Global 7000/8000 Flight Control System Remote Electronics Unit (REU)
Client: Bombardier
Duration: January 2017 – September 2018
Role: Technical Lead

Description:

The principle functions of the REU are to provide closed loop control of the Aileron, Elevator, Rudder, and Multi-function Spoiler. The REU also provides ancillary functions such as fault monitoring, status; maintenance support, rigging, and stabilizer trim control (via MCE).
The Command Lane CSCIs are embedded within the Analog Devices ADSP-21469 Digital Signal Processor (DSP) in the Command Lane. The Monitor Lane CSCIs are embedded within the TMS320F28335 DSP in the Monitor Lane.
Each lane processes independent sensor inputs and provides independent control of the actuators.For the REU, a Command / Monitor architecture is being implemented to address safety and redundancy. The architecture will mitigate un-commanded or erroneous surface commands. The Command Lane and Monitor Lane will perform the same calculations. The dissimilar hardware architectures for Command and Monitor Lane DSPs and dissimilar processor specific tool chain will mitigate common mode failures.

Role: Technical Lead

Description:
The Common Software Architecture (CSA) form the common platform on which the application code of products can execute. The CSA provides a structure that covers different functions that were considered common among the products. Each product will have the flexibility to add more tests and utilities that are unique to their product. The combination of the CSA and product created utilities components make up the Service Platform on which the application software can execute. Each RSC offers a configuration table with a set of configuration data. The integrator will configure the service platform components via the Configuration Data for RSC performing a product’s requirements.

The Computer software architecture (CSA) includes the following CSCIs:

• BOOT: provides the initial reset control of the micro-board & handle the initial startup and download capabilities.
• Test Link: provides the test link communications to an external test link tool. Ie., Transfer of data to and from the Unit.
• System Services: provides the hardware interface and common functions required for the CEI common hardware design.
• Operating System: provides the periodic scheduling of tasks and the mechanism to communicate data between the tasks.

Responsibilities:

• Involved in writing Software Requirements Specification (SRS), Software Design Documents (SDD), Interface Requirements Specifications (IRS) documents.
• Involved in code and requirement reviews (SRS, SWDD, IRS)
