is
selected to receive or transmit data (ground = selected, +5 V dc
= not selected).
 The CHIP SELECT 2 discrete determines if the EEPROM U2 is
selected to receive or transmit data (ground = selected, +5 V dc
= not selected).

ECU discretes

The WRITE PROTECT 1 discrete determines if the EEPROM U1

will receive or transmit data if selected (ground = transmit, +5 V
dc = receive).
 The WRITE PROTECT 2 discrete determines if the EEPROM U2
will receive or transmit data if selected (ground = transmit, +5 V
dc = receive).
The SERIAL DATA OUT discrete is output from EEPROMs U1 and
U2. Only when the chip is selected and the write-protect
discrete is enabled, the EEPROM will transmit data.

FSU Discretes

The FANMONITOR discrete from the MMT indicates the

operating condition of the MMT fan (ground = normal, open =
failed).
The STRUT SWITCH discrete from the main strut switch
indicates if the aircraft is on the ground or in the air (ground =
on ground, open = in air).

ARINC 429 Inputs

The FSU uses three ARINC 429 receivers. Each receiver is

individually software configurable as high speed (100 kHz) or
low speed (12.5 kHz).
Following are the inputs that are used by the IFIS:
The L-GP-5 digital data bus is configured as high speed and
inputs IAPS data generated by the left IOC.
The L-CMU-11 digital data bus is configured as high speed and
inputs CMS data generated in the CMU (not available on P180).
The L-CMU-13 digital data bus is configured as high speed and is
the dataload return for the CMU and radio (not available on
P180).

ARINC 429 Outputs

The FSU uses two ARINC 429 transmitters. Each transmitter is

individually software configurable as high speed (100 kHz) or
low speed (12.5 kHz).

Following are the outputs that are used by the IFIS:

The L-FSU-1 digital data bus is configured as high speed and
transmits advanced display feature data to the left IOC.
The L-FSU-3 digital data bus is configured as high speed and
transmits data to the optional Collins Portable Access System
(CPAS) for ARINC 429 data load.

The FSU provides a total of four Ethernet receivers.

Following are the receivers that are used by the IFIS.
The L-MFD-1 Ethernet bus inputs advanced feature data from
the MFD. The R-FSU-2 Ethernet bus inputs advanced feature
data from the FSU.
The L-CPAS-3 Ethernet bus inputs advanced feature data from
the optional Collins Portable Access System (CPAS).

are the inputs that are normally used by the IFIS:
The L-FMC-5 digital data bus is configured as high speed and
inputs return data generated during dataload.
The MDC-3 digital data bus is configured as high speed and
inputs return data generated during dataload.

MMT-5000 Equipment Mount

The MMT is used to mount the FSU-5010 and the ECU-3000. The
MMT also has a fan that provides forced air cooling to the FSU.
A fan monitor circuit monitors the operation of the mount fan
and outputs a discrete to the FSU indicating the fan condition.
The on-side +28 V dc aircraft power is applied through a
protection circuit to the MMT power supply. The power supply
develops the internal supply level for the fan and the fan
monitor circuit.

Troubleshooting & test
Make sure that the formats on all of the displays
appear normal for the position of the installed display
and the configuration of the aircraft.
Also, make sure that the fan on the left MMT-5000 is
rotating freely and is blowing cooling air through the
FSU.

For additional and detailed aircraft wiring diagrams

refer to R. Collins PIAGGIO AVANTI P-180 AVIONICS
