“It can be used for other aircraft, like Boeing, Bombardier or Embraer, as well. “The intention is that these data loggers can be used for other aircraft types like A340, A330 and the A380,” Brehmer said, noting that the logger isn’t confined to the flight aircraft for which it was built.Īnd while Airbus has been the only manufacturer using the system so far, Brehmer envisions a much larger market. It can time-synchronously record up to 32 gigabytes of data from two CAN channels and four analog measurement channels and is interoperable in aircraft with CAN networks including galley, water and waste, environmental control and de-icing systems. The result is a portable data logger that can be placed almost anywhere in the fuselage of nearly every aircraft system that is in a pressurized area, according to Brehmer. However, the system also meets typical avionic requirements on electromagnetic compatibility (EMI) suitable for the A350 XWB’s composite fuselage. Vector began building the data logger to the requirements of Airbus and RTCA DO-160E standards - the special qualifications of airborne equipment for vibrational shocks and environmental conditions such as humidity. With the GL1020FTE data logger, Vector aims to make collecting and analyzing data for the three cabin systems involved - galley, water and waste, and auxiliary heating - easier, faster and, above all, smaller. It is used extensively by Airbus for cabin testing in its A350 XWB to reduce the number of interconnected wires from control panels in the flight deck to system computers in the avionics compartment. A CAN data bus is a serial communication protocol for a reliable, simple and cost-efficient data exchange between electronic units, first introduced for Mercedes-Benz cars in the 1990s.
