including parts obsolescence mitigation and functional
upgrades, becomes even more significant for the airlines.

What is A380 IMA?
Since
mid 80s the former Airbus partners have done research on
IMA for their systems (PACTS, IDEE3, NEVADA, PAMELA,
VICTORIA)
– With the objective to merge different system design approaches and
different procurement approaches
•
•
•
•
Closed loop control systems, data management and processing systems
Safety critical and non safety critical
Software only functions to full multi-domain systems like fuel
Complete design in house, integration of components to fully outsourced

Therefore
the IMA solution had to:
– Be suitable for different types of systems (I/O needs / Performances /
Safety )
– Be suitable for a large number of systems and their suppliers to allow
real competition
– Compartmentalised to allow parallel developments to be managed

What is A380 IMA? - Airbus Concept
• IMA shared resources are:
the
avionics communications network: the solution selected is AFDX
(Avionics Full Duplex Ethernet), fully compatible with Ethernet network
of Open World and based on common switch modules
Modules, i.e. Core Processing & Input / Output Modules or CPIOM,
Input/ Output Modules or IOM, ,...) for hosting of several applications
and signal acquisition/transmission

What is A380 IMA? Airbus Concept
• The AIRBUS IMA concept is based on “shared Modules”. A modulefocused approached has been preferred compared with the previous
concept of “Cabinet”. Its key features are:
ARINC 600 IMA Module packaging connected to AFDX network
Robust partitioning in computing resource & communications
Determinism of application execution & data exchanges
Standardised Application Programming Interface (API) to avoid
obsolescence impacts on applications
Conventional equipment’s mixable
© AIRBUS UK LTD. All rights reserved. Confidential and proprietary document.
• Resource sharing has a direct impact on the way to design and
implement systems since it creates new dependencies between them,
both from a technical and a process point of view.
• This concept has been selected as the baseline for systems design on
Cockpit, Utility, Energy and Cabin domains and extended globally on
all the domains.

• Avionics communications are based on multicast:
one
transmitter
one or several receivers
• Asynchrony individual clocks
• NO reconfiguration capability in the AFDX network

AFDX: Performances
• Does AFDX sustain expected real time performance:
Yes:
real time performances were really challenging, both on the
ES and the switch (ES wire speed reception ie 200 Mbits/s ; switch
wire speed switching, with only bottleneck on output buffer).
• Packet loss percentage:
© AIRBUS UK LTD. All rights reserved. Confidential and proprietary document.
0
% in the switch by definition (a configuration where the switch
cannot guarantee that no frames are lost is not “schedulable” and
thus not produced)
Nevertheless frame may be lost due to
– Bit error rate (target 10-8)
– Failures

– The function / system supplier takes “credit” from the qualification
activities of Module Manager and Module Supplier
– Does not have to prove functionality, performance and behaviour of the
