Turnkey solution for avionics electrical test compliance

Avionics electrical component manufacturers need to meet very exacting test standards to achieve approval by aircraft manufacturers, and the EACS system is a unique combination of hardware and software designed to comply with the complex procedures established by industry leaders such as EADS and Boeing.

Extended test libraries are currently available for Airbus ABD100 (Tables A-B-C-D/E), Airbus AMD24 (Tables SVF/SCF-TVF/TCF-LDC), Boeing Power Quality (Tables AC-DC Low-DCHigh), and DO160, EN2282 and Eurocae custom tables.

The system platform software uses the Elgar SmartWave AC Source to provide the complex AC and DC power to run the tests, and the Yokogawa ScopeCorder multi-channel acquisition unit to record the results, check the compliance, print the data report and save all executed scenarios. There are thousands of test sequences that will be setup, run and recorded automatically, bringing the quality assurance of an automatic system and saving months of engineering work.

Optional qualification and measurement system data reports and archive management, compatible with Elgar SW source and SWCS software, help engineers to compile detailed test records. For customers already using Elgar AC sources, the EACS software and drivers can be purchased independently.

TTi is organising a seminar on the system at the Duxford Imperial War Museum, Cambridgeshire, on the 11th October 2007, featuring a presentation by Philippe Braule from MB Electronique in France. The seminar will help engineers to understand the definition of the relevant standards and how the EACS system can help to save time and improve reporting while testing.
