Afdx & HSDB (A3)

Avionics refers to all electronic and electromechanical systems installed on an aircraft. It provides a medium for exchanging data between subsystems and integrating them. Ethernet is becoming an increasingly important protocol for connecting avionics subsystems due to benefits like higher bandwidth, reduced wiring, and fault isolation. While MIL-STD-1553 is commonly used, Ethernet and other protocols like ARINC 429 are gaining popularity for their advantages in modern aircraft and spacecraft designs.

DEFINITION

AVIONICS
Avionics : Aviation Electronics
Avionics : All electronic and electromechanical
systems and subsystems (hardware and software)
installed in an aircraft or attached to it.
(MIL-1553A)

Avionics has become an equal partner and is


surpassing aircraft structures and propulsion in
terms of cost and its mission effectiveness of modern
aircraft
# It provides a medium for the exchange of
data and information between various
Avionics subsystems

# Integration of Avionics subsystems in


military or civil aircraft and spacecraft.
Avionics Fully Duplex Switched Ethernet
is an advanced Protocol Standard to
interconnect avionics subsystems

It can accommodate future system


bandwidth demands

Increase flexibility in Avionics design

Reduce aircraft wire counts, thus


lowering aircraft weight and cost

Its first major use in A3xx


• Since the Ethernet is a switched
architecture rather than a point-point link,
aircraft designers can create redundant
sub networks

• Faults can be isolated and analysed


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
• Used in F-22 Advanced tactical fighter
• Generic version SAE Aerospace Standard 4074.1
• 50 Mbps- linear bus
• for optical medium implementation – star topology
• HSDB uses distributed control in which each
terminal is permitted to transmit only when it
receives the token frame.

Though 1553B is used in various modern
aircraft, it is recognised that buses operate
in extremly severe environment like
EMI from intersystem and intrasystem
Lightning
Electrostatic discharge
High Altitude Electromagnetic pulse
Fiber-optic version of 1553B
It also operates at the rate of 1Mbps
It also have the same 20 bit word and three
words such as command word, status word
and data word
stronger immunity to radiation-induced
electromagnetic interference
