AIRCRAFT DATA INTERFACE FUNCTION IMPLEMENTATION USING AIRCRAFT CONDITION MONITORING FUNCTION AND DATA GATHERING APPLICATION ARCHITECTURE

摘要

An aircraft data interface function (ADIF) server system comprises a processing module that hosts an aircraft condition monitoring function, comprising an airline modifiable information database including a history buffer and one or more logic units; a management information base (MIB) database; a parameter snapshot database; and a simple network management protocol (SNMP) agent in communication with the MIB database and parameter snapshot database. A core network unit communicates with the SNMP agent and an SNMP manager in an ADIF client. The SNMP agent sends messages to and receives messages from the SNMP manager through the core network unit. The ADIF server system interfaces with one or more avionics systems through a common data network to obtain and store aircraft parameter information. The ADIF client is configured via the core network unit to interact with the ADIF server system to request and receive the aircraft parameter information.
