Model FA5000 3. SYSTEM DESCRIPTION FA5000 CVR software processes incoming analog audio data to digital format and pro- vides large capacity digital memory storage. The software provides built-in test functionali- ty that automatically performs checks of the hardware and software to indicate whether the system is operating normally.
Model FA5000 Figure 3. CVR Block Diagram Figure 4 Recorder Data Flow Diagram shows the data flow diagram for the Model FA5000 CVR. The diagram shows the relationship between the hardware and the software. The FPGA conditions all of the input data and processes it into packets. Digitized audio data enters the FPGA and is transmitted to the processor via the TDM bus.
Page 45
All tasks will be able to communicate with the BITE task for the purpose of send- ing fault information and/or system status information. The user can interface to the Model FA5000 CVR in several different ways. All of the in- terfaces use an Ethernet network as the means for transferring data. The most common interface will be to a web server via an HTTP connection.
Connections Figure 4. Recorder Data Flow Diagram The Model FA5000 CVR contains a CSMU (non-volatile memory) that is used to store au- dio data, flight data, and DataLink messages. Since the memory size is finite, it is possi- ble for the memory to fill up with the information being stored. This situation will be han- dled by the Data Storage task that is responsible for writing the data to the CSMU.
This is used to coordinate which tasks are running at any giv- en time. The Model FA5000 CVR will be able to be loaded via the TCP/IP interface used by the GSE task. This task will report a checksum of the loaded code to ensure the integrity of the newly loaded software.

AVIATION PRODUCTS COMPONENT MAINTENANCE MANUAL Model FA5000 DataLink Task The DataLink task is used to process ARINC 429 data received from avionics equipment external to the recorder. Normally, the source of data is some type of Air Traffic Service Unit (ATSU). The DataLink task analyzes the data coming in from the ARINC 429 input port and decides which DataLink protocol is currently being used.

Model FA5000 7. THEORY OF OPERATION The theory of operation provided for the Model FA5000 CVR describes the function of the recorder both at the system level, PWA level and software operational level. System level theory of operation describes the general operation of the system as a whole. Refer to the Model FA5000 CVR System Block Diagram during the following discussion.
AVIATION PRODUCTS COMPONENT MAINTENANCE MANUAL Model FA5000 Aircraft Interface (AI) PWA The Aircraft Interface (AI) PWA mounts within the rear of the Cockpit Voice Recorder chassis and provides the interface between the aircraft and the Cockpit Voice Recorder’s CPU/Main Processor functions. The Aircraft Interface PWA also in- cludes the storage power supply and provides RF filtering and lightning protection for all input and output signals that interface with the aircraft.
Software Partitioning Software for the Model FA5000 CVR Solid State Flight Recorders will be partitioned into two parts. This is to accommodate the use of two DSPs. One DSP, called the Flight Data Processor (FDP), is responsible for the collection, processing, and for- warding of Data Link messages.
AVIATION PRODUCTS COMPONENT MAINTENANCE MANUAL Model FA5000 and Flash memory within the CSMU, that is used to store Data Link and audio data. Each DSP has a total of 10k words of built−in RAM. Each DSP has access to 64k of ROM for the executable program image.

AVIATION PRODUCTS COMPONENT MAINTENANCE MANUAL Model FA5000 already provided at A/C level (interlock devices monitored with the aircraft on− ground information and effective park brake locked), the CVR provides a timed inter- lock for erase. The erase starts by connecting CVR pin 55 to pin 57 for a minimum of 2 seconds and then connecting pin 55 to ground (pin17) before erasing the previ- ously recorded data.
AVIATION PRODUCTS COMPONENT MAINTENANCE MANUAL Model FA5000 The L−3AR Portable Interface/2, provides a means to download the Data Link mes- sage data at the CVR level so that an operator can easily and quickly download pre- viously recorded Data Link information without removing the recorder from its mount- ing.

AVIATION PRODUCTS COMPONENT MAINTENANCE MANUAL Model FA5000 If the RIPS is not present, then any reference to RIPS in the Interactive OMS output pages will be suppressed. However, in the case where the CVR is re- moved from an aircraft with RIPS and re−installed on an aircraft without RIPS, it is possible that previous flight leg RIPS fault information, stored in the CVR fault log while installed on the aircraft with RIPS, will be displayed.
AVIATION PRODUCTS COMPONENT MAINTENANCE MANUAL Model FA5000 As an additional capability, this CVR also monitors the status of an attached Recorder Independent Power Supply, if present, and includes that status with the OMS output reporting. The RIPS status is monitored using the CVR input pins listed in Table 1.2:...

CVR DATALINK INPUT INTERFACE The FA5000 CVR was developed specifically to satisfy recent requirements for Con- troller Pilot DataLink Communications (CPDLC or “DataLink”) recording in addition to the two hour audio recording capability. The DataLink recording function of the CVR is generally compatible with ARINC 429, ARINC 757/A, ARINC 758, and ARINC 619.

AVIATION PRODUCTS COMPONENT MAINTENANCE MANUAL Model FA5000 terface level and is unaffected by any link layer, or above, data content. This means that the CVR will record all 32 bits of each and every SAL 157 or 156 word received on the DataLink input.
Figure 21. Generic DataLink Message Encapsulation Structure As indicated in Section 1 above, the FA5000 DataLink CVR also includes an ARINC 429 OMS output interface (Pins 50/51) that provides a Label 350 CVR status word output once per second. This word, in its entirety, along with any DataLink Label 270 or 276 input status words are also recorded as part of the DataLink stream.
270 heartbeat is detected, and DataLink Valid (Pin 56) is not asserted. Williamsburg Bit−Oriented Protocol Version Support It should be noted that the FA5000 CVR does not currently support Williamsburg Version 1 protocol or a low speed ARINC 429 interface for input of DataLink informa- tion.
AVIATION PRODUCTS COMPONENT MAINTENANCE MANUAL Model FA5000 DataLink Memory Capacity The CVR is currently configured with 32 Mbytes of dedicated DataLink recording memory. This provides for a recording duration far in excess of the existing two hour requirement. DataLink Retrieval Recorded DataLink information is retrieved from the CVR in much the same way as audio data.
