RDC

RDC is a Remote Data Concentrator intended to collect distributed aircraft signals and consolidate them for the wider avionics system. The published record describes separate channel-A and channel-B architecture and an ASIC-based design developed for a high-reliability embedded environment. It also identifies a mixed input and output role, allowing the equipment to reduce point-to-point wiring between remote aircraft functions and central computers. SERMA Ingénierie’s current aeronautical portfolio confirms its work on embedded electronic equipment, FPGA and safety-critical developments. Public model-specific documentation is limited, so interface standards, I/O electrical characteristics, redundancy behaviour and qualification levels are left unspecified.
