AIRBORNE RECORDER FILE FORMAT

1992-01-01

CURRENT

ARINC657

This document defines the characteristics necessary to standardize the airborne recorder download file format in order to facilitate data import, transcription, and exchange. A standardized data format will reduce the variety of readout equipment required for airborne recorder data transcription. This document defines the detailed architecture of the Recorder Standard Output (RSO) file. The architecture is a tagged file structure within which many different files and their formats can be supported. The structure is necessary to support newer recording requirements for flight data, data link, audio, and image recording. This structure is intended for use with all civil recorders and should support use with military recorders.

CABIN EQUIPMENT INTERFACES PART 4C CABIN MANAGEMENT AND ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM - CABIN DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM - 2ND GENERATION - DAISY CHAIN

2005-09-15

CURRENT

ARINC628P4C

ARINC Specification 628 Part 4 defines standards for the aircraft IFE Cabin Distribution System (CDS) wiring, connectors, power, identification codes, space envelopes and mounting principles. The equipment itself is not a subject of this specification because it may be unique to the system manufacturer or market place driven. Design guidelines are included for informational purposes as these guidelines impact the interfaces and installation of cabin equipment aboard the aircraft. The CDS, in daisy chain architecture, is the content of both Parts 4A and 4C of ARINC Specification 628. Part 4C presents the second generation also known as 2GCN of the daisy chain topology, as an evolution based on the experience gained with the first version of the CDS. The main difference is that the system in Part 4C is divided into two separated networks, one for data, connected to the CEC, and the other one for power, connected to the Aircraft Power Supply.

CABIN EQUIPMENT NETWORK BUS

2020-06-19

CURRENT

ARINC854

This standard defines a new cabin network bus. While ARINC Specification 485: Cabin Equipment Interfaces, Part 2, Physical Layer – In-seat Protocol defined a low-speed serial communications interface between electronic equipment in the passenger seat, it is design-focused on obtaining status from in-seat electronic equipment. ARINC Specification 854 is a messaging protocol but does not preclude using the bus for video streaming or multicast. Cabin Equipment has evolved from the very simple to quite sophisticated systems. The resulting communications needs have surpassed the ability of ARINC 485 to provide the necessary data capacity and response times. The basic requirements for low latency, full duplex, elimination of ARINC 485 Master/Slave polling and lower weight drives the selection of 100BASE-T1 (per IEEE 802.3) as the preferred bus format.
