Building upon the proven performance of the CDU-800 and CDU-900, the CDU-7000 is the latest addition to Rockwell Collins’ CDU product family. The CDU-7000 incorporates the latest commercial technologies into a military-hardened-package to achieve an unparalleled blend of performance and reliability. The CDU-7000 consolidates control of communications, navigation, weapons and defensive aids. The unit is especially well suited to address commercial CNS/ATM and military GATM requirements. Based on Rockwell Collins’ Flight2™ open architecture, the CDU-7000 features a high-quality color active-matrix liquid crystal display (AMLCD), Power PC processor, and 3U Compact PCI compatible circuit cards. The CDU-7000 conforms to Collins’ Flight2™ open architecture principles and complies with numerous commercially supported standards including IEEE 802.3 Ethernet, Peripheral Component Interface (PCI), PCI Mezzanine Card (PMC) per IEEE 1386 and POSIX. Compliance with these standards provides a path for future technology upgrades and allows integration of third-party hardware and software.

Liquid Crystal Display

The CDU-7000 utilizes the same high-quality AMLCD in Collins’ MFD-255 primary flight display instrument. The display provides a resolution of 170 elements per inch and has a dark ambient contract ratio or more than 150:1. The wide viewing angle provides suburb readability from almost any location in the cockpit.

Embedded Multi-Purpose Processor

The CDU-7000 contains a PowerPC 750Cxe / PowerPC 7448 processor card. A high-integrity POSIX-compliant operating system allows multiple applications of varying criticality levels to be hosted on the processor. The robust partitioning implementation fully complies with civil certification standards including RTCA DO-178B.

Ethernet Node

The Ethernet node works in conjunction with the Collins Digital Switch Module (DSM-7020) or Processor Switch Module (PSM-8600) to provide ARINC 664-compliant data flow control. The Ethernet node has a dedicated processing element to handle local area network (LAN) communications and, as such, does not impinge upon the processing capacity of the multi-purpose processor.
