摘要:
A plurality of modular equipment centers (MECs) spatially distributed throughout a vehicle servicing equipment loads. Each MEC independently provides localized power and communication to service the equipment loads and each equipment load is serviced by the nearest MEC. In at least one embodiment, only primary power is distributed across section breaks of the vehicle to minimize the number of connections between section breaks, reduce overall vehicle weight, and to increase vehicle build rate.

A pin-configurable bus termination system may include a bus connector attached to an end of a bus. The bus connector may be configured for electrically connecting the bus to an input connector of a node. The node may include a bus termination resistance. The bus connector may include a first bus output pin, a second bus output pin and configurable first and second termination resistor pins. The configurable first and second termination resistor pins may be configurable to provide a first termination configuration and a second termination configuration. The first termination configuration may electrically interconnect the first and second bus output pins and the configurable first and second termination resistor pins to electrically connect the bus termination resistance for terminating the bus. The second termination configuration may include an open electrical circuit between the first and second bus output pins and the configurable first and second termination resistor pins.
摘要:
Systems, methods, apparatus (100), and articles of manufacture are disclosed to generate an integrated modular architecture (IMA) model. An example apparatus (100) includes an interface importer (430) to import first IMA protocol definitions (540) into a computer modeling environment to generate libraries (550) and generate IMA model objects (780), a model object handler (450) to import ones of IMA model objects (780) into the computer modeling environment to generate a first IMA model (704) corresponding to an aircraft system (106) of an aircraft (108) and generate an IMA system model (754) corresponding to the aircraft (108) by generating IMA models (702) including the first IMA model (704). The example apparatus (100) further includes an interface validator (480) to validate the IMA system model (754) by comparing an output of the IMA system model (754) to a validation output, an interface exporter (440) to generate manufacturing build instructions (124) of the aircraft system (106) when the IMA system model (754) is validated, and a report generator (490) to initiate production of the aircraft system (106).
