CMCS
CMCS
On-Board Central Maintenance Computer System which is integrated into the Aircraft
System and System to collect and analyze maintenance information. The Central
Computer Maintenance System (CMCS) collects, consolidates, and reports Line
Replacement Unit (LRU) error data to assist aircraft crews and maintenance personnel
in maintenance procedures.
The Central Computer Maintenance System (CMCS) used includes a number of channels that
can be replaced by the Line Replacement Unit (LRU), a communication system where the LRU
can send fault initiation commands and LRU receiver initiation commands, and operator
interface devices to receive input commands, display data and communicate with another system.
The central computer maintenance system includes
➽ Memory Devices
During flight, the control processing system controls the collection of LRU error data;
Generate errors isolated from LRU error data. Associate isolated errors with care
messages stored in memory; , Causes maintenance messages to be active
maintenance messages in the history of errors / damage
That is not true. If the CMC is malfunctioning, you can find yourself without a DU,
graphics, or other normal operating system. Aimed at maintenance personnel, but pilots
need to understand it unless they have never flown without a mechanic.
Intended for maintenance personnel and gives one point access to all systems.
initiates test mode for member systems and displays real-time error status.
➽ CMC operates using Windows technology. As with other Windows products, there is
a power up period of two minutes before it will be available for use after the aircraft was
initially turned on.
➽ At shutdown, the same applies. The CMC must have two minutes of power to turn off
its function. To achieve this, the CMC will use the Left Emergency Battery located at
LEER to gain power to complete the shutdown cycle after aircraft power is secured
(Figure 45-4). The power source is the direct path from the L E-Batt to the CMC
SHUTDOWN POWER (LEER H6) circuit breaker, to the front connector of the CMC
module.
➽ I have heard of a crew pulling the circuit breaker on E-Batts with the idea that they
save on internal hours which requires that the E-Batt be replaced after hours of a
lifetime. As far as I know, there is no such internal clock. But if you insist on doing this,
you need to make sure the CMC has at least two minutes to turn it off.
➽ With this design, it is very important not to remove the L E-Batt or remove the front
panel breaker, or have a "CMC SHUTDOWN POWER" circuit breaker that is pulled
during a power down cycle. If this happens, the possibility of data corruption or CMC
can be "locked" and not available to the operator. This condition will require the CMC to
be repaired by a Honeywell repair facility.
