AFDX
AFDX
Avionics Full DupleX Switched Ethernet (AFDX) is
a standard that defines the electrical and protocol specifications (IEEE 802.3 and ARINC 664, Part 7) for the exchange of data between Avionics Subsystems. One thousand times faster than its predecessor, ARINC 429, it builds upon the original AFDX concepts introduced by Airbus. One of the reasons that AFDX is such an attractive technology is that it is based upon Ethernet, a mature technology that has been continually enhanced
AFDX
Increase flexibility in Avionics design Reduce aircraft wire counts, thus weight and cost Its first major use in A3xx Faults can be isolated and analyzed without impacting the system as a whole ARINC 429 data bus may still be used but the main Avionics data pipe will be Ethernet (AFDX) of 100 Mbps lowering aircraft
AFDX Network
AFDX Network
AFDX system comprises the following components:
1. Avionics Subsystem: The traditional Avionics Subsystems on board an aircraft, such as the flight control computer, global positioning system, tire pressure monitoring system, etc.
An Avionics Computer System provides a computational environment for the Avionics Subsystems. Each Avionics Computer System contains an embedded End System that connects the Avionics Subsystems to an AFDX Interconnect.
AFDX Network
2. AFDX End System (End System): Provides an "interface" between the Avionics Subsystems and the AFDX Interconnect. Each Avionics Subsystem the End System interface to guarantee a secure and reliable data interchange with other Avionics Subsystems.
3. AFDX Interconnect: A full-duplex, switched Ethernet interconnect. It generally consists of a network of switches that forward Ethernet frames to their appropriate destinations
