 DPI LABS, Inc. World
Leaders in Cabin Management Systems, Centralized Cabin Control, Cockpit
Aesthetics and In Flight Audio Visual Entertainment brings you the new highly
flexible SmartLink III Cabin Management Control System. The SmartLink family of
products integrate seamlessly into the cabin and is truly unique in function,
style and class.
SmartLink-III is the
latest evolution of our system architecture for integrated cabin management.
SmartLink-III is a completely proprietary system developed by DPI Labs in
response to the unique requirements of the corporate and private aviation
market. SmartLink-III is based on a RS-485 digital data buss and offers
unparalleled performance and flexibility. Due to its compact and tightly
integrated electronics packaging, SL-III offers a very low installed weight
while still providing high reliability and maximum adaptability to the largely
custom requirements of corporate aviation aircraft. SmartLink-III sets new
technological standards and supports the flexibility required for simple or
complex system integration’s as well as easily accommodating future changes that
can occur during service life of an aircraft.
Every component in a
SmartLink-III system is a “smart part” and contains its own microprocessor
controls. These embedded control modules, which continually perform
self-diagnostics, ensure a cabin management system with high reliability.
Typical data buss systems have a single, centralized CPU module controlling the
entire system, and should this module fail, the entire system fails. With the
SmartLink-III distributed logic design, a system wide outage caused by a
“single-point” failure cannot occur. Every device on the SmartLink-III buss will
automatically and physically remove itself from the data buss in the event of a
failure. This style of architecture prevents a single, malfunctioning module or
component from loading or corrupting the data buss, and hence, the entire cabin
management system. Every switch panel on SL-III has its own remote electronics
module, and will retain all local functions in the event of a buss failure.
Other SmartLink-III features include a robust “Watchdog Circuit” and an
Anti-Collision Code protocol.
The wiring for
SmartLink-III is a very simple single data line buss for the cabin with every
component connected via a “T” junction. This type of connection allows the
flexibility of creating a standardized harness with pre-installed “T’s” to
accommodate most of the possible panel and component locations, whether standard
or optional. This data line buss, using a twisted , shielded wire pair, provides
the means by which all components communicate. The data buss allows easy
handling of complex functions with multiple location controls, which are
accomplished without any additional wiring. The DPI Labs SmartLink-III
anti-collision code is a proprietary development to handle simultaneous commands
in the system so that all commands are processed correctly without any delayed,
lost, or unintended commands.

| 20000 Series Switches and Switch Panel

 The
DPI Labs 20,000 Series of Switches and Switch Panels, simply stated, is the
reference by which all other switches and switch panels are measured. They
provide the ultimate in reliability, flexibility, and quality taken deeper
than ever before. Tested and proven to operate reliably over 3 million
operations, every switch and switch panel masterfully combines the artistry
and elegance of custom, fine jewelry, with the benefits of advanced
technology. Activation of the switch is consistent across the face of the
whole keypad. All the face surfaces, including the keypad, are metal, and
can be finished in a wide variety of combinations to match personal
preferences. The switches and light plate are individually backlit to
provide maximum flexibility with color selection and ease of viewing. Using
an additional SmartLink-III™ module, backlighting brightness can be set to
automatically adjust to the ambient light level of the cabin. The 20,000
Series Switching System: Advanced technology that integrates switches,
displays, bar graphs, audio jacks, and other cabin management functions into
a tastefully presented, functional design.

Product Overview
| SmartPack™ and Control Modules
|
The
SP67 SmartPack™
connects any DPI Labs remote switch panel into the SmartLink-III™ Cabin
Management System. The SP67’s (3) relays and (2) discrete inputs can be used
to control a wide variety of local relay functions. Local relay control is
not limited to the switch panels connected directly to the SmartPack™; Other
remote panels on the aircraft can be configured to access the same relays –
no extra wiring required! Due to its compact design, a SmartPack™ can be
located very close to the loads it controls, keeping harness weight low and
wire runs short, a big plus in the tight confines of today’s corporate
aircraft. An added benefit of the SP67 is its Pulse-Width-Modulation
capability, used to offer dimming functions for local reading and table
lights. The unique redundancy design of the module keeps all local functions
online in the event of a bus failure. With the SP67’s firmware download
capability, local switch panel controls can be quickly reconfigured, making
your customers happy and future expansion of your cabin management system
easier than ever before.
