The EICAS system's ED 1 and ED 2 are powered by the Battery BUS. It utilizes Data Concentrator Units (DCUs) to gather and distribute data, providing real-time alerts and system status to pilots. In case of DCU failure, the remaining unit continues to operate, but critical data may be lost if both fail.
