Abstract

A distributed aircraft cabin pressure control system (CPCS), and techniques for interfacing the distributed CPCS to avionics. The CPCS-specific equipment of this disclosure is used in a variety of different type aircraft with no hardware or software change for each aircraft type. In this manner, CPCS-specific equipment is used in different type aircraft without the need for formal re-certification of the CPCS-specific equipment. The CPCS-specific equipment may operate with limited, and fixed, functionality and control algorithms in its hardware and software that would not change from airplane application to application, but it would instead use 'gain terms' transmitted from the avionics. The distributed CPCS processes in the various avionics modules may send information to the CPCS-specific equipment that customizes the operation of the CPCS-specific equipment to that specific aircraft type.
