Abstract
An aircraft cabin equipment control system has control hardware that includes a data processing apparatus and a plurality of interfaces for connection to items of cabin equipment of an aircraft, as well as equipment programs for controlling the cabin equipment. To simplify manufacture of the aircraft cabin equipment control system and to achieve more flexible power distribution within the aircraft, there is provided an aircraft cabin equipment control system which has a configuration manager that records and stores equipment data which characterize both the number of the items of cabin equipment to be controlled and also the type of the items of cabin equipment themselves, and on the basis of the equipment data in conjunction with data characterizing the aircraft to set up configurations which form the basis for control of the cabin equipment.
