Engine Indicating and Crew Alerting System (EICAS)

DescriptionThe function of the EICAS is to display the engine instruments and to provide visual and aural crew-alert messages and real-time interpretation of aircraft system operation.

Two EICAS displays present the data on different selectable display pages. Some display pages are shown by default, others are available through crew selection. The EICAS control panel (ECP), located on the center pedestal, controls the displayed information.

Engine indications are provided on the EICAS primary page. Color is used to depict normal and non-normal ranges of operation.

The Crew Alerting System (CAS) provides visual and aural alerts as determined by the Data Concentrator Unit (DCU) upon occurrence of a malfunction. The CAS prioritizes messages by order of occurrence and order of importance.

Components and Operation

EICAS Control Panel

The EICAS control panel is located on the center pedestal. The panel remains illuminated during a complete AC power failure and the PRI, STAT, STEP and CAS keys remain operational.

EICAS Displays

The EICAS displays are computer-controlled video displays. EICAS display No. 1 (ED 1) is installed on the left of the center instrument panel and EICAS display No. 2 (ED 2) is installed on the right of the center panel (Figure 3-1).

The EICAS displays present system information on primary, status, synoptic and menu pages. ED 1 displays the primary page by default. ED 2 is defaulted to the status page. Page selection is accomplished via the ECP (Figure 3-2).

AURAL/VISUAL WARNING

P I L O T T R A I N I N G G U I D E

Data Concentrator Unit (DCU)

The data concentrator unit is the heart of the EICAS. The DCU collects data from various aircraft systems, processes the information and relays it to the proper component or display. In a standard configuration, there are two DCUs installed in the aircraft. They are designated DCU 1 and DCU 2. An optional third DCU can be installed and is labeled DCU 3 as per service bulletin 604-31-001.

All DCUs share in providing information to the EICAS displays. Internal switching logic determines how the information is provided by the two or three DCUs. If a partial or complete failure of a DCU occurs, system redundancy ensures that no displayed data is lost. In aircraft with the optional third DCU, an additional level of redundancy is provided.

Data concentrator units receive inputs from the following systems:

• Engines• Landing gear• Flaps• Spoilers• Auxiliary Power Unit (APU)• Flight controls• Avionics• Stall Protection System• Ground Proximity Warning System (GPWS)• Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance System (TCAS)• Crew Alerting System (CAS)• Air Data Computer (ADC) altitude alerting

The DCUs process and format this information then transmit the data on the ARINC bus to the following:

• EICAS displays• Lamp Driver Unit (LDU)• Audio Electronic Control Unit (AECU)• Flight Data Recorder (FDR)• Maintenance Diagnostic Computer (MDC)

The two-channel lamp driver unit receives information from the DCUs and controls the associated panel and glareshield switch/light illumination.

When a DCU generates an EICAS message, the data is sent to the LDU. The LDU then interprets the information and illuminates the switch/light on the appropriate control panel.

AURAL/VISUAL WARNING

For Training Purposes OnlyMay 03

P I L O T T R A I N I N G G U I D E

Should one channel of the LDU fail, the remaining channel continues to operate. Testing the LDU and panel lamps is accomplished by using the test switch located on the miscellaneous test panel. The three-position LAMP TEST switch is spring-loaded to the center OFF position. Holding the switch to position 1 or 2 tests the associated LDU channel and lamps.

AC power is required to perform the lamp test.

Synoptic Pages

Synoptic pages are normally displayed on ED 2. In cases of ED 2 failure or crew preference, they can also be displayed on ED 1 or on a MFD.

The synoptic pages provide the pilot with real-time interpretation of aircraft hydraulic, electrical and flight controls system operation. Color logic is used to depict normal, precautionary and maximum system limit as follows:

• normal range, indication is green• precautionary range, the system indicator turns amber• exceeds the limits, the indicator turns red

Flow lines are used on a number of synoptic pages. Although not all pages will display the four colors, generally the color logic is as follows:

• black, indicates no flow• amber, indicates below normal values• green, indicates normal value• red, indicates exceeding normal values

EICAS MessagesThe Crew Alerting System (CAS) provides visual and aural alerts when the DCUs detect a malfunction. The CAS prioritizes messages by order of occurrence and categorizes them by importance as follows:

• order of occurrence: The most recent message appears on the top of its message category

• order of importance: There are four levels of CAS message importance: Warning, Caution, Advisory and Status

Warning Messages

The most urgent messages are called Warnings and are red in color. Warning messages are presented on the top of the primary page and remain in view until the problem is resolved.

Warning messages require immediate action and are always accompanied by:

• a triple attenson• flashing master warning lights• red light on the faulted control switch or a red indication on EFIS, EICAS, or a

synoptic page

Warning messages, in addition to the above indications, can also generate one or both of the following:

AURAL/VISUAL WARNING

P I L O T T R A I N I N G G U I D E

• aural warning tone• voice message

Pressing either master warning switch/light:

• silences the aural alerts• stops the master warning lights from flashing• resets the switch/light to allow it to indicate another fault

Caution Messages

Caution messages are second in order of importance. Caution messages are presented in amber on the primary page and appear directly below any warning messages that may be displayed. It is possible to have more than one page of caution messages. The CAS pushbutton on the ECP allows the pilot to page forward and backward to view the entire list of caution messages. During flight or on the ground when both engines are stabilized at idle, caution message(s) can be removed from view or recalled to the screen by pressing the CAS key on the ECP. A white MSGS icon will appear, advising the crew that the caution message(s) are out of view. Pressing the CAS button a second time will cause the caution message(s) to reappear. DCU generation of a new caution message will remove the MSGS icon and the new message will be displayed on the top of the caution message stack.

Caution messages require prompt action and are always accompanied by:

• a single attenson• flashing master caution lights• amber light on the faulted control switch or an amber indication on EFIS, EICAS,

or a synoptic page

Pressing either master caution switch/light:

• stops the flashing of the master caution lights• resets the master caution switch/light to allow it to annunciate another fault

Advisory Messages

Green advisory messages are presented at the top of the status page. Advisory messages cannot be removed from view until the cause is deselected or deactivated. Advisory messages are used to advise of:

• aircraft configuration for a particular phase of flight• successful system test• confirmation of SOV closure• SELCAL

• low-priority system failures

Takeoff Configuration WarningThe Takeoff Configuration Warnings are armed on the ground when both engines accelerate as a result of thrust levers being advanced above 70% N1. A voice warning, an EICAS warning message and flashing red Master Warning annunciators are provided for any of the following conditions:

All TOC warnings are canceled when the configuration error is corrected.

Inhibited EICAS Caution MessagesDuring takeoff and landing, the DCU logic inhibits distracting EICAS caution messages. The logic inhibits messages during takeoff when the left and right engine N1 are greater or equal to 79% and above 80 kts with weight-on-wheels. On landing, the messages are inhibited when radio altitude is less than 400 feet above ground level (AGL) with landing gear extended.

Display Reversionary Control

EICAS Reversionary Mode

The EICAS reversionary mode provides an alternate method of displaying EICAS information should ED 1 or ED 2 fail.

In the event of ED 1 failure, the primary page is automatically transferred to ED 2. This automatic feature ensures that engine indications and warning and caution messages are always available to the pilot. There is no automatic transfer of status page information should ED 2 fail.

Display Reversionary Control Panel

The display reversionary control panel is located on the center pedestal. The reversionary selector switches (L MFD, EICAS, R MFD) are used when a malfunction exists.

The L MFD and R MFD reversionary switches are identical, and have three positions designated as PFD, NORM and EICAS. In EICAS position, the status-page information is displayed by default on the MFD.

The EICAS reversionary selector is also a three-position switch designated as NORM, ED 1 and ED 2. In the NORM position, normal EICAS display is represented on ED 1 and ED 2. When the selector is moved to either ED 1 or ED 2 position, the opposite ED is disabled and blanked while the primary and secondary information is available on the selected display.

PFD Reversionary Mode

When a primary flight display (PFD) fails, the information can be transferred to the associated MFD. The L (R) MFD rotary knob on the display reversionary control panel, when selected to the PFD position, effects the transfer.

MFD Reversionary Mode

There is no reversionary mode for the data normally presented on the multifunction displays (MFDs).

Maintenance Diagnostic Computer

Description

The maintenance diagnostic computer (MDC) is an onboard computer that is used to record aircraft mechanical and avionics system data. Maintenance personnel can retrieve the information for use in engine trend analysis, significant event recording and for avionics/aircraft system failure detection.

Operation

The MDC continuously records data for fault analysis and engine trend monitoring. The MDC data is downloadable to a maintenance facility computer.

MDC data is available on the flight deck by means of a red guarded switch on circuit breaker panel number one (CBP 1). Data can be displayed on MFD 1 or MFD 2, as determined by switch selection. Instructions on MDC data presentation are displayed on the selected MFD.

Flight Data Recorder

Description

The flight data recorder (FDR) records aircraft flight parameters. The FDR system includes a digital FDR, an underwater locator device (ULD) and a triaxial accelerometer. (See also Chapter 6 Communications)

Components and Operation

The FDR is located in the aft equipment bay and records the last 25 hours of flight data in a solid-state memory. The FDR is specially constructed to survive the shock of an aircraft crash. It is automatically turned on when the right engine start switch is pushed.

FDR EVENT Switch

The FDR EVENT switch is located on the PASS SIGNS and EMER LTS panel. When the FDR EVENT switch is pushed, the DCUs place a marker into the FDR memory for quick data retrieval of the recorded event. A green advisory message FDR EVENT is then displayed on the secondary EICAS page.
