The common display system uses six identical, flat panel, liquid crystal display CAUTION : MOVEMENT OF THE CONTROL COLUMN MAY CAUSE FLIGHT
(LCD) units. The display units (DUs) show this type of information: SURFACE MOVEMENT.

- Primary flight information, NOTE : Remove the plastic covers from the connectors before you install a DU.
- Navigation information,
- Engine information.

Physical Description.
The DUs are rack mounted. The DUs are 8 inches (20.3 cm) by 8 inches and
are 9.75 inches (24.8 cm) deep. Each DU weighs approximately 18 pounds
(8.2 kg).

There is a bezel light sensor (BLS) at the bottom edge of the face plate.

Internal Temperature Detectors.

Each DU has internal temperature detectors. If the internal temperature gets
too hot, the power supply shuts down the display unit. When the DU cools,
the display unit comes on again.

The left outboard, left inboard, and upper center display units use blow-
through cooling. The right outboard, right inboard, and lower center display
unit use draw-through cooling.

Training Information Point.

The six DUs are interchangeable. Because of the viewing angle limitations of
LCD technology, the installation of the lower DU is turned 180 degrees from
the other DUs. The lower center DU handle is at the top.

When you remove or install the inboard or outboard DUs, you must move the
control column.

7. DU - FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

Display Unit. LCD Interface.

The display unit (DU) is a flat panel liquid crystal display (LCD) unit.
The LCD makes a high resolution color image of the flight data.
DU Rear Connector.
All electrical interfaces go through the DU rear connector. The graphic
generators in the DEU send display data to the DUs. The DUs send
temperature, light intensity levels, and BITE data to the DEUs.
The LCD interface changes image data to digital voltages.
Voltage Reference.
The voltage reference changes the digital voltage values from the LCD
interface to analog voltage reference (VREF) voltages. The VREF voltage is a
voltage that the LCD drivers use to control the image element on the LCD for
different intensities.

The rear connector also has HIRF protection. LCD Drivers.

The LCD drivers control the 1152 X 1152 color dots that make up the display.

Power Supply. Lamp Assembly.

The power supply supplies all the DU internal voltages except for the LCD and
heater voltages. The power supply converts +28v dc into +5v, +/-15v, +30v,
and +375v.
input/Output Controller.
The input/output controller (IOC) controls all digital data into and out of the
DU. This includes the graphics image data from the DEU, the discrete data
input for display unit identification, and the ARINC 429 bus output.
The IOC also does the BITE functions for the DU.
The lamp assembly has a back surface to reflect the fluorescent lamp to
increase the light output. It also has the temperature sensors. When the lamp
and LCD temperature are out of range, the backlight driver assembly adjusts
the temperature.
Bezel Light Sensor.
The bezel light sensor (BLS) senses incident light. The interconnect board
changes the BLS signal to a digital value. This value goes on the ARINC 429
buses back to the DEU for light intensity control.

The beamformer decompresses the graphics image data from the DEU to
graphics image data for the LCD interface.

- One power supply. ARINC 429 I/Os.

When a card fails, there are maintenance messages that show.
IOC and ARINC 429 I/0.
There are two IOC and ARINC 429 I/Os. Each IOC and ARINC 429 I/0 has
two functions. The ARINC 429 input/output function has 39 receivers and 12
transmitters for the ARINC 429 buses. The IOC function formats all the input
data to transmit on the backplane bus to the processor.
Discrete I/0.
There are two discrete I/Os. Each discrete I/O supplies an interface for 108
discrete inputs and 24 discrete outputs. These inputs are digitized and sent on
the I/O bus to the IOC function. The IOC function sends data back on the I/O
bus for the discrete I/O to send outputs.
The processor sends data to the graphics generator over the core processor
(CP) bus.
Graphic Generator.
There are two identical graphic generators. The GGs receive data from
the processor over the CP bus. The GG uses the data from the processor
to generate all the vector art. The GG also has the ARINC 453 receivers to
receive weather radar data. The vector art data and weather radar data are
compressed and sent out on a coax cable to the display units.
Power Supply.
The power supply supplies all the cards with power. It converts the 28v dc to
the voltages required.

Analog I/0. Maintenance Messages.

There is one analog I/0. The analog 1/0 supplies an interface for 21 analog Failures in the cards cause some maintenance messages to show on the
inputs and 4 analog outputs. The inputs are digitized and sent on the I/O bus display units. These are the maintenance messages :

CDS Messages.
These are the CDS messages that can show :
- DSPLY SOURCE,
- CDS MAINT,
- CDS FAULT.
DSPLY SOURCE.
The message DSPLY SOURCE shows when all the display units get data from
one DEU. This occurs when the display source selector is in the ALL ON 1 or
the ALL ON 2 position.
When the airplane is in the air, this message also shows when a DEU failure
causes all the DUs to get data from one DEU. On the ground with the engines
off, the message CDS FAULT replaces the DSPLY SOURCE message.
This message shows on the captain and the first officer PFD.
The message CDS FAULT shows when there is a total DEU failure. A total DEU
failure is when any one of these circuit card assemblies (CCA) fails :
- Input/output controller and ARINC 429 input/output,
- Power supply,
- Processor.
This message shows on the captain and the first officer PFD.
The message CDS FAULT shows if two or more of these CCAs fail in a DEU or
one fails in each DEU :
- Graphic generator,
- Discrete input/output,
- Analog input/output.
For example, if the graphics generator CCA fails in DEU 1 and the analog
input/output CCA fails in DEU 2, the message CDS FAULT shows.

Compatibility Checks.
The DEU determines if these are not compatible :

Operational Program Configuration (OPC). - OPS and DEU hardware,

The OPCs replace most of the hardware program pins used in other airplanes. - Program pins in DEU 1 and DEU 2,
The OPCs define the customers configuration options. - OPS to airplane type,
- OPS to OPC,
It takes approximately 5 minutes to load the OPC into each DEU. - DEU 1 to DEU 2 software.

Display Unit Data Base (DUDB).
There are several different types of display units for the common display
system. The DUs are interchangeable. The DEU requires information about the
drive signals for each type of DU. The DU data base has the information about
the drive signals.
You can load the DUDB into the DEU. It takes approximately 5 minutes to
Load the DUDB into each DEU.
If the OPS is not compatible with the DEU, the OPS will not load into the DEU.
The other compatibility checks are done automatically at initialization.
If the DEU finds anything that is not compatible, you see a CDS FAULT
