Flight Control Computer FCC


All Flight Control Computer are developed individually according to the customers wishes and requirements. The following list shows models which are available of the shelf. Based on these systems we can realise changes within short time periods.


New Generation Flight Control Computer – NFCC1000


Use case of the NFCC1000 is early development and prototyping where maximum interface flexibility is required.
Migration is possible to a custom FCC design with only required interfaces in an optimized form factor.
Extension boards can be used as standalone DCU as well, either as a separate device (NDCU) or as part of
the NFCC with only shared power supply infrastructure.

Standard processing element uses a QorIQ T1024 PowerPC processor from NXP (the second core is
usually disabled on the software side).

 

Options exist for upgrade to T1042 quadcore processor or ARM based processors from the NXP
Layerscape family, e.g. LS1043A.

 

Each extension board has its own Cortex  M0/M3/M4/M7 or PowerPC microcontroller, making it a builtin DCU with Ethernet uplink.

Flight Control Computer – FCC 9300


The Flight Control Computer establishes a high-performance computing platform, with the capability of high performance communication over multiple interfaces at the same time. For a higher level of safety involvement, a command and monitor architecture was implemented.

The main processing platform consists of a Microsys MPX-8349 computing module introducing a Freescale MPC8349E @533 MHz microprocessor, with 256 MB DDR-SDRAM and 128 MB Flash-Memory.

 

To achieve high bandwidth communication, the main processing module is accompanied by two ST Microelectronics STM32F107VC microcontrollers with multiple peripherals. The micro-controllers run at 72 MHz speed and provide 64 KB SDRAM and 256 KB of flash-memory.

System interfaces:

  • Power
  • CAN
  • RS-232
  • RS-422 / 485
  • Discrete inputs
  • Discrete outputs
  • Analogue inputs
  • ARINC 429 inputs
  • ARINC 429 outputs
