Increase Data Processing Power with Teledyne Controls' New integrated Data Management Unit (iDMU)

Designed to meet the extensive data monitoring requirements of modern digital aircraft, the iDMU is Teledyne's new-generation Data Management Unit. Integrating the latest microcomputer technology, the iDMU delivers increased performance, while significantly reducing the circuit card count, which results in higher reliability and lower maintenance costs.

Multi-Function Unit
Teledyne's iDMU combines multiple functions into a single unit, allowing operators to reduce weight and power consumption. The unit integrates a data recording function via PC Card media for QAR/DAR and message data recording. Its enhanced ACMS (Aircraft Condition Monitoring System) function supports higher-capacity and faster data throughput, therefore facilitating both aircraft/engine performance monitoring, as well as advanced monitoring of daily flight operations.

Ethernet Enabled
The iDMU features an Ethernet connector which permits high speed data transfer to/from other Ethernet enabled systems. This facilitates data transmission within an airline's operations, therefore promoting initiatives for a "Connected Aircraft".

Flexible ACMS Capability
Like all other Teledyne airborne avionics systems, the iDMU is fully user-programmable via Teledyne's MS Windows-based Application Generation Software (AGS). This software tool allows operators to easily customize the various elements of their ACMS applications, such as QAR/DAR output data maps, MCDU screens and enhanced ACMS reports.

Teledyne's iDMU is certified on the Boeing 747-400 and 767-300 aircraft and is available for both retrofit and forward fit installations. The iDMU is also standard equipment on the 747-8, co-labeled and provided under sub-contract through Rockwell Collins.
