The SmartPack
Our Core Module
The SmartPack connects any DPI switch panel, touch screen and cabin control module to the SmartLink Cabin Management System. Integrated relays, pulse-width modulation, and discrete inputs can be used to control a wide variety of local functions for multiple devices without extra wiring. Due to it’s compact design, a SmartPack can be located very close to the loads it controls, keeping harness weight low and wire runs short and simplified.
The SmartPacks unique redundancy in design keeps all local functions online in the event of a buss failure. With firmware download capability both locally and across the globe, local switch panel controls and system architecture can be quickly reconfigured, making expansion even easier than before.
• 5-AMP Form-A and 30-AMP Form-A relays
• RTCA/DO-160E compliant design
• High Speed C-Can bus communications
• PWM Light Controller for continuous dimming of incandescent or LED lighting
• Discrete Inputs (low & high) and discrete outputs
• Hot-Spare programable via the Tech-In-A-Box
System Control Modules
Since 1986, DPI has created and developed a wide range of controllers, designed to handle virtually any situation. From OEM, black-box solutions to one-of-a-kind applications, DPI has a tremendous library of controllers that are ready to meet your requirements.
Specialized System Control Modules
Where specialized individual control of cabin functions is necessary or with earlier versions of the SmartLink Cabin Management System specific system control modules may be applied.
The Interphone Module allows the aircraft’s cabin interphone to be integrated with the SmartLink-III system. This module contains an integral earphone amplifier and automatic level and volume controls of the interphone audio.
The discrete I/O module is an analog to digital converter. The discrete inputs/outputs are determined by the firmware and may be easily changed by the electrical engineers to meet their installation requirements.
Containing both relays and PWM dimming capabilities, the Lighting Control Module may be installed in the Passenger Service Units to greatly reduce table and reading light wire lengths.
The Lighting and Temperature Control Module provides control of the indirect lights and cabin control of the aircraft’s temperature control system. This module can be configured for either full, or partial control of the cabin temperature.
The Lighting and Temperature Control Module provides control of the indirect lights and cabin control of the aircraft’s temperature control system. This module can be configured for either full, or partial control of the cabin temperature.
Provides Automatic Control for Backlighting of all of the Cabin Management System Panels. Using this module, the switch panels may be controlled automatically using a light sensor, or may be manually controlled using a potentiometer.
This module provides a cabin temperature display. Supporting 4 zones, one module is sufficient for the entire aircraft. Interfacing with a digital sensor, the cabin temperature readout module offers precise temperature readings.
The Interphone Module allows the aircraft’s cabin interphone to be integrated with the SmartLink-III system. This module contains an integral earphone amplifier and automatic level and volume controls of the interphone audio.
