TT--950/951/952 T2CAS Computer Unit Interface Description (cont)Connector PinDesignation Functional DescriptionRMP--2E Spare PinRMP--2F, 2G 8 Ohm Audio Output: (RMP--2F [HI], RMP--2G [LO])This is a synthesized voice output supplied by the T2CAS computer unit. Its level isprogrammable up to 8 Watts into an 8 Ohm speaker. All aural traffic and resolutionadvisories are announced over this output. See RBP--7A for audio level programming.RMP--2H, 2J Radio Altimeter No. 1 ARINC 552/Analog Input: (RMP--2H [HI], RMP--2J [LO])Normal aircraft configurations include either two digital or two analog radio altimetersources. The T2CAS computer unit attempts to establish which type is present in order toobtain data from one of the two available sources. TCAS first checks the radio altimeterNo. 1 valid flag at RMP--2K. If No. 1 is not valid then No. 2 valid is checked at RBP--3C.If neither are valid then TCAS checks digital source No. 1 for valid data on the ARINC429 bus at RMP--13H and RMP--13J. If none of the above are valid then the TCASchecks the digital source No. 2 for valid data on the ARINC 429 bus at RBP--3D andRBP--3E. This process is repeated until a valid flag or data is detected.Until a valid source is found, the TCAS function inhibits all surveillance, CAS, and TA/RAdisplay functions, records failures in maintenance memory, and sets the TCAS systemstatus discrete output at RMP--13K to invalid. The TCAS function uses radio altitude toinhibit advisories and aural annunciation when in close proximity to the ground. Thisanalog input No. 1, as well as analog input No. 2, can accept data as a dc voltage fromseveral types of radio altimeters. The type of radio altimeter is selected using theprogram pins RMP--12B and RMP--12H thru RMP--12K.RMP--2K Radio Altimeter No. 1 Valid Input (PO)See RMP--2H. A valid condition is greater than +18.5 Vdc. An invalid is open circuit.RMP--3A Corrective Visual Advisory Discrete Output (NO)The visual advisory discrete outputs are ground/open type discretes (Note 3) used tooperate the annunciator lights on the displays. This output is activated whenever acorrective aural advisory is issued. The output remains active for the duration of theadvisory unless cancelled by the cancel discrete at RMP--3D. Only one visual advisory isactive at a time. The active state is ground and the inactive state is open.RMP--3B Preventive Visual Advisory Discrete Output (NO)Same as RMP--3A, except this discrete is activated whenever a preventative auraladvisory is issued.RMP--3C Traffic Visual Advisory Discrete Output (NO)Same as RMP--3A, except this discrete is active during a traffic advisory.RMP--3D Cancel Discrete Input (NO)This input discrete provides a means of canceling aural and visual alerts. It should beconnected to a cancel button (momentary ground type), if used. Groundprox/Windshearhas priority over the cancel button. Open is the inactive state and a momentary ground(less than 50 Ohms) produces the active state, canceling any active aural or visual alert.](https://usermanual.wiki/ACSS-an-L-3-Communications-and-Thales/TT-951.Users-Manual-Part-2/User-Guide-303505-Page-44.png)

TAWS/RWS Data Configuration(1) ASDBThe ASDB is a field loadable database that customizes the T2CAS operation for aspecific aircraft. The ASDB defines the Input/Output definition for the specific aircrafttype, the aircraft climb performance data to support of the TAWS functionality, andthe windshear algorithm coefficient data. The ASDB file is produced with a uniquepart number and can be uploaded to the APM via the RS--232 port or from aCompact Flash card.The ASDB I/O Database contains specific information needed to perform the I/Ofunctionality for the specific aircraft type. The I/O tables define the following types ofinformation for processing system inputs and outputs:•Physical mapping between external systems and T2CAS inputs and outputs.Example, GPS #1 is connected to ARINC 429 Input Bus #5.](https://usermanual.wiki/ACSS-an-L-3-Communications-and-Thales/TT-951.Users-Manual-Part-2/User-Guide-303505-Page-95.png)

It contains performance data for that aircraft which isused by TAWS and Windshear functions. It also contains I/O configuration data forthe aircraft that defines and configures the interfaces to the aircraft system. For eachaircraft type, a unique Aircraft Type Data file is produced by ACSS that has a uniquepart number.The Installation Option data replaces the function of program pin (strap) inputs, andallows the installer to customize the operation of the unit at the time of installation.Types of functions that can be configured include display options, discrete outputoptions, altitude callout options, aural annunciation volume control, and other options.A complete list of Operator Selectable Options is contained in Table 4--7 andTable 4--8.The programming of the APM includes the Aircraft Type Data and Installation OptionData, and is accomplished through the RS--232 port on the PDL connector through aLaptop PC, or a Compact Flash Card. The APM data file that contains both types ofdata is generated on a PC with the EDDIT software tool and allows the selection ofthe aircraft type and installation options for that aircraft type. The EDDIT tool builds afile that contains a cyclical redundancy check (CRC) field around the APM data. Witha blank APM installed in the aircraft, the file can be uploaded to the T2CAS unit overthe RS--232 port or through a Compact Flash card. The T2CAS will then program theAPM.Verification of the correct APM contents may be accomplished by the RS--232 port oron the TAWS display. After the APM is programmed, the T2CAS, will output theAircraft Type Data part number and the installation option settings to the RS--232port. Additionally, it will display the APM configuration information on the TAWSdisplay. The data contained in the APM is recorded as part of the aircraftconfiguration data. The software in the T2CAS unit checks the CRC of the data toinsure the file is not corrupted.Table 4--7.

The A429 receivers are capable of receiving high orlow speed data through APM configuration. The ports are designated H or L ifthey are designated for a function with a known bus speed, otherwise H/L isassigned (there is no hardware difference between the H, L or H/L ports).ARINC 429 outputs are also classified as either high speed (H), low speed (L) orselectable (H/L). A429 outputs designated as H/L speed are capable ofoperating in either high or low speed modes, selectable by the APM through theASDB database.(b) Ethernet 10 Base--T SignalsEthernet 10 Base--T is specified in IEEE Standard 802.3 Ethernet 10 Base--Tprovides communication at a data rate of 10 MBPS over two pairs of wires,where one twisted pair is used to receive data and the other twisted pair is usedto transmit data. Segments of approximately 100 meters in length can beconstructed when twisted pair wire that meets the EIA/TIA Category 3 wirespecifications is used.(c) RS--422 SignalsThe TAWS/RWS card has an RS--422 Input bus which is multiplexed on thesame pins as an ARINC 429 Input bus. The RS--422 Input Bus meets theelectrical requirements in EIA/TIA--422--B.The RS--422 Input Bus has an input impedance on each pin relative to ground of≥9k Ohms and a differential input impedance between + and -- pins of ≥9kOhms.NOTE: This is due to the fact the input is multiplexed with an ARINC 429Receiver.The RS--422 Output Bus has an output impedance of 75 ±5 Ohms distributedequally between the + and -- outputs.(d) GPS Time MarkThe GPS Time Mark Input accepts RS--422 GPS Time Mark signals from anARINC--743A GPS.](https://usermanual.wiki/ACSS-an-L-3-Communications-and-Thales/TT-951.Users-Manual-Part-2/User-Guide-303505-Page-112.png)

TAWS/RWS Input Data SignalsThe T2CAS TAWS/RWS functions requires a minimum set of data that is needed toperform within the standard specifications (detailed in RTCA DO--161A [GPWS],TSO--C151a [TAWS] and TSO--C117a [RWS] ). This section contains the minimum set ofTAWS/RWS data signals and the information/guidelines that is needed by the installer toobtain the correct analog or digital signal on a specific aircraft. Since the TAWS/RWS I/Ofunction is very flexible, the installer must keep in mind that the data signal sources listedin this section are typical for the specified signal and that the I/O function can be modifiedvia the ASDB to accommodate other non--typical signal sources.The information in this section will include External Sensor Input accuracies for specificinputs to T2CAS GCAM function. These External Sensor accuracies must be met for thespecified inputs in order for the T2CAS to perform the TAWS/RWS functions. Inputs toT2CAS GCAM function consists of errors due to the external system sensor plusmeasurement errors within the T2CAS LRU. In addition, for analog inputs the internalT2CAS errors due to the hardware circuit are also considered.(1) Vertical Speed (Digital/Analog)The TAWS/RWS Vertical Speed parameter is updated from an Inertial, GPS or AirData Computer source. The IRS/GPS source can be any one of the following :ADIRS, GPIRS, IRS, AHRS, GPS and ADC.NOTE: When Vertical Speed is unavailable from an IRS or GPS source, thealternate variable Baro Altitude Rate will be used from an ADC source.The minimum External Sensor input accuracy accepted is 68 ft/min when GPS is thesource or 30 ft/min when IRS, ADIRS, AHRS or ADC (alternate Baro Altitude Ratevariable) is the source.](https://usermanual.wiki/ACSS-an-L-3-Communications-and-Thales/TT-951.Users-Manual-Part-2/User-Guide-303505-Page-116.png)

In addition, the test pattern is removed from the display(s)and a TCAS PASS annunciation is displayed. If the test fails, the words “TCAS TestFail” are transmitted once aurally and a TCAS FAIL annunciation is displayed on theapplicable display(s).If the TCAS short test fails, do the TCAS Computer Unit Self--Test proceduresreferenced in paragraph 4.C. to determine which LRU or subsystem is not functioningproperly. To troubleshoot the system, refer to the procedures in the FAULTISOLATION section.(2) Extended Test ModeThe extended test mode provides a flight deck initiated test that displays variouspages of text information that is selected by the ATC Mode S control panel 4096code switches. This test mode is accessible only when on the ground and cannot beinitiated while airborne.The extended test mode is used for maintenance purposes only. It displays variouspages of text information containing the TCAS software part number, fault messages,status of program pins, analog and digital inputs, and other aircraft parameters.To start the test, push and hold the TEST button/switch on the ATC/TCAS controllerfor a minimum of 9 seconds. In addition the conditions that follow must occur:•TCAS is in Standby•The selected transponder is in Standby•Aircraft is on the ground (The AIR/GND discrete [RMP--5K] is grounded)•Landing gear is extended (Landing Gear discrete [RMP--13F] is grounded).Once the extended test mode is established, the 4096 code switches on theATC/TCAS controller are used to select the desired maintenance page for display.Table 5--3 lists the extended mode page names and numbers and the corresponding4096 Ident Code number.](https://usermanual.wiki/ACSS-an-L-3-Communications-and-Thales/TT-951.Users-Manual-Part-2/User-Guide-303505-Page-139.png)
