Page 12: Section 1 - Omnia Family System Overview
FLYBOX ® Omnia Family System Overview OMNIA FAMILY SYSTEM OVERVIEW The Omnia57-80 instrument family has many innovative features, common to all models as described below. 1.1 CONSTRUCTION FEATURES Omnia instrument family is built from solid aluminum alloy, CNC milled and powder coated to last a long time over the years always showing a new appearance. -
Page 13: Interconnection Ability
FLYBOX ® Omnia Family System Overview 1.3 INTERCONNECTION ABILITY All the instruments of the Omnia family can be connected together via CAN1 to form a communication network, making some data exchange operations simpler. The software update of a Omnia instrument connected in group takes place through the CAN1 bus communication with the instrument that has the USB pen drive connected. -
Page 14: Easy Software Update
Easy logging of the data for debug purpose. If needed, each Omnia unit can save a last flight log on the USB pen drive. The user can then send the log via e-mail to Flybox support for a help/support request. -
Page 15: Interfaces
2 separate CAN BUS: CAN1 bus is used to connect the Omnia instruments together, CAN2 bus is used to interface them with other Flybox instruments or with external devices like Engines ECUs or new devices to be developed in the future. -
