Problem Description

Due to hardware processing / viewing of flight messages of the Hercules C-130 is outdated, the purpose or the project is to replace the old equipment for 6x8“ 5 new screens. By including this new system 5 processing units must also be integrated to control messages of each screen. Being the technology that has not been tested, the check of the proper functioning on land is necessary.

Objective

The objective is to create a simulator to test the proper functioning of 6x8 " 5 new screens that will be incorporated into the equipment of the airplane. It is required to prove communication of the screens on the ground without being incorporated into the aircraft, for this reason a software simulator will be created to generate messages, to manage variables of flight, and to send messages to PUs (Processing Units) for each screen, to check how that messages are displayed.

Simulator Operation

C130 Simulator program will replace that hardware of the system that sends messages to DUs (Display Units), consisting of Mission Computer 1 and 2, and data recieved by sensors (radar).

Data Collection

Software is installed on a machine that connects the 5 Display Units by an Excalibur Systems PCI card. It tests performance of these 5 new DUs by sending messages from various aircraft sensors.

Messages are pre-designed and loaded from data files to be configured later by the application.

Main Features

C130 simulators chose from which Mission Computer you want to send messages, allowing to save a Log (Shipments file) of those messages sent for testing with themselves.

Configurable Features:

• To select which messages should be sent at all times.
• To select to which Display Units you want to send messages for testing.
• Set variables for each message.
• To delete and save lists of messages.

It consists of independent modules of the program for sending messages to the C130 simulator from messages stored in log files.
