Aerospace series - Modular and Open Avionics Architectures - Part 004: Packaging

The purpose of this standard is to establish uniform requirements for Packaging for the Common Functional Modules (CFM) within an Integrated Modular Avionic (IMA) system, as defined per ASAAC. It comprises the module physical properties and the Module Physical Interface (MPI) definitions together with guidelines for IMA rack and the operational environment.
The characteristics addressed by the Packaging Standard are:
a)   Interchangeability:
1)   For a given cooling method all modules conforming to the packaging standard will function correctly when inserted into any rack slot conforming to the standard for the cooling method.
2)   All modules conforming to the Module Physical Interface (MPI) definitions for connector, IED and cooling interface will function correctly when inserted into any rack slot conforming to the same MPI definition.
b)   Maintainability:
1)   All modules are easily removable at first line.
2)   No special tools required at first line.
3)   No manual adjustment is necessary when installing modules. No tool is required for installation or removal of the modules.
4)   Mechanical keying is provided that prevents insertion of a module into a rack slot that may cause an unsafe condition.
The Module Physical Interface definition, contained within this standard, does not include the properties of the signalling used in the optical interface (e.g. wavelength). These are covered in EN 4660-003.

Luft- und Raumfahrt - Modulare und offene Avionikarchitekturen - Teil 004: Paketierung

Zweck der vorliegenden Norm ist die Festlegung einheitlicher Anforderungen an die Paketierung der Stan-dardfunktionsmodule (CFM) innerhalb eines IMA-Systems entsprechend der ASAAC-Definition. Dieses Dokument umfasst die physikalischen Moduleigenschaften und die physikalische Modulschnittstelle (MPI) und gibt Empfehlungen für das IMA-Gestell und die Betriebsumgebung. Die behandelten Paketierungsmerkmale sind: Austauschbarkeit: ⎯ Bei einem gegebenen Kühlverfahren funktionieren alle Module nach der vorliegenden Norm ordnungs-gemäß, wenn sie in einen beliebigen Gestellsteckplatz eingesetzt sind, der den Vorgaben für das Kühlver-fahren entspricht; ⎯ Alle den MPI-Definitionen für Steckverbinder, IED und Kühlschnittstelle entsprechenden Module funktio-nieren ordnungsgemäß, wenn sie in einen beliebigen Gestellsteckplatz eingesetzt sind, der derselben MPI-Definition entspricht. Wartbarkeit: ⎯ Alle Module sind vor Ort leicht auszubauen. ⎯ Vor Ort sind keine speziellen Werkzeuge erforderlich. ⎯ Beim Einbau von Modulen ist keine manuelle Anpassung notwendig. Zum Ein- und Ausbau der Module ist kein Werkzeug erforderlich. ⎯ Es ist eine mechanische Sicherung vorgesehen, die verhindert, dass das Modul in einen Steckplatz ein-gesetzt wird, der einen unsicheren Zustand bewirken könnte. Die in dieser Norm enthaltene Definition der physikalischen Modulschnittstelle umfasst nicht die Signalisie-rungseigenschaften der optischen Schnittstelle (z. B. Wellenlänge). Diese sind in EN 4660-003 behandelt.

Le but de la présente norme est d'établir des exigences uniformes pour le Packaging relative aux Modules Fonctionnels Communs (CFM) dans le cadre d'un système avionique modulaire intégré (IMA) tel que défini par l'ASAAC. Il comprend les propriétés physiques de modules et les définitions de l'interface physique des modules (MPI) conjointement avec les lignes directrices pour rack IMA et l'environnement opérationnel
Les caractéristiques traitées par la norme pour le Packaging sont :
Interchangeabilité :
- Pour une méthode de refroidissement donnée, tous les modules conformes à la norme pour le packaging fonctionneront correctement après insertion dans une fente de rack conforme à la norme de la méthode de refroidissement.
- Tous les modules conformes aux définitions de l'interface physique du module (MPI) pour le connecteur, l'IED et l'interface de refroidissement fonctionneront correctement après insertion dans une fente de rack conforme à la même définition de la MPI.
Maintenabilité :
- Tous les modules doivent être facilement démontables en première ligne.
- Aucun outil spécial n’est exigé en première ligne.
- Aucun réglage manuel n'est nécessaire lors de l'installation des modules. Aucun outil n'est exigé pour l'installation ou la dépose des modules.
- Une manipulation mécanique est prévue de façon à empêcher l'insertion d'un module dans une fente de rack susceptible de provoquer une situation dangereuse.
La définition de l'interface physique de modules incluse dans la présente norme ne comprend pas les propriétés de signalisation utilisées dans l'interface optique (par exemple, longueur d'onde). Celles-ci sont couvertes dans l'EN 4660-003.

Aeronavtika - Modularne in odprte letalske elektronske arhitekture - 004. del: Pakiranje

Namen tega standarda je vzpostaviti enotne zahteve za pakiranje splošnih funkcionalnih modulov (CFM) znotraj integriranega modularnega letalskega (IMA) sistema, kot je določeno z ASAAC. Obsega fizične lastnosti modula in definicije fizičnega vmesnika modula (MPI), skupaj s smernicami za stojalo IMA in delovno okolje.
Značilnosti, obravnavane v standardu za pakiranje, so:
a) zamenljivost:
1) Za dano metodo hlajenja bodo vsi moduli, ki so v skladu s standardom za pakiranje, delovali pravilno, če bodo vstavljeni v katero koli odprtino stojala, ki je v skladu s standardom za metodo hlajenja.
2) Vsi moduli, ki so v skladu z definicijami konektorja fizičnega vmesnika modula (MPI), IED in hladilne vmesnike, bodo delovali pravilno, če bodo vstavljeni v kakršno koli odprtino stojala, ki je v skladu z isto definicijo MPI.
b) Vzdrževalno-tehnične zahteve:
1) Vsi moduli se zlahka odstranijo pri prvi liniji.
2) Ni potrebno posebno orodje pri prvi liniji.
3) Ni potrebna ročna prilagoditev pri vgradnji modulov. Nobeno orodje ni potrebno pri vgradnji ali odstranitvi modulov.
4) Zagotovljeno je mehansko odpiranje, ki preprečuje vstavitev modula v odprtino stojala, kar lahko povzroči nevarne pogoje.
Definicija fizičnega vmesnika modula, ki jo vključuje ta standard, ne vključuje lastnosti signalizacije, uporabljenih pri optičnem vmesniku (npr. valovna dolžina). Ti so zajeti v EN 4660-003.

The purpose of the ASAAC Programme is to define and validate a set of open architecture standards, concepts and guidelines for Advanced Avionics Architectures (A3) in order to meet the three main ASAAC drivers. The standards, concepts and guidelines produced by the Programme are to be applicable to both new aircraft and update programmes from 2005. The three main goals for the ASAAC Programme are: 1.
Reduced life cycle costs. 2.
Improved mission performance. 3.
Improved operational performance. The ASAAC standards are organised as a set of documents including: A set of agreed standards that describe, using a top down approach, the Architecture overview to all interfaces required to implement the core within avionics system. The guidelines for system implementation through application of the standards. The document hierarchy is given hereafter: (in this figure the document is highlighted)

EN 4660-004:2011 (E) 12 The ASAAC Common Functional Module supports four cooling techniques detailed in 4.5. These being:  Conduction Cooling (CC).  Direct Air Flow Cooling (DAF).  Air Flow Around Cooling (AFA).  Air Flow Through Cooling (AFT). This clause specifies those parameters that shall apply to all module types. In addition, Guidelines for the Module guide to rack slot interfaces compatible with the MPI is provided in Clause 6. It is assumed that a System Design Specification will be raised for each specific project implementation. It will define the CFM characteristics which are not imposed by the standard. 4.2 Module description A module consists of an enclosed component mounting area, a connector and an insertion extraction device. The module shall have the following attributes:  Provision for the protection of electronic devices, contained within the CFM, from the typical environment requirements identified in the Clause 7, both during use and during handling, storage and transportation,  Provision for a connector which mates with the backplane assembly and provides all power and data links to the rest of the avionics system,
 Provision for a keying method to positively bulk the incorrect insertion of any CFM into a rack and to ensure that an incorrectly fitted CFM shall be prevented from making any electrical connection,  Provision for a mechanism that retains the module within the rack under the mechanical and environmental conditions specified herein and yet allows for easy insertion and removal of the module,  Provision for a cooling interface that provides for the removal of heat from the CFM,  Provision for easy identification. 4.3 Module Physical Specification 4.3.1 Module envelope: height, length, width The module envelope comprises the IED, the cassette and the connector.
