FOREWORD

Activities of AERONAUTICAL RADIO, INC. (ARINC)

and the

Purpose of ARINC Reports and Specifications

Aeronautical Radio, Inc. is a corporation in which the United States scheduled airlines are theprincipal stockholders. Other stockholders include a variety of other air transport companies, aircraftmanufacturers and non-U.S. airlines.

Activities of ARINC include the operation of an extensive system of domestic and overseasaeronautical land radio stations, the fulfillment of systems requirements to accomplish ground andairborne compatibility, the allocation and assignment of frequencies to meet those needs, thecoordination incident to standard airborne communications and electronics systems and the exchangeof technical information. ARINC sponsors the Airlines Electronic Engineering Committee (AEEC),composed of airline technical personnel. The AEEC formulates standards for electronic equipmentand systems for the airlines. The establishment of Equipment Characteristics is a principal function ofthis Committee.

It is desirable to reference certain general ARINC Specifications or Report which areapplicable to more than one type of equipment. These general Specifications and Reports may beconsidered as supplementary to the Equipment Characteristics in which they are referenced. They areintended to set forth the desires of the airlines pertaining to components and general design,construction and test criteria, in order to insure satisfactory operation and the necessaryinterchangeability in airline service. The release of a Specification or Equipment Characteristicsshould not be construed to obligate ARINC or any airline insofar as the purchase of any components orequipment is concerned.

An ARINC Report ( Specification or Characteristic) has a twofold purpose, which is:

(1) To indicate to the prospective manufacturers of airline electronic equipment theconsidered opinion of the airline technical people, coordinated on an industry basis,concerning requisites of new equipment, and

(2) To channel new equipment designs in a direction which can result in the maximumpossible standardization of those physical and electrical characteristics which influenceinterchangeability of equipment without seriously hampering engineering initiative.

ARINC SPECIFICATION 429, PART 1 - Page 1

1.0 INTRODUCTION

1.1 Purpose of this Document

This document defines the air transport industry’s standardsfor the transfer of digital data between avionics systemselements. Adherence to these standards is desired for allinter-systems communications in which the system linereplaceable units are defined as unit interchangeable in therelevant ARINC characteristics. Their use for intra-systemcommunications in systems in which the line replaceableunits are defined in the ARINC characteristics as systeminterchangeable is not essential, although it may beconvenient.

1.2 Organization of ARINC Specification 429

ARINC Specification 429 was originally published in asingle volume through version 14 (429-14). The size of thedocument and the need for improved organization dictatedthe division of the document into three parts. Those threeparts include:

Part 1 Functional Description, Electrical Interface, LabelAssignments and Word Formats

Part 2 Discrete Word Data Formats

Part 3 File Data Transfer Techniques

Part 1 provides the basic description of the functions andthe supporting physical and electrical interfaces for the datatransfer system. Data word formats, standard label andaddress assignments, and application examples are defined.Part 2 lists discrete word bit assignments in label order. Part3 describes protocols and message definitions for datatransferred in large blocks and/or file format. Forconvenience of the user, the section and attachmentnumbering has been retained for the material moved fromthe original Specification to Part 3.

Updates to each part of future releases of ARINC 429 willbe independent of the other parts to accommodate timelyrevisions as industry needs dictate. The dash numbers foreach Part will NOT be synchronized with the other Parts astime passes. Users of ARINC Specification 429 shouldensure that the latest version of each Part is used whendesigning or procuring equipment.

1.3 Relationship to ARINC Specification 419

ARINC Specification 419, “Digital Data SystemCompendium”, is a catalog of the elements of the severaldigital data transmission systems that have foundapplication during the “emergent” period of digital avionicstechnology. The maturing of this technology, now evidentin the scope of its planned use on aircraft of the 1980s andbeyond, has shown the need for a generally applicabledigital information transfer system having capabilities notprovided by any combination of the elements presentlydefined in Specification 419. In defining such a system, thisdocument draws on the experience gained in the preparationof Specification 419 but is otherwise separate and distinctfrom it. Addition of the element specifications of thesystem defined herein to the Specification 419 catalog is notanticipated.

1.4 “Mark 33 Digital Information Transfer System” - Basic Philosophy

This “Mark 33 Digital Information Transfer System(DITS)” specification describes a system in which anavionics system element having information to transmitdoes so from a designated output port over a single twistedand shielded pair of wires to all other system elementshaving need of that information. Bi-directional data flow ona given twisted and shielded pair of wires is not permitted.

1.4.1 Numeric Data Transfer

The Mark 33 DITS numeric data transmissioncharacteristics have been developed from those ofsuccessful predecessor air transport industry digitalinformation transfer systems. Data for transmission,encoded in either twos complement fractional binarynotation or binary coded decimal notation, is supplied fromsource systems at rates sufficiently high to ensure smallincremental value changes between updates. Transmissionis made “open loop”, i.e., sinks are not required to informsources that information has been received. A parity bit istransmitted as part of each data word to permit simple errorchecks to be performed by the sinks. These, together withdata reasonableness checks which may also be performedby the sinks, may be used to prevent the display or otherutilization of a erroneous or suspect word. The inherentlyhigh integrity of the twisted and shielded wire transmissionmedium ensures that such drop-outs are few. The low ratesof change of the data ensure that when one does occur, it isof no consequence.

1.4.2 ISO Alphabet No. 5 Data Transfer

In addition to the transfer of BNR and BCD numeric data asjust described, the Mark 33 DITS handles alpha andnumeric data encoded per ISO Alphabet No. 5. The same“broadcast” transmission philosophy is used, although the“housekeeping” aspects of system operation differ in orderto accommodate particular needs associated with this typeof data. These differences will be addressed individually inthis document as they arise.

1.4.3 Graphic Data Transfer

A third type of data which may eventually be handled by theMark 33 DITS is graphic data, i.e., the lines, circles,randomly positioned alpha/numeric text and other symbolsused on CRT map and similar displays. The techniqueemployed for this purpose can be basically similar to thatused for ISO Alphabet No. 5 alpha/numeric data transfer.However, because a need for graphic data handlingcapability has not yet emerged, the air transport industry hasdecided not to be specific concerning this technique for themoment. When the need for graphic data handling isestablished, appropriate specification material will bedeveloped.

2.0 DIGITAL INFORMATION TRANSFER SYSTEM STANDARDS

2.1 Message Related Elements

This section describes the digital data transfer systemelements considered to be principally related to the messageitself or the manner in which it is handled.

2.1.1 Direction of Information Flow

The information output of an avionics system elementshould be transmitted from a designated port (or ports) towhich the receiving ports of other system elements in needof that information are connected. In no case doesinformation flow into a port designated for transmission.

COMMENTARY

A separate data bus (twisted and shielded pair of wiresper Section 2.2.1) for each direction is used when datais required to flow both ways between two avionicssystems elements.

2.1.2 Information Element

The basic information element is a digital word containing32 bits. There are five application groups for such words,BNR data, BCD data, Discrete data, Maintenance data(general) and Acknowledgement, ISO Alphabet No. 5 andMaintenance (ISO Alphabet No. 5) data (AIM). Wordformats for these different applications are depicted inAttachment 6 while the relevant data handling rules are setforth in Section 2.3.1. When less than the full data field isneeded to accommodate the information conveyed in aword in the desired manner, the unused bit positions shouldbe filled with binary zeros or, in the case of BNR/BCDnumeric data, valid data bits. If valid data bits are used, theresolution possible for the information may exceed thatcalled for in this Specification. The Commentary followingSection 2.1.6 of this document refers.

COMMENTARY

To permit the use of identical error-checking hardwareelements in the handling of BNR and BCD numericdata words, the format for the Mark 33 DITS BCDword differs from that used formerly for this type ofdata. Bit No. 32 is assigned to parity, Bit Nos. 31 and30 to the sign/status matrix, Bit No. 29 is the mostsignificant bit of the data field, and the maximumdecimal value of the most significant character is 7.Previously, the BCD word contained no parity bit, thesign/status matrix occupied Bit Nos. 32 and 31, BitNo. 30 was the most significant data bit and themaximum decimal value of the most significantcharacter was 3. This format made the word 8-bit byteoriented with respect to the data. This characteristic isnot retained in the Mark 33 system.

Also, latitude and longitude can only be encoded in theMark 33 DITS word with the formerly specifiedresolution of 0.1 minute of arc if Bit Nos. 9 and 10 areused for data rather than the SDI function described inSection 2.1.4 of this document, and the word isstructured differently from the standard shown inAttachment 6. Restructuring the word involveslimiting the maximum value of the most significantcharacter to 1 and moving the remaining BCDcharacters towards the MSB by two bit positions. It is

possible, however, that future latitude and longitudedisplays will not be the simple, dedicated read-out typefor which BCD data is intended. More likely is the useof some form of multiple-message display, such as aCRT, which will be backed by its own data processorand prefer inputs of BNR data. If this proves to be thecase, these special provisions for BCD-encoding willnot be required.

2.1.3 Information Identifier

The type of information contained in a word is identified bya six-character label. The first three characters are octalcharacters coded in binary in the first eight bits of the word.The eight bits will:

a. identify the information contained within BNR andBCD numeric data words (e.g., DME distance, staticair temperature, etc.) and

b. identify the word application for Discrete, Maintenanceand AIM data.

The last three characters of the six-character label arehexadecimal characters used to provide for identification ofARINC 429 bus sources. Each triplet of hexadecimalcharacters identifies a “black box” with one or more DITSports. Each three character code (and black box) may haveup to 255 eight bit labels assigned to it. The code is usedadministratively to retain distinction between unlikeparameters having like labels assignments.

COMMENTARY

Some users have expressed a desire to have means foridentifying label sets and buses associated with aparticular equipment ID code. Octal label 377 hasbeen assigned for this purpose. (The code appears inthe 3 LSDs of the BCD Word format). Thetransmission of the equipment identifier word on a buswill permit receivers attached to the bus to recognizethe source of the DITS information. Since thetransmission of the equipment identifier word isoptional, receivers should not depend on that word forcorrect operation.

Label code assignments are set forth in Attachment 1 tothis document.

Special Note:

In some ARINC 429 DITS applications, a bus will bededicated to delivering a single information element from asource to one or more identical sink devices. In suchcircumstances, the sink device designer might be tempted toassume that decoding the word label is not necessary. Experience has shown, however, that system developmentsfrequently occur that result in the need for additionalinformation elements to appear on the bus. If a sink devicedesigned for service prior to such a development cannotdecode the original word label, it cannot differentiatebetween this word and the new data in the new situation. The message for sink designers should therefore be quiteclear - provide label decoding from the outset, no matterhow strong the temptation to omit it might be.

2.0 DIGITAL INFORMATION TRANSFER SYSTEM STANDARDS

COMMENTARY

Adherence to the label code assignments ofAttachment 1 is essential in inter-systemcommunications and in intra-system communicationswhere the system elements are defined as “unitinterchangeable” per ARINC Report 403. Theassignment of label codes for all such communicationsmust be coordinated with the air transport industry ifchaos is to be avoided. A manufacturer who finds thatAttachment 1 does not specify the label he needs forsuch system application must not simply choose onefrom those unassigned and “drive on”. He shouldcontact AEEC Staff for assistance.

2.1.4 Source/Destination Identifier

Bit Nos. 9 and 10 of numeric data words should be reservedfor a data source/destination identification function. Theyare not available for this function in alpha/numeric (ISOAlphabet No. 5) data words (see Section 2.3.1.3 of thisdocument) or when the resolution needed for numeric(BNR/BCD) data necessitates their use of valid data. Thesource/destination identifier function may find applicationwhen specific words need to be directed to a specific systemof a multi-system installation or when the source system ofa multi-system installation needs to be recognizable fromthe word content. When it is used, a source equipmentshould encode its aircraft installation number in Bit Nos. 9and 10 as shown in the table below. A sink equipmentshould recognize words containing its own installationnumber code and words containing code “00”, the “all-call”code.

COMMENTARY

Equipment will fall into the categories of source only,sink only, or both source and sink. Use of the SDI bitsby equipment functioning only as a source or only as asink is described above. Both the source and sink textsabove are applicable to equipment functioning as botha source and a sink. Such equipment should recognizethe SDI bits on the inputs and should also encode theSDI bits, as applicable, on the outputs. DME, VOR,ILS and other sensors, are examples of source and sinkequipment generally considered to be only sourceequipment. These are actually sinks for their owncontrol panels. Many other types of equipment are alsomisconstrued as source only or sink only. A simplerule of thumb is: if a unit has a 429 input port and a429 output port, it is a source and sink! With theincrease of equipment consolidation, e.g., centralizedcontrol panels, the correct use of the SDI bits cannot beoverstressed.

See Note Below123

Note: In certain specialized applications of the SDIfunction the all-call capability may be forfeited so thatcode “00” is available as an “installation no. 4” identifier.

When the SDI function is not used, binary zeros or validdata should be transmitted in Bit Nos. 9 and 10.

COMMENTARY

This document does not address the practical questionof how the SDI bits will be set in those multi-installation systems in which the source/destinationfunction is desired. One way would be to use programpins on the individual installation black boxes whichwould be wired to set up the appropriate code. TheARINC Characteristics devoted to the individualsystems will define the method actually to be used.

2.1.5 Sign/Status Matrix

This section describes the coding of the Sign/Status Matrix(SSM) field. In all cases the SSM field uses Bits 30 and 31.For BNR data words, the SSM field also includes Bit 29.

The SSM field may be used to report hardware equipmentcondition (fault/normal), operational mode (functional test),or validity of data word content (verified/no computeddata).

The following definitions apply in this Specification:

Invalid Data - is defined as any data generated by a sourcesystem whose fundamental characteristic is the inability toconvey reliable information for the proper performance of auser system. There are two categories of invalid data,namely, “No Computed Data” and “Failure Warning”.

No Computed Data - is a particular case of data invaliditywhere the source system is unable to compute reliable datafor reasons other than system failure. This inability tocompute reliable data is caused exclusively by a definite setof events or conditions whose boundaries are uniquelydefined in the system characteristic.

Failure Warning - is a particular case of data invaliditywhere the system monitors have detected one or morefailures. These failures are uniquely characterized byboundaries defined in the system characteristic.

The system indicators should always be flagged during a“Failure Warning” condition.

When a “No Computed Data” condition exists, the sourcesystem should annunciate its outputs to be invalid by settingthe sign/status matrix of the affected words to the “NoComputed Data” code, as defined in the subsections whichfollow. The system indicators may or may not be flagged,depending on system requirements.

While the unit is in the functional test mode, all output datawords generated within the unit (i.e., pass through words areexcluded) should be coded for “Functional Test”. Passthrough data words are those words received by the unit andretransmitted without alteration.

When the SSM code is used to transmit status and morethan one reportable condition exists, the condition with thehighest priority should be encoded in Bit Nos. 30 and 31.The order of condition priorities to be used is shown in thetable below.

2.1.5 Sign/Status Matrix (cont’d)

Failure WarningNo Computed DataFunctional TestNormal Operation

Priority 1Priority 2Priority 3Priority 4

Each data word type has its own unique utilization of theSSM field. These various formats are described in thefollowing subsections.

2.1.5.1 BCD Numeric

When a failure is detected within a system which wouldcause one or more of the words normally output by thatsystem to be unreliable, the system should stop transmittingthe affected word or words on the data bus.

Some avionic systems are capable of detecting a faultcondition which results in less than normal accuracy. Inthese systems, when a fault of this nature (for instance,partial sensor loss) which results in degraded accuracy isdetected, each unreliable BCD digit should be encoded“1111” when transmitted on the data bus. For equipmentshaving a display, the “1111” code should, when received,be recognized as representing an inaccurate digit and a“dash” or equivalent symbol should be displayed in place ofthe inaccurate digit. Parameters for which such a degradedmode of operation is possible are identified in the Notecolumn of the tables in Attachment 2.

The sign (plus/minus, north/south, etc.) of BCD NumericData should be encoded in bit numbers 30 and 31 of theword as shown in the table below. Bit Nos. 30 and 31 ofBCD Numeric Data words should be “zero” where no signis needed.

The “No Computed Data” code should be annunciated inthe affected BCD Numeric Data word(s) when a sourcesystem is unable to compute reliable data for reasons otherthan system failure.

When the “Functional Test” code appears in Bits 30 and 31of an instruction input data word, it should be interpreted asa command to perform a functional test.

COMMENTARY

A typical instruction input to a radio, for example,would be a channel change command word. When thiscommand word is received with the “Functional Test”coding in the SSM field, the radio should exercise itsfunctional test.

When the “Functional Test” code appears as a systemoutput, it should be interpreted as advice that the data in theBCD Numeric Data word contents are the result of theexecution of a functional test. A functional test shouldproduce indications of 1/8 of positive full-scale valuesunless indicated otherwise in the associated ARINCEquipment Characteristic.

2.1.5.2 BNR Numeric Data Words

The status of the transmitter hardware should be encoded inthe Status Matrix field (Bit Nos. 30 and 31) of BNRNumeric Data words as shown in the table below.

A source system should annunciate any detected failure thatcauses one or more of the words normally output by thatsystem to be unreliable by setting Bit Nos. 30 and 31 in theaffected word(s) to the “Failure Warning” code defined inthe table below. Words containing this code shouldcontinue to be supplied to the data bus during the failurecondition.

The “No Computed Data” code should be annunciated inthe affected BNR Numeric Data word(s) when a sourcesystem is unable to compute reliable data for reasons otherthan system failure.

When it appears as a system output, the “Functional Test”code should be interpreted as advice that the data in theword results from the execution of a functional test. Afunctional test should produce indications of 1/8 of positivefull-scale values unless indicated otherwise in an ARINCequipment characteristic.

If, during the execution of a functional test, a source systemdetects a failure which causes one or more of the wordsnormally output by that system to be unreliable, it shouldimmediately change the states of Bit Nos. 30 and 31 in theaffected words such that the “Functional Test” annunciationis replaced with “Failure Warning” annunciation.

Some avionic systems are capable of detecting a faultcondition which results in less than normal accuracy. Inthese systems, when a fault of this nature (for instance,partial sensor loss) which results in degraded accuracy isdetected, the equipment should continue to report “Normal”for the sign status matrix while indicating the degradedperformance by coding bit 11 as follows:

This implies that degraded accuracy can be coded only inBNR words not exceeding 17 bits of data. Parameters forwhich such a degraded mode of operation is possible areidentified in the notes column of the tables in Attachment 2.

2.1.5.3 Discrete Data Words

A source system should annunciate any detected failure thatcould cause one or more of the words normally output bythat system to be unreliable. Three methods are defined.The first method is to set Bit Nos. 30 and 31 in the affectedword(s) to the “Failure Warning” code defined in the tablebelow. Words containing the “Failure Warning” codeshould continue to be supplied to the data bus during thefailure condition. When using the second method, theequipment may stop transmitting the affected word or wordson the data bus. Designers should use this method when thedisplay or use of the discrete data by a system isundesirable. The third method applies to data words whichare defined such that they contain failure information withinthe data field. For these applications, refer to the associatedARINC equipment characteristic to determine proper SSMreporting. Designers should preclude mixing operationaland BITE data in the same word.

The “No Computed Data” code should be annunciated inthe affected Discrete Data word(s) when a source system isunable to compute reliable data for reasons other thansystem failure.

When the “Functional Test” code appears as a systemoutput, it should be interpreted as advice that the data in theDiscrete Data word contents are the result of the executionof a functional test.

2.1.6 Data Standards

The units, ranges, resolutions, refresh rates, number ofsignificant bits, pad bits, etc. for the items of information tobe transferred by the Mark 33 DITS are tabulated inAttachment 2 to this document.

COMMENTARY

Note that Section 2.3.1.1 of this document calls fornumeric data to be encoded in BCD and binary, thelatter using twos complement fractional notation. Inthis notation, the most significant bit of the data fieldrepresents one half of the maximum value chosen forthe parameter being defined. Successive bits representthe increments of a binary fraction series. Negativenumbers are encoded as the twos complements ofpositive value and the negative sign is annunciated inthe sign/status matrix.

In establishing a given parameter’s binary datastandards for inclusion in Attachment 2, the unitsmaximum value and resolution are first determined inthat order. The least significant bit of the word is thengiven a value equal to the resolution increment, and thenumber of significant bits is chosen such that themaximum value of the fractional binary series justexceeds the maximum value of the parameter, i.e.,equals the next whole binary number greater than themaximum parameter value less one least significant bitvalue. For example, if the Mark 33 DITS is required totransfer altitude in units of feet over a range of zero to100,000 feet with a resolution of one foot, the numberof significant bits is 17 and the maximum value of thefractional binary series is 131,071 (i.e., 131,072 - 1).

Note that because accuracy is a quality of themeasurement process and not the data transfer process,it plays no part in the selection of word characteristics.Obviously, the resolution provided in the DITS wordshould equal or exceed the accuracy in order not todegrade it.

For the binary representation of angular data, the Mark33 DITS employs “degrees divided by 180o” as theunit of data transfer and ±1 (semicircle) as the rangefor twos complement fractional notation encoding(ignoring, for the moment, the subtraction of the leastsignificant bit value). Thus the angular range 0through 359.XXX degrees is encoded as 0 through±179.XXX degrees, the value of the most significantbit is one half semicircle and there are nodiscontinuities in the code.

This may be illustrated as follows. Consider encodingthe angular range 0o to 360o in 1o increments. Per thegeneral encoding rules above, the positive semicirclewill cover the range 0o to 179o (one least significant bitless than full range). All the bits of the code will be“zeros” for 0o and “ones” for 179o, and the sign/statusmatrix will indicate the positive sign. The negativesemicircle will cover the range 180o to 359o. All thebits will be “zeros” for 180o. The codes for anglesbetween 181o to 359o will be determined by taking thetwos complements of the fractional binary series for

the result of subtracting each value from 360. Thus,the code for 181o is the twos complement of the codefor 179o. Throughout the negative semicircle, whichincludes 180o, the sign/status matrix contains thenegative sign.

For convenience, all binary word ranges inAttachment 2 are shown as whole binary numbersrather than such numbers less one least significantbit value. Also, the resolutions shown areapproximate only. Accurate resolutions can bedetermined, if required, by reference to the rangevalues and numbers of significant bits for the words ofinterest.

It should be noted that in all applications of the twoscomplement fractional notation, the maximum value ofthe word, once chosen, cannot be changed by the use ofmore bits in the data field. The number of bits in theword affects only the resolution of the data, not itsrange.

Binary Coded Decimal (BCD) data is encoded per thenumeric subset of the ISO Alphabet #5 code (seeAttachment 5 to this document) using Bit Nos. 1through 4 of the seven-bit-per-character code.Alpha/numeric data is encoded using all seven bits percharacter of the ISO Alphabet #5 code and istransmitted using the special word format described inSection 2.3.1.3 of this document.

2.2 Electrically Related Elements

This section describes the digital transfer system elementsconsidered to be principally related to the electrical aspectsof the signal circuit.

2.2.1 Transmission System Interconnect

A data source should be connected to the data sink(s) bymeans of a single twisted and shielded pair of wires. Theshields should be grounded at both ends to an aircraftground close to the rack connector and at all productionbreaks in the cable.

COMMENTARY

In practical wire line digital information transmissionsystems, cable characteristics and electrical mismatchescan produce distortion of the digital data pulses. Also,noise due to electrical interference perturbs digitalsignals.

The performance of a digital receiver depends upon thereceiver input signal characteristics (data withdistortion and noise) and the receiver design.

Prior to the selection of the voltage and impedanceparameters set forth in this section of this document, thepulse distortion likely to be encountered in systemsbuilt around them in existing size commercial aircraftwas evaluated and judged to be acceptable for a well-designed receiver. No restriction is placed by thisspecification, therefore, on the number or length ofstubs for installations on aircraft no larger than thoseexisting, e.g., B 747. See Appendix 1 to this documentfor a report of this investigation.

Tests have shown that some receivers continuedecoding data properly when one side of thetransmission line is open or shorted to ground. Whenthis condition exists noise immunity decreases andintermittent operation may occur. Users desireprotection against non-annunciated system operation inthis mode. This protection may consist of additionalcircuitry to detect and annunciate the fault, or toincrease the receiver threshold to above 5.5 volts,which is the maximum signal level under this one-wirefault condition.

Most ARINC Characteristics now contain textspecifying that DITS receivers should discontinueoperation when the voltage thresholds fall into theundefined regions between “Null” and “Hi” or “Null”and “Lo”. Manufacturers building DITS receivers areurged to incorporate this feature in their circuitrywhether it is to be used in ARINC 7XX-seriesequipment or Non-ARINC devices.

2.2.2 Modulation

RZ bipolar modulation should be used. This is tri-levelstate modulation consisting of “HI”, “NULL” and “LO”states.

2.2.3 Voltage Levels

2.2.3.1 Transmitter Voltage Levels

The differential output signal across the specified outputterminals (balanced to ground at the transmitter) should beas given in the following table when the transmitter is opencircuit:

2.0 DIGITAL INFORMATION TRANSFER SYSTEM STANDARDS

2.2.3.2 Receiver Voltage Levels

The differential voltage presented at the receiver inputterminals will be dependent upon line length, stubconfiguration and the number of receivers connected. In theabsence of noise, the normal ranges of voltages presented tothe receiver terminals (A and B) would be:

“HI” +7.25V to +11V“NULL” +0.5V to -0.5V“LO” -7.25V to -11V

In practice, these nominal voltages will be perturbed bynoise and pulse distortion. Thus, receivers should associatethe following voltage ranges with the three states indicated:

“HI” +6.5V to 13V“NULL” +2.5V to -2.5V“LO” -6.5V to -13V

COMMENTARY

Receiver reaction is currently undefined herein forvoltages that fall in the range just above and below the“Null” range. Respective equipment characteristicsshould be referenced for desired receiver response inthis range. However, it is desirable that all DITSreceivers will discontinue operation when the voltagelevels fall into the undefined regions. Manufacturersare urged, as new equipment is developed, to “designin” the rejection capability.

The opinion is held by some people that conditions ontransmission lines will be encountered which willrequire receivers to operate with less than the abovedefined minimum difference of 4.0V between theNULL and HI and NULL and LO states. Receiverdesigners are encouraged to investigate thepossibilities and problems of working with a minimumdifference of 1 volt between these states and to reporttheir findings.

Receiver input common mode voltages (terminal A toground and terminal B to ground) are not specifiedbecause of the difficulties of defining ground with anysatisfactory degree of precision. Receivermanufacturers are encouraged to work with thedifferential input voltage (line A to line B) and not line-to-ground voltages.

2.2.4 Impedance Levels

2.2.4.1 Transmitter Output Impedance

The transmitter output impedance should be 75 ±5 ohms,divided equally between line A and line B to provide animpedance balanced output. This output impedance shouldbe present for the “HI”, “NULL” and “LO” transmitteroutput conditions and also during transitions between theselevels.

COMMENTARY

The output impedance of the transmitter is specified as75 ± 5 ohms to provide an approximate match to thecharacteristic impedance of the cable. The match canonly be approximate due to the wide range of

characteristic impedances which may be encountereddue to the variety of conductor wire gauges andinsulation properties. Measurements on a few samplesof wire showed a spread of characteristic impedance of63 to 71 ohms. An extrapolation over the wire gauges20 to 26 for wrapped and extruded insulation indicatean expected characteristic impedance spread of 60 to80 ohms approx. Twisted shielded wire specificationsdo not control the characteristic impedance of thecable, thus future developments in insulationtechniques may result in cables having characteristicimpedances outside the range estimated.

2.2.4.2 Receiver Input Impedance

The receiver should exhibit the following characteristics,measured at the receiver input terminals:

Differential Input Resistance RI = 12,000 ohms minimumDifferential Input Capacitance CI = 50pF maximumResistance to Ground RH and RG ≥ 12,000 ohmsCapacitance to Ground CH and CG ≤ 50pF.

The total receiver input resistance including the effects ofRI, RH and RG in parallel should be 8,000 ohms minimum(400 ohms minimum for twenty receiver loads).

No more than twenty receivers should be connected on toone digital data bus and each receiver should incorporateisolation provisions to ensure that the occurrence of anyreasonably probable failure does not cause loss of data tothe others.

See Attachment 4 to this document for a pictorialrepresentation of the input and output circuit standards.

COMMENTARY

The above characteristics apply to differentialamplifier receivers. Opto-isolator technology isprogressing and may soon find application in digitaldata receivers. Opto-isolator receivers impose slightlygreater loads on data buses than differential amplifierreceivers and the way in which they are characterized isdifferent. It is probable, however, that a future revisionof this Specification will include material specificallyrelated to their use.

2.2.5 Fault Tolerance

2.2.5.1 Receiver External Fault Voltage Tolerance

Receivers should withstand without sustaining damage thefollowing steady-state voltages being applied to theirterminals, superimposed upon a normally operating bus.Operation within specification limits is not required underthese conditions.

a. 30 Vac RMS applied across terminals A and B, or

b. ±29 Vdc applied between terminal A and ground, or

c. ±29 Vdc applied between terminal B and ground.

2.2.5.2 Transmitter External Fault Voltage

Transmitter failures caused by external fault voltages shouldnot cause other transmitters or other circuitry in the unit tofunction outside of their specification limits or to fail.

2.2.5.3 Transmitter External Fault Load Tolerance

Transmitters should indefinitely withstand withoutsustaining damage a short circuit applied:

a. across terminals A and B, or

b. from terminal A to ground, or

c. from terminal B to ground, or

d. b and c above, simultaneously.

2.2.6 Fault Isolation

2.2.6.1 Receiver Fault Isolation

Each receiver should incorporate isolation provisions toensure that the occurrence of any reasonably probableinternal LRU or bus receiver failure does not cause anyinput bus to operate outside of its specification limits (bothundervoltage or overvoltage).

2.2.6.2 Transmitter Fault Isolation

Each transmitter should incorporate isolation provisions toensure that it does not under any reasonably probable LRUfault condition provide an output voltage in excess of:

a. a voltage greater than 30 Vac RMS between terminal Aand B, or

b. greater than ±29 Vdc between A and ground, or

c. greater than ±29 Vdc between B and ground.

2.3 Logic Related Elements

This section describes the digital transfer system elementsconsidered to be principally related to the logic aspects ofthe signal circuit.

2.3.1 Digital Language

2.3.1.1 Numeric Data

The Mark 33 DITS should accommodate numeric dataencoded in two digital languages, (i) BNR expressed intwos complement fractional notation and (ii) BCD per thenumerical subset of ISO Alphabet No. 5 (see Attachment 5to this document). An information item encoded in bothlanguages will be assigned a unique address for each (seeSection 2.1.3 and Attachment 1). Word formats areillustrated in Attachment 6 to this document.

2.3.1.2 Discretes

In addition to handling numeric data as specified above, theMark 33 DITS should also be capable of accommodatingdiscrete items of information either in the unused (pad) bitsof data words or, when necessary, in dedicated words. Anydiscrete information contained in a numeric data word

assigned a label in Attachment 1 is specified in thedefinition for that word in Attachment 6.

The rule to be followed in the assignment soft bits todiscrete in numeric data words is to start with the leastsignificant bit of the word and to continue towards the mostsignificant bit available in the word. Attachment 6 showsits against the background of the generalized word structure.

There are two types of discrete words. These are generalpurpose discrete words, and dedicated discrete words.Seven labels (270 XXX-276 XXX) are assigned to thegeneral purpose words in Attachment 1. These wordsshould be used in ascending label order (starting with 270XXX) when the system receiving the data can identify itssource by reference to the port at which it arrives.

2.3.1.3 Maintenance Data (General Purpose)

The general purpose maintenance words are assigned labelsin sequential order as are the labels for the general purposediscrete words. The lowest octal value label assigned to themaintenance words should be used when only onemaintenance word is transmitted. When more than oneword is transmitted the lowest octal value label should beused first and the other labels used sequentially until themessage has been completed. The general purposemaintenance words may contain discrete, BCD or BNRnumeric data but should never contain ISO Alphabet No. 5messages. The general purpose maintenance words shouldbe formatted according to the layouts of the correspondingBCD/BNR/discrete data words shown in Attachment 2.

2.3.1.4 AIM Data

The information previously contained in this section is nolonger applicable to ARINC Specification 429. Forreference purposes, the section header is retained and theoriginal contents of this section are located in Part 3 of thisSpecification.

2.3.1.5 File Data Transfer

This section previously described a character-oriented filedata transfer protocol. This definition was used as guidancefor the character-oriented file transfer protocol descriptionsincorporated into many ARINC equipment characteristics. The original contents of this section are located in Part 3 ofthis Specification.

The protocol defined in Part 3 is preferred for newapplications. The purpose of this bit-oriented com-munications protocol is to provide for the transparenttransfer of data files using the ARINC 429 data bus.

COMMENTARY

The data transparent protocol described in Part 3 wasdeveloped in order to facilitate the communications ofthe ACARS Management Unit (MU) and the SatelliteData Unit (SDU). Its viability as a universal protocolwas recognized by the Systems Architecture andInterfaces (SAI) Subcommittee, which recommendedits inclusion herein as the standard means of file datatransfer.

between two units, where this information is not pre-determined is described in Section 2.5.19.

2.3.1.5.1 Bit-Oriented Protocol Determination

The ALO word should be sent by any system whichsupports the bit-oriented Link Layer protocol just after thesystem powers-up, or performs a re-initialization for anyreason. The ALO/ALR protocol process may also be usedwhen a bit-oriented Link Layer protocol system needs todetermine if any of its interfaces support the bit-orientedprotocol. All systems which support the Link Layer bit-oriented protocol must be able to respond to the initiation ofthis process. Attachment 11C shows the ALO and ALRword formats.

When a system with a bit-oriented Link Layer protocol hasthe need to make this determination, it should construct theALO word and transmit this word to the device in question. The system should then wait for a maximum period of timedefined by T12. If the device in question has not respondedwithin T12, the initiating system should initiate another ALOword and again delay up to T12. An initiating system willattempt a maximum of N6 ALO word operations beforedeclaring the device in question as “Not bit-oriented” or“Not able to respond”.

2.3.2 Transmission Order

The Least Significant Bit (LSB) and Least SignificantCharacter (LSC) of each word should be transmitted first. Itmay be noted that the least significant bit of the word is themost significant bit of the label and that the label istransmitted ahead of the data in each case. This “reversedlabel” characteristic is a legacy from past systems in whichthe octal coding of the label field was, apparently, of nosignificance.

2.3.3 Data Bit Encoding Logic

A “HI” state after the beginning of the bit interval returningto a “NULL” state before the end of the same bit intervalsignifies a logic “one”.

A “LO” state after the beginning of the bit interval returningto a “NULL” state before the end of the same bit intervalsignifies a logic “zero”. This is represented graphically inAttachment 7 to this document.

2.3.4 Error Detection/Correction

The last bit of each word should be encoded such that wordparity is rendered odd to allow error detection in receivers. Note that the parity calculation encompasses all 31 labeland information bits of the word.

COMMENTARY

Air transport industry experience with digitalinformation transfer systems pre-dating the Mark 33DITS has shown that the twisted shielded pair of wirescan be regarded as a high integrity link unlikely tointroduce bit errors into the data passing through it. Itis for this reason that no means for error correction arespecified in this document. The error detectioncapability specified above may be used as desired in

receiving terminals. BNR data, for example, may bechecked for parity by reference to the binary state ofBit No. 32 of each word. Also, the data may besubmitted to reasonableness checks. BCD may besubmitted to reasonableness checks. BCD dataintended for human consumption in the cockpit isnormally smoothed before transmission to ensuretolerable levels of display jitter. As this processeliminates any obviously wild data points, the need forfurther error detection is questionable. As pointed outin the Commentary following Section 2.1.2 of thisdocument, the parity bit was added to the BCD wordfor reasons related to BCD/BNR transmitter hardwarecommonality, not because a need for it existed for errordetection.

2.4 Timing Related Elements

This section describes the digital data transfer systemelements considered to be principally related to the timingaspects of the signal circuit.

2.4.1 Bit Rate

2.4.1.1 High Speed Operation

The bit rate for high speed operation of the system shouldbe 100 kilobits per second ±1%.

2.4.1.2 Low Speed Operation

The bit rate for low speed operation of the system should bewithin the range 12.0 to 14.5 kilobits per second. Theselected rate should be maintained within 1%.

NOTE:

High bit rate and low bit rate messages will not beintermixed on the same bus.

COMMENTARY

Although the bit rates specified above should be heldwithin the stated tolerances over the long term,individual bit lengths may fall outside the limitsexpected from these tolerances. Bit symmetry and jittershould be within the tolerances specified in Attachment8.

Also, notwithstanding the RFI performance of theARINC 429 DITS reported in Appendix 1 to thisdocument, system designers are advised to avoidselection of 13.6 kilobits per second for low speedoperations and precisely 100 kilobits per second forhigh speed operations to ensure that the system is notresponsible for interference to LORAN C systems withwhich the aircraft might be equipped.

2.0 DIGITAL INFORMATION TRANSFER SYSTEM STANDARDS

2.4.2 Information Rates

The minimum and maximum transmit intervals for eachitem of information transferred by the Mark 33 DITS arespecified in the tables of Attachment 2. Words with likelabels but with different SDI codes should be treated asunique items of information. Each and every unique itemof information should be transmitted once during aninterval bounded in length by the minimum and maximumvalues specified in Attachment 2. Stated another way, aword having the same label and four different SDI codesshould appear on the bus four times (once for each SDIcode) during that time interval.

COMMENTARY

There are no values given for refresh rates in thisSpecification. However, it is desirable that data berefreshed at least once per transmission. Those dataactually requiring long processing times or a largenumber of samples are the only types not expected tobe refreshed with every transmission.

Discretes contained within data words should be transferredat the bit rate and repeated at the update rate of the primarydata. Words dedicated to discretes should be repeatedcontinuously at the rates defined in Attachment 2.

COMMENTARY

The time intervals between successive transmissions ofa given BCD word specified in table 1 of Attachment 2to this document are, in general, too short for the signalto be of use in driving a display device directly. If thesignal was so used the least significant character of thedisplay, would change too rapidly for humanperception. Considerations other than human factorsdemand the time intervals specified. Thus, displaydesigners should incorporate into their devices meansfor selecting those words to be used for updating thedisplay from the greater quantity delivered.

2.4.3 Clocking Method

Clocking is inherent in the data transmission. Theidentification of the bit interval is related to the initiation ofeither a “HI” or “LO” state from a previous “NULL” statein a bipolar RZ code.

2.4.4 Word Synchronization

The digital word should be synchronized by reference to agap of four bit times (minimum) between the periods ofword transmissions. The beginning of the first transmittedbit following this gap signifies the beginning of the newword.

2.4.5 Timing Tolerances

The waveform timing tolerances should be as shown inAttachment 8 to this document.

COMMENTARY

RF interference radiated by the Mark 33 DITS usingthe waveform characteristics specified in this sectionhas been shown not to exceed that permitted by Figure21-5 of RTCA Document DO-160, “EnvironmentalConditions and Test Procedures for AirborneElectronic/Electrical Equipment and Instruments”.Also, conducted RF interference is within the limitsspecified in Figure 21-2 of DO-160. Appendix 1 tothis document refers.

3.0 MARK 33 DITS APPLICATIONS NOTES

3.1 Radio Systems Management

One special application of the Mark 33 DITS is to radiosystems frequency selection and function switching. Thefollowing paragraphs set forth the rules which should befollowed in the application of the DITS to ensureinterchangeability of radios and control sources.

3.1.1 Word Format and Digital Language

The standard DITS 32-bit BCD word should be used, of whichBit Nos. 1 through 8 constitute the label, Bit Nos. 9 and 10 arereserved for a source/destination identifier code, bit nos. 11through 29 constitute the data, Bit Nos. 30 and 31 form thesign/status matrix and Bit No. 32 is the word parity bit. Thedata field should contain the frequency to which the radiodefined by the label field is to tune encoded in BCD characters,together with the discretes required for function switching forthat radio. Attachment 6 shows how the word should bestructured for each radio system requiring the DITSmanagement service.

3.1.2 Update Rate

The nominal update rate for all radio systems managementwords should be five times per second.

3.1.3 Sign/Status Matrix

Since sign is not a characteristic of radio systems managementinformation, the normal states of the sign/status matrix bits willbe binary “zeros”. However, the radios should recognize thecodes for “functional test” and “no computed data”, (seeSection 2.1.5 of this document). They should interpret theformer as an instruction to perform a functional test orfunctional test sequence. They should regard the latter as aninstruction to remain tuned to the frequency contained in thelast valid word received until either another valid word isdecoded or their primary power is removed.

TABLE 2 - BNR DATA

[1] The number entered into the Range Column for eachparameter that is not angular in nature is the nearestwhole binary number greater than the parameter rangerequired. As explained in the Commentary followingSection 2.1.6 of this document, the weight of the mostsignificant bit of the twos complement fractional notationbinary word will be one half this value, and the actualmaximum value of the parameter capable of beingencoded will be the number in the range column less oneleast significant bit value. The numbers entered in theRANGE column for angular parameters are the actualdegree ranges required. The way in which theseparameters are encoded is also explained in theCommentary following Section 2.1.6.

[2] Transmit intervals and the number of parameters to betransmitted are prime factors in bus loading. Theinterval for transmission of parameters should fallbetween the minimum and maximum specified intervalsand nominally should be near the center of the range atequal intervals between transmissions. When heavy busloading dictates a shift from the center of the range, theshift should be toward the maximum transmit interval.

When words with like labels and with different SDIcodes are transmitted, each of those words is considereda unique item of information. The guidance given in thisdocument for transmit intervals should be applied tothose words as if each word were identified by adifferent label.

[3] Maximum transport delay is the worst case total delaybetween an input function and the output response.

COMMENTARY

Since the nature of the data varies, the definition oftransport delay will differ depending on theapplication. In the case of a sampling system, asample is complete when the 32-bit wordconstituting the output data is complete. In the caseof a system involving filtering, transport delay is thephase slope of the transfer function across thefrequency band of interest.

There can be situations in which it is necessary to definewhich portions of an equipment are included in thetransport delay term. Such definitions should appear inindividual equipment Characteristics when needed.

[4] The values shown in parentheses are the preferred datastandards for stator vane angle. However, a considerableportion of existing equipment use the other (non-parenthesized) values. Users should verify the datastandards of the equipment they are or will be using.

[5] These labels can provide data in a degraded accuracymode. See Section 2.1.5.1 and 2.1.5.2.

[1] Source/Destination Identifier (SDI) Field

The purpose of the SDI field is explained in Section 2.1.4 of this document, as are also the limitations on its use.When the SDI function is not required, this field may be occupied by binary zero or valid data pad bits.

[2] Discretes

As discussed in Section 2.3.1.2 of this document, unused bits in a word may be assigned to discrete functions, onebit per variable. Bit #11 of the word should be the first to be so assigned, followed by bit #12 and so on, inascending numerical order, until the data field is reached. In the absence of discretes, unused bit positions shouldbe occupied by binary zero or valid data pad bits.

[3] Pad

All bit positions not used for data or discrete should be filled with binary zero or valid data pad bits. Section 2.1.2of this document refers.

[4] Sign/Status Matrix (SSM)

Section 2.1.5 of this document describes the functions of the sign/status matrix and the ways in which the bitsconstituting it are encoded.

[5] Parity Bit

This bit is encoded to render word parity odd. Section 2.3.4 of this document refers.

NOTES:

[1] “P” denotes pad “zero” or valid data, see Section 2.1.2. Note possible use of pad bits for discrete functions perSection 2.3.1.2.

[2] Because of the actual maximum value of the most significant character of these quantities exceeds 7, it cannotbe encoded in the most significant character position of the BCD word. For this reason, each quantity hasbeen given an “artificial” MSC of zero and its actual MSC encoded in the next most significant characterposition of the word.

confusion that existed in the Industry in regards to definition of theSSM for Label 233-236. It is expected that Flight ID will besourced from FMC EQ ID of 002. Alternative implementation mayinclude Mode “S” XPDR EQ ID 018. In this case the usercautioned that the SSM will be BCD format.

APPENDIX ALABORATORY VERIFICATION OF ARINC 429 DITS ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS

A1-1.0 Introduction

Selection of the electrical characteristics of the Mark 33 DITS followed verification of the suitability of proposed values inlaboratory tests performed by the Boeing Commercial Airplane Co. Boeing presented two reports to AEEC’s SystemsArchitecture and Interfaces Subcommittee on these activities, one at the meeting held in Arlington, Virginia, in March 1977and the other at the meeting held in Los Angeles, California, in May 1977. The material in this Appendix is excerpted fromthese reports.

A1-2.0 Electromagnetic Emission and Susceptibility Tests

Electromagnetic emission and susceptibility tests were conducted to determine if the proposed 100 kbps waveform wassuitable for use in a commercial airplane EMI environment. The EMI conditions used for the tests were derived fromRTCA Document DO-160, “Environmental Conditions and Test Procedures for Airborne Electronic/Electrical Equipmentand Instruments” dated February 28th, 1975.

A1-2.1 Cable and Test Configuration

The cable used for the tests was standard aircraft type twisted shielded wire of 22 AWG. The wire configuration consistedof approximately 60 ft. of cable which was subjected to the EMI environment within a screened room. This cable wasconnected in series with 300 ft. of cable not subjected to the EMI environment. The test was configured to simulate themaximum length wire run with DO-160 conditions applied.

The 60 Ft. length of cable was connected to the transmitter for the emission tests and to the receiver for the susceptibilitytests.

A1-2.2 Transmitter Characteristics

The block schematic of the bipolar line driving transmitter built for the tests is shown in Figure a-(i). The waveform wasshaped at the pulse generator such that it exhibited the following characteristics:

Differential Output Voltage:HI +10VNULL 0VLO -10VRisetime = Falltime = l.0 µ secBit Rate= 100 kilobits/secondHI time= NULL time= LO time

A1-2.3 Receiver Input Circuit Description

To perform the susceptibility tests, receivers were constructed utilizing various methods of common mode rejection andvarious processing schemes.

Differential Amplifier Input. Figure a-(ii) shows schematics of the differential input stages used for the receivers. Thedifferential amplifier input stage required resistors to local ground at the input to provide a path for the input current for thevoltage followers. Voltage protection was used to prevent damage to the voltage followers in the event of high voltage,common mode spikes. The voltage follower stages provided a controlled impedance for the differential amplifier stage.

Opto-Isolator Input The opto-isolator input stage utilized two H-P 5082-4371 isolators connected in opposite polarity todetect the bipolar data. The HP 5082-4371 input has a forward conduction “knee” at approximately 1.4 volts. A secondsimple LED (HP 5082-4650) was connected in series with each opto-isolator to provide a combined knee voltage ofapproximately 3 volts. A series resistor RL of 1000 ohms was placed in series with the LED/opto-isolator network to limitthe receiver current to 7mA at 10 volts (differential) applied at the input. At 4.5V differential on the line, one opto-isolatorconducts 1.5 mA.

One circuit configuration which enables the opto-isolator to operate at 100 kilobits per second at these low input currents isshown in figure a-(iii). A potential of +15 volts is applied to pin 8 to provide maximum gain in the first transistor. Duringconduction, a charge on the second transistor is discharged via pin 7 and R2 to a potential of +0.5 volts set by R1 and R3.Discharging to a +0.5 volt potential reduces the possibility of a loss of the first bit following a long null period. Thisproblem has been observed when discharging pin 7 to ground potential.

A1-2.4 Receiver Data Detection Technique

Two data detection schemes were used, (i) data sampling (sample and decision) and (ii) integrate and dump (Figure a-(iv).

The data sampling system detects positive-going or negative-going edges which exceed ±3 volts differential voltage.The edges cause a timing circuit to time for approximately 2 µsec. When the timing circuit has timed out, a sample ofthe input is taken. If the sample is HI, a ONE is declared. If the sample is LO, a ZERO is declared. If the sample isNULL, and error diagnostic can be output, since a NULL state is known to be invalid at the data sampling time. Anerror diagnostic will be output if, for example, during a period of NULL on the line, a short-duration noise spike causesthe input to exceed the ±3V threshold, so initiating the edge detector timing circuit, but dissipates rapidly so that aNULL is estimated at the data sampling time.

The integrate-and-dump processor circuit detects positive or negative-going edges which exceed the ±3V differentialthreshold. The edge detection causes an integration circuit to integrate the input voltage for a period of 5 µsec. Theoutput of the integrator is sampled (timing is derived from the edge detector) at the end of the integration period. If it isabove zero voltage, a ONE is declared; if it is below zero voltage, a ZERO is declared.

A threshold level could be introduced about zero voltage to provide an indication of the total energy contained in thepulse. If the integrator output fell within the threshold, an error diagnostic could be presented indicating the at thedetection of the bit was marginal.

A1-2.5 Test Data Message

The test waveform was a continuous pseudo-random bit pattern. This continuous pattern did not test the initialsynchronization or “false-alarm” aspects in a word-by-word transmission environment with NULL on the transmissionline between words.

A1-2.6 Emission of RF Energy Test Results

The following tests were performed under conditions of light (one receiver) and heavy (20 receivers) line loading.

A. Conducted RF Interference (RTCA DO-160 Paragraph 21.2)The interference measured was within the limits specified in DO 160 Figure 21-2.

B. Radiated RF Interference (RTCA DO-160 Paragraph 21.3)The interference measured was within the limits specified in DO-160 Figure 21-5.

It should be noted that the 20dB limit exceedance permitted in DO 160 was not taken. The transmitter output spectrumcan be further improved by the addition of filtering to attenuate output frequencies above those of interest in the digitaldata.

A1-2.7 Susceptibility Test Results

The tests were performed to determine the susceptibility of the Mark 33 DITS to RF, AF and spike interference levelsspecified in DO-160 under conditions of light (one receiver) and heavy (20 receivers) line loading.

The following receiver configurations were tested:

(i) Differential Amplifier input, time sample processing(ii) Differential Amplifier input, integrate-and-dump processing(iii) Opto-isolator input, time sample processing(iv) Opto-isolator input, integrate-and-dump processing

The data transmitted consisted of a continuous pseudo-random bit sequence. Error checking was made on a bit-by-bitbasis.

A. Conducted RF Susceptibility (DO-160 Paragraph 20.20B Category Z)No bit errors were detected with RF applied to any of the line loading and receiver configurations.

B. Magnetic Fields Induced Into Interconnecting Cables (DO-160 Paragraph 19.3)Test performed at a level above those specified in DO-160 Figure 19-1. No bit errors were detected with thefield applied to the cable for any cable loading or receiver configuration.

C. Electric Fields Induced Into Interconnecting Cables (DO-160 Paragraph 19.4)The tests were perform with voltage levels above those specified in DO 160 Figure 19-1 Category Z. No biterrors were detected with the field applied for any cable loading or receiver configuration.

D. Spikes Induced Into Interconnecting Cables (DO-160 Paragraph 19.5, Category Z)The spikes were generated and applied to the cable as shown in DO-160, Figure 19-4. Bit errors were countedduring the application of 50 transients and also following the transient test. The following results wereobserved:

A1-3.0 Pulse Distortion Tests For Typical Aircraft wire Installations

Laboratory testing and computer simulation studies were conducted to investigate the pulse distortion introduced ontypical aircraft wire installations.

A1-3.1 Laboratory Tests

Receivers and a transmitter were constructed to operate using the DITS high speed (100 KBPS) waveform. Lengths oftwisted shielded cable were connected to form a representative wiring configuration for digital data. The wire length andstub configuration were selected to represent postulated installations on a B747 airplane. The cable used for lab testswas 20 and 22 AWG twisted shielded cable with wrapped KAPTON insulation, no. BMS B-51, Class 2 type III. Thepulse distortion at the receiver nodes of the wiring systems were recorded. The characteristics of the 20 AWG cablewere measured and used to develop the cable model used in the computer simulation.

A1-3.2 Computer Simulation

A computer program was developed to evaluate pulse distortion on lines with stubs. The DITS transmitter impedanceand voltage waveform was modeled. The cable model was developed from the measured cable characteristics. TheDITS receiver input impedance was modeled.

The computer simulation was run and results were plotted for various line length and stub configurations representingpostulated installations on a B747 airplane.

A1-3.3 Results

The results of the laboratory tests and computer simulation for the same cable configuration showed good agreement,with a maximum difference of 0.4 volts on rising and falling edges. The computer simulation showed slightly highercable loss effect than the lab test. The lab test results were recorded using an oscilloscope camera; the computer resultswere plotted. Only the plotted results are presented here.

Figure a-(v) shows the schematic for the first simulation. This configuration represents a transmitter, a receiver and asingle length of twisted shielded cable 200 feet long. The cable is modeled as Blocks 1 to 4, for later stub connection.

At the transmitter and receive ends of the cable, the shields are grounded via a 0.05 µH inductor (which models theinductance of the ground lead). At other nodes, the shields and cable inners are carded through, representing acontinuous length of cable.

Four receiver loading configurations are shown withmaximum loading of twenty receivers. The waveforms for this simulation run are shown in Figures a-(ix) through a-(xvi).

A1-3.4 Conclusions

From laboratory tests and simulations, it is concluded that no intolerable bit distortion is introduced into the “high speedDITS” waveform due to cable lengths and stub configurations likely to be encountered on a “B747-size” transportaircraft.

If installations are anticipated involving longer line lengths or cables with radically different electrical characteristics,then further investigation may be required.

APPENDIX BAN APPROACH TO A HYBRID BROADCAST-COMMAND/RESPONSE DATA BUS ARCHITECTURE

A2-1.0 Introduction

During the time that the broadcast approach to digital information transfer became established in the air transport industry,the military aviation community adopted a command/response time division multiplex technique as its standard. In thisapproach, all aircraft systems needing to exchange digital data are connected to a common bus and a dedicated “buscontroller” determines which of them may output data on to the bus at any given time. MIL STD 1553 was written todescribe this system.

The airlines considered adopting MIL STD 1553, or something like it, for use on post-1980 new civil aircraft types but foundthe multiplex technique to be inappropriate for such applications. In civil avionics systems, data typically flows from a givensource to a single sink, or group of sinks which may be connected in a parallel, and these sinks are typically not themselvesdata sources. Thus there is no need for the data transfer system to provide the capability for every unit of every avionicssystem to both talk and listen to every other unit. The broadcast technique is adequate, and thus the airlines elected to staywith it for their new DITS.

Another development in this same time frame has been the increased use by the military, particularly in transport aircraft, ofavionics equipment designed originally for the airlines. This trend may be expected to continue and so give rise to the needto interface equipment providing Mark 33 DITS I/0 capability with a MIL STD 1553A data bus system. The material in thisAppendix prepared by the Information Engineering Division of the USAF Directorate of Avionics Engineering describes oneway of doing this, using a data exchange buffer to compensate for the electrical, logic and timing differences between the twosystems.

A2-2.0 Suggested Mark 33 DITS/MIL STD 1553A Interface

The following is a proposed method for interfacing an avionic system employing sensors designed for any combination ofARINC Mark 33 DITS and MIL-STD-1553A. This method minimizes message related differences and compensates forelectrical, logic and timing differences in a Data Exchange Buffer (DEB).

In a hybrid system such as shown in Figure b-(i), a signal may originate in either a DITS type subsystem or a 1553Asubsystem and may be destined for either type of terminal. DITS data received by a DEB is momentarily stored and thenretransmitted, complete with label, to the 1553A bus controller. The bus controller determines the intended destinations fromthe label and look-up table. For DITS destinations, the word is retransmitted, as received, to the appropriate DEB. For1553A destinations, the data may be retransmitted as received or reformatted, as required by the destination subsystem.Reformatting could involve removal of label and reversing of bit order (MSB vs LSB first). Figure b-(ii) shows the handlingof a word originating in the destined for DITS terminals.

Upon arrival at the appropriate destination DEB, the data is momentarily stored and then retransmitted in DITS format,complete with label, to the destination subsystem. If all labels in the system are unique, all receivers in all subsystemsassociated with a DEB may be connected in parallel. Only the data with the proper label will be recognized by each receiver.If labels are not unique, the DEB must have separate transmitters to transmit the data with identical labels. The desiredtransmitter could be specified in the 1553A subaddress field.

The retransmission of the data by the DEB allows inherently for different electrical and logical characteristics. The storage ofthe data allows for simultaneous reception from multiple receivers (DITS and 1553A) and retransmission when the desiredbus is available. The much higher speed of 1553A would make retransmission delays small.

Figure b-(iii) illustrates the organization of a minimum system. It consists of multiple DITS receivers dumping received datainto a first-in first-out (FIFO) stack, available as single LSI chips. The received data is temporarily stored and thenretransmitted by the 1553A terminal. Data received via 1553A is dumped into another FIFO for retransmission by a DITStransmitter. The hardware consists only of DITS receivers, the 1553A terminal, the DITS transmitter, and as many FIFO’s asare required. Hand-shaking signals available on the FIFO’s eliminate almost all supporting SSI chips. This entire systemwould probably fit on one full ATR card or less.

Figure b-(iv) illustrates possible organization for a more sophisticated DEB. It consists of an many DITS transmitters andreceivers as necessary, a single (internally redundant) 1553A remote terminal, a buffer memory, a controller(microprocessor), and a program for the controller contained in ROM. Whenever a complete, valid word is available at areceiver, the controller is notified. When the parallel data bus becomes available, the word is transferred to memory. Whenthe desired transmitter (DITS or 1553A) becomes available, the data word is routed from memory to the transmitter. The lowrate of DITS terminals (minimum 320 microsec/word) would result in a very low loading of the parallel bus and controller.The speed of the 1553A terminal might necessitate a direct memory access arrangement. The controller, the programmemory, the buffer memory and a dual 1553A remote terminal would probably fit on one one-sided 3/4 ATR card. Therequired ARINC transmitters and receivers would probably fit on another card.

This method represents one way of constructing a hybrid system. The retransmission of the label with the data greatlyreduces the intelligence required by the DEB but increases bus loading. A more intelligent DEB, perhaps located in the buscontroller, could achieve much higher efficiencies.

A Control System View ofARINC 429 Bus Specifications

ByT. G. Sharpe and G. E. Forquer

I. Introduction and Summary

The discussion below summarizes concepts that have grown out of an in-houseeffort to determine what parameter characteristics Collins feels should beincluded in the data standards tables of ARINC Bus Specification 429 (DITS).The DITS specification seems to be evolving as more than merely a digital busdescription since in many ways it is taking on the characteristics of a systeminterface specification. This raises philosophical questions concerning thosecharacteristics, which should appear in the individual equipment specificationsversus those which should appear in “429”. The authors cannot resolve suchpartitioning questions. Hopefully we can contribute, as outlined below, to anunderstanding of what information is required by control systems designers toachieve an acceptable system performance. The detailed discussion in this paperevolves a set of terms (outlined below) which are usable in a specification. Whichof these terms appear in the individual equipment specifications and which appearin “429” remains to be determined.

At the present time, it is suggested that control system designers interfacing withdigitally bused data should be concerned with three prime areas: stabilityconsiderations, signal degradation, and spectral characteristics. Without theseelements of information, thorough analysis of system performance will not bepossible.

The following eight parameter characteristics should prove adequate for theminimal control of interfacing considerations.

Stability• Control Band• Magnitude Limits• Phase Limits

Signal Degradation• Modification Signal to Noise Ratio (MSN)• Static Accuracy

Spectral Characteristics• Update Interval• Transmit Interval• Pre-sampling Bandwidth Limit

The following discussion of these characteristics should aid the reader inunderstanding their purpose and assessing their adequacy. It is recognized thatsome changes may necessarily take place as the industry completes its digitalinterfacing standardization task.

II. Stability Consideration

There is nothing uniquely digital in this area. Here our concern is with thosecharacteristics that are most often used in linear system stability analysis – namelygain and phase characteristics. We recognize at the outset that all sensor systemsare not 100% linear but this does not prevent us from defining a linear model ofsufficient quality to support stability analyses. It is useful to consider here thatgenerally the sensor will be wideband relative to the band of frequencies ofinterest to the control system. This is necessary from a stability point of viewsince the converse (that is, signals narrowband relative to the control band) wouldintroduce excessive phase lag in the control band. Thus far we have implicitlyconsidered both bandpass and lowpass centered at zero frequency. For simplicity,however, the discussion below will assume low pass sensor characteristics but theideas apply generally. Figure 1 illustrates an assumed sensor characteristic.

Gain and Phase Constraints

Note that prime concerns are that the gain remain essentially constant through thecontrol band and that the phase be bounded by a linear characteristic through thecontrol band. From a control law stability point of view, we are not concernedwith what happens at frequencies above the control band because these arebeyond the range where the data is being used by the control system. If weconsider open loop Bode plots broken at the sensor output, the control band asused above should be wide enough to include the phase crossover as well as thegain crossover. The phase and gain characteristics provide information aboutphase and gain margin degradation. For most sensors the gain crossover in

typical control laws is known approximately. Phase crossover is not as easilydetermined. A reasonable first cut would be to define the control band asapproximately ten times the open loop crossover frequency with the expectationthat beyond this range control law gain is low enough to prevent gain marginproblems. However, some sensors may have trouble holding a tight gain (andphase) spec over this wide a bandwidth. Possibly in these cases a loosening of thespec between open loop crossover and ten times open loop crossover may berequired. With this kind of specification a simple transport delay in combinationwith a gain change can be used for stability analysis or, for slightly more complexcases, simple transfer functions can be used to approximately fit the spec. Theimportant point here is not to constrain the sensor designer to a first order orsecond order or any specific implementation, but to rather bound in a simple yetusable sense the stability degradation the sensor can introduce. The importantstability characteristics are defined concisely below.

• Control Band – That band of frequencies over which magnitude and phasecharacteristics of the sensor are important to the control system stability.

• Magnitude Constraint – The bounds (envelope) on the permissible gainvariation in a linear frequency response sense that are permissible over thecontrol band.

• Phase Constraint – The bounds (envelope) on the permissible phase variationin a linear frequency response sense that are permissible over the controlband.

Potential Measurement Technique

These quantities could be measured by providing a sinusoidal input stimuli atselected frequencies in the control band using a mid-range amplitude. At eachfrequency the output component of interest (assuming some distortion) will be theoutput component whose frequency corresponds to the input frequency. Thephase and amplitude of this component of this component relative to the forcingfunction will provide the magnitude and phase information. In the terminology ofnonlinear system analysis, this procedure yields and empirically deriveddescribing function for the sensor over the control band. If amplitude dependentnonlinearities are severe, more than one amplitude of forcing function may haveto be used with the procedure repeated at each amplitude.

III. Signal Degradation

In this area we are concerned with what the sensor may have done to degrade thesignal. The thrust here is not stability but performance. Figure 2 presents a viewof sensor and signal characteristics that is useful in this context. In Figure 2 someimportant sources of signal degradation are illustrated. The term “noise” is usedsomewhat loosely in Figure 2 to denote degradation sources. Process noise andinstallation noise are inherent in the signal impinging on the sensor – the formerbeing things such as gust noise and beam noise and the latter being effects such asEMI, mounting errors, etc. Within the sensor itself there is internally generatednoise such as shot noise from resistors, EMI from digital buses, etc. that isindependent of the input signal. In a radio receiver this is the kind of noise that ismeasured at the output when the input is shorted. Note that this “noise” can alsoinclude bias and drift effects. If there is a digital sampling process in the sensor,some aliasing of the input signal spectrum will occur. This aliased energy mayalso be regarded as noise.

The other inherent sensor degradation is more difficult to deal with, however, forit is signal dependent. A familiar analog example is input amplitude dependentcharacteristics such as saturation effects that only become significant abovecertain input amplitudes. Another is nonlinearities that produce harmonicdistortion under sine wave excitation as shown in the example below.

Harmonic Distortion

Consider square law distortion in an otherwise linear sensor. Let the sensoroutput be

y(t) = x(t) + kx(t)²

Where x(t) is the sensor input and let x(t) = sinwt. Then

y(t) = sinwt + ksin²wt

y(t) = sinwt ± cos2wt

Note that d.c. and second harmonic components as well as the forcing frequencyappear at the output. In digital systems a similar effect occurs when multiple ratesare introduced, such as signals being received at one rate from a digital bus andbeing used at a different rate by a software program. If the analog signalsoriginally sampled and put on the bus were sinusoidal at one frequency then, ingeneral, frequency components less than and greater than the input frequency (aswell as the input frequency) appear after the second sampler. The amplitude andnumber of these spurious outputs is a function of the two sampling rates as well asthe input frequency. The net effect of all such internal sensor effects isobservable by subtracting sensor input from sensor output to yield measurementerror as shown in Figure 2.

Measurement Error

The involved nature of what can happen to the signal within the sensor as shownin Figure 2 is the source of ambiguity in conventional “accuracy” specs. Sincemeasurement noise can be dependent on input amplitude as well as spectralcharacteristics, it is not possible to specify it with a single and simple metric. Itshould also be apparent that measurement error must be addressed statisticallysince a significant portion of the input, process noise, is only describable as arandom process.1 Technically the input signal is also in general a randomprocesses influenced by such things as the gust striking the aircraft. Gusts alsocan only be described as random processes.

1 Recognizing that a complete description of a random process includes not onlyprobability distributions but also spectral characteristics.

To evaluate the spectral characteristics of measurement error will require testswhich force the system with noise type inputs. Exponentially correlated noise ofspecified variance and correlation time (or bandwidth) should be sufficient inmost cases. If a sensor is known to be susceptible to a specific type of noise,however, that noise should be included in the test. Often it will be useful toseparate out the low frequency or d-c components of measurement error sincethese may be more tolerable in some applications than dynamic errors. A set oftests that will measure these characteristics is described below.

Modified Signal to Noise Ratio (MSN)

Force the sensor with random noise of specified rms value (σ) and correlationtime (τ). Determine the power spectral density (PSD) of the input signal to thesensor. Determine the PSD of the measurement error. Plot the two PSD’s on acommon plot as shown in Figure 3. Define a modified signal to noise ratio(which will be a function of frequency) as the square root of noise ratio at eachfrequency of signal PSD amplitude to measurement error PSD. Note in theexample shown in Figure 3 there is a bulge in the measurement error around zerofrequency. This effect would indicate d-c bias and possibly low frequency biasdrift from the sensor. This effect may or may not be important depending onwhether the application permits washing out low frequency components, e.g. in acomplementary filter. In the range of frequencies where accurate sensor responseis required, it is suggested that appropriate values for the modified signal to noise(MSN) will be 100 to 1000. Roughly, these numbers correspond to noise power

being 1% to .1% of signal power at each frequency or noise being 40 to 60 dbdown from signal. The relationship between MSD and ordinary signal to noisecan be understood by assuming both signal and noise PSD’s are flat over a bandof frequencies ∆w as shown in Figure 3. Let the value of the signal PSD in thisband be So, then rms signal power in the band ∆w is given by So*w. Similarly,rms error power is given by Po*w . Therefore conventional signal to noise over theband w is given by . Requiring that this signal to noise be 100 is equivalent torequiring that noise power be 1% of signal power over this band. Carrying thisback to the MSN implies that MSN (w) = = 100 over the band ∆w. Theabove also represents the motivation for considering square root of the ratio thanthe ratio directly.

Amplitude Dependent Nonlinearities

The approach described above tests for input frequency dependent degradations byproviding a realistic input spectrum. It should be realized that if there are

amplitude dependent degradations, the MSN analysis will yield different answersdepending on the rms value of the input noise. It is suggested that the MSNmeasurement be done with worst case input noise, i.e., largest rms and bandwidththat will be encountered. In some cases alternate MSN specs for different flightregimes may be appropriate.

In many cases a more explicit presentation of the amplitude dependent non-linearities may be desirable. A good example here is localizer receiver linearity,specified as being linear within a given percentage up to .155 DDM, a largerpercentage from .155 to .310 DDM and not decreasing between .310 and .400DDM. Such a specification is important in defining localizer capture laws, whereone can begin “using” the signal crudely before it is linear or precisely accurate. Itshould be noted that this is a slightly different use of sensor data than for precisestate control, i.e. the control is carrying the system to a prescribed state ratherthan maintaining it at a prescribed state in the presence of noise. Normally thelatter operation will require more accurate information from the sensor. Theamplitude dependent degradations should be measured statically -- that is, oneshould provide a test input at specified amplitude, allow transients to settle, andmeasure the output value.

The important signal degradation terms are defined concisely below. Only thelast two are proposed as parameter characteristics--the first three being definitionsto clarify the last two.

• Measurement Error – The difference between the signal impingingon the sensor and the output representation of that signal by thesensor expressed in consistent units.

• Signal PSD (SPSD) – The power spectral density of the signalimpinging on the sensor.

• Measurement Error PSD (MEPSD) – The power spectral density ofmeasurement error introduced by the sensor.

• Modified Signal to Noise Ratio – A measure primarily of thespectral characteristics of sensor errors defined as the square root ofthe ratio of SPSD and MEPSD at each frequency in the controlband.

i.e., MSN(w) =

• Static Accuracy – A measure of the amplitude dependentcharacteristics of sensor errors defined as the difference betweeninput and output signals after all transients have settled.

Potential Measurement Technique

Modified Signal to Noise (MSN) determination requires assuming a randomprocess model for the signal impinging on the sensor. Normally an exponentiallycorrelated signal with specified variance will be sufficient. Empiricallydetermined power spectral densities (using discrete Fourier Transformtechniques) will need to be measured for input signal as well as measurementerror. Static accuracy measurement was described above.

IV. Spectral Characteristics

In this area the digital nature of the system interface must be faced squarely. Thecontrol system designer cannot alter the signal degradation introduced by

the sensor whether it be due to nonlinearities, aliasing, noise, etc. He has greatpotential, however, for making matters worse if he is not alert to potential aliasingproblems that he may introduce. To analyze aliasing precisely he would need aprecise definition of the spectrum of each signal being received on the digital busincluding the update interval for each signal. A more practical approach is toplace an upper bound on the received signal spectrum and then ensuredownstream performance is adequate using this bound as the signal spectrum.These ideas are made more precise below.

Multirate Sampling

A simple model for signals received from a bus and used in a digital processor isshown in Figure 4. We note that the spectrum of the signal on the bus, F1 (s), is aninfinitely replicated version of the analog input spectrum with replicas spaced bythe input sampling frequency F1. We cannot, therefore, speak of the bandwidthof F1 (s) strictly. What we mean here is that a bound is required on each copy inF1 (s). Deriving the spectrum of the signal F2 (s) is beyond the scope of thisdiscussion but a technique has been developed that will yield this spectrum, F2 (s),given the quantities F1, F2, and the shape of the repeated spectrum of F (s) in F1

(s). There is considerable spreading of signal energy in this process withconsiderable “aliasing” potential even if the quantity fc in Figure 4 is much lessthan the Nyquist frequency for both F1 and F2. The “aliasing” inthe spectrum F2 (s) occurs because the second sampler is not operating on aproperly band limited function (see Figure 4) due to the “infinite replica” natureof the spectrum F2 (s).

Deterministic Versus Random Signals

The discussion above did not specify whether the original analog quantity was adeterministic signal or a random process. For deterministic cases we deal withthe Fourier transforms of the signals involved. However, as pointed out inSection III the signals of interest are really describable only in terms of randomprocesses. For this case the development must proceed in terms of power spectraldensity of the signals involved. Figure 5 then illustrates the bound on busedsignal PSD that is envisioned. Recall that white noise through a lowpass filteryields a PSD that rolls off at 40 db/decade as shown below.

White Noise Input PSD: U(S) = A - ∞ < w < + ∞

Filter Transfer Function: T (jw) = 1

Jτw+1

Output PSD: Y (S) = T(S)T*(S)U(S)

Y(w) = A

τ2w2+1

Adequate roll off chracteristic of the digitally bused data reduces the aliasingproblem of the second sampler if the second sampling is properly performed.However, not only this spectrum but also the frequency F1 enters into the aliasingin F2 (s), therefore, it is desirable also to carefully specify F1. This will beaccomplished through the update interval. Assuming F2 is somewhat fixed bycomputer speed and loading considerations, aliasing can be minimized for a giveninput spectrum by making F1 as high relative to F2 as possible.

The important spectral characteristic terms are defined concisely below.

• Update Interval – The cyclic time interval, as measured at the DITS businterface, between transmissions of new freshly sensed and converted/derivedvalues of the parameter.

DESIGN PARAMETERS FOR DIGITAL AVIONIC SYSTEMSPrepared by

Boeing Commercial Airplane CompanyREVISION A

Summary

This paper explains the necessity for defining presampling filtercharacteristics, transport delays and minimum update rates for digital andnoise characteristics are discussed. A design procedure for selecting therequired filter characteristic and update rate is presented.

Introduction

The new generation of commercial aircraft will use digital technology toimplement many functions, which were traditionally performed withanalog hardware. These functions include inner and outer servo loops foraircraft control and guidance, processing and filtering signals fromnavigation and other sensors, and filtering of data prior to its display oncockpit instruments. Digital technology will also replace the majority ofthe formerly analog communication paths between systems, sensors,instruments and actuators.

A basic property of these and other digital systems is that they onlyprocess or transfer values of data from discrete points in time. Thecontrast between the discrete time nature of a digital system and thecontinuous time nature of an analog system is shown in Figure 1. Analogsystems are said to operate in the continuous time domain while digitalsystems are said to operate in the discrete time domain.

In order for discrete time digital systems to be used to process or transferthe inherently continuous time data from real world physical systems,samples of the continuous data must be taken at periodic intervals. Thesesamples from discrete points in time can then be used as the input to thediscrete time digital system. It is intuitively obvious that the intervalbetween samples affects the accuracy with which the continuous time datais represented by the discrete samples. It is also obvious that rapidlyvarying signals should be sampled more often than slowly varying signalsin order to maintain an adequate representation of the continuous analogdata. Selection of a proper sampling rate for each signal is a design taskunique to digital systems. An understanding of the Sampling Theorem isnecessary in order to make the proper trade offs between sampling rate,signal-to-noise ratio, signal delay, and system complexity.

The Sampling Theorem

The Sampling Theorem states that a signal which contains no frequencycomponents higher than fo Hertz can be exactly recovered from a set of itssamples if the samples are spaced no further apart than ½ fo seconds. Thisis equivalent to requiring that the sampling frequency be greater thantwice the highest frequency component of the signal.

The reason for this requirement can be shown by examing the frequencyspectrum of the sampler output. Modeling the sampling operation as themultiplication of the input signal by an impulse train as shown in Figure 2allows the sampler output spectrum to be computed from a FourierTransform identity. The required identity states that time domainmultiplication is equivalent to frequency domain convolution. Therefore,the output spectrum is found by convolving the input spectrum with thespectrum of the impulse train. This relationship is shown in Figure 3.The convolution operation has the effect of reproducing the spectrum ofthe input signal about zero frequency and at all harmonics of the samplingfrequency. If the sampling frequency, 1/Ts, is greater than twice fo thespectral components centered about the sampling frequency and itsharmonics will not overlap the spectral component centered about zerofrequency. Therefore, the spectral component centered about zero, whichis identical to the input spectrum, can be obtained by passing the sampledoutput through a low pass filter with a bandwidth of fo Hz.

Application of the Sampling Theorem to Digital Avionics Systems

The discussion of the Sampling Theorem in the preceding section hasshown that a signal which contains no frequency components higher thanfo Hz. can be exactly represented by a series of samples spaced no furtherapart than ½ fo seconds. However, signals, which represent physicalquantities, such as those processed by avionic systems never satisfy thestrict bandwidth limitation requirement stated above. Therefore exactreproduction of the original signal from its samples is not possible. Theeffect of the non-bandlimited nature of signals is to distort the replicareconstructed from the samples. The shaded area shown in Figure 4represents typical high frequency signal energy which distorts the lowfrequency portion of the signal spectrum. The high frequency portion ofthe signal takes on the identity of the lower frequencies, hence the name“aliasing” for this phenomenon.

Aliasing becomes a greater problem when the signal is corrupted by noise,which has a wider bandwidth than the signal. When this occurs bothsignal energy and noise energy which is beyond one half of the samplingfrequency is aliased into the low frequency portion of the recoveredsignal. This effect is shown in Figure 5. The signal-to-noise ratio isdegraded by both noise and signal components which are aliased into thelow frequency portion of the signal spectrum. The effect of aliasing canbe decreased by sampling the incoming signal at a higher rate and/or usinga presampling filter to reduce the bandwidth of the signal prior tosampling. Neither of these approaches can ever completely eliminate the

effect of aliasing and they each result in some negative impact on theoverall system.

An increase in the sampling rate requires more computations to be done ina given period of time. This requires more computational resources,which increases the weight, complexity, and power requirements of thecomputer subsystems. The use of a presampling filter to limit thebandwidth prior to sampling distorts the signal. It also increases the delayexperienced by signals as they propagate through the system. Theincrease in delay reduces phase margin if the signal is used in a closedloop control system. Therefore, more stringent delay requirements mustbe placed on other components in the loop if the system phase margin isto remain constant.

Design Tradeoffs for Digital Avionics Systems

The final choices of sample rate and presampling filter depend upon theinput signal and noise spectra, maximum allowable signal-to-noise ratiodegradation due to aliasing, maximum allowable transport delay, availablecomputational resources, and the bandwidth of the system which uses thedata. A practical way to make these choices is to analyze the system forvarious sample rates and filters. This can best be done with the aid of acomputer program which computers the effect of each combination ofsample rate and filter characteristic on the output signal-to-noise ratio forthe defined input signal and noise spectra.

The initial computation is to determine the effect of the prefilter on the in-band signal-to-noise ratio without regard to aliasing effects. A typicalplot of signal-to-noise ratio versus presampling filter bandwidth is shownin the top curve of Figure 6. This curve forms a baseline against whichsignal-to-noise ratio degradation caused by aliasing can be compared.The signal-to-noise ratio is determined by computing the input signalpower and input noise power, which is passed by the selected prefilter.This parameter will generally exhibit a peak value at a specific bandwidth.The signal-to-noise ratio will decrease with increasing bandwidth as morenoise is admitted and decrease with decreasing bandwidth as signal energyis eliminated.

The filter order is an important design parameter because higher orderfilters roll off more rapidly near the cutoff frequency. Therefore higherorder filters admit less noise and signal from beyond the cutoff frequencythan low order filters. Because of this characteristic, high order filtersalias no more noise into the signal than slightly narrower bandwidth loworder filters. However, high order filters delay the signal more than loworder filters.

The ultimate objective of the design task discussed in this paper is toachieve acceptable system performance with the minimum possible

sampling rate. System performance is adversely affected by largepropagation delays and high in-band noise levels.

If the maximum allowable propagation delay is given, the minimumusable filter bandwidth can be found standard plots of group delay versusfrequency for the type and order of filter considered. (See for exampleReference 1, page 112.) This minimum bandwidth is plotted on Figure 6as a vertical line. The maximum achievable signal-to-noise ratio isconstrained by the requirement for a presampling filter wide enough tolimit delay to the given value. The intersection of the minimumbandwidth line with the top curve of Figure 6 gives the maximumachievable signal-to-noise ratio i.e., the signal-to-noise ratio which wouldbe achieved by an unsampled system.

Sampling rate is chosen by comparing the maximum acceptabledegradation in signal-to-noise ratio to the actual aliasing degradation dueto sampling at the candidate rates. For the example shown in Figure 6, asampling rate of 50Hz would be chosen.

A system interface which meets prescribed limits on signal delay andmaximum noise due to aliasing can be designed using the proceduresoutlined above. Some systems which use sampled data, such as closedloop control systems, have a bandwidth which is much smaller than thatof the sampling filter. For this reason it is important to verify that thesignal and noise power which is aliased into the frequency band of interestis well below the inherent noise in that band.

This can be accomplished by constructing a signal and noise powerspectral density plot for the filter and sampling rate chosen. The powerspectral density plot is most easily obtained with the aid of a computerprogram. A typical plot of this type is shown in Figure 7. The examplepower spectral densities in Figure 7 show that the aliased signal and noiseis much lower than the inherent noise level in the frequency range ofinterest. If this constraint is not met a different combination of filter andsampling frequency must be chosen.

In some situations it may be desired to reduce the sampling rate of adigitally encoded signal. This may be done where wideband digital datais used to drive an instrument or subsystem which responds only tonarrower bandwidth data. Simple deletion of unwanted samples to reducethe sampling rate can cause aliasing problems similar to those encounteredwhen sampling an analog signal at an insufficient rate. The aliasing canbe elimination of the unwanted samples. Design of the digital filter issubject to the same set of delay versus aliasing noise tradeoffs as thedesign of an analog presampling filter.

Conclusion

The procedures outlined in this paper can be used to choose thepresampling filter and sampling rate required for interfaces to a digitalsignal processing or control system. The values are chosen to meet theconstraints of maximum allowable delay and maximum allowable noise

due to aliasing. Signal and noise spectra of the signal to be sampled mustbe supplied as an input to the design procedure.

The ARINC 429 data bus was developed to provide a standardized means of digital information transfer between the“ARINC 700” series of avionics units. ARINC 429 has proven to be a very flexible standard and its usage has extended toprovide data transfer between Line Replaceable Units (LRU) which are not otherwise covered by ARINC Characteristics. Itis important that each new usage of ARINC 429 be coordinated and indexed by ARINC such that the information on usage(label allocation, data format, etc.) is available industry-wide. The use of the same label for two different functions on aparticular LRU type built by different manufacturers can create serious problems.

To facilitate the coordination of ARINC 429 label usage between the industry and the ARINC staff, a set of guidelines isprovided.

1. New labels should be selected from the five character field as defined in Section 2.3 (three octal and threehexadecimal).

2. The following labels have special significance and should not be used: label 000 (not used) and label 377(equipment identification).

3. The following labels are presently “spare” and should only be used for new parameters which may have verywidespread usage throughout the airplane architecture.

005 040 050 054 107 163 227 371

006 046 051 055 113 167 240

007 047 052 057 124 226 243

4. Where possible, similar word usage should be “grouped”; for example, if Engine N 1 is to be provided from a newunit (PMUX) it should utilize label 246 which is presently N 1 (engine direct).

5. Where possible, grouped usage should have identical data specification (units, range, significant digits/bits, positivesense, resolution, min--max transmit interval). To facilitate this commonality it is permissible for a particular LRUto output a lower resolution signal (fewer significant digits/bits) if the least significant remainder of the data field isset to zeros.

6. Where word grouping is not possible, the labels should be selected from the following subgroups:

Binary coded decimal (BCD) sub-group 001 to 067, 125, 165, 170, 200, 201,230 to 237.

Binary (BNR) subgroup 070 to 124, 126 to 144, 150 to 154, 162 to 164, 166, 167, 171 to 177, 202 to 227, 240 to257, 262 to 265, 267, 310 to 347, 360 to 376.

Mixed BCD and BNR subgroup 260, 261

Discretes subgroup 145 to 147, 270 to 276

Maintenance and discrete data subgroup 155, 156

Maintenance data subgroup 157 to 161, 350 to 354

Test word subgroup 266, 277

Application dependent subgroups 300 to 307

Acknowledgement subgroup 355

Maintenance ISO #5 subgroup 356

ISO #5 message subgroup 357

8. The data should be fully defined by Equipment ID and the label and the Source Destination Indicator (SDI). Itshould not be necessary to decode additional bits in the word to correctly interpret the data field.

9. The equipment ID should be allocated as the two least significant digits of the 7XX ARINC equipmentspecification, if one exists. For equipment not otherwise covered by an ARINC Specification, an equipment IDshould be allocated with a non-numeric value of the hexadecimal character set as the least significant digit.

10. Equipment ID of 000 (HEX) should not be used.

11. The SDI code should indicate the aircraft installation number of the source equipment, in a multi-system installation,as described in 2.1.4.

APPENDIX XCHRONOLOGY & BIBLIOGRAPHY

X-l.0 Chronology

AEEC established the Systems Architecture and Interfaces (SAI) Subcommittee in 1975 to develop the air transportindustry’s approach to digital avionics systems architecture, to define digital system interface standards. With respect to thislast-named, the Subcommittee soon determined that the industry’s previous approaches to digital information transfer,described in ARINC Specification 419, “Digital Data System Compendium”, needed rationalization and modernization to beapplicable in the future digital systems world. However, this work was not started immediately because of the need toconcentrate on the more basic tasks related to digital systems architecture.

About a year later, AEEC deemed it timely to start the spec-writing for a digital automatic flight control system based on thesystem architecture concepts developed by the SAI Subcommittee. The Subcommittee AEEC established to do this began itswork in January 1977. Part of this activity was the definition of black box interface standards, and this brought into sharpfocus the need for the new digital information transfer system to be properly specified.

The SAI Subcommittee immediately began to devote time to the discussion of the issues involved to give direction to theDigital Information Transfer System (DITS) working group it set up to develop a spec draft. This group met early in April1977, and produced a draft which the full Subcommittee reviewed at its meeting in May. A second working group meetingduring the period of that Subcommittee meeting, followed by a third in mid-June, produced the second draft of the spec. Thisdraft was submitted to AEEC for adoption, which was achieved at the Summer 1977 General Session in July.

The spec adopted by AEEC contained details of numeric data (BNR and BCD) transfer only. The SAI Subcommitteenotified AEEC of its intent to broaden the scope of the document to cover alpha/numeric (ISO Alphabet No. 5) and graphicdata handling also. These subjects would be addressed in a Supplement to the spec which AEEC would be asked to approveat a later date.

MARK 33 DIGITAL INFORMATION TRANSFER SYSTEM (DITS)

Published: June 1, 1978

Prepared by the Airlines Electronic Engineering Committee

Adopted by the Airlines Electronic Engineering Committee: April 11, 1978

Page 192: ARINC 429-16

SUPPLEMENT 1 TO ARINC SPECIFICATION 429 - Page 2

A. PURPOSE OF THIS SUPPLEMENT

This Supplement adds to Specification 429 materialrelated to the transfer of graphic and ISO alphabet No. 5encoded alpha/numeric data by the Mark 33 DITS. Also,it clarifies the purpose of the SDI function, adds BCD andBNR numeric data encoding examples to Attachment 6and introduces two Appendices into the Specification.

B. ORGANIZATION OF THIS SUPPLEMENT

The first part of this document, printed on goldenrodpaper, contains descriptions of the changes introducedinto the Specification by this Supplement, and, whereappropriate, extracts from the original text for comparisonpurposes. The second part consists of replacement whitepages for the Specification, modified to reflect thesechanges. The modified and added material on eachreplacement page is identified with “c-1” symbols in themargins. Existing copies of Specification 429 may beupdated by simply inserting the replacement white pageswhere necessary and destroying the pages they replace.The goldenrod pages should be inserted inside the rearcover of the Specification.

Copies of the Specification bearing the number 429-1already contain this Supplement and thus do not requirerevisions by the reader.

C. CHANGES TO SPECIFICATION 429INTRODUCED BY THIS SUPPLEMENT

This section presents a complete tabulation of the changesand additions to the Specification introduced by thisSupplement. Each change or addition is identified by thesection number and title currently employed in theSpecification, or by the section number and title that willbe employed when the Supplement is eventuallyincorporated. In each case there is included a briefdescription of the addition or change and, for other thanvery minor revisions, any text originally contained in theSpecification is reproduced for reference.

1.3.2 ISO Alphabet No. 5 Data Transfer

Existing text supplemented – no other changes.

1.3.3 Graphic Data Transfer

New section added by this Supplement.

2.1.2 Information Element

COMMENTARY

revised to improved clarity of opening sentence, andto modify the statement concerning the BCD-encoding of latitude and longitude as a consequenceof the clarification of the use priorities for bit nos. 9and 10 introduced into Section 2.1.4 by thisSupplement.

ORIGINAL TEXT FOLLOWS

To permit the use of common hardware elements for thetransmission of BNR and BCD numeric data, the formatfor the Mark 33 DITS BCD word differs from that usedformerly for this type of data. Bit no. 32 is assigned toparity, bit nos. 31 and 30 to the sign/status matrix, bit no.29 is the most significant bit of the data field, and themaximum decimal value of the most significant characteris 7. Previously, the BCD word contained no parity bit,the sign/status matrix occupied bit nos. 32 and 31, bit no.30 was the most significant data bit and the maximumdecimal value of the most significant character was 3.This format made the word 8-bit byte oriented withrespect to the data. This characteristic is not retained inthe Mark 33 system.

Also, the Mark 33 BCD word will not accommodatelatitude and longitude to the formerly specified resolutionof 0.1 minute of arc. If BCD transmission of thesequantities in required, either the resolution must bedecreased or the word must be restructured.Restructuring involves limiting the maximum decimalvalue of the most significant character to 1, moving theremaining BCD characters towards the MSB by two bitpositions and using bit nos. 9 and 10 for data instead ofreserving them for source/destination identificationencoding per Section 2.1.4 of this document. It isprobable, however, that future latitude and longitudedisplays will not be the simple, dedicated read-out typefor which BCD data is intended. More likely is the use ofsome form of multiple-message display, such as a CRT,which will be backed by its own data processor and preferinputs of BNR data. If this proves to be the case, therewill be no problem!

2.1.3 Information Identifier

Text expanded to explain differing roles of label codes innumeric (BCD/BNR) and alpha/numeric (ISO AlphabetNo. 5) data transfer. “Special Note” added.

ORIGINAL TEXT FOLLOWS

The first eight bits of each word are assigned to a labelfunction so that the data contained in the word may beidentified. Label code assignments are set forth in thetable of Attachment 1 to this document.

2.1.4 Source/Destination Identifier

Section modified to indicate that bit nos. 9 & 10 are notavailable for the SDI function in DITS words employedfor graphic and ISO Alphabet No. 5 data transfer, or inBNR/BCD words in which bit nos. 9 and 10 are neededfor valid data in order to achieve the desired resolution.Code table revised and function application more fullydescribed. Consequential revisions to Commentary.

Page 193: ARINC 429-16

SUPPLEMENT 1 TO ARINC SPECIFICATION 429 - Page 3

ORIGINAL TEXT FOLLOWS

Bit nos. 9 & 10 of the word should be reserved for a datasource/destination identification function. This functionmay find application when specific words need to bedirected to a specific system of a multi-system installationor when the source system of a multi-system installationneeds to be recognizable from the word content. Whenthe source/destination identifier function is used, bit nos.9 & 10 should be encoded as follows. When it is notused, binary zeros or valid data should be transmitted inthese positions

Bit No.10 9 System

0 0 10 1 21 0 31 1 4

.COMMENTARY

In many applications of the Mark 33 DITS, datasource/destination identification will not be needed.In these cases, bits 9 & 10 will be used as pad bits forvalid data. In certain other applications of thesystem, for example, BCD latitude and longitudeencoding (if needed – see Commentary followingSection 2.1.2 of this document), the need to use bitnos. 9 and 10 to obtain adequate data resolution willpreclude source/destination identification in this way.

Note that this document does not address thepractical question of how these bits will be set inthose multi-system installations in which thesource/destination identification function is desired.One way would be to use program pins on individualsystem black boxes which would be wired to set upthe appropriate code. The ARINC Characteristicsdevoted to the individual systems will define themethod actually to be used.

2.1.5 Sign/Status Matrix

Section divided into two sub-sections, one to describe theBCD numeric and ISO Alphabet #5 alpha/numeric datasign status matrix, and the other to describe the BNRnumeric data sign/status matrix.

ORIGINAL TEXT FOLLOWS

The “sign” (plus, minus, north, south, etc.) of thetransmitted data and the status of the transmitter hardwareshould be encoded in bit nos. 30 and 31 as shown in thetable below.

DesignationBit No.

31 30 BNR/BCD Data ISO # 5 Data

0 0 Plus, North, EastRight, To

Notes:1. A source system should indicate failure by ceasing to

supply data to a bus.

2. Both bits should be “zero” in BNR and BCD wordswhen no sign is needed.

3. The “no computed data” code should be generatedwhen computed data is not available for reasons otherthan equipment failure.

4. When is appears in a word identified by its label as asystem output, the “functional test” code should beinterpreted as advice that the data in the word resultsfrom the execution of a functional test. When itappears in a word identified by its label as aninstruction, e.g., a radio channel change command,this code should be interpreted as a command toperform a functional test.

2.1.6 Data Standards

Typographical errors corrected in second paragraph ofCommentary.

2.2.1 Transmission System Interconnect

Existing material supplemented with informationconcerning shield grounding.

2.2.3.2 Receiver Voltage Levels

DC levels between terminal A and ground and terminal Band ground at which receivers should not be damagedraised from +20VDC to +28VDC (min) and for –20VDCto –28VDC (min) respectively to align numerical valueswith aircraft DC power supply value.

2.3.1.3 ISO Alphabet No. 5 Data

New section added by this Supplement.

2.4.1 Bit Rate

2.1.2 INFORMATION ELEMENT

Text revised to describe word application groups.

ORIGINAL TEXT FOLLOWS:

2.1.2 Information Element

The basic information element is a digital wordcontaining 32 bits. Word formats for the different typesof data handled by the Mark 33 DITS (see Section 2.3.1of this document) are depicted in Attachment 6. Whenless than the full data field is needed to accommodatethe information conveyed in a word in the desiredmanner, the unused bit positions should be filled withbinary zeros or valid data pad bits. If valid data bits are

used, the resolution possible for the information willexceed that called for in this specification. TheCommentary following Section 2.1.6 of this documentrefers.

2.1.3 INFORMATION IDENTIFIER

Text revised to describe label use forAIM/Discrete/Maintenance data word typeidentification.

ORIGINAL TEXT FOLLOWS:

2.1.3 Information Identifier

The first eight bits of each word are assigned to a labelfunction. Labels will a) identify the informationcontained within numeric (BCD/BNR) data words (e.g.,DME distance, static air temperature), and b) act asreceiving device addresses for alpha/numeric (ISOAlphabet No. 5) data words (e.g., navigation systemCDU or map display). Label code assignments are setforth in Attachment 1 to this document.

2.1.5.2 BNR Numeric Data Words

The sign (plus, minus, north, south, etc.) of BNRnumeric data words and the status of the transmitterhardware should be encoded in bit nos. 29, 30 and 31 ofthe word as shown in the table below.

Notes:

1. A source system should annunciate any detectedfailure that causes one or more of the wordsnormally output by that system to be unreliable bysetting bit nos. 30 and 31 in the affected word(s) tothe “failure warning” code defined above. Wordscontaining this code should continue to be suppliedto the data bus during the failure condition.

2. Bit no. 29 should be “zero” when no sign is needed.

3. The “no computed data” code should be generatedwhen computed data is not available for reasonsother than equipment failure.

4. When it appears in a word identified by its label asa system output, the “functional test” code shouldbe interpreted as advice that the data in the wordresults from the execution of a functional test. Aself-test should produce indications of 1/8 ofpositive full-scale values unless indicated otherwisein an ARINC Equipment Characteristic.

5. If, during the execution of a functional test, asource system detects a failure which causes one ormore of the words normally output by that systemto be unreliable, it should immediately change thestates of bit nos. 30 and 31 in the annunciation isreplaced with the “failure warning” annunciation

2.2.3.1 TRANSMITTER VOLTAGE LEVELS

Tolerances on “HI” and “LO” voltage states changedfrom ± 0.5 volt to ± 1.0 volt to correct previouslyundetected error.

2.3.1.2 DISCRETES

Minor changes to existing wording to improve clarity.New paragraphs added to describe two types ofdedicated –to-discrete words and their applications.

ORIGINAL TEXT FOLLOWS:

2.3.1.2 Discretes

In addition to handling numeric data as specified above,the Mark 33 DITS should also be capable ofaccommodating discrete items of information, either inthe “spare” bits of data words or, when necessary, indedicated words. Any discrete information contained ina word assigned a label in Attachment 1 is specified inthe definition for that word in Attachment 2.

The rule to be followed in the assignment of bits todiscrete functions is to start with the least significant bitavailable in the word and to continue towards the mostsignificant bit. Attachment 6 shows this against thebackground of the generalized word structure.

2.3.1.3 Maintenance Data (General Purpose)

This section inserted to describe use and application ofgeneral purpose Maintenance words.

ORIGINAL TEXT FOLLOWS:

2.3.1.3 Alpha/Numeric (ISO Alphabet No. 5) Data

ISO Alphabet No. 5 alpha/numeric data will consist ofseven-bit characters encoded per the table ofAttachment 5 to this document. Three such charactersshould occupy bit nos. 9 through 29 of a DITS 32-bitword, as shown in the general word format diagram inAttachment 6. As for numeric (BCD) data words, bitnos. 1 through 8 should be the word label (receivingdevice address-see Section 2.1.3), bit nos. 30 and 31 thesign/status matrix and bit no. 32 the word parity bit.

The typical alpha/numeric message contains more thanthree ISO Alphabet No. 5 characters, necessitating thetransmission of multi-DITS-word messages. Thefollowing procedure should be used to permit receiversto determine that such messages are received in theirentirety, with no words having been “lost along theway”. Only when this determination has been made,and the parity check for each word shows the data to beerror-free, should the message be displayed to theaircrew or otherwise utilized.

Page 198: ARINC 429-16

SUPPLEMENT 2 TO ARINC SPECIFICATION 429 - Page 4

2.3.1.3 Alpha/Numeric (ISO Alphabet No. 5) Data (cont’d)

The first DITS word of the message should contain thelabel in bit nos. 1 through 8, two numeric charactersencoded per ISO Alphabet No. 5 in bit nos. 9 through15 and 16 through 22 and the ISO Alphabet No. 5control character “STX”in bit nos. 23 through 29. Thetwo numeric characters should indicate the decimalnumber of DITS words in the message (maximumnumber is 99), with the most significant characteroccupying bit nos. 16 through 22. This count, whichshould include this initial word, will be one plus thenext whole number greater than one third of the numberof ISO Alphabet No. 5 characters to be transmitted. Thesign/status matrix should contain the “initial word” codedefined in Section 2.1.5 of this document.

The subsequent DITS words of the message should eachcontain the label in bit nos. 1 through 8 and three ISOAlphabet No. 5 characters. The sign/status matrix of allthese words except the last word should contain the“intermediate word” code defined in Section 2.1.5.1 ofthis document. The last word of the message shouldcontain the “final word” code in its sign/status matrix.Any unused bit positions in the final word resultingfrom the number of ISO characters in the message beingone or two less than a number wholly divisible by threeshould be filled with binary “zeros”.

2.3.1.4 AIM Data

Section number, text and title revised to include otherAIM word applications in material originally preparedto describe ISO Alphabet No. 5 data handling(originally in Section 2.3.1.3). Detailed amendments inthis area also.

3.1.4.2 DME

The “Override” switching function has been replaced bythe “DME Mode Select” function.

3.1.4.7 ATC TRANSPONDER

“Mode A/B Select” and “Standby” deleted from list ofswitching functions. Control word format re-structuredto release bits unneeded in numeric data part of word forassignment to discrete switching functions.

Fig. 3-1 Radio Systems Management Word Formats

Bit nos. 11 and 12 in the DME data word have beenassigned to “DME Mode Select”.

The description of bit 14 in the VOR/ILS data word hasbeen revised to improve clarity.

ORIGINAL TEXT FOLLOWS:

[1] When bit no. 4 is “zero”, the ILS mode shouldbe “off. When bit no 14 is “one”, the ILSmode should be “one”.

ORIGINAL TEXT FOLLOWS:

2.1.6 Data Standards

The units, ranges, resolutions, refresh rates, number ofsignificant bits, pad bits etc. for the items ofinformation to be transferred by the Mark 33 DITS aretabulated in Attachment 2 to this document.

COMMENTARY

Note that Section 2.3.1.1 of this document calls fornumeric data to be encoded in BCD and binary, thelatter using two’s complement fractional notation.In this notation, the most significant bit of the datafiled represents one half of the maximum valuechosen for the parameter being defined.Successive bits represents the increments of abinary fraction series. Negative number areencoded as the complements of positive values andthe negative sign is annunciated in the sign/statusmatrix.

In establishing a given parameter’s binary datastandards for inclusion in Attachment 2, the units,maximum value and resolution of the parameterare first determined in that order. The leastsignificant bit of the word is then given a valueequal to the resolution increment, and the numberof significant bits is chosen such that the maximumvalue of the fractional binary series just exceedsthe maximum value of the parameter, i.e., equalsthe next whole binary number greater than themaximum parameter value less one leastsignificant bit value. For example, if the Mark 33DITS is required to transfer altitude in units of feetover a range of zero to 100,000 feet with aresolution of one foot, the number of significantbits is 17 and the maximum value of the fractionalbinary series is 131,071 (i.e., 131,071 – 1). Notethat because accuracy is a quality of themeasurement process and not the data transferprocess, it plays no part in the selection of wordcharacteristics. Obviously, the resolution providedin the DITS word should equal or exceed theaccuracy in order not to degrade it.

For the binary representation of angular data, theMark 33 DITS employs “degrees divided by 180o”as the unit of data transfer and ± 1 (semicircle) asthe range for two’s complement fractional notationencoding ignoring, for the moment, the subtractionof the least significant bit value. Thus the angularrange 0 through 359.XXX degrees is encoded as 0through ± 179.XXX degrees, the value of the mostsignificant bit is none half semicircle and there areno discontinuities in the code.

For convenience, all binary word ranges inAttachment 2 are shown as whole binary numbersrather than such numbers less one least significantbit value. Also the resolutions shown areapproximate only. Accurate resolutions can bedetermined, if required, by reference to the rangevalues and numbers of significant bits for thewords of interest.

2.1.6 Data Standards (cont’d)

COMMENTARY (cont’d)

It should be noted that in all applications of thetwo’s complement fractional notation, themaximum value of the word, once chosen, cannotbe changed by the use of more bits in the data field.The number of bits in the word affects only theresolution of the data, not its range.

Binary coded decimal (BCD) data is encoded perthe numeric subset of the ISO Alphabet No. 5 code(see Attachment 5 to this document) using bit nos.1 through 4 of the seven-bit-per-character code.Alpha/numeric data is encoded using all seven bitsper character of the ISO Alphabet #5 code and istransmitted using the special word formatdescribed in Section 2.3.1.3 of this document.

NOTES

1. The number entered in the Range Column for eachparameter that is not angular in nature is thenearest whole binary number greater than theparameter range required. As explained in theCommentary following Section 2.1.6 of thisdocument, the weight of the most significant bit ofthe two’s complement fractional notation binaryword will be one half this value, and the actualmaximum value of the parameter capable of beingencoded will be the number in the range columnless one least significant bit value. The numbersentered in the RANGE column for angularparameters are the actual degree ranges required.The way in which these parameters are encoded isalso explained in the Commentary followingSection 2.1.6.

2. Bit nos. 9 and 10 of the word may be used toachieve a 20 bit capability for high resolution ofthe Lat./Long. Position (codes 310 and 311). Theresulting resolution is .000086o for latitude and.00017 o for longitude.

3. A change in ARINC 707 not shown in Supplement2 is a planned change for Supplement 3. A self-test inhibit bit will be added and the range of thedata word will be halved to a value of 8192 ft.

4. A change in ARINC 710 not shown in Supplement2 is a planned change for Supplement 3. Theresolution of Selected Runway Heading (BCD andBNR) will be changed to .1 o.

A. PURPOSE OF THIS SUPPLEMENT

This Supplement introduces material on defining “NoComputed Data” and “Failure Warning”, priorityassignment of SSM codes, description of fault toleranceand isolation, address capability of A/N messages,command/response protocol, modification of datastandards, addition of new labels, change of some wordformats, addition of material on signal characteristics,change of receiver impedance limits, expansion of thecurrent label, change of the receiver voltage thresholds andmodification of the HF and DME word formats.

B. ORGANIZATION OF THIS SUPPLEMENT

The first part of this document, printed on goldenrod paper,contains description of the changes introduced into theSpecification by this Supplement, and, where appropriate,extracts from the original text for comparison purposes.The second part consists of replacement white pages forthe Specification, modified to reflect these changes. Themodified and added material on each replacement page isidentified with “c-4” symbols in the margins. Existingcopies of Specification 429 may be updated by simplyinserting the replacement white pages where necessary anddestroying the pages they replace. The goldenrod pagesshould be inserted inside the rear cover of theSpecification.

Copies of the Specification bearing the number 429-4already contain this Supplement and thus do not requirerevisions by the reader.

C. CHANGES TO SPECIFICATION 429 INTRODUCEDBY THIS SUPPLEMENT

This section presents a complete tabulation of the changesand additions to the Specification introduced by thisSupplement. Each change or addition is entitled by thesection number and title currently employed in theSpecification, or the section number and title that will beemployed when the Supplement is eventually incorporated.In each case there is included a brief description of theaddition or change and, for other than very minorrevisions, any text originally contained in the Specificationis reproduced for reference.

2.1.3 INFORMATION IDENTIFIER

Text changed to describe use of five-character label.

Commentary text partially deleted.

ORIGINAL TEXT FOLLOWS:

2.1.3 Information Identifier

The first eight bits of each word are assigned to a labelfunction. Label will:

a. identify the information contained within BNRand BCD numeric data words (e.g., DME distance,

static air temperature, etc.) and

b. identify the word application for Discrete, Maintenance and AIM data.

Label code assignments are set forth in Attachment 1 tothis document.

Special Note:

In some ARINC 429 DITS applications, a bus will bededicated to delivering a single information element from asource to one or more identical sink devices. In suchcircumstances, the sink device designer might be temptedto assume that decoding the word label is not necessary.Experience has shown, however, that system developmentsfrequently occur that result in the need for additionalinformation elements to appear on the bus. If a sink devicedesigned for service prior to such a development cannotdecode the original word label, it cannot differentiatebetween this word and the new data in the new situation.The message for sink designers should therefore be quiteclear – provide label decoding from the outset, no matterhow strong the temptation to omit it might be.

COMMENTARY

Attachment 1 defines 256 discrete label codes. Thisquantity is expected to meet label assignment needsfor the foreseeable future. Should additional labelingcapability be required in the longer term, it isenvisaged that, rather than extend the length of thelabel field, a scheme will be devised in which existinglabel assignments are duplicated. For example, thesystem could readily accommodate the assignment ofthe same label to two dissimilar parameters for whichthe probability of transmission on the same bus is verylow.

Adherence to the label code assignments ofAttachment 1 is essential in inter-systemcommunications and in intra-system communicationswhere the system elements are defined as “unitinterchangeable” per ARINC Report No. 403. Theassignment of label codes for all such communicationsmust be coordinated with the air transport industry ifchaos is to be avoided. A manufacturer who finds thatAttachment 1 does not specify the label he needs forsuch system application must not simply choose onefrom those unassigned and “drive on”. He shouldcontact ARINC for assistance.

4. When it appears in a BCD numeric data wordidentified by its (label) as a system output, the“functional test” code should be interpreted as advicethat the data in the word results from the execution ofa functional test. When it appears in a BCD numericdata word identified by its label as an instruction, e.g.,a radio channel change command, this code should beinterpreted as a command to perform a functional test.A self-test should produce indications of 1/8 ofpositive full-scale values unless indicated otherwise inan ARINC Equipment Characteristic.

A source system should annunciate any detectedfailure that causes one or more of the words normallyoutput by that system to be unreliable by setting bitnos. 30 and 31 in the affected word(s) to the “failurewarning” code defined above. Words containing thiscode should continue to be supplied to the data busduring the failure condition.

2. Bit no. 29 should be “zero” when no sign is needed.

3. The “no computed data” code should be generatedwhen computed data is not available for reasons otherthan equipment failure.

4. When it appears in a word identified by its label as asystem output, the “functional test” code should beinterpreted as advice that the data in the word resultsfrom the execution of a functional test. A self-testshould produce indications of 1/8 of positive full-scalevalues unless indicated otherwise in an ARINCEquipment Characteristic.

5. If, during the execution of a functional test, a sourcesystem detects a failure which causes one or more ofthe words normally output by that system to beunreliable, it should immediately change the states ofbits nos. 30 and 31 in the annunciation to the “failurewarning” annunciation.

2.1.5.3 STATUS PRIORITIES

New section inserted.

2.2.1 TRANSMISSION SYSTEM INTERCONNECT

Commentary expanded to provide description of possiblesolutions to single-wire fault conditions.

ORIGINAL TEXT FOLLOWS:

2.2.1 Transmission System Interconnect

A data source should be connected to the data sink(s) bymeans of a single twisted and shielded pair of wires. Theshields should be grounded at both ends and at allproduction breaks in the cable. The interwiring diagram tobe found in each ARINC Equipment Characteristic showsconnector pins assigned to carry shields into black boxesfor grounding. Equipment manufacturers should ensure,however, that their equipment will operate correctly if,instead of being terminated on these pins, shields aregrounded in the aircraft close to the rack connector.

COMMENTARY

In practical wire line digital information transmissionsystems, cable characteristics and electricalmismatches can produce distortion of the digital datapulses. Also, noise due to electrical interferenceperturbs digital signals.

The performance of a digital receiver depends uponthe receiver input signal characteristics (data withdistortion and noise) and the receiver design.

Prior to the selection of the voltage and impedanceparameters set forth in this Section of this document,the pulse distortion likely to be encountered in systemsbuilt around them in existing size commercial aircraftwas evaluated and judged to be acceptable for a well-designed receiver. No restriction is placed by thisspecification, therefore, on the number or length ofsturbs for installations on aircraft no larger than thoseexisting, e.g., B 747. See Appendix 1 to thisdocument for a report of this investigation.

2.2.3.1 TRANSMITTER VOLTAGE LEVELS

Text changed to improve clarity.

ORIGINAL TEXT FOLLOWS:

2.2.3.1 Transmitter Voltage Levels

The differential output signal across the specified outputterminals (balanced to ground at the transmitter) should be+ 10 ± 1.0 volts, 0 ± 0.5 volts and –10 ± 1.0 voltsrespectively for the “HI”, “NULL” and “LO” states whenthe transmitter is open circuit. The output impedance ofthe transmitter should be as specified in Section 2.2.4.1 ofthis document. This output impedance should be presentfor the “HI”, “NULL” and “LO” transmitter outputconditions and also during transitions between these levels.

2.2.3.2 RECEIVER VOLTAGE LEVELS

Receiver voltage thresholds changed.

Fault voltage text deleted.

Commentary revised to include description of receiverreaction to undefined voltages.

ORIGINAL TEXT FOLLOWS:

2.2.3.2 Receiver Voltage Levels

The differential voltage presented at the receiver inputterminals will be dependent upon line length, stubconfiguration and the number of receivers connected. Inthe absence of noise, the normal ranges of voltagespresented to the receiver terminals (A and B) would be:

“HI” +6V to 10V“NULL” +0.5 to –0.5V“LO” -6V to –10V

In practice, these nominal voltages will be perturbed bynoise and pulse distortion. Thus, receivers shouldassociate the following voltage ranges with the three statesindicated:

“HI” +5V to 13V“NULL” +2.5V to –2.5V“LO” -5V to –13V

Receivers should not be damaged by the application of upto 20VAC (RMS) across terminals A and B by theapplication of up to +28VDC (min) bias between terminalA and ground and –28VDC (min) bias between terminal Band ground. See Attachment 3 to this document for apictorial representation of transmitter and receiver voltagelevels.

COMMENTARY

Receiver input common mode voltages (terminal A toground and terminal B to ground) are not specifiedbecause of the difficulties of defining ground with anysatisfactory degree of precision. Receivermanufacturers are encouraged to work with thedifferential input voltage (line A to line B) and notline-to-ground voltages.

The opinion is held by some people that conditions ontransmission lines will be encountered which willrequire receivers to operate with less than the above-defined minimum difference of 2.5V between theNULL and HI and NULL and LO states. Receiverdesigners are encouraged to investigate thepossibilities and problems of working with a minimumdifference of 1 volt between these states and to reporttheir findings.

2.2.4.1 TRANSMITTER OUTPUT IMPEDANCE

Text added to improve clarity.

Page 216: ARINC 429-16

SUPPLEMENT 4 TO ARINC SPECIFICATION 429 - Page 5

ORIGINAL TEXT FOLLOWS:

2.2.4.1 Transmitter Output Impedance

The transmitter output impedance should be 75 ± 5 ohms,divided equally between line A and line B to provide animpedance balanced output.

COMMENTARY

The output impedance of the transmitter is specified as75 ± 5 ohms to provide an approximate match to thecharacteristic impedance of the cable. The match canonly be approximate due to the wide range ofcharacteristic impedance which may be encountereddue to the variety of conductor wire gages andinsulation properties. Measurements on a few samplesof wire showed a spread of characteristic impedanceof 63 and 71 ohms. An extrapolation over the wiregages 20 to 26 for wrapped and extruded insulationindicate an expected characteristic impedance spreadof 80 to 60 ohms approx. Twisted shielded wirespecifications do not control the characteristicimpedance of the cable, thus future developments ininsulation techniques may result in cables havingcharacteristic impedances outside the range estimated.

2.2.4.2 RECEIVER INPUT IMPEDANCE

Value of RI changed.

ORIGINAL TEXT FOLLOWS:

2.2.4.2 Receiver Input Impedance

The receiver should exhibit the following characteristics,measured at the receiver input terminals:

Differential Input Resistance RI = 6,000 ohms minimum

Differential Input Capacitance CI = 50pF maximumResistance to Ground RH and RG ≥ 12,000 ohmsCapacitance to Ground CH and CG ≤ 50pF.

No more than twenty receivers should be connected on toone digital data bus and each receiver should incorporateisolation provisions to ensure that the occurrence of anyreasonably probable failure does not cause loss of data tothe others.

See Attachment 4 to this document for a pictorialrepresentation of the input and output circuits standards.

COMMENTARY

The above characteristics apply to differentialamplifier receivers. Opto-isolator technology isprogressing and may soon find application in digitaldata receivers. Opto-isolator receivers imposeslightly greater loads on data buses than differentialamplifier receivers and the way in which they arecharacterized is different. It is probable, however, thata future revision of this Specification will includematerial specifically related to their use.

2.3.1.2 Discretes

Text modified to expand label examples.

Reference to AIDS limitations deleted.

ORIGINAL TEXT FOLLOWS:

2.3.1.2 Discretes

In addition to handling numeric data as specified above,the Mark 33 DITS should also be capable ofaccommodating discrete items of information either in theunused (pad) bits of data words or, when necessary, indedicated words. Any discrete information contained in anumeric data word assigned a label in Attachment 1 isspecified in the definition for that word in Attachment 2.

The rule to be followed in the assignments of bits todiscretes in numeric data words is to start with the leastsignificant bit of the word and to continue towards themost significant bit available in the word. Attachment 6shows that this against the background of the generalizedword structure.

There are two types of discrete words. These are generalpurpose discrete words, and dedicated discrete words. Fivelabels (octal 270-274) are assigned to the general purposewords in Attachment 1. These words should be used inascending label order (starting with octal 270) when thesystem receiving the data can identify its source byreference to the port at which it arrives. The dedicatedwords should be used when the

Page 217: ARINC 429-16

SUPPLEMENT 4 TO ARINC SPECIFICATION 429 - Page 6

2.3.1.2 Discretes (cont’d)

data is intended for the AIDS DFDAU which cannotidentify sources in this way.

COMMENTARY

The foregoing special provisions for the delivery ofdiscrete data to an AIDS were made to compensate forthe number of digital ports required when many portsare used is extremely difficult to achieve, whichnecessitated the development of the special AIDSwords. These words should be limited to AIDSutilization. The few aircraft systems which deliverdiscretes to an AIDS by means of the Mark 33 DITSwill be burdened very little by this. Similarly, theimpact of label use will be small.

2.3.1.4 AIM DATA

Text added to describe unit addressing.

ORIGINAL TEXT FOLLOWS:

2.3.1.4 AIMS Data

AIM data (Acknowledgement, ISO Alphabet No. 5 andMaintenance information encoded in dedicated words)should be handled in the manner described in this Section.

All three of these applications may involve the transfer ofmore than 21 bits per “data package”. Source equipmentshould format such long messages into groups of 32-bitDITS words, each word containing the relevant applicationlabel (see Attachment 1) in bit nos. 1 through 8, and asign/status matrix code in bit nos. 30 and 31.

Bit no. 32 should be encoded to render word parity odd.The first word of each group should contain the sign/statusmatrix code defined for “initial word” in Section 2.1.5.1 ofthis document. It should also contain, in bit nos. 9 through16, the binary representation of the number of words in thegroup, except that when this word is the only word to betransmitted, i.e., the total number of information bits to betransmitted is 13 or less, bit nos. 9 through 16 should all bebinary “zeros”.

When the word application label is assigned in Attachment1 for Acknowledgement Data, bit nos. 17 through 29 ofthis initial word may be used for information transfer.When the word application label is either of those assignedin Attachment 1 for ISO Alphabet No. 5 data transfer orMaintenance Data (ISO Alphabet Not. 5), bit nos. 17through 22 should be binary “zeros” (spares) and bit nos.23 through 29 should take on the pattern of the ISOAlphabet No. 5 control character “STX”.

The second word of the ISO Alphabet No. 5 andMaintenance Data (ISO Alphabet No. 5) applicationgroups is an optional control word containing thesign/status matrix code for “control” information for thedisplay. When it is used, bit nos. 9 through 13 shouldcontain the binary representation of the line count, bit nos.14 through 16 should encode the required color, bit nos. 17and 18 the required intensity, bit nos. 19 and 20 therequired character size and bit no. 21 should indicatewhether or not the display is required to flash. SeeAttachment 6 to this document for the encoding standards.

Bit nos. 22 through 29 of the word should be binary “zero”(spares).

Intermediate words, containing the sign/status matrix codefor “intermediate word”, follow the initial word of thegroup or the control word, when used. Intermediate wordsare optional in the sense that they are only transmitted ifmore words than the initial word and the final word (seebelow) are needed to accommodate the quantity ofinformation to be transferred. When the word applicationgroup label that is assigned in Attachment 1 forAcknowledgement, Data bit nos. 9 through 29 of that wordare available for information transfer. When the wordapplication label is either of those assigned in Attachment1 for ISO Alphabet No. 5 data transfer or MaintenanceData (ISO Alphabet No. 5), bit nos. 9 through 29 of eachword should be divided into three seven-bit bytes (bit nos.9 through 15, 16 through 22 and 23 through 29), each ofwhich contains one ISO Alphabet No. 5 character.

Each AIM application group transmission other thansingle-word transmissions (see below) should beterminated with a word containing the sign/status matrixcode for “final word” defined in Section 2.1.5.1 of thisdocument. The data field of this word should be structuredsimilarly to that of the intermediate word. Any unused bitpositions in ISO Alphabet No. 5) final transfer orMaintenance Data (ISO Alphabet No. 5) final wordsresulting from the number of ISO Alphabet No. 5characters in the message being one or two less than anumber wholly divisible by three should be filled withbinary “zeros”.

2.3.1.5.1 COMMAND/RESPONSE PROTOCOL

Text modified to describe transmitter reaction to lack of“Clear to send”.

ORIGINAL TEXT FOLLOWS:

2.3.1.5.1Command/Response Protocol

File data will consist of both ARINC 429 BNR numericwords and ISO alphabet No. 5 characters. A file maycontain from 1 to 127 records. Each record may containfrom 1 to 126 data words.

A record will contain, at the minimum, one of the eightversions of the “initial word” described in Section2.3.1.5.2. Records in which this initial word contains the“Data Follows” code will also contain from 1 to 126“intermediate words” (data) and a “final word” (errorcontrol). The file data transfer protocol is as follows. Atransmitter having the data to send to a receiver transmits,on the bus connecting it to that receiver, the “Request toSend” initial word. The receiver responds, on the separatebus provided for return data flow, with the “Clear to Send”reply. The transmitter then sends the “Data Follows”initial word, the “intermediate words” and the “finalword”. The receiver processes the error controlinformation in the “final word” and, if no errors arerevealed, closes out the transaction by sending the “DataReceived OK” word to the transmitter.

If the receiver is not ready to accept data when thetransmitter sends its “Request to Send” word, it will so

Page 218: ARINC 429-16

SUPPLEMENT 4 TO ARINC SPECIFICATION 429 - Page 7

indicate in its response (see Section 2.3.1.5.2). Thetransmitter should then wait 200 milliseconds andretransmit the “Request to Send”. The transmitter shouldalso repeat a “Request to Send” transmission 50milliseconds after the initial transmission if no response isobtained from the receiver. An alert should be raised in thesystem containing the transmitter if 4 attempts to obtain a“Clear to Send” response from a receiver are unsuccessful.

If the receiver detects a parity error during thetransmission, it may request an error-correctingretransmission by sending a “Data Received Not OK”word to the transmitter in which is identified the record inwhich the error occurred. The transmitter will interrupt thedata flow and back up to the start of the record soidentified. It will then send a “Data Follows” initial wordidentifying this record as the starting point of theretransmission and recommence its output of data,continuing through the “final word”. The receiver willthen close out the transaction as before.

An error detected by processing the error controlinformation in the “final word” will also result in thereceiver sending a “Data Received Not OK” word to thetransmitter. In the absence of identification of the recordin which the error occurred, this word should contain thesequence number of the first record of the file. Thetransmitter’s response will be to retransmit the whole file.

The receiver can signal loss of synchronization to thetransmitter at any time by sending the“Synchronization Lost” initial word. On receiving thisword the transmitter should curtail the data flow and backup to the beginning of the file. It should then re-establishthat the receiver can accept data by going through therequest-to-send/clear-to-send routine. Having done this itshould send the “Data Follows” initial word, followed bythe data and the “final word”.

The protocol also allows a transmitter to send file sizeinformation to a receiver without any commitment to send,or request to the receiver to accept, the file itself. The“Header Information” initial word is used for this purpose.Additionally, a “Poll” initial word is defined for use insystem in which continuous “handshaking” between twoterminals is desired. The response to a “Poll” word will beeither a “Request to Send” initial word when the polledterminal does have data to transmit, or another “Poll” wordwhen it does not. An exchange of “Poll” words may beinterpreted as the message, “ I have nothing for you, doyou have anything for me?”

2.4.2 INFORMATION RATES

Commentary added to describe refresh rate.

ORIGINAL TEXT FOLLOWS:

2.4.2 Information Rates

The minimum update interval for each item of informationtransferred by the Mark 33 DITS is specified in the tablesof Attachment 2.

Discretes contained within data words will be transferred atthe bit rate and repeated at the update rate of the primarydata. Words dedicated to discretes should be repeatedcontinuously at the rates defined in Attachment 2.

COMMENTARY

The time intervals between successive transmissionsof a given BCD word specified in table 1 ofAttachment 2 to this document are, in general, tooshort for the signal to be of use in driving a displaydevice directly. If the signal was so used, the leastsignificant character of the display would change toorapidly for human perception. Considerations otherthan human factors demand the time intervalsspecified. Thus, display designers should incorporateinto their devices means for selecting those words tobe used for updating the display from the greaterquantity delivered.

A. PURPOSE OF THIS SUPPLEMENT

This Supplement introduces material on fault detection,transmit intervals for words using multiple SDI codes,modification of IRS/AHRS discrete formats, expansionof error control definition, revision of ILS word,addition of new labels and change of existing datastandards.

B. ORGANIZATION OF THIS SUPPLEMENT

The first part of this document, printed on goldenrodpaper, contains descriptions of the changes introducedinto the Specification by this Supplement, and, whereappropriate, extracts from the original text forcomparison purposes. The second part consists ofreplacement white pages for the Specification, modifiedto reflect these changes. The modified and addedmaterial on each replacement page is identified with “c-5” symbols in the margins. Existing copies ofSpecification 429 may be updated by simply insertingthe replacement white pages where necessary anddestroying the pages they replace. The goldenrod pagesshould be inserted inside the rear cover of theSpecification.

Copies of the Specification bearing the number 429-5already contain this Supplement and thus do not requirerevisions by the reader.

C. CHANGES TO SPECIFICATION 429INTRODUCED BY THIS SUPPLEMENT

This section presents a complete tabulation of thechanges and additions to the Specification introducedby this Supplement. Each change or addition is entitledby the section number and title currently employed inthe Specification, or by the section number and title thatwill be employed when the Supplement is eventuallyincorporated. In each case there is included a briefdescription of the addition or change and, for other thanvery minor revisions, any text originally contained inthe Specification is reproduced for reference.

2.2.1 TRANSMISSION SYSTEM INTERCONNECT

Text revised for break connections.

Text added to Commentary describing increase ofvoltage threshold.

ORIGINAL TEXT FOLLOWS:

2.2.1 Transmission System Interconnect

A data source should be connected to the data sink(s)by means of a single twisted and shielded pair of wires.The shields should be grounded at both ends and at allproduction breaks in the cable to an aircraft groundclose to the rack connector.

COMMENTARY

In practical wire line digital informationtransmission systems, cable characteristics andelectrical mismatches can produce distortion of thedigital data pulses. Also, noise due to electricalinterference perturbs digital signals. The

performance of a digital receiver depends upon thereceiver input signal characteristics (data withdistortion and noise) and the receiver design.

Prior to the selection of the voltage and impedanceparameters set forth in this Section of thisdocument, the pulse distortion likely to beencountered in systems built around them inexisting size commercial aircraft was evaluated andjudged to be acceptable for a well-designedreceiver. No restriction is placed by thisspecification, therefore, on the number or length ofstubs for installations on aircraft no larger thanthose existing, e.g., B 747. See Appendix 1 to thisdocument for a report of this investigation.

Tests have shown that some receivers continuedecoding data properly when one side of thetransmission line is open or shorted to ground.When this condition exists noise immunitydecreases and intermittent operation may occur.Users desire protection against non-annunciatedsystem operation in this mode. This protectionmay consist of additional circuitry to detect andannunciate the fault.

2.2.3.2 RECEIVER VOLTAGE LEVELS

Normal voltage ranges changed due to impedancechanges.

ORIGINAL TEXT FOLLOWS:

2.2.3.2 Receiver Voltage Levels

The differential voltage presented at the receiver inputterminals will be dependent upon line length, stubconfiguration and the number of receivers connected.In the absence of noise, the normal ranges of voltagespresented to the receiver terminals (A and B) would be:

“HI” +6.5V to 10V“NULL” +2.5V to –2.5V“LO” -6.5V to –13V

In practice, these nominal voltages will be perturbed bynoise and pulse distortion. Thus, receivers shouldassociate the following voltage ranges with the threestates indicated:

“HI” +6.5V to 13V“NULL” +2.5V to –2.5V“LO” -6.5V to –13V

COMMENTARY

Receiver reaction is currently undefined inSpecification 429 for voltages that fall in the rangejust above and below the “NULL” range.Respective equipment Characteristics should bereferenced for desired receiver response in thisrange. However, it is desirable that all DITSreceivers will discontinue operation when thevoltage levels fall into the undefined regions.Manufacturers are urged, as new equipment isdeveloped, to “design in” the rejection capability.

The opinion is held by some people that conditionson transmission lines will be encountered whichwill require receivers to operate with less than the

Page 226: ARINC 429-16

SUPPLEMENT 5 TO ARINC SPECIFICATION 429 – Page 3

above-defined minimum difference of 4.0Vbetween the NULL and HI and NULL and LOstates. Receiver designers are encouraged toinvestigate the possibilities and problems ofworking with a minimum difference of 1 voltbetween these states and to report their findings.

Receiver input common mode voltages (terminal Ato ground and terminal B to ground) are notspecified because of the difficulties of definingground with any satisfactory degree of precision.Receiver manufacturers are encouraged to workwith the differential input voltage (line A to line B)and not line-to-ground voltages.

2.3.1.5.4 FINAL WORDS

Text added to define checksum.

ORIGINAL TEXT FOLLOWS:

2.3.1.5.4 Final Words

The final word of each record contains error controlinformation. Bit nos. 1 through 8 contain the file label.Bit nos. 9 through 29 contain an error control checksumcomputed from the states of bit nos. 9 through 31 ofeach intermediate word of the record. Bit nos. 30 and31 of this word contain the code identifying it as a finalword. Bit no. 32 is encoded to render word parity odd.

2.3.4 ERROR DETECTION/CORRECTION

Obsolete text deleted.

ORIGIANL TEXT FOLLOWS:

2.3.4 Error Detection/Correction

The last bit of each word should be encoded such thatword parity is rendered odd to allow error detection inreceivers. Note that the parity calculation encompassesall 31 label and information bits of the word. The Mark33 DITS contains no provisions for messageretransmission, the inclusion of redundant bits in wordsor other means of error correction.

2.4.2 INFORMATION RATES

Text added to describe transmission of labels withmultiple SDI codes.

ORIGINAL TEXT FOLLOWS:

2.4.2 Information Rates

The minimum and maximum transmit intervals for eachitem of information transferred by the Mark 33 DITSare specified in the tables of Attachment 2.

COMMENTARY

There are no values given for refresh rates in thisSpecification. However, it is desirable that data berefreshed at least once per transmission. Thosedata actually requiring long processing times or alarge number of samples are the only types notexpected to be refreshed with every transmission.

Discretes contained within data words should betransferred at the bit rate and repeated at the update rateof the primary data. Words dedicated to discretesshould be repeated continuously at the rates defined inAttachment 2.

COMMENTARY

The time intervals between successivetransmissions of a given BCD word specified intable 1 of Attachment 2 to this document are, ingeneral, too short for the signal to be of use indriving a display device directly. If the signal wasso used, the least significant character of thedisplay would change too rapidly for humanperception. Considerations other than humanfactors demand the time intervals specified. Thus,display designers should incorporate into theirdevices means for selecting those words to be usedfor updating the display from the greater quantitydelivered.

Note [2]: Guidance added for transmission intervals oflabels with multiple SDI codes.

ORIGINAL TEXT FOLLOWS:

[2] Transmit intervals and the number of parametersto be transmitted are prime factors in busloading. The interval for transmission ofparameters should fall between the minimumand maximum specified intervals and nominallyshould be near the center of the range at equalintervals between transmissions. When heavybus loading dictates a shift from the center of therange, the shift should be toward the maximumtransmit interval.

ORIGINAL TEXT FOLLOWS:

COMMENTARY

Definitions

Invalid Data – is defined as any data generated by asource system whose fundamental characteristic isthe inability to convey reliable information for theproper performance of a user system. There aretwo categories of invalid data namely, “NoComputed Data” and “Failure Warning”.

No Computes Data – is a particular case of datainvalidity where the source system is unable tocompute reliable data for reasons other than systemfailure. This inability to compute reliable data iscaused exclusively be a definite set of events or

conditions whose boundaries are uniquely definedin the system characteristic. When such acondition exists, the source system shouldannunciate its outputs to be invalid by setting thesign/status matrix of the affected words to the“NCD” code, as defined in sections2.1.5.1 and2.1.5.2. The system indicators may or may not beflagged depending on system requirements.

Failure Warning – is a particular case of datainvalidity where the system monitors have detectedone or more failures. These failures are uniquelycharacterized by boundaries defined in the systemcharacteristic. When such a condition exists, thesource system should annunciate its outputs to beinvalid by either ceasing to supply the affectedwords to the data bus (the case of BCD data andILS-LRRA installations with provisions for theinterruption of AFS BNR data – see ARINCcharacteristics 707 and 710) or by setting thesign/status matrix of the affected words to the“Failure Warning” code (BNR case), as defined insections 2.1.5.1 and 2.1.5.2. The system indicatorsshould always be flagged during a “FailureWarning” condition.

2.1.4 SOURCE DESTINATION IDENTIFIER

Text added to clarify use of SDI on combined source/sinkequipment.

ORIGINAL TEXT FOLLOWS:

2.1.4 Source/Destination Identifier

Bit nos. 9 and 10 of numeric data words should bereserved for a data source/destination identificationfunction. They are not available for this function inalpha/numeric (ISO Alphabet No. 5) data words (SeeSection 2.3.1.3 of this document) or when the resolutionneeded for numeric (BNR/BCD) data necessitates theiruse for valid data. The source/destination identifierfunction may find application when specific words needto be directed to a specific system of a multi-systeminstallation or when the source system of a multi-systeminstallation needs to be recognizable from the wordcontent. When it is used, a source equipment shouldencode its aircraft installation number in bit nos. 9 and10 as shown in the table below. A sink equipment shouldrecognize words containing its own installation numbercode and words containing code “00”, the “all-call” code.

Bit No.10 9

InstallationNo.

0 0 See Note Below0 1 11 0 21 1 3

Note: In certain specialized application of the SDIfunction the all-call capability may be forfeited so thatcode “00” is available as an “installation no. 4” identifier.

When the SDI function is not used, binary zeros or validdata should be transmitted in bit nos. 9 and 10.

COMMENTARY

This document does not address the practicalquestion of how the SDI bits will be set in thosemulti-installation systems in which thesource/destination function is desired. One waywould be to use program pins on the individualinstallation black boxes which would be wired to setup the appropriate code. The ARINC Characteristicsdevoted to the individual systems will define themethod actually to be used.

2.5.5 Word type

The basic definition of “word type” was corrected toinclude bits 31-29 in all bit-oriented words of an LDU.

2.5.6 Protocol Words

This section was added to specifically define the wordtype for protocol words.

2.5.6.1 Protocol Identifier

This section was added to clarify the definition of bits 28-25 for protocol words and to specify the relevant additionfor error conditions.

2.5.6.2 Destination Code

This section was updated, and a commentary added, toclarify the role of the link layer protocol for upwardcompatibility with changing network functionality. Therequirement for Destination code validation is not a linklayer function.

2.5.6.3 Word Count

This section was renumbered.

2.5.7 Request to Send (RTS)

This section was previously titled “Response to TS”, andhas been renumbered. The title was changed forconsistency, and an introductory paragraph added toclarify the basic RTS function.

2.5.7.1 Clear to Send (CTS)

This section was renumbered.

2.5.7.2 Not Clear to Send (NCTS)

This section was renumbered.

2.5.7.3 Destination Busy

This section was renumbered, and an introductoryreplacement paragraph inserted to clarify the “optional”BUSY response, which may be used when a systemcannot accept a transmission by the source in a “timelymanner”. New commentary equates a “timely manner” tothe shorter retry sequence of the NCTS series.

2.5.7.4 No Response to RTS

This section was renumbered, and the ALOHA word wasincluded in the logic for error determination.

2.5.10 Start of Transmission (SOT)

Timer T13 was added as a requirement on the source tobegin transmission of an LDU within a specified intervalafter receipt of the CTS word from the sink.

2.5.10.1 General Format Identifier (GFI)

This section was updated, and commentary added toclarify the role of the GFI in pre-OSI as well as OSIenvironments. Validation of the GFI code is required bya high level entity (network layer) in both environmentsto determine the format of the data words to follow. GFIvalidation is not necessarily a link layer function.

AEEC STAFF NOTE: THESE CHANGESAPPLY TO ARINC 429, PART 3 ONLY.

SUPPLEMENT 14 TO ARINC SPECIFICATION 429 – Page 3

2.5.11 Data

All references to Character Data word formats weredeleted.

2.5.11.3 Character Data Words

This section was deleted. The Character Data Wordformat was removed from Supplement 14, as the format isincompatible with those for Full and Partial Data wordformats. Currently, both binary and character data aretransmitted in octets defined by the other two data wordformats. The special character data format is notrequired.

2.5.12.1 CRC Encoding

References to character data words were deleted. Thetext for equation: M9x) = x16G(x) + R(x) was correctedby moving the “bar” from G(x) to R(x).

2.5.13 Negative Acknowledgement (NAK)

NAK word interpretation was changed to removeconstraint on source for specific order of file sequencing(i.e. Allows source to restart file with new FSN ifnecessary).

2.5.14.1 Duplicate LDU

This first paragraph was rewritten to clarify.

2.5.14.3 Incomplete File Timer

This section was added to allow the sink to discard apartial file of multiple LDUs when the T14 timeoutbetween LDU transmissions is exceeded. It ensures that asource device cannot “lock-up” a sink.

2.5.15 SYN Word

The LDU sequence anomalies which generate a SYNresponse by the sink were clarified.

2.5.16 Response to ACK/NAK/SYN

The T16 timer was introduced to replace T10 and T8. Also,the action taken by the source upon receipt of a SYNword was updated, which relaxes requirements tomaintain a specific File Sequence ordering by the source.

2.5.19 Protocol Initialization

2.5.19.1 Bit-Oriented Protocol Version,

2.5.19.2 ALOHA Response, and

2.5.19.3 Character-429 Determination

This section has been added to replace and expand on thedefinition of the process to determine the link layerprotocol version supported by an interfacing system.These sections replace three sections from Supplement13.

2.3.1.5.1 Bit-Oriented Protocol Determination

2.5.19 ALO Response, and

2.5.20 Bit Protocol Verification

2.6 Windowed Bit-Oriented Protocol

This is a completely new section which contains thesystem description of the new LLC2-like bit-oriented linklayer protocol for 429. It is based on Section 2.5, “Bit-Oriented Communications Protocol”, with expanded textas specified to allow for more efficient use of the 429high (or low) speed data bus through “windowing”. Thedefinition includes provision for a Link Control Wordprior to each LDU.

ATTACHMENT 1 – EQUIPMENT CODES

New Equipment Code Identifiers were added.

ATTACHEMENT 6 – WORD FORMATS ANDENCODING EXAMPLES

Example added for label 171.

ATTACHMENT 10 – VARIABLES OF BITORIENTED PROTOCOL

Table 10-1 was updated to include a standard value forN7, the maximum number of LDUs in a window (seeSection 2.6 “Windowed Bit-Oriented Protocol”).

Table 10-3 deleted Option 6 (O6) for NAK Send Time,and deleted Option 9 (O9) for the Character Data Word,both of which are no longer used.

Table 10-4 was revised to include columns for low speedmaximum and minimum values. These values wereestablished for timers and as response time design goalsfor incoming transmissions. Timers T13 through T16 wereadded.

Table 10-5 was added to include a definition of highspeed maximum and minimum values for timers andresponse time design goals. The format is the same as therevised Table 10-4. Timer T10 is not used in the highspeed protocol.

Table 10-6 was added to include notes to Tables 10-1through 10-5.

ATTACHMENT 11 – BIT-ORIENTED DATA FILETRANSFER WORD FORMATS

Table 11-1A added “spares” for the deleted CharacterData Formats and corrected “Protocol Data Word” to read“Protocol Word”.

Table 11-4 updated definitions for bits 9 through 24 of theALO and ALR words, and added the LCW (LDU ControlWord) format definition.

Table 11-4A was added as a partial replacement forATTACHMENT 11C and Table 11-4B was added todefine the new window definitions for the Windowed Bit-Oriented protocol in Section 2.6.

Table 11-6A was revised, changing the former GFI bitpattern (0001) for ISO 8208 to “unassigned”. The bitpattern (0100) for ISO 8473 was changed to a more

In each case a brief description of the change or addition isincluded.

2.0 Digital Information Transfer System Standards

Numerous changes were made to the protocol throughoutthis Section.

2.1.5.3 Discrete Data Words

The technique for encoding SSM bits in discrete wordswere revised.

ORIGINAL TEXT FOLLOWS:

2.1.5.3 Discrete Data Words

A source system should annunciate any detected failure thatcould cause one or more of the words normally output bythat system to be unreliable. Three methods are defined. The first method is to set bit numbers 30 and 31 in theaffected word(s) to the “Failure Warning” code defined inthe table below. This is the preferred method. Wordscontaining the “Failure Warning” code should continue tobe supplied to the data bus during the failure condition. When using the second method, the equipment may stoptransmitting the affected word or words on the data bus. The third method applies to data words which are definedsuch that they contain failure information within the datafield. For these applications, refer to the associated ARINCequipment characteristic to determine the proper SSMreporting.The “No Computed Data” code should be annunciated inthe affected Discrete Data word(s) when a source system isunable to compute reliable data for reasons other thansystem failure.

When the “Functional Test” code appears as a systemoutput, it should be interpreted as advice that the data in theDiscrete Data word contents are the result of the executionof a functional test.

DISCRETE DATA WORDS

2.2.2 Modulation

The following Commentary was added:

“Avionics manufacturers are warned that bus activitymonitoring should be implemented with caution. Crossedwiring (interchanging A and B) at one end of the bus, whichwill cause improper LRU/system operation, may notnecessarily be detected by a “simple” bus activity monitor.”

2.2.4.2 Receiver Input Impedance

The word “parallel” was changed to “combination”.

1.0 INTRODUCTION

1.1 Purpose of ARINC Specification 429

ARINC Specification 429 defines the air transport industry’s standards for the transfer of digital data between avionicssystems elements. Adherence to these standards is desired for all inter-systems communications in which the systemline replaceable units are defined as “unit interchangeable” in the relevant ARINC characteristics. Their use for intra-system communications in systems in which the line replaceable units are defined in the ARINC characteristics as“system interchangeable” is not essential, although it is desired.

1.2 Organization of ARINC Specification 429

ARINC Specification 429 was originally published in a single volume through version 14 (429-14). The size of thedocument and the need for improved organization dictated the division of the document into three parts. Those threeparts include:

Part 1, “Functional Description, Electrical Interface, Label Assignments and Word Formats

Part 2 , “Discrete Word Data Formats¢-15

Part 3, “File Data Transfer Techniques”

Part 1 provides the basic description of the functions and the supporting physical and electrical interfaces for the datatransfer system. Data word formats, standard label and address assignments, and application examples are defined.Part 2 lists discrete word bit assignments in label order. Part 3 describes protocols and message definitions for datatransferred in large blocks and/or file format. For convenience of the user, the section and attachment numbering hasbeen retained for the material moved from the original Specification to Part 3.

Updates to each part of future releases of ARINC 429 will be independent of the other parts to accommodate timelyrevisions as industry needs dictate. The “dash numbers” for each new Part will not be synchronized with the otherParts as time passes. Users of ARINC Specification 429 should ensure that the latest version of each Part is used whendesigning or procuring equipment.

COMMENTARY

The delay from the time a command is activated at the control panel to the time of the equipmentresponse should be minimized.

NOTE 5: Primary display functions are those functions for which a display may have need designed when thatdisplay is also being used in a shared manner as a Traffic Advisory Display.

IRS/AHRS BIT EXPLANATIONS

Bit No. Function

11 Align Mode/NR The IRU operating software mode is ALIGN or the initialization of any mode.

12 Reversionary Att. Mode The IRU operating software is ATT.

13 NAV Mode The IRU operating software mode is NAV.

14 Set Heading Magnetic heading outputs are no longer being calculated but have thecharacteristics of a "free DG" and a set heading has been input to the IRU.

15 Attitude Invalid The IRU has detected a failure of attitude, heading, angular body rates, orlinear body accelerations (same as FAULT discrete).

16 DC Fail The IRU DC power input is less than 18 VDC.

17 On DC The IRU is operating on the DC power input.

18 ADC Fault ADC in-flight fault, but power-on BITE found no faults with the IRU ADC inputchannel.

19 IRU Fault The BITE has detected a fault not annunciated in BITS 18, 21, 22, 23, or 24.

20 DC Fail - On DC The DC power input was not available when required by the IRU. Thiscondition shall be reset only by power-on initialization.

21 Align Fault Failed the IRU operating software ALIGN criterion but neither power-on norcontinuous BITE show any faults.

22 No IRS Initialization No input or an incorrect input has been received from the IRMP or FMC’s.

23 Excessive Motion Error Non-zero ground speed during the ALIGN mode.

24 ADC/IRU Fault ADC in-flight fault, but no power-on BITE information available prior toflight.

25 No VOR/DME #1 Input

26 Align status is represented by a series of descending digits, each indicating27 Align Status a successive state of alignment. Three bits provide a seven state alignment28 status as follows:

LSB MSB26 27 28

NOTES: 1) Attitude invalid is equivalent to AHRS failure.

2) Bit 13 "1" condition indicates that AHRS is in the "Normal" mode as described in Section 1.2.1 of ARINCCharacteristic 705. A "0" condition indicates that the AHRS is in the reversionary "Basic mode".

3) Bit 14 "1" condition indicates that AHRS is in the "Magnetic Heading" mode. A "0" condition indicatesthe AHRS is in the reversionary "DG" mode. See Section 1.2.2 of ARINC Characteristic 705 fordescription of modes of heading operation.

FOREWORD

Activities of AERONAUTICAL RADIO, INC. (ARINC)

and the

Purpose of ARINC Reports and Specifications

Aeronautical Radio, Inc. is a corporation in which the United States scheduled airlines are theprincipal stockholders. Other stockholders include a variety of other air transport companies, aircraftmanufacturers and non-U.S. airlines.

Activities of ARINC include the operation of an extensive system of domestic and overseasaeronautical land radio stations, the fulfillment of systems requirements to accomplish ground andairborne compatibility, the allocation and assignment of frequencies to meet those needs, thecoordination incident to standard airborne compatibility, the allocation and assignment of frequenciesto meet those needs, the coordination incident to standard airborne communications and electronicssystems and the exchange of technical information. ARINC sponsors the Airlines ElectronicEngineering Committee (AEEC), composed of airline technical personnel. The AEEC formulatesstandards for electronic equipment and systems for the airlines. The establishment of EquipmentCharacteristics is a principal function of this Committee.

It is desirable to reference certain general ARINC Specifications or Report which areapplicable to more than one type of equipment. These general Specifications and Reports may beconsidered as supplementary to the Equipment Characteristics in which they are referenced. They areintended to set forth the desires of the airlines pertaining to components and general design,construction and test criteria, in order to insure satisfactory operation and the necessaryinterchangeability in airline service. The release of a Specification or Equipment Characteristicsshould not be construed to obligate ARINC or any airline insofar as the purchase of any components orequipment is concerned.

An ARINC Report ( Specification or Characteristic) has a twofold purpose, which is:

(1) To indicate to the prospective manufacturers of airline electronic equipment theconsidered opinion of the airline technical people, coordinated on an industry basis,concerning requisites of new equipment, and

(2) To channel new equipment designs in a direction which can result in the maximumpossible standardization of those physical and electrical characteristics which influenceinterchangeability of equipment without seriously hampering engineering initiative.

1.1 Purpose of this Document

This document defines the air transport industry’s standardsfor the transfer of aperiodic digital data between avionicssystems elements. Adherence to these standards is desiredfor all inter-systems communications in which the systemline replaceable units are defined as “unit interchangeable”in the relevant ARINC equipment Characteristics. Their usefor intra-system communications in systems in which theline replaceable units are defined in the ARINC equipmentCharacteristics as “system interchangeable” is not essential,although it may be convenient.

1.2 Organization of ARINC Specification 429

The original release of ARINC Specification 429 waspublished in its entirety as one document in 1977. Throughthe years as the Specification grew in content, the physicalsize grew proportionately. As a result, the effort involvedwith locating specific data became increasingly difficult.The solution, concurrent with the publication of Supplement15, was to divide Specification 429 into three parts. Part 1addresses the physical parameters (wiring, voltage levels,coding, etc.) and label assignments. Part 2 provides theformats of words with discrete bit encoding. Part 3 definesfile data transfer protocols.

Parts 1, 2, and 3 are being published separately beginningwith the updates provided by Supplement 15. In the future,updates to the individual Parts of ARINC Specification 429will be accomplished by independent Supplements startingwith Supplement 16. Each Part will be updated viaSupplement as the need dictates. Therefore the “dashnumbers,” i.e. -16, -17, etc. may not necessarily beconcurrent for all three parts of Specification 429.

The descriptive material for the changes introduced by theSupplement 1-14 are provided in Part 1. Part 3 containsSupplements 12 and above. The new bit-oriented protocolwas introduced by Supplement 12. The description ofchanges introduced by Supplements 15 and later for eachPart are contained within the respective Parts of thedocument.

1.3 Development of File Data Transfer

ARINC Specification 429, “Mark 33 Digital InformationTransfer System (DITS)” was adopted by AEEC in July1977. Specification 429 defined a broadcast data bus.General provisions were made for file data transfer. InOctober 1989, AEEC updated a file data transfer procedurewith a more comprehensive process that will support thetransfer of both bit and character-oriented data.

COMMENTARY

The ACARS character protocol is defined in ARINCSpecification 619.

COMMENTARY

The desire for exchanging binary data via ACARS wasinstrumental in initiating the development of a

more sophisticated file transfer protocol. Thefundamental concept was developed at a joint Satelliteand ACARS Protocol Working Group meeting held inFebruary 1988 in Williamsburg, Virginia. The newprotocol became known popularly as the“Williamsburg Protocol.”

1.3.1 File Data Transfer Techniques- Basic Philosophy

This “File Data Transfer Techniques” specificationdescribes a system in which an LRU may generate binaryextended length messages “on demand.” Data is sent in theform of Link Data Units (LDU) organized in 8-bit octets.System Address Labels (SAL) are used to identify therecipient. Two data bus speeds are supported.

1.3.2 Data Transfer

The same principles of the physical layer implementationdescribed in Part 1 to ARINC Specification 429,“Functional Description and Word Formats,” apply to FileData Transfer. Any avionics system element havinginformation to transmit does so from a designated outputport over a single twisted and shielded pair of wires to allother system elements having need of that information.Unlike the simple broadcast protocol that can deliver data tomultiple recipients in a single transmission, the FileTransfer technique can be used only for point-to-pointmessage delivery.

1.3.3 Broadcast Data

The same simple “broadcast” transmission techniquedefined in ARINC Specification 429 Parts 1 and 2 may besupported concurrently with the use of aperiodic File DataTransfer.

1.3.4 File Data Transfer

When Specification 429 was adopted in 1977, provisionswere made for a character-oriented file data transferprotocol. This definition was used as guidance for thecharacter-oriented file transfer protocol descriptionsincorporated into many ARINC equipment characteristics.In 1989, a new protocol was developed that expanded thecapability of file data protocol to support the transfer of bit-oriented information. The original description of file datatransfer was declared obsolete; a copy, as a historicalrecord, is retained in Appendix F. The ACARS characteroriented file transfer protocol which was derived from thematerial in Appendix F is documented in ARINCSpecification 619.

The protocol defined in this document is preferred for newapplications. The purpose of this bit-orientedcommunications protocol is to provide for the transparenttransfer of data files using the physical layer data busdefined by Specification 429, Part 1.

COMMENTARY

The data transparent protocol described in Section 2.5 wasdeveloped in order to facilitate the communications of theACARS Management Unit (MU) and the Satellite DataUnit (SDU). Its viability as a universal protocol was

1.3.4 File Data Transfer (cont’d)

COMMENTARY (cont’d)

recognized by the Systems Architecture andInterfaces(SAI) Subcommittee which recommended itsinclusion herein as the standard means of file datatransfer.

The process for determining the protocol (character-oriented as defined in ARINC Specification 619, or bit-oriented) to be used in the interaction between two units,where this information is not pre-determined is described inSection 2.5.19.

1.3.5 Transmission Order

The most significant octet of the file and least significant bit(LSB) of each octet should be transmitted first. The label istransmitted ahead of the data in each case. It may be notedthat the Label field is encoded in reverse order, i.e., the leastsignificant bit of the word is the most significant bit of thelabel. This “reversed label” characteristic is a legacy frompast systems in which the octal coding of the label field was,apparently, of no significance.

1.3.5.1 Data Bit Encoding Logic

A “HI” state after the beginning of the bit interval returningto a “NULL” state before the end of the same bit intervalsignifies a logic “one.”

A “LO” state after the beginning of the bit interval returningto a “NULL” state before the end of the same bit intervalsignifies a logic “zero.” This is represented graphically inARINC Specification 429, Part 1 Attachment 7.

1.3.6 Bit-Oriented Protocol Determination

An LRU will require logic to determine which protocol(character or bit-oriented) and which version to use whenprior knowledge is not available. See Section 2.5.19.1 forbit protocol version determination.

1.4 Relationship to Other Standards

This document defines an onboard data link protocol to beused for file data transfer between cooperating LineReplaceable Units (LRU). As an onboard data bus, thisstandard is often included in AEEC equipment standards(ARINC 700 series) by reference.

Conversely, this Specification also references otherdocuments. For example, Version 3 of the file transferprotocol, defined in Chapter 3 herein, utilizes many of theprinciples of the IEEE communications standard 802.3.Appropriately, there are numerous references to thatstandard. IEEE 802.3, 1998 was current when thedefinition of Version 3 was completed. Since the IEEEstandard may evolve over time, a generic (non-time dated)reference (i.e., IEEE 802.3) is used wherever possible toenable the reference within this document to remaincurrent, to the maximum extent possible, without futureSupplements. Exceptions to this practice includereferences to specific clauses or paragraphs of IEEE802.3, 1998. These references are not intended to limit thegrowth or evolution of these provisions, but rather toensure that the reader is equipped with sufficient

information to ensure that the desired section will belocated.

Documents referenced in this document include:

2.5 Bit-Oriented Communications Protocol

This section describes Version 1 of the bit-oriented(Williamsburg) protocol and message exchange proceduresfor file data transfer between units desiring to exchange bit-oriented data assembled in data files. This protocol shouldbe used in lieu of the character-oriented file data transferdefined in ARINC Specification 619. All other bus activityremains unchanged. The bit-oriented protocol is designed toaccommodate data transfer between sending and receivingunits in a form compatible with the Open SystemsInterconnect (OSI) model developed by the InternationalStandards Organization (ISO). This document directs itselfto an implementation of the Link layer, however, anoverview of the first four layers (Physical, Link, Networkand Transport) is provided.

Communications will permit the intermixing of bit-orientedfile transfer data words (which contain System AddressLabels (SALs)) with conventional data words (whichcontain label codes). If the sink should receive aconventional data word during the process of accepting abit-oriented file transfer message, the sink should accept theconventional data word and resume processing of theincoming file transfer message.

The process for determining the protocol (character-oriented or bit-oriented) to be used in the interactionbetween two units, where this information is not pre-determined is described in Section 2.5.19. The definition ofthe protocol words used to determine the type of protocol iscontained in Table 11-4 of Attachment 11.

A table illustrating the bit-oriented file transfer wordformats is shown in Attachment 11.

The description provided in the following subsectionscontains references to options which may be exercised andtiming values which may be selected for each individualsystem for which this protocol is chosen. The options aredesignated with an “O” and a sequence number, e.g., O5.The timing values are designated with a “T” and a sequencenumber, e.g., T2. See Attachment 10 for tables containingstandard options, events, applications and timers.

COMMENTARY

There is no protocol to support negotiation of theparameters, and options such as those defined inAttachment 10.

The data file and associated protocol control informationare encoded into 32-bit words and transmitted over thephysical interface as described in Part 1 of Specification429. At the Link layer, data is transferred using a datatransparent bit-oriented data file transfer protocol designedto permit the units involved to send and receive informationin multiple word frames. It is structured to allow thetransmission of any binary data organized into a data filecomposed of octets. Examples of file transfer and fieldmapping are given in Attachments 12 and 12A respectively.The bit-oriented protocol will support either full or halfduplex operation (O1).

A. Physical Medium

The physical interface should be as described in Part 1 ofSpecification 429.

B. Physical Layer

The Physical layer provides the functions necessary toactivate, maintain and release the physical link which willcarry the bit stream of the communication. The electricalinterface, voltage, timing, etc. described in Part 1 ofSpecification 429 should be used by the interfacing units.Data words will contain 32 bits; bits 1-8 will contain theSystem Address Label (SAL) and bit 32 will be the parity(odd) bit.

C. Link Layer

The Link layer is responsible for transferring informationfrom one logical network entity to another and forenunciating any errors encountered during transmission.The Link layer provides a highly reliable virtual channeland some flow control mechanisms.

D. Network Layer

It is the responsibility of the Network layer to ensure thatdata packets are properly routed between any two terminals.The Network layer performs a number of functions. TheNetwork layer expects the Link layer to supply data fromcorrectly received frames.

COMMENTARY

The Network layer provides for the decoding ofinformation up to the packet level in order to determinewhich node (unit) the message should be transferred to.To obtain interoperability, this process, though simplein this application, must be reproduced using the sameset of rules throughout all the communicationsnetworks (and their subnetworks) on-board the aircraftand on the ground.

The bit-oriented data link protocol was designed to operatein a bit-oriented Network layer environment. Specifically,the Data Link Subcommittee expects that ISO 8208 will beselected as the Subnetwork layer protocol for air/ground

The Transport layer controls the transportation of databetween a source end-system to a destination end-system. Itprovides “network independent” data delivery betweenthese processing end-systems. It is the highest order offunction involved in moving data between systems. Itrelieves higher layers from any concern with the puretransportation of information between them.

2.5.1 Link Data Units (LDU)

A Link Data Unit (LDU) contains binary encoded octets.The octets may be set to any possible binary value. TheLDU may represent raw data, character data, bit-orientedmessages, character-oriented messages, or any string of bitsdesired. The only restriction is that the bits be organizedinto full 8-bit octets. The interpretation of those bits is not apart of this Link layer protocol. The LDUs are assembled tomake up a data file.

LDUs consist of a set of contiguous ARINC 429 32-bit datawords, each containing the System Address Label (seeSection 2.5.3) of the sink. The initial data word of eachLDU is a Start of Transmission (SOT) as described inSection 2.5.10. The data described above is containedwithin the data words which follow (See Section 2.5.11).The LDU is concluded with an End of Transmission (EOT)data word (see Section 2.5.12). No data file should exceed255 LDUs.

Within the context of this document, LDUs correspond toframes and files correspond to packets, as defined inSection 2.5.

2.5.2 Link Data Unit (LDU) Size and Word Count

The Link Data Unit (LDU) may vary in size from 3 to 255ARINC 429 words including the SOT and EOT words.When a LDU is organized for transmission, the totalnumber of ARINC 429 words to be sent (word count) iscalculated. The word count is the sum of the SOT word, thedata words in the LDU and the EOT word.

In order to obtain maximum system efficiency, the datashould be encoded into the minimum number of LDUs.

COMMENTARY

The word count field is 8 bits in length. Thus themaximum number of ARINC 429 words which can becounted in this field is 255. The word count fieldappears in the RTS and CTS data words. The numberof LDUs needed to transfer a specific data file willdepend upon the method used to encode the datawords.

2.5.3 System Address Labels (SALs)

LDUs are sent point-to-point, even though other systemsmay be connected and listening to the output of atransmitting system. In order to identify the intendedrecipient of a transmission, the Label field (bits 1-8) is usedto carry a System Address Label (SAL). Each on-boardsystem is assigned a SAL as shown in ARINC Specification429, Part 1, Attachment 14. When a system sends an LDUto another system, the sending system (the “source”)addresses each ARINC 429 word to the receiving system(the “sink”) by setting the Label field to the SAL of thesink. When a system receives any data containing its SALthat is not sent through the established conventions of thisprotocol, the data received should be ignored.

COMMENTARY

In the data transparent protocol, data files are identifiedby content rather than by ARINC 429 label. Thus, thelabel field loses the function of parameter identificationavailable in broadcast communications.

2.5.4 Bit Rate and Word Timing

Data transfer may operate at either high speed or low speed(O2) as defined in Part 1 of Specification 429. The sourceshould introduce a gap between the end of each ARINC 429word transmitted and the beginning of the next. The gapshould be 4 bit times (minimum). The sink should becapable of receiving the LDU with the minimum word gapof 4 bit times between words. The source should not exceeda maximum average of 64 bit times between data words ofan LDU.

COMMENTARY

The maximum average word gap is intended to compelthe source to transmit successive data words of an LDUwithout excessive delay. This provision prevents asource that is transmitting a short message from usingthe full available LDU transfer time (T9). The primaryvalue of this provision is realized when assessing amaximum LDU transfer time for short fixed-lengthLDUs, such as for Automatic Dependence Surveillance(ADS).

If a Williamsburg source device were to synchronouslytransmit long length or full LDUs over a single ARINC429 data bus to several sink devices, the source maynot be able to transmit the data words for a given LDUat a rate fast enough to satisfy this requirement becauseof other bus activity. In aircraft operation, given theasynchronous burst mode nature of Williamsburg LDUtransmissions, it is extremely unlikely that aWilliamsburg source would synchronously beginsending a long length or full LDU to more than twoWilliamsburg sink devices. Although, a laboratorycondition could be designed to test a Williamsburgtransmitter which would likely result in thetransmitter’s failure to meet the maximum word gaprequirement, this test should be disregarded. A failureto meet this requirement will either result in asuccessful (but slower) LDU transfer, or an LDUretransmission due to an LDU transfer timeout.

2.0 BIT-ORIENTED FILE TRANSFER PROTOCOL

2.5.5 Word Type

The Word Type Field occupies bit 31-29 in all bit-orientedLDU words. See Table 11-1A of Attachment 11 for adescription of the Word Type field. The Word Type field isused to identify the function of each ARINC 429 data wordused by the bit-oriented communication protocol.

2.5.6 Protocol Words

The protocol words are identified with a Word Type field of“100” and are used to control the file transfer process.

2.5.6.1 Protocol Identifier

The protocol identifier field occupies bits 28-25 of theprotocol word and identifies the type of protocol wordbeing transmitted. Table 11-4 of Attachment 11 contains thedifferent protocol words and their formats.

Protocol words with an invalid protocol identifier fieldshould be ignored.

2.5.6.2 Destination Code

Some protocol words contain a Destination Code. TheDestination Code field (bits 24-17) typically indicates thefinal destination of the LDU (O10). If the LDU is intendedfor the use of the system receiving the message, thedestination code may be set to null (hex 00). However, ifthe LDU is a message intended to be passed on to anotheron-board system, the Destination Code should indicate thesystem to which the message is to be passed. Someinterfaces (e.g., between an ARINC 758 CMU and a multi-bearer-system ARINC 761 SDU) use the “Destination”code to select a specific bearer system to be used for adownlink message, and to indicate the specific bearersystem used for an uplink message. The Destination Codesare assigned according to the applications involved asshown in Attachment 11A.

In an OSI environment, the Link layer protocol is notresponsible for validating the destination code. It is theresponsibility of the higher level entities to detect invaliddestination codes and to initiate error logging and recovery.

COMMENTARY

Within the pre-OSI environment, the Destination Codeprovides Network layer information. In the OSIenvironment, this field may contain the sameinformation for routing purposes between OSI and non-OSI systems.

2.5.6.3 Word Count

Some protocol words contain a Word Count field. TheWord Count field (bits 16-9) reflects the number of ARINC429 words to be transmitted in the subsequent LDU. Themaximum word count value is 255 ARINC 429 words andthe minimum word count value is 3 ARINC 429 words. ALDU with the minimum word count value of 3 ARINC 429words would contain a SOT word, one data word and anEOT word. A LDU with the maximum word count value of255 ARINC 429 words would contain a SOT word, 253data words and an EOT word.

2.5.7 Request To Send (RTS)

When an on-board system needs to send a LDU to anotheron-board system, it will issue a Request To Send (RTS) tothat system. The RTS word contains a Destination Codeand a Word Count field.

When a system receives a RTS, it should send a response tothe source within T1 milliseconds. The response can be: (1)Clear to Send, (2) Not Clear to Send or (3) Busy.

To be considered valid CTS, NCTS or BUSY data wordsmust have odd parity and contain the same destination codeas the corresponding RTS. A valid CTS must also containthe same word count as the RTS.

2.5.7.1 Clear To Send (CTS)

When a system receives a valid RTS and is ready to acceptthe LDU transfer, it should send a CTS word to the sourcewithin T1 milliseconds. The CTS contains a DestinationCode (bits 24-17) and a Word Count field (bits 16-9). TheDestination Code in the CTS should contain the sameDestination Code as the RTS word (See Section 2.5.6.2).The Word Count field should contain the same Word Countvalue as the RTS word. If the source receives a CTScontaining a different Destination Code or Word Countfield value or a Word count field value equal to zero, itshould treat it as a valid Not Clear To Send. All of the RTScounters (N1, N2, N3) will be reset after a valid CTS isreceived.

2.5.7.2 Not Clear To Send (NCTS)

When a system either receives a valid RTS and is NOTready to accept the LDU transfer or receives an RTS withan invalid destination or invalid word count, it should senda Not Clear To Send (NCTS) to the source within T1milliseconds. See Table 11-4 of Attachment 11 for theformat of the NCTS word. The NCTS word should containthe same Destination Code as the RTS word and status code(bits 16-9) as shown in Attachment 11B indicating thereason for the busy response. If the NCTS received does notcontain the same Destination Code, then the source shoulddeclare the NCTS to be invalid and ignore it. The statuscodes are for engineering purposes only and should beignored by the system receiving the NCTS word.

Upon receipt of the NCTS word, the source should wait forT2 milliseconds before repeating the RTS. The RTS may berepeated T2 milliseconds after each NCTS until N1 requestsnominally have gone without receiving a valid CTS. Theactual number of attempts (N1) a system should make andthe action to be taken when the limit is exceeded depend onthe application (A1). The NCTS counter (N1) should bereset upon valid (CTS) response to the RTS.

After sending a NCTS, the sink may optionally choose (O3)to send a CTS with the requested Destination Code andWord Count automatically as soon as it is ready to

2.5.7.2 Not Clear To Send (NCTS) (cont’d)

accept the file transfer, without waiting for another RTS.The source may optionally choose (O4) to accept such aCTS. Alternatively, the source may ignore the CTS with therequested Destination Code and Word Count and repeat itsRTS.

COMMENTARY

If the word count and/or destination fields in thereceived RTS word are not valid by virtue of illegal orunsupported values, the sink should respond with theNCTS word using an optional status code identifyingthe condition. Some original implementations simplyignored an invalid RTS word. However, the preferenceis to respond with a NCTS.

2.5.7.3 Destination Busy (BUSY)

When a system receives a valid RTS and is not able toaccept an LDU within a timely manner, the receivingsystem may optionally send a BUSY response to the sourcewithin T3 milliseconds. See Table 11-4 of Attachment 11for the format of the BUSY data word. The BUSY wordshould contain the same Destination Code as the RTS wordand a status code (bits 16-9) as shown in Attachment 11Bindicating the reason for the busy response. If the BUSYreceived does not contain the same Destination Code, thenthe source should declare the BUSY to be invalid andignore it. The status codes are for engineering purposes onlyand should be ignored by the system receiving the BUSYword.

COMMENTARY

A timely manner refers to the interval defined by theNCTS retry sequence.

Upon receipt of the BUSY word, the source should wait forT4 seconds before repeating the RTS. The RTS may berepeated every T4 seconds for as many times as theapplication requires up to a maximum of N2 . Each newattempt could possibly consist of several RTStransmissions. Note that the busy condition could last forhours, depending on the nature of the application and thebuffering capacity of the sink. The action taken followingT4 - N2 time out depends upon the application (A2). Theapplication requirements may supersede the value of N2defined in Attachment 10. The Busy counter (N2) should bereset upon valid (CTS) response to the RTS.

After sending a BUSY, the sink may optionally choose (O3)to send a CTS with the requested Destination Code andWord Count automatically as soon as it is ready to acceptthe file transfer, without waiting for another RTS. Thesource may optionally choose (O4) to accept such a CTS.

Alternatively, the source may ignore the CTS with therequested Destination Code and Word Count and repeat theRTS.

When expedited file transfers are desired between 2 BOPdevices, the sink device should support Option 3 (SendAuto CTS) and the source device should support Option 4(Accept Auto CTS).

COMMENTARY

If Option 3 (Send Auto CTS) and Option 4 (AcceptAuto CTS) cannot be supported between two deviceswhere expedited file transfers are necessary, analternative approach is to reduce the BUSY RetryTimer (T4) and increase the BUSY counter (N2)accordingly to make the T4N2 timeout period identicalto the existing T4N2 value. The recommended value forlow speed is T4=1.5 seconds and N2=200.

2.5.7.4 No Response to RTS

If the source receives no response to the RTS within T5milliseconds, the request should be repeated. In the absenceof any valid response (such as CTS, NCTS, or BUSY), orthe absence of an unexpected RTS, the RTS should berepeated every T5 milliseconds until at least N3 requestshave gone unanswered. Any response other than a validCTS, NCTS, BUSY, Aloha, or an unexpected RTS shouldbe ignored. The No response counter (N3) should be resetupon valid response to the RTS. All the RTS counters (N1,N2, N3) will be reset after a valid CTS is received.

The actual number of attempts a source should make (N3)before giving up, or taking some different course of action,when the limit is exceeded depends on the application (A3).The action to be taken is described in Table 10-2 ofAttachment 10 or in the applicable equipment characteristic.

2.5.8 Conflicting RTS Transmissions

2.5.8.1 Half Duplex Mode

When operating in half duplex mode, it is possible that twosystems might decide to send RTS messages to each otherat nearly the same time, causing each system to appear toreceive the other’s RTS in response to its own RTS. If thisoccurs, each system should set a random timer to a time inthe range of zero to T6 milliseconds in increments of nomore than T7 milliseconds. If a system receives anotherRTS before this timer expires, that system will defer its ownneed to transmit and will respond to the other system’s RTSas defined in the preceding paragraphs. If no RTS isreceived within the random time, the system should re-transmit the RTS. If a conflicting RTS occurs again, thesame procedure will take effect for as many times as it takesfor one system to prevail over the other.

If this protocol is used in an environment that has welldefined priorities (O5), one system may be assigned priorityover another to resolve RTS conflicts without the randomretransmission procedure described above.

COMMENTARY

Typically, a well-defined priority in avionics gives anRTS for uplinks priority over an RTS for downlinks.

2.0 BIT-ORIENTED FILE TRANSFER PROTOCOL

2.5.8.2 Full Duplex Mode

When operating in a full duplex mode, both systems mustbe capable of operating as a source and sink at the sametime. If both systems initiate an RTS, both should receive aCTS and both should respond normally to the CTS. Neithersystem should abort.

A conflicting RTS applies only to a receiving system thathas transmitted a CTS (in response to a RTS) and receivesanother RTS. This RTS is treated simply as a retransmissionand the sink should retransmit a CTS.

2.5.9 Unexpected RTS

It is possible, that after sending a CTS word to a requestingsource, that the source does not receive the CTS and re-transmits the RTS to the sink. Alternatively, a source mayexperience a reset which causes a new RTS to be sent in themiddle of an LDU transfer. If, for any reason, the first wordreceived by a sink after having sent a CTS word is an RTS,then the sink should transmit another CTS word. If a sinkreceives another RTS after having sent a CTS, even in themiddle of receiving an LDU, the sink should discard anypartial LDU already received and respond as defined inSection 2.5.7.1.

2.5.10 Start Of Transmission (SOT)

When a system receives a valid CTS with a DestinationCode and Word Count matching the Destination Code andWord Count of the previous RTS, the system shouldrespond by sending the Start of Transmission (SOT) wordwithin T13 milliseconds, immediately followed by the datawords which constitute the LDU. See Table 11-6 ofAttachment 11 for a description of the SOT word format.The SOT word contains the File Sequence Number in itsFile Sequence Number field (bits 24-17). It also contains aGeneral Format Identifier (GFI) and a LDU SequenceNumber.

2.5.10.1 General Format Identifier (GFI)

The General Format Identifier (GFI) occupies bits 28-25 inthe SOT word. See Table 11-6A of Attachment 11 for adescription of the GFI field. The GFI is transparent to theLink layer protocol. It is designated by a higher level entityin the source device, to indicate to a higher level entity inthe sink, the format of the data words that follow. It is theresponsibility of the higher level entities to detect invalidGFI designations and to initiate error logging and recovery.

COMMENTARY

Within the pre-OSI environment the GFI providesNetwork layer function information. In the OSIenvironment this field may contain the sameinformation for bridging purposes between the OSI andnon-OSI world.

A code of 1111 is used to indicate that an extended GFI of8 bits will be found in the first data octet (Nibbles 1 and 2)of the first data word in the file.

2.5.10.2 File Sequence Number

The File Sequence Number (bits 24-17) of the SOT wordcontains an 8-bit number assigned to the file. It is initializedto the hex value 00 and increments by 1 for each new filethat is sent over the ARINC 429 link. After reaching hexFF, the File Sequence Number should start over at hex 01,skipping zero. A file consisting of multiple LDUs will havethe same File Sequence Number in each of the SOT wordsof each LDU.

2.5.10.3 LDU Sequence Number

The LDU Sequence Number (bits 16-9) of the SOT wordcontains an 8-bit number assigned to the LDU. It isinitialized to the hex value 00 and increments by 1 for eachnew LDU of the same file that is sent over the ARINC 429link. The LDU Sequence Number should be reset to 00 atthe beginning of each new file.

2.5.11 Data

Data words immediately follow the SOT word. The octetsof the data file are encoded and transmitted in 32-bit datawords. There are two basic types of data words: full binaryand partial binary. Binary data words may contain one, two,three, four and five semi-octets. A semi-octet (or nibble) ishalf of an octet, or four bits in length.

Binary data words of five semi-octets are called Full Datawords. Binary data words of fewer than five semi-octets arecalled Partial Binary Data words.

A data file may be sent using any combination of full andpartial data words. There are no restrictions regarding theparticular type of data within a file. The formats of Datawords are illustrated in Attachment 11.

Each binary data file, prior to transmission, should conclude(end) with a complete octet. Any incomplete final octetshould be completed with zeros before transmission. EachLDU transmitted, should also end in a complete octet. If, atthe end of the transmission, the receiver determines that anodd number of semi-octets has been received, that is, theLDU ends with an incomplete octet, the receiver shouldsend a NAK or assume the upper 4 bits of the partial octetto be zeros, and proceed normally.

2.5.11.1 Full Data Word(s)

A Full Data Word has 20 bits available for data. This spaceis allocated in five semi-octets. The octets of the data fileare divided into two semi-octets and placed sequentiallyinto the data words. The least significant bit of the leastsignificant semi-octet is sent first.

If, in the process of placing the octets into the data words,an octet is split between two different words, the leastsignificant semi-octet goes in the last (n5) semi-octet of thecurrent data field and the most significant semi-octetfollows in the first (n1) semi-octet of the data field of thenext word. See Attachment 11 for data word formats.

2.0 BIT-ORIENTED FILE TRANSFER PROTOCOL

2.5.11.1 Full Data Word(s) (cont’d)

If the end of the LDU does not completely fill the last FullData Word, a Partial Data Word (see Section 2.5.11.2)should be used to complete the LDU transmission.

In order to obtain maximum system efficiency, Partial DataWords should be used only when they are required tocomplete the data for an LDU transmission. An LDUshould not be encoded as a string of Partial Data Wordswhere 8 or 16 bits of data are encoded for each ARINC 429word used.

2.5.11.2 Partial Data Word(s)

A Partial Data Word contains from one to four semi-octets.The number of semi-octets in a partial data word isindicated in bits 28-25 of the word. Only full four-bit semi-octets can be sent; one, two or three bits are invalid. PartialData Word semi-octets are sent in the same order as thesemi-octets in a full data word. The unused semi-octets inthe partial data word should be set to binary zeros.

2.5.12 End of Transmission (EOT)

Each LDU transfer is terminated by an End of Transmission(EOT) word. See Table 11-7 of Attachment 11 for thedefinition of this word. Table 11-7A of Attachment 11contains the definition for bit 25 of the EOT word. This bitis used to indicate if the LDU is the final LDU of the filetransfer. If the file transfer consists of a single LDU, bit 25should be set to 1 to indicate that this is the final LDU. If NLDUs are to be sent, then bit 25 of LDU 1 through LDU N-1 should be set to 0 and bit 25 of LDU N should be set to 1.The EOT word contains a Cyclic Redundancy Check orCRC (bits 24-9).

COMMENTARY

The ARINC 429 data link is a twisted shielded pair ofwires which has been demonstrated to exhibit highintegrity and unlikely to introduce errors into the datapassing through it. Simple parametric data is usuallytransmitted at a refresh rate high enough to permitrecognition and suppression of erroneous data. Sincethe transfer of data using a file transfer protocolcontains no provision for automatic refresh, someapplications may require high data integrity to beconfirmed by an error checking mechanism. For thisreason, each LDU contains a CRC check. The use ofthe CRC in this case does not imply any inherent lackof integrity of the ARINC 429 link.

2.5.12.1 CRC Encoding

The CRC field is a 16 bit sequence with the most significantbit (MSB) transmitted first. Determination and encoding ofthe CRC is as follows:

The k bits of data in the LDU are represented as thecoefficients of the polynomial, G(x); where k is the numberof data bits in the LDU existing between, but not including,the SOT and EOT words. For example, if the data stream is101001, k=6 and G(X)=x5+ x3 + 1.

The CRC calculation is performed over the data octets onlyof the LDU with any semi-octets zero filled.

There exists a generator polynomial which is of the form,

P(x) = x16 + x12 + x5 + 1

The CRC is then determined as the one’s complement of theremainder, R(x), obtained from the modulo 2 division of:

x16G(x) + xk(x15+x14+x13+...+x2+x+1) = Q(x) + R(x) P(x) P(x)

Note: The addition of xk(x15+x14+x13...+x2+x+1) to x16G(x)(which is equivalent to inverting the first 16 bits of G(x) andappending a bit string of 16 zeroes to the lower order end ofG(x)), corresponds to initializing the initial remainder to avalue of all “ones.” The complementing of R(x), by thetransmitter, at the completion of the division ensures thatthe received, error-free message will result in a unique, non-zero remainder at the receiver.

At the transmitter, the CRC is added to the x16G(x) product,resulting in the message, M(x), of length n where:

n = k+16,

and M(x) = x16G(x) + R(x)

= x16G(x) + CRC

2.5.12.2 CRC Decoding

Decoding of the CRC at the receiver is as follows:

At the receiver, the incoming M(x) is multiplied by x16,added to the product,

xn(x15+x14+x13+...+x2+x+1)

and divided by P(x) as follows:

x16M(x)+xn(x15+x14+x13+...+x+1) = Qr(x) + Rr(x) P(x) P(x)

If the transmission of the serial incoming bits plus CRC(i.e., M(x)) is error free, then the remainder, Rr(x) will be0001110100001111 (coefficients of x15 through x0,respectively). A mathematical example of CRC encodingand decoding can be found in Appendix G.

COMMENTARY

The notation used to describe the CRC is based on theproperty of cyclic codes that a code vector such as1000000100001 can be represented by a polynomialG(x) = x12 + x5 + 1. The elements of an n element codeword are thus the coefficients of a polynomial of ordern - 1. In this application, these coefficients can havethe value 0 or 1 and all polynomial operations areperformed module 2. The polynomial representing thedata content (message) of an LDU is generated usingthe LDU bit which is encoded in bit 9

of the first data word as the coefficient of the highestorder term. A mathematical example of CRC encodingand decoding can be found in Appendix G.

2.5.13 Negative Acknowledgment(NAK)

If the sink detects any of the errors described in thefollowing subsections, it sends a NAK to the source upondetecting the error or within T8 milliseconds of receiving theEOT word, whichever occurs first. See Table 11-4 ofAttachment 11 for a description of the NAK word format.The NAK word should contain the same File SequenceNumber (bits 24-17) as the SOT word and a status code(bits 16-9) as shown in Attachment 11B indicating thereason for the NAK. The File Sequence Number and statuscode are intended to be used for engineering purposes onlyand should be ignored by the system receiving the NAK.

The sink should test for errors to determine if a NAKshould be sent. It is not necessary for the sink to be aware ofthe type of error that occurred, as long as any of the errorslisted in the following subsections will elicit a NAKresponse.

2.5.13.1 Missing SOT Word

Following reception of a valid CTS word, the source shouldtransmit the SOT word as the first word of the LDU asspecified in Section 2.5.10, Start of Transmission (SOT). Ifthe SOT word is not received as the first word of the LDU,the sink should send the NAK response. See also Section2.5.9.

2.5.13.2 Missing EOT Word

Following the transmission of the final data word of eachLDU, the source should transmit the EOT word as the finalword of the LDU as specified in Section 2.5.12, End ofTransmission (EOT). If the EOT word is not received as thefinal word of the LDU within T9 seconds of the CTS, thenthe sink should send the NAK response to the source withinT8 milliseconds after the T9 has expired.

2.5.13.3 Parity Errors

Bit 32 of each ARINC 429 word should be set to odd parityfor the entire word. Upon receipt of a word, the receivingunit should verify that each word was received with oddparity. If any word is received with even parity, thereceiving unit should take no action and ignore the word.

COMMENTARY

When the sink receives a word with bad parity, itcannot be sure of the intended label. The word may noteven be a part of the LDU, so by ignoring the offendingword there may still be a chance of a successful filetransfer. If the offending word was intended to be apart of the LDU, then when the EOT word is received,the actual word count will not match the expectedcount. The sink will either NAK the source when theEOT word is received, or when it times out waiting forthe full expected number of words.

2.5.13.4 Word Count Errors

Upon receipt of the EOT word, the sink should verify thatthe actual number of words received is the number of wordsexpected, per the RTS and CTS words. If the word countsdo not match, the sink should send a NAK response to thesource.

2.5.13.5 CRC Errors

Upon receipt of the EOT word, the sink should verify theCRC on the received LDU. If the 16-bit CRC is invalid, thesink should send the NAK response.

2.5.13.6 Time Out Errors

The sink will not time the gaps between the words received,However, if the sink does not receive the complete LDUtransfer within T9 seconds of having sent the CTS, it shouldsend a NAK to the source and discard any partial LDUreceived.

2.5.14 LDU Transfer Acknowledgment(ACK)

If all words of the LDU transfer are received within T9seconds of the CTS, each with odd parity, and the wordcount and CRC verify, and the LDU is either the next LDU,a duplicate LDU or the first LDU of a new file, then thesink should send an acknowledgment(ACK) to the sourcewithin T8 milliseconds of receiving the EOT word. SeeTable 11-4 of Attachment 11 for a description of the ACKword format. The ACK word should contain the FileSequence Number (bits 24-17) and LDU sequence number(bits 16-9) to indicate a successful LDU transfer.

2.5.14.1 Duplicate LDU

An LDU is determined to be a duplicate if its File SequenceNumber and LDU Sequence Number are not both zero, andit’s SOT words are identical to those of the previouslyreceived LDU. When a duplicate LDU is detected, the sinkshould discard the LDU just received and acknowledge perSection 2.5.14.

COMMENTARY

Some implementations look at both SOT and EOT todetermine duplicate LDUs.

A File Sequence Number of zero along with an LDUSequence Number of zero should be interpreted as anindication of a reset in the source and the LDU shouldnot be compared to the previous one.

2.5.14.2 Auto-Synchronized Files

When the File Sequence Number is different from theprevious LDU transfer and the LDU Sequence Number iszero, then the sink discards any previously received partialfile, and accepts the LDU just received.

2.5.14.2 Auto-Synchronized Files (cont’d)

COMMENTARY

Some implementations do not support auto-synchronized files.

2.5.14.3 Incomplete File Timer

The Incomplete File (T14) timer is used to insure that asource device may not “lock-up” a sink with an incompletefile.

For multiple-LDU files, the maximum time allowed fromtransmission of the ACK or NAK for a previous LDU to thereception of the next RTS should be T14 minutes. The sinkwill start the T14 timer when it sends a NAK or when itsends an ACK for each LDU of a file except the last LDU.The T14 timer is stopped each time another valid RTS isreceived. The T14 timer should also be stopped if the sinkdiscards the partial file for other reasons defined in thisspecification. When T14 minutes is exceeded, the sinkshould send the SYN word within T8 milliseconds anddiscard any partial file already received.

For Half Duplex environments (i.e., Option O1 of Table 10-3) this timer only applies when the device is operating as asink.

2.5.15 SYN Word

The SYN word is used by the sink to inform the source thatit (the sink) has become confused concerning theconstruction of the file. A typical example is aninappropriate or unexpected File/LDU Sequence Number inthe SOT word. See Table 11-4 of Attachment 11 for adescription of the SYN word format. Upon receipt of theSOT word, the sink should verify the LDU SequenceNumber (bits 16-9).

COMMENTARY

If an SOT word of an LDU has the same File SequenceNumber and LDU Sequence Numbers as the previousLDU, some implementations will interpret this as anunexpected File/LDU Sequence Number instead of aduplicate LDU.

If the LDU is not a duplicate and its LDU SequenceNumber is not the next in sequence (i.e., is not the nextLDU), and is not the first LDU of a new file, then the sinkshould send the SYN response to the source within T8milliseconds of receipt of the SOT word, or within T8milliseconds of receipt of the EOT word when necessary todetermine a duplicate LDU, and discard any partial filealready received.

COMMENTARY

Some implementations look at both SOT and EOTto determine duplicate LDUs.

The SYN word may be sent without timing constraint whenthe received data words cannot be normally processed.There is no acknowledgmentdefined for the source when a

SYN word is received. The action taken is specified inSection 2.5.16.

2.5.16 Response to ACK/NAK/SYN

The source should expect a response to the transmissionwithin T16 of sending the EOT .

COMMENTARY

Timer T10 may apply instead of T16, for those devicescompliant with version “0000” or “0001” of thisprotocol (Table 11-4A of Attachment 11). T10 is startedafter the CTS is received whereas time T16 is startedafter the EOT word is transmitted.

If an ACK is received and the File Sequence Number andLDU Sequence Number match the contents of the SOTword, the source should consider the transfer successful. Ifan ACK is received and the File Sequence Number and/orthe LDU Sequence Number do not match the SOT word, orif a NAK is received or if no response is detected, thesource should repeat the entire LDU transmission process,starting with the sending of the RTS word. If the sourcedetects a SYN during the transmission process, it shouldretransmit the entire file, if able, beginning with the firstLDU. The File Sequence Number contained within theSYN word is provided for testing purposes and is notevaluated by the source. If the source is not able toretransmit or rebuild the entire file, that file is discarded andthe source proceeds normally with the first LDU of the nextfile, when it is ready for transmission.

COMMENTARY

If end-to-end accountability is required, then eitherupper layer OSI protocols or the application processshould provide this capability.

Each new attempt to re-transmit the LDU should start withthe necessary RTS transmissions in order to obtain a CTSagain. After receiving N4 consecutive NAK words, or afterreceiving N5 consecutive SYN words, the file transferbetween the two systems should be considered failed.

2.5.17 Solo Word (Single Word Transfers)

If the data to be sent consists of 1 or 2 octets only, (e.g., abutton code from a CDU keyboard) then it is not necessaryto obtain a CTS. In this case the data may be sent “in theblind” using the Solo Word format (O8). The Solo Wordcontains a 16-bit data field in bits 24-9 and a 4-bit identifierin bits 28-25 to identify the nature of the data. For example,the I.D. may indicate that the data is a key code from aCDU or a status word. Codes 0000 and 0001 are reservedfor the TEST and LOOP words as defined in Section2.5.17.1. All other codes are available for application use.Solo Words are not acknowledged at the link level.However, they may invoke a Solo Word or data file transferresponse as required by the application. Solo Words cannotbe interleaved with data file words during a data filetransfer. If error detection beyond parity is required, somebits of the data field can be defined as check bits, to beverified by the application.

2.5.17.1 Test Word and Loop Word

The integrity of the ARINC 429 link between two units maybe tested. The test is initiated by the source sending theLoop Test Pattern Word (TEST).

The TEST word contains a 16-bit binary pattern (bits 24-9)chosen by the originator. The system receiving the TESTWord should respond by sending a Loop Test Response(LOOP) word containing the same 16-bit pattern (bits 24-9)within T11 milliseconds.

COMMENTARY

The preferred reaction to a loop test failure has notbeen defined.

2.5.17.2 Optional Solo Word Definitions

Each equipment utilizing this bit-oriented protocol maydefine solo words as needed. See Table 11-5 of Attachment11 for the format definition. These solo word definitionsshould be unambiguous.

COMMENTARY

The same SOLO word ID coding may beusedrepeatedly in different units as long as its meaningremains unambiguous.

2.5.18 Optional End-To-End Message Verification

In some applications, an end-to-end integrity check isdesirable in order to validate the correct transfer of a datafile from the message source to its final destination. Forfurther information, the reader should refer to the applicableARINC Equipment Characteristic, e.g., ARINCCharacteristic 702, “Flight Management ComputerSystem.”

2.5.19 Protocol Initialization

The ALO word should be sent by any system whichsupports the bit-oriented Link layer protocol just after thesystem powers-up, or performs a re-initialization for anyreason.

A system which supports the bit-oriented Link layerprotocol should first determine if the interfacing device alsosupports the bit-oriented protocol using the ALO/ALRprocess described in Section 2.5.19.1. If the system isbilingual and there is no response to the ALO/ALR process,it may also determine if the interfacing device supports thecharacter-oriented protocol as described in Section 2.5.19.2.

A bilingual system should repeat the processes described inSections 2.5.19.1 and if applicable 2.5.19.2, until a commonprotocol version is selected by both systems. Examples ofprotocol initialization are given in Attachment 13.

COMMENTARY

In addition to a “power-reset” or a system “re-initialization,” a device that supports the bit-oriented

protocol may at any time determine the ARINC 429link status using the ALO/ALR process described inSection 2.5.19.1 and Section 2.5.19.2.

2.5.19.1 Bit-Oriented Protocol Version

The ALO/ALR process is intended to be used when asystem needs to determine whether or not an interfacesupports the bit-oriented protocol. To maintaininteroperability, all systems which support the Link layerBit-Oriented Protocol must be able to respond to theinitialization of this process. Attachment 11, Table 11-4,shows the ALO and ALR word formats.

When a system with a bit-oriented Link layer protocol hasthe need to make this determination, it should construct theALO word and transmit this word to the device in question.

The system should then wait for a maximum period of timedefined by T12. If the device in question has not respondedwithin time T12, the initiating system should initiate anotherALO word and again delay up to T12. The initiating systemshould attempt a maximum of N6 ALO word operationsbefore declaring the device in question as “Not bit-oriented”or “Not able to respond.”

2.5.19.1.1 ALOHA

The first ALOHA word transmitted in a sequence shouldcontain the highest Version Number supported by thesource device. If the ALOHA Response contains a versionthat does not match the ALO version, the source deviceshould take one of the following actions:

a. If the source device is able to adapt to the differences inprotocol version, file transfers may proceed using theprotocol version identified in the ALR word.

b. If the source device is not able to adapt to thedifferences in protocol version, the source should againinitiate the ALOHA word with the version field set tothe highest version supported by the source that is lowerthan the version indicated in the previous ALR (seeexamples identified in Attachment 13A).

The ALO/ALR protocol determination process shouldcontinue until a common protocol version is found. If noneof the protocol versions match, the source should notify thehigher level entity of the communications failure andcontinue the protocol determination process.

When the system only supports bit oriented protocols itshould repeat the process described in this section. Whenthe system also supports character oriented protocols thenthe process defined in 2.5.19.2 should be followed. Theprotocol determination process will continue until acommon protocol is found. See Attachment 17.

The ALOHA word should contain a Subsystem SAL fieldas shown in Attachment 11, Table 11-4. This field shouldcontain the SAL of the device sending the ALOHA word,with bit 17 as the most significant bit and bit 24 as the leastsignificant bit of the Subsystem SAL.

2.0 BIT-ORIENTED FILE TRANSFER PROTOCOL

2.5.19.1.2 ALOHA Response

A device that supports the bit-oriented Link layer protocolshould always be able to respond to the receipt of the ALOword. Whenever a device receives the ALO word, it shouldleave its present task and respond within T15 with an ALRword.

The ALR response should reflect the device’s protocolversion level by way of the Version Number containedwithin the ALR word. If the Version Number of the ALOdoes not match the sink device’s protocol Version Number,the sink device should select the next lowest versionsupported (equal to or lower than the version indicated bythe previous ALO word) and indicate this new version inthe ALR word.

After the device has responded to the ALO word (with theALR), the device should take the following action:

If the device was in the sink mode (had already begunreceiving any LDU of a file), it should discard any partialfile it had received. Since the ALO represents a system “re-initialization” (per Section 2.3), the source may reset theFile and LDU sequence numbers.

If the device was in the source mode (had already beguntransmitting any LDU or file), it should resend the entire filebeginning with the first LDU of the file.

If Option O12 is selected for a particular bit-orientedprotocol interface, the device receiving an ALOHA wordshould use the Subsystem SAL from the ALOHA word asthe SAL of the ALOHA Response (ALR) word and for allsubsequent bit-oriented protocol transmissions for thatinterface.

COMMENTARY

A bit-oriented Link layer protocol device receiving anALOHA word should take caution if utilizing theSubsystem SAL field of the ALOHA word todetermine how to send the ALR reply. Previoussupplements of the bit-oriented Link layer protocoldefined the Subsystem SAL field as [TBD] bits, and assuch, some devices in service may have encoded non-zero bits in this field. A receiving system shouldtherefore implement a reasonableness check to validatethat the data bits received in this field represent a SALassociated with a known bit-oriented Link layerprotocol device. If a device receives an ALOHA wordcontaining a System SAL of all zeros or an unknownSAL, and the ALOHA word is received on a data busthat has a specific bit-oriented Link layer protocolsubsystem associated with it, it is recommended thatthe ALR word be attempted using the SAL for thatspecific subsystem, to ensure interoperability.

2.5.19.2 Williamsburg/File Transfer Determination

In some situations there may be a transition period from adevice using the character-oriented file transfer protocoldefined in ARINC Specification 619 to the same deviceusing the Williamsburg bit-oriented protocol introduced inSupplement 12. In this situation, it is desirable to have an

“automatic” determination sequence which allows thedevices to adjust from the character-oriented to bit-orientedprotocol. Because of the environment in which thesedevices are to operate, it is necessary to have a cyclicprocess to establish the protocol to communicate with. Anattempt to establish contact using the bit-oriented ALO-ALR words should be made to the point where the link isconsidered to be failed or to be established.

If the link has been established, then normal bit-orientedcommunications can be pursued. If the link is consideredfailed, then an attempt to obtain a response to the character-oriented RTS-CTS words should be made. The typicalrepeat sequence for the character-oriented protocol is 3 tries(See Attachment 13). If a character-oriented CTS, NCTS(CTS 0), or BUSY (CTS Q) response is obtained, then thelink is considered established and normal character-orientedcommunications can be pursued. If the character-orientedprotocol fails, then the cycle should be re-started using thebit-oriented ALO sequence. There may be a period ofinactivity between cyclic attempts of not more than 15seconds. Attachment 17 contains an example diagram ofthese determination sequences.

If a protocol has been established and the link fails becauseof a loss of activity (if defined on that bus), or because of afailure to deliver a message due to a no response, then theprotocol determination sequence should be started again. Agraphical representation of this is presented in Attachment17.

COMMENTARY

This determination sequence is only necessary whenthere is a possibility of having to support both the oldercharacter-oriented protocol and the newer bit-orientedprotocol on the same ARINC 429 data bus.

COMMENTARY

During the protocol determination process, a bilingualdevice should recognize protocol words using both thebit-oriented (Williamsburg) and the character-orientedformats. It is recommended that at least the ALOHAword and the character-oriented RTS and NAK wordsbe recognized by the device capable of the automaticprotocol determination. This would minimizesynchronization problems between the twocommunicating devices and allow the Link layer methodto be established in a timely manner.

COMMENTARY

When an LRU performs the character protocoldetermination (RTS) it is initiating the sequence ofevents for a file transfer, but it does not complete the filetransfer. Some LRUs will wait forever for the filetransfer to be completed unless the source sends a NAKword to terminate the file transfer. Therefore, it isrecommended that protocol determination logic whichincludes character protocol should transmit a characteroriented NAK word when a character oriented CTSword is received in response to a character oriented RTSword.

3.0 BIT-ORIENTED MEDIA ACCESS CONTROL (MAC) PROTOCOL

3.1 Bit-Oriented Media Access Control (MAC) Protocol

3.1.1 Introduction

This section describes Version 3 of the bit-oriented(Williamsburg) protocol. It is an IEEE 802 compliant MACprotocol for frame oriented data transfer using the Data Linklayer.

Within the ISO/OSI Reference Model, the Data Link layer isresponsible for the logical connection between at least twoentities of the same Local Area Network (LAN). It interfacesto the Network layer, which is responsible for the connectionbetween at least two networks, and the Physical layer, which isresponsible for the physical connection between adjacentnodes, i.e. repeaters, bridges or computers. The Data Linklayer is further divided into two sublayers.

The Media Access Control (MAC) sublayer, which is aPhysical, layer dependent entity. The purpose of the MAC isto provide a standard interface to the entities above it. TheMAC isolates the sublayer above it from the details of thePhysical layer. The ARINC 429 MAC is defined herein.

The Logical Link Control (LLC) sublayer is assumed byIEEE/ISO as the second sublayer, which is a physicallyindependent control sublayer.

For further description of the OSI protocol layers please referto Section 2.5 of this document.

COMMENTARY

Generally, multiple MAC Service Clients (users)interface with the MAC entity (MAC Service Provider).In the IEEE/ISO set of standards the LLC is the mostprominent one. Additionally, the bridging function mayact as a MAC Service Client as well as a MAC Controlfunction. In the non-OSI world there are a variety ofdifferent protocols that may or may not directly interfacewith the MAC. Here, the most prominent one is InternetProtocol (IP). LLC Service Providers are required forsome classes of IEEE 802.3 Local and Metropolitan AreaNetworks, specifically where the MAC frame containsinsufficient information for protocol selection, or whenrequired by higher layer protocols (specifically OSI basedprotocols such as ATN). This document follows theguidance of IEEE 802.3 where the Length/Type field isused to select between LLC as a MAC Client, and wherethe Network Layer is selected as the MAC Client. Theselection of MAC Client (LLC or non-LLC frame format)is mutually exclusive.

In order to make ARINC 429 compatible with standarddata buses adopted by the Institute of Electrical andElectronics Engineers (IEEE) and the InternationalOrganization for Standardization (ISO) it is paramount tosupport their common functionality and interfaces whichare constituted by the MAC.

In order to facilitate bridging between this version of theprotocol and other IEEE data buses the followingsubsections are closely modeled after IEEE 802.3(Ethernet).

Throughout Section 3 of this document the followingterms are being used:

MAC Sublayer: This term refers to the abstractdefinition of a layered communication stack in whichthe MAC Sublayer is part of the Data Link layer.

MAC Entity: Implementation of the functionalitydescribed for the MAC Sublayer

MAC Service Provider: This term can be usedinterchangeably with MAC entity and is supposed toprovide context to the Client/Server nature of the layersof the communication stack.

MAC Service Client: Any entity (implementation) thatuses the services of the MAC entity (implementation)

MAC Frame: Logical representation of the informationstructures exchanged between peer MAC entities. Adetailed description of the structures are given inSection 3.3

Frame Data Unit (FDU): An ARINC 429 envelope thatcontains a MAC frame as well as specific controlinformation. A detailed description of the structures isgiven in Section 3.4.

3.1.2 Relationship Between Version 1 And Version 3Protocols

The bit-oriented MAC protocol (Version 3) is derivedfrom the full-handshake (Version 1) bit-orientedprotocol (BOP) defined in Section 2.5 of thisspecification. Version 3 is presented to MAC ServiceClients that do not require or desire the more exhaustiveData Link layer transfer validation provided by theVersion 1 protocol.

The Version 3 protocol assumes a sufficiently robustARINC 429 physical layer. All valid frames received bythe sink are passed up to the MAC Service Client. Thedemands for buffering are much greater for Version 3than for Version 1. In Version 1 the transmitter isresponsible for buffering, in Version 3 the receiver isresponsible.

The Version 1 ARINC 429 LDU full and partial datawords have been retained. New SOF and EOF wordshave been defined for Version 3 (see Sections 3.4.6 and3.4.8) which replace the Version 1 SOT and EOT words.The bit-oriented MAC protocol does not use the RTS,CTS, NCTS, BUSY, SYN, ACK and NAK words. Onlysingle Frame Data Unit (FDU) transmissions aresupported. Duplicate FDU detection is not performed bythe MAC. Any segmentation and reassembly, ifnecessary, should take place above the ARINC 429 MACsublayer. The terms Frame Data Unit (FDU) and MACframe are defined in Sections 3.3.1, 3.3.2, and 3.4.1.

The Version 3 bit-oriented MAC protocol specifies fullduplex operation (O1) to allow simultaneous datatransfers in both directions. The Version 1 bit-oriented(Williamsburg) protocol typically operates in half-duplexmode only.

3.0 BIT-ORIENTED MEDIA ACCESS CONTROL (MAC) PROTOCOL

3.1.3 Protocol Architecture

The MAC protocol described herein can support MACservice clients that are part of the Data Link layer such asLLC and can support MAC service clients in higher layerentities such as the Network Layer. A protocol architecturediagram is used to illustrate this relationship (See Figure 18-1 of Attachment 18).

3.1.4 Buffering

The MAC sublayer should provide sufficient buffering toaccount for expected processing/queuing delays. Someprovisions for flow control are provided through the MACsublayer (see Section 3.2.4). Flow control is primarily theresponsibility of the MAC service client or a higher levelentity.

COMMENTARY

Each layer should have sufficient buffering for expectedprocessing/queuing delays. In order to accurately estimatethe amount of buffering needed, each layer will need tospecify the maximum allowed delays. However, if thebuffering capacity is exceeded, new FDUs are discarded.

There is a non-zero time delay between the time when aFDU arrives at the ARINC 429 MAC sublayer and thetime when the MAC Service Client processes that sameframe. Any flow control, introduced between twosystems, is provided by entities above the MAC serviceentity sending messages to each other. For this reason, theentity responsible for flow control should attempt toanticipate the need to activate flow control in order toaccommodate the delays.

The entity responsible for flow control should attempt tohave adequate buffering capacity to handle all FDUtransfers received from the time it exerts flow control tothe time when the source flow control entity stopstransmitting. This will only be possible if the maximumallowed delay in each of the various components isspecified. These delays include any processing orqueuing delays introduced by communications with theMAC Service Client.

Failure to coordinate the requirements (i.e. delays) willmake it difficult to consistently provide adequatebuffering capacity and may lead to data loss and possiblecommunication failures.

If buffering of incoming frames is done at the MAC sublayer,then the reception status parameter of the MAC primitive,MA_DATA.indication (see Section 3.2.3) should be used toinform the MAC Service Client of a buffering problem for thereceived frame.

COMMENTARY

ISO standards documents do not explicitly specify atwhich (sub) layer buffering is accomplished.

3.2 Media Access Control (MAC) Sublayer

This section describes the various aspects of the MACsublayer functionality. The MAC Sublayer ServiceSpecification (Section 3.2.1) details the procedures inan abstract way (via service primitives) that provide thecommunication service to the MAC Service Client. Thesubsequent section, MAC Frame Structures (Section3.3), defines the MAC frames that will be presented toand expected from the peer MAC entity. The nextsection, MAC Transmit/Receive Functions (Section3.4), is related more to the interface with the particularARINC 429 transmission and reception process itselfand specifies how the FDUs are structured as asequence of ARINC 429 words.

There are two types of applications that have driven thedevelopment of this version of the protocol. One is theneed for a bridgeable protocol that can transfer databetween an ARINC 429 bus and a non-ARINC 429based data bus. This type of application would need fastfile transfer traffic that is focused upon aircraft-widetopology and would utilize an independent exchange ofMAC frame-based information.

The other need is to transfer local, ARINC 429 only,fast file transfer traffic that is focused upon exchangesbetween two closely cooperating systems. In order toallow for the optimized transmission of the two types ofinformation, two specialized MAC frame structureshave been defined, the Information frame and theCommand frame. The Information frame is intended tobe bridgeable to IEEE 802.3 (Ethernet). The Commandframe is not bridgeable. Option 13 (O13) in Table 10-3Bof Attachment 10 allows for the apriori selection offrame type, based on the applicable equipment interfacespecification.

From a transmitter’s point of view, i.e., the originatingMAC Service Client, one parameter within theMA_DATA.request primitive selects which type ofMAC frame to create (see Section 3.2.2.2.4).

From the receivers point of view, i.e., the receivingMAC Service Client, the type of frame (Information orCommand) received is indicated through a parameter inthe MA_DATA.indication primitive, based on thecontents of the SOF word (see Sections 3.2.3.2.7 and3.4.6).

The Version 3 Information frame format facilitatesbridging between this version of the ARINC 429protocol and IEEE data buses. The followingsubsections are closely modeled after IEEE 802.3(Ethernet).

The Version 3 Command frame format facilitates theexchange of command/response pairs, which are peer-to-peer only and hence do not require the additionaladdressing capability provided by the Informationframe.

3.2.1 MAC Sublayer Service Specification

This section describes the services that the MediaAccess Control Sublayer provides to the next higherlayer, i.e., to the MAC Service Client. The services

ARINC SPECIFICATION 429 PART 3 - Page 16

3.0 BIT-ORIENTED MEDIA ACCESS CONTROL (MAC) PROTOCOL

3.2.1 MAC Sublayer Service Specification (cont’d)

are described in an abstract way and do not imply anyparticular implementation or any exposed interface. There isnot necessarily a one-to-one correspondence between theprimitives described herein and the implementation.

Four primitives are used to describe this interface. They are:

MA_DATA.requestMA_DATA.indicationMA_CONTROL.request (optional)MA_CONTROL.indication (optional)

The MAC sublayer is depicted in Attachment 18 Figure18-2.

These primitives describe the required local informationneeded to identify the purpose of the incoming or outgoingdata transfers. Their services are described in the followingsubsections. These services are local to each device and donot imply any particular implementation at the serviceinterface.

This section provides all the information needed in order toinitiate transfer or process reception of user data or controlinformation.

3.2.2 MA_DATA.request

The MA_DATA.request primitive is used to describe howto transmit data that is carried by a MAC frame. The serviceis looked at from the transmitting MAC Service Client pointof view.

The requesting MAC Service Client needs to providesufficient information to the MAC sublayer to enable theMAC sublayer to format a FDU for transmission to a peerMAC Service Client. This information should include thedestination, the data and the transmission service(Information or Command).

3.2.2.1 Function

The MA_DATA.request primitive defines the transfer ofdata from a local MAC Service Client entity to a single peerMAC Service Client entity (or entities in the case of groupaddresses).

The ARINC 429 MAC protocol provides two classes ofservice, the Command frame (local non-bridgeable frame)and the Information frame (bridgeable frame).

3.2.2.2 Semantics

The following parameters are provided with this primitive:

MA_DATA.request(destination_MA_address,destination_SAL_addressm_sdu,service_class)

3.2.2.2.1 destination_MA_address

The destination_MA_address parameter should provideeither an individual or a group MAC address when an

Information frame is to be sent. If an invalid address isbeing handed over, the primitive should not initiate aFDU transmission. Instead, the MA_DATA.requestshould be dropped and the layer management should beinformed.

The destination_MA_address is not used with aCommand frame, but is required for an Informationframe.

The format and contents of thedestination_MA_address for an Information frame isdefined in ARINC Specification 664.

COMMENTARY

At the time this text was written, ARINCSpecification 664 was in draft state i.e., Project Paper664.

3.2.2.2.2 destination_ SAL _address

The destination_SAL_address is required for bothCommand and Information frames. Thedestination_SAL_ address field contains the SAL to beused for transmitting the FDU.

The destination_SAL_address field for an Informationframe can contain either a unique SAL, a multicast SALor a bridge SAL.

The destination_SAL_address field for a Commandframe should contain a unique SAL.

The format and content of the SAL is defined inARINC Specification 429, Part 1.

3.2.2.2.3 m_sdu

The m_sdu parameter indicates the MAC service dataunit (data content) to be transmitted by the MACsublayer entity.

If the m_sdu is empty, i.e. the length is zero, theMA_DATA.request primitive should not cause theinitiation of a FDU transmission. Instead, theMA_DATA.request should be dropped and the layermanagement should be informed. The MAC ServiceClient should not create a MA_DATA.request with anempty m_sdu field.

3.2.2.2.4 service_ class

The service class parameter indicates a quality ofservice requested by the MAC Service Client. Theparameter indicates whether an Information orCommand frame should be constructed. For aCommand frame, the GFI field and Command Typefield values are also indicated via this parameter (seeSections 3.3.2.1 and 3.3.2.2)

COMMENTARY

Currently, two services have been defined, whichare “Transmission of Information Frame” and“Transmission of Command Frame”. Thedetermination of how to initiate one or the other is

c-17 c-17

Page 464: ARINC 429-16

ARINC SPECIFICATION 429 PART 3 - Page 17

3.0 BIT-ORIENTED MEDIA ACCESS CONTROL (MAC) PROTOCOL

done locally and is a matter of implementation.However, care should be taken in selecting themechanism to forward that information. More servicesmight be defined at a later stage, which in turn mightcreate a conflict with the implementation.

There is an implication on the destination address fieldthat originates from the determination of which type offrame to use. The Command frame uses only the uniqueSystem Address Label (SAL) that has been defined forVersion 1 of this protocol. The Information frame,however, needs two addresses in parallel: the IEEEcompliant 48-bit destination and source addresses as wellas a SAL.

3.2.2.3 When Generated

The MAC Service Client generates the MA_DATA.requestprimitive. It is a request by a MAC Service Client to thelocal MAC sublayer to transfer a MAC Service Data Unit(m_sdu) to a peer MAC Service Client entity (or entities).The primitive is generated either as the result of a requestfrom a higher layer entity, or internally from the MACService Client itself.

3.2.2.4 Effect of Receipt

Upon receipt of the MA_DATA.request primitive, the MACsublayer first creates the MAC frame by appending anyMAC-specific fields (See Section 3.3.1 and 3.3.2).

Secondly, the MAC service entity packs the resulting MACframe into an ARINC 429 “container” consisting of a seriesof contiguous ARINC 429 32-bit words (See Section 3.4.1)to create a FDU. It transmits the properly formatted FDU tothe peer MAC sublayer entity (or entities) by means of thePhysical layer services for subsequent transfer to theassociated MAC Service Clients.

3.2.3 MA_DATA.indication

The MA_DATA.indication primitive is used to describe, atthe destination MAC Service Client, the mechanics to beused in order to receive data that is carried by a FDU. Theservice is looked at from the receiving MAC Service Clientpoint of view. This primitive is generated by the MAC entityupon reception of a valid FDU, and recreation of the MACframe.

3.2.3.1 Function

The MA_DATA.indication primitive defines the transfer ofdata from a remote MAC Service Client entity to a localpeer MAC Service Client entity.

3.2.3.2 Semantics

The following parameters are provided with theMA_DATA.indication primitive:

MA_DATA.indication

(destination_MA_address,

destination_SAL_address,

source_MA_address

source_SAL_address

m_sdu,

reception_status,

service_class)

3.2.3.2.1 destination_MA_address

The destination_MA_address is obtained from theInformation frame and will contain either an individualor a group MAC entity address. Thedestination_MA_address parameter is empty when theMA_DATA.Indication is generated in response toreceiving a Command frame

3.2.3.2.2 destination_SAL_address

The destination_SAL_address data is obtained from thereceived FDU for either an Information or Commandframe.

3.2.3.2.3 source_MA_ address

The source_MA_address parameter contains the datafrom the source_MA_address field of an incoming FDUthat contains an Information frame. For MACaddressing information refer to ARINC Specification664.

COMMENTARY

At the time this text was written, ARINCSpecification 664 was in draft state i.e., ProjectPaper 664.

The source_MA_address parameter is empty when theMA_DATA.indication is generated in response toreceiving a Command frame.

3.2.3.2.4 source_SAL_ address

The source_SAL_address is generated by the MACbased on the physical port on which the Information orCommand frame was received.

3.2.3.2.5 m_sdu

The m_sdu parameter indicates the MAC service dataunit as received by the local MAC sublayer entity.

3.2.3.2.6 reception_status

The reception_status parameter is used to pass statusinformation to the MAC Service Client. The content ofthis parameter is implementation specific.

3.2.3.2.7 service_class

The service_class parameter is used to indicate whetheran incoming frame is an Information or Commandframe. If it is a Command frame, the GFI and commandtype (CT) information is also passed to the MACService Client.

3.0 BIT-ORIENTED MEDIA ACCESS CONTROL (MAC) PROTOCOL

3.2.3.3 When Generated

The MA_DATA.indication primitive is passed from theMAC sublayer to the MAC Service Client to indicate thearrival of a FDU at the local MAC sublayer entity. TheMAC Sublayer first validates the FDU (see Section 3.4.12)and then removes the ARINC 429 “container” (i.e., theARINC 429 32 bit word protocol headers/footers) andcombines the resulting data and parameters into aMA_DATA.indication primitive. The primitive is reportedonly if the frame is valid (see Sections 3.3.1.5 and 3.3.2.5).

3.2.3.4 Effect of Receipt

The effect of receipt by the MAC Service Client is notdefined in this document. Refer to the appropriate ARINCspecification for MAC Service Client definitions.

Since buffering capacity is limited, in the event the MACService Client can not consume a frame, any subsequentframes may be discarded.

3.2.4 MAC Control functions

The MAC control function is derived from IEEE 802.3Clause 31. Support of MAC control provides for real-timecontrol and manipulation of MAC sublayer operations, andis provided as an Option (O14) for the Version 3 protocol.Sections 3.2.4.1 and 3.2.4.2 describe this method ofproviding flow control for the Version 3 bit-orientedprotocol using either the Information frame format forEthernet bridgeable interfaces, or the Command frameformat for non-bridgeable interfaces. Frames destined forthe MAC control sublayer (MAC Control frames) aredistinguished from frames destined for MAC Service Clientsby a unique identifier.

For Information frames, the MAC Control Sublayer receivesm_sdu frames and examines the ‘Type’ field for this uniqueidentifier to determine if it is equal to control value (Pauseopcode) of 8808 hex. If it is equal to 8808 hex, the MACControl sublayer processes the Information frame.Otherwise the Information frame is passed to the MACService Client without modification.

For Command frames, the MAC Control Sublayer examinesthe Command Type parameter. If it is set to ‘MAC Control’(and the first two octets of the m_sdu contain the Pauseopcode, 8808 hex), the MAC Control sublayer processes theCommand frame. Otherwise the Command frame is passedto the MAC Service Client without modification.

In the Version 1 protocol, flow control was provided throughthe use of BUSY and NCTS word responses to an RTS word.These ARINC 429 specific protocol words are not used inVersion 3.

For Version 3, the Ethernet compatible PAUSE function isdefined at the MAC Control sublayer. This control sublayeris part of the MAC, physically located just above the MACsublayer, but below the MAC Service Client. Figure 18-2 ofAttachment 18 depicts the usage of interlayer interfaces bythe MAC Control sublayer. LRUs that support the option(O14) to implement the MAC control sublayer shouldsupport the optional MAC service primitives,MA_CONTROL.request and MA_CONTROL. indication,as illustrated. The PAUSE operation is used to inhibit

transmission of data frames from a directly connectedfull-duplex peer system only, and is therefore notbridgeable.

3.2.4.1 MA_CONTROL.request

The MA_CONTROL.request primitive is generated bythe local MAC Control client to send to its peer, via theMAC sublayer, to request inhibiting of MAC frametransmissions from another system for a specifiedperiod of time. The MA_CONTROL.request primitivespecifies:

a1. the destination_MA_address (for an Informationframe) or

a2. Command Type set to MAC Control (for aCommand frame)

b. the PAUSE opcode (8808 hex)

c. a Request_operand indicating the length of timefor which it wishes to inhibit data frametransmission and

d. the Destination SAL.

The size of a MAC Control frame is 32-bits: a 16-bit(PAUSE opcode), and a 16-bit request operand.

An example of the format of the MAC Control frameusing both the Information and Command frame DataUnit (FDU) formats is illustrated in Attachments 19 and20.

The Pause quanta (units of pause time) inhibitstransmission of data frames for a specific period oftime. The pause time quanta for Williamsburg Version3 over high speed ARINC 429 is 5 milliseconds.

The PAUSE flow control function is defined as optional(O14) for Version 3, since it is not anticipated that allVersion 3 interface implementations, such as that of theCMU/VDR, will require flow control at the MACsublayer. (i.e., VDR Mode A uses the MSK modulationscheme so air/ground throughput is somewhat limited andthe need for flow control is not anticipated. For VDLMode 2, the ARINC 429 MAC Service Client isAVLC/8208, which provides flow control from the CMUto the DSP ground station.)

COMMENTARY

IEEE 802.3, 1998 Annex 31B.2 states: “The pause-time is measured in units of pause quanta, equal to512 bit times for the particular implementation. Therange of possible pause time is 0 to 65535 pausequanta.” The bit time for 10 megabit Ethernet is 0.1us, therefore a pause quanta is 51.2 us for this media.

The bit time for 100 kilobit high speed ARINC 429 is 10us, therefore the pause quanta for high speed ARINC 429is 5.12 ms, or approximately 5 ms. The pause time rangefor ARINC 429 is then from 5 ms to 327 seconds. It isrecommended that the pause range be appropriate for theapplication being supported to prevent adverse effects.

ARINC SPECIFICATION 429 PART 3 - Page 19

3.0 BIT-ORIENTED MEDIA ACCESS CONTROL (MAC) PROTOCOL

COMMENTARY

In typical operation the PAUSE function can be used inan X-OFF, X-ON operation by setting the pause_time toa large value, then when convenient, sending anotherPAUSE command with the pause_time = 0 to restarttransmission. Sending another MAC Control framebefore the Pause value in the previous MAC Controlframe times out should cause the sink to replace thecurrent Pause value with the new Pause value, if non-zero, and restart the timer. A Pause value of 0 terminatesthe Pause and restores normal operation.

3.2.4.2 MA_CONTROL.indication

The MA_CONTROL.indication primitive indicates thestatus of the local PAUSE operation (i.e., paused, or notpaused) to the MAC Service Client.

When the MAC Control sublayer receives a MAC Controlframe indicating a Pause condition, it should:

a. Notify the local MAC sublayer to stop sendingframes to the peer MAC sublayer. The MAC sublayershould complete a frame transmission in progress.

b. Notify the local MAC Service Client of the Pausecondition.

c. Start timer of duration indicated in the MAC Controlframe.

d. Refuse frames from the local MAC Service Clientuntil the timer expires.

When the pause timer expires the MAC Service Clientshould be notified. Likewise, when another control framewith the pause_time set equal to 0 is received then the MACService Client should be notified and normal operationresumed.

COMMENTARY

The design of ARINC 429 ICs frequently containtransmit FIFOs in order to reduce the burden on themicroprocessor and therefore do not facilitate thetermination of data transmission in mid frame. Animplementation that does terminate transmission midframe will cause Timer T17 in the receiver to time out.

3.3 MAC Frame Structures

This section defines in detail the MAC frame structures forARINC 429 using MAC procedures. It defines the relativepositions of the various components of the MAC frame. Itdescribes the general method for representing stationaddresses as well as ARINC 429 specific System AddressLabels (see Section 3.4.3). Refer to ARINC Specification664 for the MAC address specification for Informationframes.

COMMENTARY

At the time this text was written, ARINC Specification664 was in draft state i.e., Project Paper 664.

3.3.1 Information Frame Format

The MAC Information frame comprises 5 fields: thedestination address field, the source address field, thelength/type field, the data field and the frame checksequence field. Of these 5 fields all except the data fieldare of fixed length. Due to the transmission schemeused no preamble or delimiter fields are required aswith other technologies. The frame check sequencefield has been put into the EOF (see Section 3.4.8)words. Attachment 20 shows the format of theInformation frame (and the FDU structure).

3.3.1.1 Address fields

Each MAC Information frame contains two addressfields: the destination and the source address field, theyare constructed the same way. The destination fieldspecifies the MAC entity (or entities) for which theFDU is intended. The source address field identifies theMAC entity from which the FDU is initiated. Eachaddress field contains 48 bits (i.e., six octets). For theconstruction of the MAC address fields see ARINCSpecification 664.

COMMENTARY

At the time this text was written, ARINCSpecification 664 was in draft state i.e., Project Paper664.

3.3.1.2 Length/Type Field

The Length/Type Field is defined in IEEE 802.3 Clause3.2.6. This 2-octet field takes one of two meanings,depending on its numeric value.

a. If the value of this field is less than or equal to1500 decimal, then the Length/Type fieldindicates the number of MAC client data octetscontained in the subsequent data field of theframe (Length interpretation). In this case theMAC Client is defined to be the LLC serviceentity, and the LLC header should immediatelyfollow the IEEE 802.3 header.

b. If the value of this field is equal to or greaterthan 1536 decimal, than the Length/Type fieldindicates the nature of the MAC Client protocol(Client interpretation).

c. Any other value of this field is consideredundefined (i.e., values between 1500 and 1536)

3.3.1.2.1 Length

If the Length/Type field is a Length value, the use ofIEEE 802.3 LLC is assumed. The values and uses of theLLC field are beyond the scope of this specification.

Length indicates the total number of octets in the datafield of the frame. It does not include the address fields,the length/type field, or the FCS field.

Valid values for length are between 1 and 1500.

3.0 BIT-ORIENTED MEDIA ACCESS CONTROL (MAC) PROTOCOL

3.3.1.2.1 Length (cont’d)

COMMENTARY (cont’d)

The maximum size permitted by IEEE 802.3 is 1500bytes for the payload of an Ethernet frame (i.e., them_sdu size of an Ethernet frame).

3.3.1.2.2 Type

Protocols other than LLC may be used and this is supportedby using the Length/Type field as an indicator of protocoltype. When the Length/Type field is used in this mannerthen it should contain the protocol type consistent with theprotocol encapsulated by the Ethernet frame. Valid valuesfor the type field are defined in ARINC Specification 664.

COMMENTARY

At the time this text was written, ARINC Specification664 was in draft state i.e., Project Paper 664.

3.3.1.3 Data Field

The data field can contain up to 2536 (2550-14) octets.However, the number of data field octets should be limitedto 1500 in order to allow bridging to Ethernet-basednetworks.

Full data transparency is provided in the sense that anyarbitrary sequence of octet values may appear in the datafield.

3.3.1.4 Frame Check Sequence (FCS) Field

A cyclic redundancy check (CRC) sequence is used by thetransmit and receive algorithms to generate and check a 32-bit (4-octet) CRC value. This value is computed as afunction of the contents of the source address field,destination address field, Length/Type field and data field.The encoding is performed by the generating polynomial asdefined in Section 3.4.9. The FCS is calculated by thetransmitting MAC Service Entity and appended to the MACframe. The FCS is recalculated and verified by the receivingMAC Service Entity following reconstruction of the entireframe and prior to providing the MA_DATA.indication tothe MAC Service Client.

If Option O15 is not selected, the 32 bit CRC will not begenerated or evaluated across the interface. If not used forcontaining the CRC, the FCS field should be set to binaryzero to indicate to the receiving MAC service entity that theFCS was not calculated by the transmitting MAC serviceentity.

COMMENTARY

Not implementing (generating and validating) a FrameCheck Sequence in the Information frame may havenegative consequences on system integrity. Theintegrator is cautioned to be aware of applications thatutilize the interface in which Option 15 has not beenselected.

3.3.1.5 Validation of Information Frame

The receiving MAC sublayer should determine the validityof the incoming Information frame before passing the MACframe to its local Service Client. The following subsections

list the conditions for which the Information frame issaid to be invalid. The contents of invalid MAC framesshould not be passed to the local MAC Service Client,however reception of an invalid frame, and the reasonfor declaring it invalid, should be indicated to the MACService Client.

3.3.1.5.1 Invalid Address

Address checking should be performed according toARINC Specification 664.

3.3.1.5.2 Invalid Length/Type

If the value in the Length/Type field is not a valid valueas defined in section 3.3.1.2.1 and is not a known Typevalue then the MAC frame is considered invalid.

If the Length/Type field contains a length value and thenumber of octets does not match the length then theMAC frame is considered invalid.

3.3.1.5.3 Invalid FCS

The receiving MAC sublayer should verify the 32-bitFCS of the received MAC frame. If the 32-bit FCS isinvalid, the MAC frame is also invalid

The value of binary zero in the FCS field is a uniqueand valid FCS if CRC generation (O15) is not selected.This indicates that the source MAC Service Entity doesnot calculate the CRC for this field. The receivingsystem should check that CRC non-generation (O15) hasbeen selected for this port.

3.3.2 Command Frame Format

For a MAC Command frame the following four fieldsare needed:

a. the GFI field ,

b. the Command Type field,

c. the Data field and

d. the Frame Check Sequence field.

Of these four fields all except the data field are fixedlength. In order to retain as much compatibility withARINC 429 Williamsburg processing as possible, theframe check field has been put into the EOF word (SeeSection 3.4.8). Attachment 19 shows the format of theCommand frame (and FDU) structure.

The Command frame does not contain separate addressfields like the Information frame. It relies on theARINC 429 SAL for addressing. For the definition ofthe SAL see Section 3.4.3.

3.3.2.1 GFI Field

In order to retain as much compatibility with ARINC429 Williamsburg Version 1 as possible, the GFI fieldhas been retained in the SOF word. See Section 2.5 forthe definition of GFI. If the GFI field is not used, thisfield is set to binary zeroes.

ARINC SPECIFICATION 429 PART 3 - Page 21

3.0 BIT-ORIENTED MEDIA ACCESS CONTROL (MAC) PROTOCOL

3.3.2.2 Command Type Field

The Command Type field was created to provide amechanism for the receiver to differentiate between aCommand frame that contains a command message, acontrol message, or a data message (such as a VDL Mode 2frame transmitted across a CMU/VDR interface).

3.3.2.3 Data Field

The Data field contains up to 2552 octets. Full datatransparency is provided in the sense that any arbitrarysequence of octet values may appear in the data field.

3.3.2.4 Frame Check Sequence (FCS) Field

A Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) sequence is used by thetransmit and receive algorithms to generate and check a 16-bit (2-octet) CRC value. This value is computed as afunction of the contents of the data field. The encoding isperformed by the generating polynomial as defined inSection 3.4.9.

3.3.2.5 Validation of Command Frame

The receiving MAC sublayer should determine the validityof the incoming Command frame before passing the MACframe to its local Service Client. The following subsectionlists the condition for which the Command frame is said tobe invalid. The contents of invalid MAC frames should notbe passed to the MAC Service Client.

3.3.2.5.1 Invalid FCS

The receiving MAC sublayer should verify the 16-bit FCSof the received MAC frame. If the 16-bit FCS is invalid, theMAC frame is also invalid.

3.4 MAC Transmit/Receive Functions

This section defines the functions to transmit and receive thecontents of FDUs on the physical medium. It is also known asthe interface to the Physical layer.

3.4.1 Frame Data Unit (FDU)

A Frame Data Unit (FDU) envelops a MAC frame andconsists of a set of contiguous ARINC 429 32-bit words, eachcontaining the System Address Label (see Section 3.4.3) ofthe sink. A FDU can be either an Information frame or aCommand frame. The initial data word of each FDU is a Startof Frame (SOF) data word (see Section 3.4.6). The MACframe (See Section 3.3) is contained within the data words thatfollow. The FDU is concluded with one or two consecutiveEnd of Frame (EOF) words (see Section 3.4.8). A FDUalways consists of no more than one frame.

A Frame Data Unit (FDU) contains binary encoded octets.The octets may be set to any possible binary value. The FDUcontains any string of bits desired. The only restriction is thatthe bits be organized into full 8 bit octets. The interpretationof those bits is not a part of this specification.

3.4.2 Frame Data Unit (FDU) Size and Word Count

The FDU word count is the sum of the SOF word, the datawords containing the MAC frame, and the EOF word(s). TheFrame Data Unit (FDU) may vary in size from a minimum of

three, to a maximum of 1023 ARINC 429 words(including the SOF and EOF words). When a FDU isorganized for transmission, the total number of ARINC429 words to be sent (word count) is calculated.

3.4.3 System Address Labels (SALs)

Each on-board system attached to an ARINC 429 bus thatrequires aperiodic message capability is assigned aSystem Address Label (SAL). The listing of SALassignments can be found in Attachment 11 to ARINCSpecification 429, Part 1. FDUs are sent point-to-point,even though other systems may be connected andlistening to the output of a transmitting system. In orderto identify the intended recipient of a transmission, theLabel field (bits 1-8) is used to carry a System AddressLabel (SAL).

When a system sends a FDU to another system, thesending system (source) addresses each ARINC 429word to the receiving system (sink) by setting the Labelfield to the SAL assigned to the sink.

Apart from existing system specific unique SALs, twouniversally applicable SALs have been defined: theMulticast SAL (MSAL) and the Bridge SAL (BSAL).These SAL´s are designated for Information framesonly and should not be used for Command frames.

For situations where a system will need to communicatewith another system, which has no SAL assigned, i.e., isnot attached to an ARINC 429 bus, a Bridge SAL will beused.

COMMENTARY

The Bridge SAL assumes that no compatibilityconflict will arise with other systems. The bridge willaccept all FDUs and afterwards selects how tohandle them based upon a predefined or, in somecases, learned bridging table.

For situations, where multiple systems will need to beaddressed at the same time, a Multicast SAL will be usedThis SAL can only be used for the transmission ofInformation frames. In this case, a system needs toexamine the MAC destination address contained in theFDU.

COMMENTARY

Similar to the Bridge SAL, the Multicast SALassures that no compatibility conflict will arise withother systems. Generally, it addresses all attachedsystems, local or remote (beyond the bridge). It is theresponsibility of each individual system to determinewhether or not to accept the FDU being received.

When a system receives any data containing its SAL thatis not sent through the established conventions of thisprotocol, the data received should be ignored.

ARINC SPECIFICATION 429 PART 3 - Page 22

3.0 BIT-ORIENTED MEDIA ACCESS CONTROL (MAC) PROTOCOL

3.4.4 Bit Rate and Word Timing

Data transfer should operate at the low or high-speed rate asdefined in Part 1 of ARINC Specification 429 depending onthe value of Option 2 (see Table 10-3b). The source shouldintroduce a gap between the end of each ARINC 429 wordtransmitted and the beginning of the next. The gap should beat least 4 bit times (minimum). The sink should be capable ofreceiving the FDU with the minimum word gap of 4 bit timesbetween words. The source should not exceed a maximumaverage of 40 bit times between data words of a FDU.

3.4.5 Word Type

The Word Type field occupies bit 31-29 in all bit-orientedFDU words. See Table 11-1A of Attachment 11 for adescription of the Word Type field. The Word Type field isused to identify the function of each ARINC 429 data wordused by the bit-oriented communication protocol. There aretwo new word types for the Version 3 protocol, word types010 and 011.

3.4.6 Start of Frame (SOF)

When a system wants to transmit either an InformationFrame Data Unit or a Command Frame Data Unit, thesystem should start by sending the Start of Frame (SOF)data word, immediately followed by the data words, whichcontain the contents of the MAC frame. The format of theSOF word differs between Information and CommandFDUs. See Attachment 11, Tables 11-8 and 11-10 for adescription of these two words.

In order to distinguish between Information and Commandframes, the SOF word contains an Information/CommandFrame field.

3.4.6.1 Information/Command (I/C) Frame Field

The Version 3 protocol provides for two different MACframe types in order to adapt to the requirements of differentapplications: an (Ethernet) bridgeable Information frameand a non-bridgeable Command frame. For a description ofthe Frame Data Units (FDUs) which contain these two typesof MAC frames, see Attachments 19 and 20.

To identify the different frame types, bits 20-19 of the SOFword (for both Information and Command FDU) carry thefollowing discriminator:

Bit 20 Bit 19 Definition0 0 Information frame0 1 Command frame1 0 Reserved1 1 Reserved

3.4.6.2 Information SOF word

The SOF word for the Information Frame Data Unitcontains a 10-bit word count, a 2-bit Information/Command(I/C) frame field (as described in Section 3.4.6.1) and an 8-bit Reserved field.

3.4.6.2.1 Word Count

The Word Count field (bits 18-9) of the Information SOFword reflects the number of ARINC 429 words to betransmitted in the Frame Data Unit. For the Information

frame, the maximum word count value is 1023 ARINC429 words. The minimum word count value is 10ARINC 429 words. An Information FDU with theminimum word count would contain one SOF word,seven data words, and two EOF words. An InformationFDU with the maximum word count value wouldcontain one SOF word, 1020 data words and two EOFwords.

3.4.6.2.2 Reserved Bits

Bits 28-21 of the SOF word for the Information FDUare reserved (not used). These bits should be set tobinary zeroes.

3.4.6.3 Command SOF word

The SOF word for the Command frame Data Unitcontains a 10-bit word count, a 2-bitInformation/Command (I/C) frame field (described inSection 3.4.6.1), a 2-bit Reserved field, a 2-bitCommand Type Field and a 4-bit General FormatIdentifier (GFI) field.

3.4.6.3.1 Word Count

The Word Count field (bits 18-9) of the Command SOFword reflects the number of ARINC 429 words to betransmitted in the Frame Data Unit. For the Commandframe, the maximum word count value is 1023 ARINC429 words. The minimum word count value is 3 ARINC429 words. A Command FDU with the minimum wordcount would contain one SOF word, one data word andone EOF word. A Command FDU with the maximumword count value would contain one SOF word, 1021data words and one EOF word.

3.4.6.3.2 Reserved Bits

Bits 22-21 of the SOF word for the Command FDU arereserved (not used). These bits should be set to binaryzeroes.

3.4.6.3.3 General Format Identifier Field (GFI)

For the Command Frame Data Unit (FDU), a GeneralFormat Identifier (GFI) occupies bits 28-25 of the SOFword. It’s function is similar to the General FormatIdentifier described in Section 2.5.10.1 of the Version 1bit-oriented protocol. This field is maintained in theCommand FDU for backward compatibility to thepoint-to-point (non-bridgeable) link layer protocol usedin Version 1. The GFI field is used in Version 3 as anindicator to the MAC Service Client of the format ofdata words to follow.

3.4.6.3.4 Command Type Field (CT)

For the Command Frame Data Unit (FDU), a CommandType (CT) field occupies bits 24-23 of the SOF word.The purpose of the CT field is to facilitate thedifferentiation of FDUs by functional context.

The following values have been assigned:

COMMENTARY

The contextual differentiation contained in the CT fieldmay be used to implement a flow control mechanism bywhich FDUs of one context type are blocked whileFDUs of other types are not. Such a mechanism mightbe used in a buffer-limited implementation to controlthe flow of FDUs containing application data whileallowing command or control FDUs to pass freely. Theprotocols and procedures to implement this mechanismare not part of this specification.

3.4.7 Data

The definition of the data words which contain the MACframe’s contents are identical for both Version 3(Information or Command) frame types, and are identicalwith the data words used in Version 1 of the bit-orientedprotocol. However, the first six data words of anInformation MAC frame data unit contains additional MACaddressing and length/type information.

Data words immediately follow the SOF word. The octets ofthe FDU are encoded and transmitted in 32-bit data words.There are two basic types of data words: full binary andpartial binary. Binary data words may contain one, two, three,four and five semi-octets. A semi-octet (or nibble) is half of anoctet, or four bits in length.

Binary data words of five semi-octets are called Full Datawords. Binary data words of fewer than five semi-octets arecalled Partial Binary Data words.

Each FDU, prior to transmission, should conclude (end) witha complete octet.

3.4.7.1 Full Data Word(s)

A Full Data Word has 20 bits available for data. This space isallocated in five semi-octets. The octets of the data file aredivided into two semi-octets and placed sequentially into thedata words. The least significant bit of the least significantsemi-octet is sent first.

If, in the process of placing the octets into the data words, anoctet is split between two different words, the least significantsemi-octet goes in the last (n5) semi-octet of the current datafield. The most significant semi-octet follows in the first (n1)semi-octet of the data field of the next word. See Tables 11-2and 11-3 of Attachment 11 for data word formats.

If the end of the FDU does not completely fill the last FullData Word, a Partial Data Word (see Section 3.4.7.2) shouldbe used to complete the FDU transmission.

In order to obtain maximum system efficiency, Partial DataWords should be used only when they are required tocomplete the data for a FDU transmission. A FDU should notbe encoded as a string of Partial Data Words where 8 or 16bits of data are encoded for each ARINC 429 word used.

3.4.7.2 Partial Data Word(s)

A Partial Data Word contains from one to four semi-octets. The number of semi-octets in a partial data word isindicated in bits 28-25 of the word. Only full four-bitsemi-octets can be sent; one, two or three bits are invalid.Partial Data Word semi-octets are sent in the same orderas the semi-octets in a full data word. The unused semi-octets in the partial data word should be set to binaryzeros.

3.4.7.3 SOLO Words

SOLO words, as defined in the Williamsburg Version 1protocol in Section 2.5.17, may be used in the Version 3protocol. However, they should be used only across non-bridgeable interfaces (i.e. in conjunction with Commandframes).

3.4.8 End of Frame (EOF)

Each FDU transfer is terminated by one or two End ofFrame (EOF) word(s), depending upon the nature of theFDU. The format and number of EOF word(s) differbetween Information and Command frames.

For an Information frame the EOF words contain a framecheck sequence which consists of a 32-bit CyclicRedundancy Check (CRC).

For a Command frame the EOF word is identical to aVersion 1 EOT word and contains a frame checksequence which consists of a 16-bit Cyclic RedundancyCheck (CRC).

The final FDU bit is always set for consistency withVersion 1.

See Attachment 11, Tables 11-9 and 11-11 for thedefinition of these words.

COMMENTARY

The ARINC 429 Physical layer is a twisted shieldedpair of wires which has been demonstrated to exhibithigh integrity and unlikely to introduce errors intothe data passing through it. Simple parametric data isusually transmitted at a refresh rate high enough topermit recognition and suppression of erroneousdata. Since the transfer of data using a file transferprotocol contains no provision for automatic refresh,some applications may require high data integrity tobe confirmed by an error checking mechanism. Forthis reason, each FDU contains a CRC check. Theuse of the CRC in this case does not imply anyinherent lack of integrity of the ARINC 429 link.

3.4.9 Frame Check Sequence

For a Command frame, the Frame Check Sequence fieldof the EOF word contains a 16-bit CRC as defined inSections 2.5.12.1 and 2.5.12.2 of the Version 1 bit-oriented protocol. For an Information frame, the FrameCheck Sequence field of the EOF words contains a 32-bit CRC, as defined in this section. Both CRCpolynomials are referenced in ISO 3309, and theprocedure for calculation of the 32-bit CRC is identical

3.4.9 Frame Check Sequence (cont’d)

to that of the 16-bit CRC. The only implementationdifferences are found in the length and format of the twogenerator polynomials and length of the CRCs.

The most significant bit (MSB) of the 32-bit CRC sequencefor Information frames is transmitted first.

3.4.9.1 32-Bit CRC Encoding

Determination and encoding of the CRC is as follows:

The k bits of information data in the frame are representedas the coefficients of a polynomial, G(x); where k is thenumber of data bits in the frame existing between, but notincluding, the SOF and EOF words. For example, if the datastream is 1010001,

k = 7 and G(X) = x6 + x4 + 1

The CRC calculation is performed over the data octets onlyof the frame with any semi-octets zero filled.

The generator polynomial for the 32-bit CRC is of the form,

P(x) = x32 + x26 + x23 + x22 + x16 + x12 +x11 + x10 + x8

+ x7 + x5 + x4 + x2 + x + 1

The CRC is then determined as the one’s complement of theremainder, R(x), obtained from the modulo 2 division of:

x32G(x) + xk (x31 + x30 + x29 + x28 +….+ x3 + x2 + x + 1)P(x)

R(x)= Q(x) +P(x)

Note: The addition of xk (x31 + x30 + x29 + x28 + ... + x3 + x2 +x + 1) to x32G(x) (which is equivalent to inverting the first32 bits of G(x) and appending a bit string of 32 zeroes to thelower order end of G(x)), corresponds to initializing theinitial remainder to a value of all “ones”. Thecomplementing of R(x), by the transmitter, at the completionof the division ensures that the received, error-free messagewill result in a unique, non-zero remainder at the receiver.

At the transmitter, the CRC is added to the x32G(x) product,resulting in the message, M(x), of length n where:

n = k + 32, and

M(x) = x32 G(x) + R(x)

= x32 G(x) + CRC

3.4.9.2 32-Bit CRC Decoding

Decoding of the CRC at the receiver is as follows:

At the receiver, the incoming M(x) is multiplied by x32,added to the product, xn (x31 + x30 + x29 + x28 + ... + x3 + x2 +x + 1) and divided by P(x) as follows:

x32M(x) + xn (x31 + x30 + x29 + x28 + .... + x3 + x2 + x + 1)P(x)

Rr(x)= Qr(x) +P(x)

If the transmission of the serial incoming bits plus CRC(i.e. M(x)) is error free, then the remainder, Rr(x) willbe:

1100 0111 0000 0100 1101 1101 0111 1011(coefficients of x31 through x0 , respectively).

COMMENTARY

The notation used to describe the CRC is based onthe property of cyclic codes that any code vector,such as 1000000100001, can be represented by apolynomial G(x) = x12 + x5 + 1. The elements of an nelement code word are thus the coefficients of apolynomial of order n - 1. In this application, thesecoefficients can have the value 0 or 1 and allpolynomial operations are performed modulo 2. Thepolynomial representing the information content of aframe is generated starting with the Frame bit whichis encoded in bit 9 of the first ARINC 429 data word(following the SOF word) as the coefficient of thefirst (highest order) term.

3.4.10 Incomplete FDU Timer

The Incomplete FDU (T17) timer is used to insure that asource device does not “lock-up” a sink with anincomplete frame.

The sink will start the T17 timer when it receives arespective SOF word.

In case of an Information frame the T17 timer is stoppedwhen both valid EOF words are received.

In case of a Command frame the T17 timer is stoppedwhen a single valid EOF word is received.

The T17 timer should also be stopped if the sink discardsthe partial frame for other reasons defined in thisspecification. When T17 is exceeded, the sink shoulddiscard any partial frame already received and ignore anydata until a proper SOF word is received.

3.4.11 ALOHA

The first ALOHA word transmitted in a sequenceshould contain the highest Version Number supportedby the source device. If the ALOHA Response containsa version that does not match the ALO version, thesource device should take one of the following actions:

a. If the source device is able to adapt to thedifferences in protocol version, file transfers mayproceed using the protocol version identified in theALR word.

c-17 c-17

Page 472: ARINC 429-16

ARINC SPECIFICATION 429 PART 3 - Page 25

3.0 BIT-ORIENTED MEDIA ACCESS CONTROL (MAC) PROTOCOL

b. If the source device is not able to adapt to thedifferences in protocol version, the source should againinitiate the ALOHA word with the version field set tothe highest version supported by the source that is lowerthan the version indicated in the previous ALR (seeexamples identified in Attachment 13A).

The ALO/ALR protocol determination process shouldcontinue until a common protocol version is found. If eithera protocol version is found or none of the protocol versionsmatch, the source should notify the local MAC ServiceClient with a MA_DATA.indication with itsreception_status set to notify a reset condition. Theparameter in the primitive only has local significance andprovides the MAC Service Client with status information.

When the system only supports bit-oriented protocols, itshould repeat the process described in this section.

When the system also supports character oriented protocols,then the process defined in Section 2.5.19.2 should befollowed. The protocol determination process will continueuntil a common protocol is found. See Attachment 17.

The ALOHA word should contain a Subsystem SAL field asshown in Attachment 11, Table 11-4. This field shouldcontain the SAL of the device sending the ALOHA word,with bit 17 as the most significant bit and bit 24 as the leastsignificant bit of the Subsystem SAL.

A device that supports the bit-oriented Link layer protocolshould always be able to respond to the receipt of the ALOword.

Whenever a device receives the ALO word, it should leaveits present task and respond within T15 with an ALR word.

The ALR response should reflect the device’s protocolversion level by the way of the Version Number containedwithin the ALR word. If the Version Number of the ALOdoes not match the sink device’s protocol Version Number,the sink device should select the next lowest versionsupported (equal to or lower than the version indicated bythe previous ALO word) and indicate this new version in theALR word.

If the device was in the sink mode (had already begunreceiving a FDU), it should discard any partial FDU it hadreceived.

If the device was in the source mode (had already beguntransmitting a FDU), it should resend the FDU beginningwith the first word of the FDU.

Because Option O12 is selected, the device receiving anALOHA word should use the Subsystem SAL from theALOHA word as the SAL of the ALOHA Response (ALR)word and for all subsequent bit-oriented protocoltransmissions for that interface.

3.4.12 Validation of FDUs

The receiving MAC sublayer should determine the validityof the incoming Start of Frame (SOF) word, the MACframe, and the End of Frame (EOF) words before passingthe MAC frame to its local Service Client. The SOF, MACframe, and EOF are collectively referred to as a Frame DataUnit (FDU). The following subsections list conditions for

which the FDU is said to be invalid in addition to theconditions already identified in sections 3.3.1.5 and3.3.2.4 for invalid frames. The contents of invalid MACframes should not be passed to the local MAC ServiceClient.

3.4.12.1 Missing SOF Word

The Information SOF word should be formatted asdepicted in Attachment 11, Table 11-10 and should bethe first word of the transmitted information FDU. TheCommand SOF word should be formatted as depicted inAttachment 11, Table 11-8 and should be the first wordof the transmitted command FDU. If the SOF word isnot received as the first word, the MAC frame isinvalid.

3.4.12.2 Missing EOF Word(s)

Two EOF words should follow the transmission of thefinal data words of an Information MAC frame. Theyshould be formatted as depicted in Attachment 11,Table 11-11. If either or both are missing, or are notformatted as depicted in Attachment 11, Table 11-11,then the MAC frame is invalid.

One EOF word should follow the transmission of thefinal data words of a Command MAC frame. It shouldbe formatted as depicted in Attachment 11, Table 11-9.If it is missing, or is not formatted as depicted inAttachment 11, Table 11-9, then the MAC frame isinvalid.

3.4.12.3 Parity Errors

Bit 32 of each ARINC 429 word should be set to oddparity for the entire word. Upon receipt of a word, thereceiving unit should verify that each word wasreceived with odd parity. If any word is received witheven parity, the receiving unit should take no action andignore the word.

COMMENTARY

When the receiving MAC sublayer receives a wordwith bad parity, it cannot be sure of the intendedlabel. The word may not even be a part of the FDU,so by ignoring the offending word, there may still bea chance of a successful FDU transfer. If theoffending word was intended to be a part of theFDU, then when the EOF word(s) are received, theactual word count will not match the expected wordcount (and the CRC will probably be invalid). If theword count is incorrect (or if the CRC is invalid),then the MAC frame is also invalid, as per Sections3.4.12.5 and 3.4.12.4 (or Sections 3.3.1.5.3 and3.3.2.5.1 for invalid CRC).

3.4.12.4 Word Count Errors

Upon receipt of the final EOF word of the FDU, thereceiving MAC sublayer should verify that the actualnumber of words received is the number of wordsexpected, as per bits 18-9 of the SOF word. If the wordcounts do not match, the MAC frame is invalid.

ARINC SPECIFICATION 429 PART 3 - Page 26

3.0 BIT-ORIENTED MEDIA ACCESS CONTROL (MAC) PROTOCOL

3.4.12.5 CRC Errors

Upon receipt of the final EOF word of the FDU, thereceiving MAC sublayer should verify the CRC of thereceived MAC frame. If the CRC is invalid, the MAC frameis also invalid and should be discarded.

The FDU should contain an integral number of octets inorder to pass the FCS.

3.4.13 Inter-FDU Gap Time

An inter-Frame Data Unit gap time, T18, of 10 ms minimumshould be implemented between any two successive MACframe transmissions in order to allow the receiving MACsublayer sufficient CRC verification time between frames.

Timer T18 is closely related to the generation of the CRCfield for the Information frame. If a CRC is not to begenerated (O15 = No), this timer is not necessary andimplementation is optional.

NOTES:

[1] The STANDARD VALUE (or STANDARD INTERFACE) should be used as the default value if a specific value isnot designated in the applicable equipment specification. For example, the standard interface for option 2 (429 busspeed) defaults to low speed for version 1 systems, unless high speed is specified in equipment specifications.Values shown as N/A indicate that option cannot be used.

[2] For those timers that are not associated with a repeat sequence, it is intended that a working system has minimizedactual response times. For example: A system should reply with CTS as soon as possible after reception of RTS. It isnot intended that a system take the maximum time T1 to reply to the RTS on a routine basis.

[3] T6 and T7 are used when Option 5 (O5) is not selected.

[4] Implementation of timer T10 is optional. If T10 is not used, T16 should be used.

[5] 03 and 04 should be Yes for expedited file transfer. See Section 2.5.7.3.

[6] The SOLO Word is not bridgeable to Ethernet and should only be used in conjunction with Command frame (non-bridgeable) interfaces.

[7] Options 13 and 14 are dependent on the applicable equipment interface specification. For a point to point onlyinterface, such as the CMU/VDR VDL Mode 2 Interface, Option 13 is set to ‘Command Frame’. For equipmentinterfaces that may need to be bridgeable to Ethernet, Option 13 is set to ‘Information frame.’ If the Pause Functionoption is selected as ‘Yes’, then the Pause function will be formatted into a Command FDU if Option 13 is set to‘Command Frame’, or into an Information FDU if Option 13 is set to ‘Information Frame’.

[8] Selection of Option 15 is dependent on the applicable equipment interface specification.

ATTACHMENT 11BIT-ORIENTED DATA FILE TRANSFER WORD FORMATS

NOTES

[1] All words are transmitted using odd parity (denoted by P in bit 32).

[2] The MSB/LSB determination of the “Data” field for Full and Partial Data words is as follows:

The ordering of octets (or ASCII characters) is from right to left, i.e.:

A) The first (most significant) octet is in bits 16-9 of the first Data word.

B) The second octet is in bits 24-17 of the first Data word ,etc.

The ordering of bits within each octet (or ASCII characters) is:

A) The LSB of the first octet is in bit 9 of the first Data word.

B) The MSB of the first octet is in bit 16 of the first Data word.

C) The LSB of the second octet is in bit 17 of the first Data word, etc.

EXAMPLE: The encoding of “PHX” (using 7-bit ASCII characters with all pad bits set to 0) using oneFull Data Word and one Partial Data Word is:

BIT 32 31 30 29 28 27 26 25 24 23 22 21 20 19 18 17 16 15 14 13 12 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1

“X” “H” “P”(Lower ½)

Word P 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 SAL

“X”(Upper ½)

Data Word 2 P 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 SAL

[3] Bits 24 through 31 of Partial Data Words are coded to avoid conflict with old RTS words, defined in Appendix F, which contains the ISO Alphabet control character "DC2" in bits 29 through 23.

[4] Destination Codes are contained in Attachment 11A.

[5] Word Count values of 0000 0000 through 0000 0010 are not used; i.e. values of Word Count may be 3 through 255(03 through FFh).

[6] Status Codes are contained in Attachment 11B.

[7] This is the System Address Label of the system which is sending out the ALO.

[8] Versions 0 and 1 are equivalent for the ALOHA (ALO) and ALOHA RESPONSE (ALR) Protocol Words.

[9] The MSB/LSB determination for all Link Layer CRC Computation is:

Bit 9 of the first Data word is the MSB (coefficient of the highest order term) of the polynomial representing the“message”. The LSB (coefficient of the lowest order term) of the polynomial representing the “message” is the mostsignificant bit of the last octet or character (which contains valid non-zero data) which will be found in the final dataword preceding the EOT Word.

[10] Bits 12 through 9 define the version number of the ARINC 429 bit-oriented protocol, as referenced in Table 11-4A.

NOTES:

[1] The Destination Code may be a 7-bit ISO Alphabet No. 5 code with no parity, or, alternatively, a binary value.Bit 24 should contain a zero.

[2] Origin/Destination Codes Q and R are used when the SDU transmits/receives onboard messages as an ACARSend system.

[3] These are non-printable control codes (reference ARINC 429 Part 1 Attachment 5).

[4] These codes are used for the specific satellite links indicated; character code "S" is used for any available non-specific satellite link.

[5] Origin/Destination Codes T and U are used when the HFDR transmits/receives onboard messages as an ACARSEnd System. The code H is distinguished from codes T and U in that the H is used to designate the HFDR asthe downlink medium for a message while the T and U are used to indicate that the message is to be consumedby the DFDR.

[6] Transponder (XPDR) was removed from the DESTINATION column.

The information contained in Sections F-2.1.5.2, F-2.1.5.3, F-2.3.1.4 and F-3.2 of this Appendix is no longer applicable toARINC Specification 429. The contents of Section F-2.3.1.5 provides guidance for character-oriented file transfer protocolsreflected in ARINC equipment characteristics. The information is contained herein for reference purposes.

COMMENTARY

Bit-oriented file transfer is the preferred protocol (See Section 2.5 of Part 3 of ARINC Specification 429) for use in newapplications. The guidance for character-oriented protocol was removed from the body of the specification to avoid thecontinuation of its use, but retained herein for those who need to understand the basis for character-oriented protocolalready implemented.

F-2.1.5 Sign/Status Matrix

F-2.1.5.2 AIM Data

The order function (first, intermediate, last or control) of AIM or maintenance data should be encoded in bit numbers 30 and31 of the word as shown in the table below. See Section F-2.3.1.4 of this document for definitions of the terms “InitialWord”, “Control Word”, “Intermediate Word” and “Final Word.”

Alternatively, the SSM field may be used to describe position in a series of data words (initial, intermediate, final) or wordcontent (control word). Sections F-2.3.1.5.2 through F-2.3.1.5.4 contain the definitions of the terms initial, intermediate andfinal words.

F-2.3.1 Digital Language

F-2.3.1.4 AIM Data

AIM data (Acknowledgement, ISO Alphabet No. 5 and Maintenance information encoded in dedicated words) should behandled in the manner described in this section.

All three of these applications may involve the transfer of more than 21 bits per “data package”. Source equipment shouldformat such long messages into groups of 32-bit DITS words, each word containing the relevant application label (seeARINC Specification 429, Part 1, Attachment 1) in bits 1 through 8, and a sign/status matrix code in bits 30 and 31.

c-18

Page 509: ARINC 429-16

ARINC SPECIFICATION 429 PART 3 - Page 62

APPENDIX FFORMER AIM AND FILE DATA TRANSFER TECHNIQUES

Bit 32 should be encoded to render word parity odd. The first word of each group should contain the sign/status matrix codedefined for “initial word” in F-2.1.5.1. It should also contain, in bits 9 through 16, the binary representation of the number ofwords in the group, except that when this word is the only word to be transmitted, the total number of information bits to betransmitted is 13 or less) bits 9 through 16 should all be binary “zeros”. See ARINC Specification 429, Part 1, Attachment 6for word format.

When the word application label is assigned in ARINC Specification 429, Part 1, Attachment 1 for Acknowledgement Data,bits 17 through 29 of this initial word may be used for information transfer. When the word application label is either ofthose assigned in ARINC Specification 429, Part 1, Attachment 1 Maintenance Data (ISO Alphabet No. 5), bits 17 through22 should be binary 'zeros” (spares). When the label is for ISO Alphabet No. 5 Messages, bits 17 through 22 are used forunit addressing. Bit usage is given in the table below.

For ISO Alphabet No. 5 Messages and Maintenance Data bits 23 through 29 should take on the pattern of the IOS AlphabetNo. 5 control character “STX”.

The second word of the ISO Alphabet No. 5 and Maintenance Data (ISO Alphabet No. 5) application groups is an optionalcontrol word containing sign/status matrix code for “control” information for display. When it is used, bits 9 through 13should contain the binary representation of the line count, bits 14 through 16 should encode the required color, bits 17 and 18the required intensity, bits 19 and 20 the required character size and bit 21 should indicate whether or not the display isrequired to flash. See ARINC Specification 429, Part 1, Attachment 6 for the encoding standards. Bits 22 through 29 of theword should be binary “zeros” (spares).

Intermediate words, containing the sign/matrix code for “intermediate word”, follow the initial word of the group or thecontrol word, when used. Intermediate words are optional in the sense that they are only transmitted if more words than theinitial word and the final word (see below) are needed to accommodate the quantity of information to be transferred. Whenthe word application group label that is assigned in ARINC Specification 429, Part 1, Attachment 1 for Acknowledgement isused. Data bits 9 through 29 of that word are available for information transfer. When the word application label is either ofthose assigned in ARINC Specification 429, Part 1, Attachment 1 for ISO Alphabet No. 5 data transfer or Maintenance Data(ISO Alphabet No. 5), bits 9 through 29 of each word should be divided into three seven-bit bytes (bits 9 through 15, 16through 22 and 23 through 29), each of which contains one ISO Alphabet No. 5 character.

Each AIM application group transmission other than single-word transmission (see below) should be terminated with a wordcontaining the sign/status matrix code for “final word” defined in F-2.1.5.1. The data field of this word should be structuredsimilarly to that of the intermediate word. Any unused bit positions in ISO Alphabet No. 5 data transfer or MaintenanceData (ISO Alphabet No. 5) final words resulting from the number of ISO Alphabet No. 5 characters in the message beingone or two less than a number wholly divisible by three should be filled with binary “zeros.”

APPENDIX FFORMER AIM AND FILE DATA TRANSFER TECHNIQUES

F-2.3.1.5 File Data Transfer

F-2.3.1.5.1 Command/Response Protocol

File data will consist of both ARINC 429 BNR numeric words and ISO Alphabet No. 5 characters. A file may contain from1 to 127 records. Each record may contain from 1 to 126 data words.

A record should contain, at the minimum, one of the eight versions of the “initial word” described in F-2.3.1.5.2. Records inwhich this initial word contains the “Data Follows” code should also contain from 1 to 126 “intermediate words” (data) and a“final word” (error control). The file data transfer protocol is as follows. A transmitter having the data to send to a receivertransmits, on the bus connecting it to that receiver, the “Request to Send” initial word. The receiver responds, on theseparate bus provided for return data flow, with the “Clear to Send” reply. The transmitter then sends the “Data Follows:initial word, the “intermediate words” and the “final word”. The receiver processes the error control information in the ‘finalword” and, if no errors are revealed, closes out the transaction by sending the “Data Received OK” word to the transmitter.

If the receiver is not ready to accept data when the transmitter sends its “Request to Send” word, it should so indicate itsresponse (See F-2.3.1.5.2). The transmitter should then wait 200 milliseconds and retransmit the “Request to Send”. Thetransmitter should also repeat a “Request to Send” transmission 50 milliseconds after the initial transmission if no response isobtained from the receiver. If 2 additional attempts also spaced at 50 milliseconds produce no response from the receiver,the transmitter should send the data. This feature is incorporated to enable file transfer (under a degraded mode of operation)in the event of a failure in the receiver-to-transmitter bus.

If the receiver detects a parity error during the transmission, it may request an error-correcting retransmission by sending a“Data Received Not OK” word to the transmitter in which is identified the record in which the error occurred. Thetransmitter should interrupt the data flow and back up to the start of the record so identified. It should then send a “DataFollows” initial word identifying this record as the starting point of the retransmission and recommence its output of data,continuing through the “final word”. The receiver should then close out the transaction as before.

An error detected by processing the error control information in the “final word” should also result in the receiver sending a“Data Received Not OK” word to the transmitter. In the absence of identification of the record in which the error occurred,this word should contain the sequence number of the first record of the file. The transmitter's response should be toretransmit the whole file.

The receiver can signal loss of synchronization to the transmitter at any time bysending the “Synchronization Lost” initialword. On receiving this word, the transmitter should curtail the data flow and back up to the beginning of the file. It shouldthen re-establish that the receiver can accept data by going through the request-to-send routine. Having done this it shouldsend the “Data Follows” initial word, followed by the data and the “final word”.

The protocol also allows a transmitter to send the file size information to a receiver without any commitment to send, orrequest to the receiver to accept, the file itself. The “Header Information” initial word is used for this purpose. Additionally,a “Poll” initial word is defined for use in the system which continuous “hand-shaking” between two terminals is desired. The response to a “Poll” word will be either a “Request” to Send” initial word when the polled terminal does have data totransmit, or another “Poll” word when it does not. An exchange of “Poll” words may be interpreted as the message, “I havenothing for you, do you have anything for me?”

F-2.3.1.5.2 Initial Word Types

The eight initial types are as follows:

Request to SendClear to SendData FollowsData Received OKData Received Not OKSynchronization LoseHeader InformationPoll

Bits 1 through 8 of all of those words except the “Poll” word contain the label code identifying the file to be transferred usingthe protocol. Bits 1 through 8 of the “Poll” word contains binary zeros. Bits 9 through 29 are divided into three seven-bitfields, the contents of which vary with word type as shown in Table A below. Bits 30 and 31 contain the code identifyingthem as initial words while bit 32 is encoded to render word parity odd.

ARINC SPECIFICATION 429 PART 3 - Page 64

APPENDIX FFORMER AIM AND FILE DATA TRANSFER TECHNIQUES

NOTES

1. The amount of data the receiver can accept upon receipt of a “Request to Send” signal is determined by the rate at whichdata delivery can take place and the amount of time the receiver has available before it must turn its attention to someother function. The receiver will set the count code in bits 9-15 of the “Clear to Send” word to indicate the number ofmaximum length records it can accept when it determines that the “Request to Send signal originates in a high speeddata source. It will set this code to indicate the number of 32-bit words it can accept when it determines that the“Request to Send” originates in a low speed data source, e.g., the ACARS ground-to-air link. The receiver willannunciate the contents of this field (record count or word count) by setting Bit 22 as indicated. It will determine thehigh or low speed nature of the source by port identification of the source of the “Request to Send” signal, the “Requestto Send” word label, the SDI code or some combination of these information items.

2. The record sequence number is the number of that record in a multiple-record file being transmitted.

F-2.3.1.5.3 Intermediate Words

Intermediate words contain the data being transmitted by means of the protocol. Bits 1 through 8 contain the file label. Bits9 through 29 can accommodate three ISO Alphabet No. 5 characters or one ARINC 429 BNR numeric word without itslabel. Note that this alpha/numeric data interleaving capability without labels necessitates a prior agreement betweentransmitter and receiver on data format. Bits 30 and 31 contain the word code or the sign information (only) encoded in thesign/status matrix of BNR numeric data words. Bit 32 is encoded to render the word parity odd.

F-2.3.1.5.4 Final Words

The final word of each record contains error control information. Bits 1 through 8 contain the file label. Bits 9 through 29contain an error control checksum computed from the states of bits 9 through 29 of all intermediate words of the record. Theerror control checksum should be generated by the arithmetic addition of the binary values of bits 9 through 29 of allintermediate words and discarding the overflow. Bits 30 and 31 of this word contain the code identifying it as a final word. Bit 32 is encoded to render the word parity odd.

F-2.3.1.5.5 Word Type Encoding

Bits 30 and 31 of each word used in data file transfer should be encoded to indicate word type as follows:

BIT31 30 WORD TYPE0

0

1

1

0

1

0

1

Intermediate Word requiring no sign data orhaving Plus, North, East, Above Right, or Tosign

Initial Word (all types)

Final Word

Intermediate Word having Minus, South,West, Below, Left, or From sign

F-2.3.1.5.6 File Data Formats

As noted in F-2.3.1.5.3, the transmission of file data words without labels necessitates the use of pre-arranged data formats. The need to standardize such formats was examined by the working group. The conclusion was reached that a standardformat was desirable for flight management computer flight plan updating and for computer cross-talk, but was not necessaryfor updating the computer's data base. Manufacturers are invited to submit proposals for a standard flight plan update fileand cross-talk bus formats.

F-2.3.1.5.7 File Data Labels Labels define the application of the file data to be transferred. Such application include FMC program load/update, flightplan load/update, the FMC inter-system cross-talk, etc. There may be a need to assign more than one label to some of thoseapplications if priority override capability is desired.

F-3.2 AIM Information Transfer

F-2.3.1.4 describes the techniques to be used for the transfer of Acknowledgement, ISO Alphabet No. 5 and Maintenance(ISO Alphabet No. 5) data by means of the Mark 33 DITS. The motivation for the adoption of this technique was labelconservation. Without it, a separate label would have to be assigned to each AIM word application for each source of suchdata. In it, labels are assigned by word application only, and (where necessary) utilization device input port recognitionutilized to identify sources. A special exception to this rule is made for the Airborne Integrated Data System (AIDS), asdescribed in F-2.3.1.4. The technique also accommodates the use of multiple-word DITS messages, as described in SectionF-2.3.1.4.

F-3.2.1 Acknowledgement Data

Source equipments responding to requests for acknowledgement of incoming data delivered via a DITS input port should doso in the manner described in F-2.3.1.4. No applications for this system capability have yet been identified and thus no datastandards for acknowledgement messages have been established.

F-3.2.2 ISO Alphabet No. 5 Data

Source equipment transmitting ISO Alphabet No. 5 information by means of the Mark 33 DITS should do so in the mannerdescribed in F-2.3.1.4. This application, and the use of ISO data for maintenance-related information transfer, will be themost likely to make use of the multiple-word message transmission capability of the system. Receiving equipment shouldmake use of the binary word count and the sign/status matrix codes of the words to ensure that such messages are received intheir entirety, with no words having been “lost along the way.” Only when this determination has been made, and the paritycheck for each word shows the data to be error-free, should the message be displayed to the crew or otherwise utilized.

F-3.2.3 Maintenance Data

Source equipment putting out data intended for a maintenance assist system on the aircraft should do so in the mannerdescribed in F-2.3.1.4. The Maintenance assist system should use input port recognition to identify data sources. TheMaintenance word as described by AIM data handling techniques is limited to IOS Alphabet No. 5 messages.

APPENDIX GMATHEMATICAL EXAMPLE OF CRC ENCODING/DECODING

NOTE: The following example describes the polynomial division procedure for CRC encoding and decoding. Arithmeticoperations are modulo 2. Actual software/hardware implementations are expected to vary significantly from this example,since these polynomial divisions are more efficiently simulated by logical operations.

For CRC computations, the MSB is the bit which represents the coefficient of the highest order term of the polynomial. Itis not related to the MSB or LSB of each individual octet. Slashes (/) are used to separate octets for readability only, anddo not denote division in this example.

The following (arbitrary) 24-bit message is to be transmitted with a CRC encoded:

10100111 / 10000111 / 10101100

(MSB) (LSB)

The mathematical procedure is as follows: For this message, k = 24, and

G(x) = x23 + x21 + x18 + x17 + x16 + x15 + x10 + x9 + x8 + x7 + x5 + x3 + x2.

x16G(x) = x16(x23 + x21 + x18 + x17 + ... + x7 + x5 + x3 + x2).

= x39 + x37 + x34 + x33 + ... + x23 + x21 + x19 + x18.

and

xk(x15 + x14 + x13 + x12 + x11 + ... + x3 + x2 + x + 1)

= x39 + x38 + x37 + x36 + ... + x27 + x26 + x25 + x24.

At The Transmitter: Using coefficients of the above polynomials, the dividend is calculated as follows:

x16G(x) = 1010 0111 1000 0111 1010 1100 0000 0000 0000 0000

At The Receiver:

The dividend to be operated on by P(x) is determined (mathematically) as follows:

x16M(x) + x40(x15 + x14 + x13 + x12 + ... + x2 + x + 1)

= 1010 0111 1000 0111 1010 1100 1111 1101 0000 0110 0000 0000 0000 0000+ 1111 1111 1111 1111 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000= 0101 1000 0111 1000 1010 1100 1111 1101 0000 0110 0000 0000 0000 0000

The above string is the dividend used by the receiver.

(The divisor, 10001000000100001, is the same as that used by the transmitter.)

(The quotient, Q(x), generated by the division process, is not used.)

Q(x) = 101 1101 1010 1001 1101 1001 . . . .

0101 1000 0111 1000 1010 1100 1111 1101 0000 0110 0000 0000 0000 0000100 0100 0000 1000 01

APPENDIX GMATHEMATICAL EXAMPLE OF CRC ENCODING/DECODING

LDU Mapping for 24-bit Example

Because of the transmission order of ARINC 429 32-bit words, the first bit of the first Data Word transmitted after the SAL is theMSB of the message (for CRC computations). Therefore, the actual transmission order of the bit string, M(x), is the reverse ofthe previous example, when mapped into 32-bit words.

The following represents the mapping of the preceding 24-bit message and CRC into an LDU for transmission:

MSB (message) LSB MSB (CRC) LSB

M(x) = 1010 0111 1000 0111 1010 1100 1111 1101 0000 0110

SOT Word P 110 GFI File No. LDU No. SAL

Full Data Word P 000 0101 1110 0001 1110 0101 SAL

Partial Data Word P 001 1000 0000 0000 0000 0011 SAL

EOT Word P 111 0001 0110 0000 1011 1111 SAL

Legend:

The CRC is calculated over these bits.

These are the CRC bits

ARINC SPECIFICATION 429 PART 3 - Page 71

APPENDIX HINTEROPERABILITY OF BIT-ORIENTED LINK LAYER PROTOCOL

H.1 Version Number Designators

The version number of a system is transmitted to the peer system in the ALO and ALR words.

• Version 1 systems are defined to be (Williamsburg) bit-oriented communication protocol systems, as defined inSection 2.0 this Specification.

• Version 2 systems are obsolete and have been deleted from ARINC Specification 429 - Part 3.

• Version 3 systems are defined to provide a standard MAC-based sublayer of the bit-oriented communications-protocol, and are defined in Section 3.0 of ARINC 429 - Part 3.

H.2 Interoperability - Same Version Number

Beginning with Supplement 13 of 429, any version 1 system should interoperate with any other version 1 system (i.e.,the version number should be independent of supplement number implementation.) For example, a version 1 429-13system should interoperate with a version 1 429-14 system.

Similarly, any version 3 system should interoperate with any other version 3 system (independent of supplementnumber).

In general, higher supplement numbers of the same version number clarify requirements.

H.3 Interoperability - Different Version Numbers

Version 1 and Version 3 can coexist on the same physical bus.

H.4 Bit-Oriented Link Layer GFIs for Standard Network Service

When a system implements a standard (e.g. ISO) network service, which resides directly above the 429 Version 1(Williamsburg), then the ISO GFI bit-coding of "4h" (for ISO 9577) as specified in ARINC 429-14 should be used.

ISO GFI bit-codings originally specified in ARINC 429-13 were "1h" for ISO 8208 and "4h" for ISO 8473. These GFIbit-codings are not compatible with the new GFI "4h" designator and should not be used as standard network serviceidentifiers.

ARINC SPECIFICATION 429 PART 3 - Page 91

APPENDIX JPROTOCOL STRUCTURE

Physical Layer - The physical layer is a high speed ARINC 429 data bus.

Link Layer – It is responsible for the exchange of data between points (nodes) connected to one network. One networkcan be constructed either by a bus (A429, A629) or by a set of buses and point-to-point links that can be interconnectedby bridges (A646).

MAC Sublayer – The scope of this document is the “lower” part of the Link Layer. The ARINC 429 (Williamsburg)Version 3 protocol specifies the functionality of the MAC Service Provider that provides two types of MAC Frames, abridgeable Information frame based upon the frame structure specified in IEEE 802.3 (Ethernet) and a non-bridgeableCommand frame for point-to-point transfers of data of any kind, e.g. link management information.

LLC Sublayer – One potential MAC Service Client is the Logical Link Control Sublayer, which may be used to providea logical interface between LLC entities. All IEEE 802 specifications share the notion of this “upper” portion of the LinkLayer, which enables it to provide a common set of services. It may be used to provide a logical interface between peerentities. Three classes of service have been defined which can be connectionless-unacknowledged, connectionless-acknowledged or connection-oriented.

Network Layer – Other potential MAC Service Clients are either Internet (summarized by TCP/IP), specific (e.g. VDLMode 2) or further standardized or non-standardized protocols. The Network layer provides a home for specifications ofprotocols that support the communication across network boundaries. In the example shown, these are, e.g., IP or CLNP.

Subnetwork Sublayer – In the scope of this document this sublayer is defined as an X.25 subset (profile). It may berequired to provide services to the Network Layer, and interfaces with the LLC Sublayer. In the ISO network definition,these are the Subnetwork Access Protocols (SNAP) and provide services to the Subnetwork Independent ConvergenceProtocol (SNICP) and the Subnetwork Dependent Convergence Protocol (SNDCP). These services include flow control,error recovery and segmentation/reassembly.

It should be noted, however, that there is another (totally separate) SNAP definition by IEEE that resides on top of LLCClass 1 (connectionless-unacknowledged service) and acts as a Link layer client multiplexer similar to the 802.3 TYPEinterpretation.

Transport Layer – This layer provides services for the exchange of information between communication applications,such as the Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) in the Internet suite of protocols which in this example is used by theData Loader application or Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) for network management.

Typical ApplicationsThis section focuses on the scope of this document, the various characteristics of the ARINC 429 Version 3specification.

A429 Information Frame – As specified in section 3.3.1 this frame provides for a bridgeable frame format that is used byvarious applications. In this example, Data Loader (via TCP/IP stack) or ATN 1 (via OSI stack) could take advantage ofthis format.

A429 Command Frame – As specified in section 3.3.2 this frame provides for a non-bridgeable point-to-point frameformat that may be used by the CMU/VDR VDL Mode 2 Interface.

ÍEEE 802.3 – IEEE used to assume that LLC resides above any of the 802.n (with n bigger than 2) specifications. IEEE802.3 has always been in “competition” with the Ethernet specification, developed by Xerox, Digital and Intel. However,Xerox has shifted authority about the Ethernet specification to IEEE, which incorporated it into the current (1998)edition of the 802.3 specification. The main difference between the two specifications was the interpretation of a fieldthat is now called “LENGTH/TYPE”.

802.3-LENGTH – The “LENGTH” interpretation assumes that LLC is the MAC Service Client. If the value in this fieldis less than or equal to 1500 decimal, a “LENGTH” interpretation is specified.

c-17

Page 539: ARINC 429-16

ARINC SPECIFICATION 429 PART 3 - Page 92

APPENDIX JPROTOCOL STRUCTURE

802.3-TYPE – The “TYPE” interpretation assumes that a different protocol is the MAC Service Client. If the value inthis field is bigger than or equal to 1536 decimal, the value specifies the respective protocol. Assignments aredocumented in an Internet Request for Comment (RFC).

MAC Control – This functionality has been introduced recently and currently provides for a PAUSE function only. Itenables temporary suppression of any data transmission when sent to the peer MAC entity (reverse MAC Controlcommands can still be returned, though). Both types of frames, Information and Command, support this function indifferent ways.

Network Management – Each layer of the communication stack is required to maintain a Management Information Base(MIB) which consists of parameters and behavioral characteristics of that layer and may be retrieved by the NetworkManagement entity. The contents of the respective MIB are specified in the related protocol layer specification whereasthe MIB structure as well as the Network Management Protocol and functionality is specified in a separate specification.

SUPPLEMENT 12

TO

ARINC SPECIFICATION 429

MARK 33 DIGITAL INFORMATION TRANSFER SYSTEM (DITS)

Published: July 1, 1990

Prepared by the Airlines Electronic Engineering Committee

Adopted by the Airlines Electronic Engineering Committee: October 25, 1989

NOTE: Due to the large number of changesCreated by this Supplement, it is NOTavailable separately to update 429-11.

SUPPLEMENT 12 TO ARINC SPECIFICATION 429 PART 3 – Page 2

A. PURPOSE OF THIS SUPPLEMENT

This Supplement introduces the Williamsburg bit-orientedfile data transfer protocol which supports the transfer ofbinary and character data. The previous AIM andcharacter-oriented file data transfer protocol sections aremoved to Appendix 6. The Sign Status Matrix (SSM)information is revised and reorganized. In addition, thisSupplement introduces new label assignments andequipment identification codes.

B. ORGANIZATION OF THIS SUPPLEMENT

The first part of this document, printed on goldenrodpaper contains descriptions of changes introduced intothis Specification by this Supplement and whereappropriate extracts from the original text for comparisonpurposes. The second part consists of replacement whitepages for the Specification, modified to reflect thesechanges. The modified and added material on eachreplacement page is identified with “c-12” symbols in themargins. Existing copies of ARINC Specification 429may be updated by simply inserting the replacementwhite pages they replace. The goldenrod pages areinserted inside the rear cover of the Specification.

Copies of the Specification bearing the number 429-12already contain this Supplement and thus do not requirerevision by the reader.

C. CHANGES TO ARINC SPECIFICATION 429INTRODUCED BY THIS SUPPLEMENT

This section presents a complete tabulation of the changesand additions to the Specification introduced by thisSupplement. Each change or addition is entitled by thesection number and the title currently employed in theSpecification or by the section name and title that will beemployed when the Supplement is eventuallyincorporated. In each case there is included a briefdescription of the addition or change and, for other thanvery minor revision, any text originally contained in theSpecification is reproduced for reference.

2.1.3 Information Identifier

This section contains editorial corrections to comply withchanges introduced in Supplement 11.

2.1.5 Sign/Status Matrix

This section was revised and reorganized. The changesinclude moving the AIM and file transfer SSM definitionsto Appendix 6, adding failure reporting to the discreteword truth table (Section 2.1.5.3) and moving thedescription of status priorities to Section 2.1.5.

2.3.1 Digital Language

The contents of Sections 2.3.1.4 through 2.3.1.5.7 weremoved to Appendix 6. The AIM Data and File Datatransfer section headings were retained for referencepurposes. Section 2.3.1.5, File Data Transfer, provides thereason for moving the original file transfer protocol andintroduces the Williamsburg protocol.

2.5 Bit-Oriented Communications Protocol

This new section was added to describe a bit-oriented datatransfer protocol. The new protocol was developed toaccommodate the interface of the ACARS ManagementUnit (MU) and the Satellite Data Unit (SDU).

3.2 AIM Information Transfer

The information previously contained in this section is nolonger applicable to ARINC Specification 429. Forreference purposes, the section header is retained and theoriginal contents of this section are located in Appendix6.

SUPPLEMENT 14 TO ARINC SPECIFICATION 429 – Page 2

A. PURPOSE OF THIS SUPPLEMENT

This Supplement introduces changes made to increase theefficiency of data transfer across an ARINC 429 highspeed bit-oriented link. This protocol supports thetransfer of binary and character data.

B. ORGANIZATION OF THIS SUPPLEMENT

The first part of this document, printed on goldenrodpaper, contains descriptions of changes introduced intothis Specification by this Supplement. The second partconsists of replacement white pages for the Specification,modified to reflect the changes. The modified and addedmaterial on each page is identified by a c-14 in themargins. Existing copies of ARINC 429 may be updatedby simply inserting the replacement white pages wherenecessary and destroying the pages they replace. Thegoldenrod pages are inserted inside the rear cover of theSpecification.

C. CHANGES TO ARINC SPECIFICATION 429INTRODUCED BY THIS SUPPLEMENT

This section presents a complete tabulation of the changesand additions to the Specification introduced by thisSupplement. Each change and addition is defined by thesection number and the title currently employed in theSpecification or by the section name and title that will beemployed when the Supplement is eventuallyincorporated. In each case a brief description of thechange or addition is included.

2.3.1.5 File Data Transfer

An editorial change was needed to reference new section.

2.3.1.5.1 Bit-Oriented Protocol Determination

This section was expanded to include determination ofdifferent version numbers of the bit-oriented protocol, andwas moved to Section 2.5.19.

2.5 Bit-Oriented Communication Protocol

An editorial change references a new section number.

2.5.4 Bit Rate and Word Timing

A maximum word gap of 64 bit-times, (averaged over theLDU transmission) was added to eliminate excessivedelay in source transmission time.

Note: Sections 2.5.5 through 2.7 have been renumberedand reordered for consistency.

2.5.5 Word type

The basic definition of “word type” was corrected toinclude bits 31-29 in all bit-oriented words of an LDU.

2.5.6 Protocol Words

This section was added to specifically define the wordtype for protocol words.

2.5.6.1 Protocol Identifier

This section was added to clarify the definition of bits 28-25 for protocol words and to specify the relevant additionfor error conditions.

2.5.6.2 Destination Code

This section was updated, and a commentary added, toclarify the role of the link layer protocol for upwardcompatibility with changing network functionality. Therequirement for Destination code validation is not a linklayer function.

2.5.6.3 Word Count

This section was renumbered.

2.5.7 Request to Send (RTS)

This section was previously titled “Response to TS”, andhas been renumbered. The title was changed forconsistency, and an introductory paragraph added toclarify the basic RTS function.

2.5.7.1 Clear to Send (CTS)

This section was renumbered.

2.5.7.2 Not Clear to Send (NCTS)

This section was renumbered.

2.5.7.3 Destination Busy

This section was renumbered, and an introductoryreplacement paragraph inserted to clarify the “optional”BUSY response, which may be used when a systemcannot accept a transmission by the source in a “timelymanner”. New commentary equates a “timely manner” tothe shorter retry sequence of the NCTS series.

2.5.7.4 No Response to RTS

This section was renumbered, and the ALOHA word wasincluded in the logic for error determination.

2.5.10 Start of Transmission (SOT)

Timer T13 was added as a requirement on the source tobegin transmission of an LDU within a specified intervalafter receipt of the CTS word from the sink.

2.5.10.1 General Format Identifier (GFI)

This section was updated, and commentary added toclarify the role of the GFI in pre-OSI as well as OSIenvironments. Validation of the GFI code is required bya high level entity (network layer) in both environmentsto determine the format of the data words to follow. GFIvalidation is not necessarily a link layer function.

AEEC STAFF NOTE: THESE CHANGESAPPLY TO ARINC 429, PART 3 ONLY.

Page 549: ARINC 429-16

SUPPLEMENT 14 TO ARINC SPECIFICATION 429 – Page 3

2.5.11 Data

All references to Character Data word formats weredeleted.

2.5.11.3 Character Data Words

This section was deleted. The Character Data Wordformat was removed from Supplement 14, as the format isincompatible with those for Full and Partial Data wordformats. Currently, both binary and character data aretransmitted in octets defined by the other two data wordformats. The special character data format is notrequired.

2.5.12.1 CRC Encoding

References to character data words were deleted. Thetext for equation: M9x) = x16G(x) + R(x) was correctedby moving the “bar” from G(x) to R(x).

2.5.13 Negative Acknowledgement (NAK)

NAK word interpretation was changed to removeconstraint on source for specific order of file sequencing(i.e. Allows source to restart file with new FSN ifnecessary).

2.5.14.1 Duplicate LDU

This first paragraph was rewritten to clarify.

2.5.14.3 Incomplete File Timer

This section was added to allow the sink to discard apartial file of multiple LDUs when the T14 timeoutbetween LDU transmissions is exceeded. It ensures that asource device cannot “lock-up” a sink.

2.5.15 SYN Word

The LDU sequence anomalies which generate a SYNresponse by the sink were clarified.

2.5.16 Response to ACK/NAK/SYN

The T16 timer was introduced to replace T10 and T8. Also,the action taken by the source upon receipt of a SYNword was updated, which relaxes requirements tomaintain a specific File Sequence ordering by the source.

2.5.19 Protocol Initialization

2.5.19.1 Bit-Oriented Protocol Version,

2.5.19.2 ALOHA Response, and

2.5.19.3 Character-429 Determination

This section has been added to replace and expand on thedefinition of the process to determine the link layerprotocol version supported by an interfacing system.These sections replace three sections from Supplement13.

2.3.1.5.1 Bit-Oriented Protocol Determination

2.5.19 ALO Response, and

2.5.20 Bit Protocol Verification

2.6 Windowed Bit-Oriented Protocol

This is a completely new section which contains thesystem description of the new LLC2-like bit-oriented linklayer protocol for 429. It is based on Section 2.5, “Bit-Oriented Communications Protocol”, with expanded textas specified to allow for more efficient use of the 429high (or low) speed data bus through “windowing”. Thedefinition includes provision for a Link Control Wordprior to each LDU.

ATTACHMENT 1 – EQUIPMENT CODES

New Equipment Code Identifiers were added.

ATTACHEMENT 6 – WORD FORMATS ANDENCODING EXAMPLES

Example added for label 171.

ATTACHMENT 10 – VARIABLES OF BITORIENTED PROTOCOL

Table 10-1 was updated to include a standard value forN7, the maximum number of LDUs in a window (seeSection 2.6 “Windowed Bit-Oriented Protocol”).

Table 10-3 deleted Option 6 (O6) for NAK Send Time,and deleted Option 9 (O9) for the Character Data Word,both of which are no longer used.

Table 10-4 was revised to include columns for low speedmaximum and minimum values. These values wereestablished for timers and as response time design goalsfor incoming transmissions. Timers T13 through T16 wereadded.

Table 10-5 was added to include a definition of highspeed maximum and minimum values for timers andresponse time design goals. The format is the same as therevised Table 10-4. Timer T10 is not used in the highspeed protocol.

Table 10-6 was added to include notes to Tables 10-1through 10-5.

ATTACHMENT 11 – BIT-ORIENTED DATA FILETRANSFER WORD FORMATS

Table 11-1A added “spares” for the deleted CharacterData Formats and corrected “Protocol Data Word” to read“Protocol Word”.

Table 11-4 updated definitions for bits 9 through 24 of theALO and ALR words, and added the LCW (LDU ControlWord) format definition.

Table 11-4A was added as a partial replacement forATTACHMENT 11C and Table 11-4B was added todefine the new window definitions for the Windowed Bit-Oriented protocol in Section 2.6.

Table 11-6A was revised, changing the former GFI bitpattern (0001) for ISO 8208 to “unassigned”. The bitpattern (0100) for ISO 8473 was changed to a more
