1. INTEGRATED MODULAR AVIONICS (IMA) ATA 42

The Integrated Modular Avionic (IMA) provides computation, memory and Input/Output data processing resources, shared
between several avionics applications.
The Integrated Modular Avionic is mainly composed of the dual Core Avionic Cabinets (CAC 1&2).
The term CAC (Core Avionic Cabinet) designs the whole equipment composed of the rack and the set of cards.
In the basic configuration, each CAC is composed of:
– 1 CPM (Core Processing Module)
The CPMs provide shared memory and computation resources to execute hosted avionics applications.
– 1 IOM-S (Input/Output Module)
This IO Module is dedicated to provide ARINC and discrete I/O for all functions
– 1 IOM-AP (Input/Output Module)
This IO Module is dedicated to provide discrete and analog I/O for the Auto-Flight application.
– 2 IOM-DC (Input/Output Module)
The IOM-DC provide discrete and analog I/O for Data Concentration Application (DCA) .
– 1 SWM (gateway and SWitch Module)
This module is dedicated to connect together CPM and other Avionics Data Network subscribers.
The communication means is based on AFDX network, linking network subscribers through SWM.

The main applications hosted by the Core Avionic Cabinets are :

– Flight Warning (FWA)
– Auto-Flight (AFCA)
– Centralized Maintenance (CMA) (only on CAC 1)
– Data Concentration (DCA)

The CAC 1 & 2, communicate with five display units and systems through different data bus formats:
– AFDX: Avionics Full DupleX switched ethernet
– A429: ARINC 429
– Analogic
– Discretes

Two of the five displays units (DU2 and DU4) are dedicated to two other functions:
– Flight Management Application (FMA)
– Radio Management Application (RMA)
