1.2 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

This section provides a description of the KFC 500 Automatic Flight Control System as installed on
the Bell 430 helicopter. The AFCS is composed of one KCP 520 Flight Control Computer, one KMS
540 or KMS 541 Mode Select Panel, one KCM 100 configuration module, three KSM 575 linear
actuator assemblies, three KSA 572 trim actuators, three spring cartridge assemblies, four control
position synchros, and one KRG 333 Triaxial Rate/Acceleration sensor.
Table 1--1 lists the components and part numbers that comprise the KFC 500 system. Figure 1--1
shows a block diagram of the KFC 500 system as installed on the Bell 430. Figure 1--2 shows power
distribution for the AFCS.
The KFC 500 system is a three axis (pitch, roll, and yaw) flight control system with flight director.
The heart of the system is the KCP 520 Flight Control Computer. The KCP 520 receives mode
requests and engages valid AFCS flight modes. Servo motor commands are also generated by the
KCP 520 when in coupled flight to provide aircraft control. The three KSM 575 linear actuators form
part of the basic aircraft control rods for control of the helicopter. The three KSA 572 trim actuators
are used for autopilot autotrim and provide the basic ship force trim system.
The AFCS flight modes are requested by the KMS 540 or KMS 541 mode select panel. The KMS
540 and KMS 541 are microcontroller based push button control panels used to select and display
selected flight modes. The KMS 540 provides both AFCS and Flight Director mode control and the
KMS 541 is used in systems without Flight Director to provide basic AP and SCAS mode
annunciation and control.
The KCP 520 receives inputs from one KVG 350 vertical gyro, one KCS 305 compass system, and
one KRG 333 rate/acceleration sensor in all system configurations. Also, a KCM 100 configuration
module is installed with the system to maintain configuration information which is specific to a
particular aircraft. Additional inputs are required from an airdata source, a radar altimeter, and an
electronic flight control indicator system for flight director modes. The KAD 480 airdata system
provides airdata information to the KFC 500 system.
A KRA 405 Radar Altimeter provides radar altitude information to the KFC 500 system. The
Rogerson and Kratos EFIS provides the display for flight director command bars and attitude, as
well as heading and navigation inputs required.
The KAD 480 system and the KRA 405 Radar Altimeter are not considered part of the basic system
and are not required in a basic AP and SCAS mode system configuration.

1.6.3 KSM 575 LINEAR ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY

1.6.3.1 Description
The KSM 575 Linear Actuator assembly consists of a linear actuator, clevis, and control tube. The
linear actuator contains a DC torque motor, an LVDT position sensor, and a brake release solenoid.
All drive signals are generated in the FCC. The actuator assembly is in series with the control
system and is used as an actuator during active control by the autopilot and as a rigid control link
during pilot operation. The KSM 575s are supplied as assemblies from the factory with a
predetermined length established. This length is NOT field adjus and the actuator assembly should
NOT be disassembled in the field.
When modifying aircraft rigging, it is recommended that the actuator be replaced with a calibrated
rigging link since it is difficult to ensure that the actuator piston is in the correct position for aircraft
rigging.
The LVDT provides position feedback to the FCC to close the servo control loop for each of the linear
actuators. The external AC excitation is provided by the FCC.
The brake release solenoid is energized (to release the brake) whenever the autopilot is engaged.
Otherwise, the actuator is locked to provide manual control. The actuator design has sufficient
internal friction such that the aircraft hydraulic actuator can be driven without backdriving the
actuator motor when the brake is not engaged. This reduces the failure criticality of the brake
release solenoid.
The actuators have stroke lengths assigned by part number and must be installed as specified in
the installation data. Actuator motor brake wiring is coded to the connector pins for each axis. This
prevents operation of an actuator installed or connected in an incorrect position.

1.6.4 KSA 572 TRIM SERVO

1.6.4.1 Description
The KSA 572 Trim Actuator applies a force to the aircraft linkages about a clutch--fitted anchoring
point. It also allows displacing the anchoring point via an electrical drive system. The KSA 572
contains a DC motor, a brake release solenoid, and an engage clutch. Motor drive and brake
solenoid signals are generated in the FCC. The clutch is engaged whenever the force trim system
is turned on. The brake is engaged (i.e., the brake release solenoid is not powered) anytime the
autotrim function is not being used. The KFC 500 system controls only the brake and the motor
drive. Therefore, removal of the FCC does not prevent operation of the servo as a Magnetic Brake
system. There are three trim servos used in the KFC 500 system. The clutch and brake are
necessary to provide force trim for the helicopter.

1.6.6 KRG 333 RATE/ACCELERATION SENSOR

1.6.6.1 Description
The KRG 333 provides normal and lateral acceleration outputs and pitch, roll, and yaw axis rate
outputs to the FCC. The gradient for normal (vertical) acceleration is 3 volts per G. The gradient
for lateral acceleration is 7.81 volts per G. The gradient for pitch, roll, and yaw axis rate is 200
millivolts per degree/second. All outputs signals from the KRG 333 are differential DC voltage
signals referenced to the KRG 333 signal ground. A positive signal with respect to the KRG 333
signal ground represents acceleration or rate in the forward, right, or upward direction. The KRG
333 valids are capable of sinking 0.030 milliamps maximum to less than 2 volts. The KRG 333 has
a test input which is exercised during the FCC preflight test mode. The test input is used to verify
that the KRG 333 inputs are being received by the FCC. See section 5.1.3.2 for more information
on the KRG 333 test.

SECTION V
THEORY OF OPERATION
5.1 SYSTEM OPERATION

The FCC is the heart of the KFC 500 system. It collects information necessary to perform the flight
control task and performs flight control calculations.
Figure 5--1 shows a block diagram of the KCP 520 FCC. The FCC contains four processors: one
FD processor which calculates flight director commands, two AP processors which control servo
actuators, and a maintenance processor. The FD processor provides take--off guidance, cruise
modes, and category I approach capabilities. The AP processors are redundant processors
providing AP, YD and SCAS control logic, computing servo commands and level one monitoring
providing coupled cruise control and coupled category I approach maneuvers. The maintenance
processor assists in diagnostics and maintenance. These processors communicate with each other
via internal busses.
NOTE
The processor functions are partitioned so that each processor
group performs independent functions. The maintenance
processor provides the maintenance/diagnostic interface. The FD
processor provides fight director information to the pilot via
command bars. The AP processors provide servo control for
coupled flight operations and SCAS damping.
There are three separate power supplies used in the FCC. This also helps to maintain the
independence of the various processors in the unit. There is one power supply for the maintenance
processor. The FD processor receives its power from a second power supply. The third power
supply provides power to the AP processors.
The information contained in this paragraph only pertains to systems which include the flight
director function. Either one or two EFISs are used to collect navigation system and attitude
information and transmit that information to the FCCs FD processor. Mode selection and cockpit
switch information is transmitted by the MSP to the FD processor. The FD processor also receives
altitude and vertical speed information from the air data system and vertical acceleration via the
internal bus from the AP processors. Using the Pilot In Command switch input, it selects which EFIS
is to be used for data input and calculates pitch and roll flight director commands based on mode
selection. Mode selection information from the flight director and information received on an internal
bus from the AP processors is transmitted to the EFIS and the MSP for display. The flight director
commands are transmitted to the EFIS for display as pilot command bars and to the AP processors
for use in coupled modes.
The AP processors receive ARINC 429 air data information for scheduling of control gains. The
remaining external inputs to the AP processors are analog in nature. The AP processors receive
pitch and roll attitude from the vertical gyro, heading from the directional gyro, and body attitude
rates and accelerations from the KRG 333 triaxial rate gyro/accelerometer. The AP processors
control the KSM 575 and KSA 572 actuators. To ensure that the AP processors work together to
provide servo control, one processor (labeled AP A) provides the analog commands for the servos
and the other processor (labeled AP B) provides the discrete control for servo power and
engagement and disengagement of servo brakes. However, each AP processor computes servo
commands and determines power and brake engagement status and communicates its status to
the other AP processor for monitoring purposes. Various cockpit discrete annunciations are also

CS:15546M00.IDU
BENDIX/KING
KFC 500
controlled by the AP processors. For coupled modes, the flight director commands received from
the FD processor via an internal bus are used, or the AP computes a default attitude--hold mode
based on the information received from the vertical gyro and enhanced by the directional gyro and
air data information if available.
The maintenance processor communicates with the other processors of the FCC for maintenance
procedures, allowing FCC inputs to be monitored and outputs to be controlled through a Remote
Terminal Interface (RTI). During normal operation, it retrieves data from the configuration module
on power up and transmits it to the FD and AP processors over internal busses. Codes of errors
detected and transmitted by the other processors are stored by the maintenance processor in
non--volatile memory for later analysis.
The configuration module is used to store installation specific data used by the FCC. This includes
extended and retracted stop positions for the linear actuators, normal control position ranges for
each of the control position resolvers, desired audio volume and frequency for autopilot aural
annunciations, number of EFIS tubes in the EFIS configuration, and whether the system is a
SCAS/ATT only system.
Figure 5--2 details the discrete signals that are input or output from the FCC. This diagram describes
the interface of the force trim system to the FCC, the Go Around switch input to the FCC, and beep
trim inputs to the FCC. In addition, the discrete annunciation outputs from the FCC for AP mode
on, SCAS mode on, AP fail, SCAS fail, and individual axis failures are also included in the diagram.

5.1.1 MSP (Mode Select Panel) Modes of Operation

The MSP operates in the following four (4) modes:
A. Power--up
B. Normal
C. Installation
D. Diagnostic
5.1.1.1 MSP Power--up Mode
When the 28 VDC power to the MSP is greater than 15 VDC, the MSP begins its power--up
sequence, testing the CPU and memory. A brief test of all mode lamps is performed at this time.
During the power--up sequence the front panel buttons (except for AP and SCAS) and the external
switches for Go Around and FD Off are checked for being in an active (pressed) state. If the switches
are active at that time, the MSP will record them as being strapped and they will be disabled (this
will occur if the switch is pressed, stuck, or not available). The disabled switches will remain disabled
until the MSP is powered up again, at which time their state is checked again (if they are still active,
they will remain disabled).
5.1.1.2 MSP Normal Mode
The MSP is ready to perform its normal task of mode selection and mode acknowledgment. The
MSP mode indications may be turned on by pressing the lamp test switch mounted in the cockpit.
During normal mode, the MSP transmits mode request information to the FCC FD processor serially
using the ARINC 429 interface.
First, pressed status of the buttons on the MSP front panel is transmitted to the FCC as discretes.
Second, pressed status of the following cockpit mounted switches is transmitted to the FCC: CBT
switch, YBT switch, FTR switches, and the force trim circuit breaker.
Third, stuck switch information is transmitted to the FCC. The MSP monitors most switch inputs to
determine if the switch is stuck in the on position. Since mode engagement requests are normally
performed by pressing a button momentarily, the MSP determines that a switch is stuck in the on
position if a switch has been pressed for more than 5 seconds. This stuck switch monitoring is not
performed for the CBT switch, the YBT switch, or the FTR switches, since these switches can be
held in an on state for greater lengths of time when the pilot is adjusting aircraft references.
The AP and SCAS button inputs from the MSP are sent directly to the AP processor in the FCC.
This allows for engagement and disengagement of the AP and SCAS modes even when the MSP
or the FD processor in the FCC have failed.
All ARINC 429 serial data transmitted by the MSP has a source/destination identifier transmitted
as part of the data packet (bits 9 and 10 of the ARINC 429 word, with bit 10 being most significant).
The MSP in the Bell 430 is hard--wired in the harness to have an SDI code of 10, set by leaving ZI
on the MSP rear connector open and connecting ZH on the MSP rear connector to ground. The SDI
code can be verified from the ARINC 429 Input/Output Screen for the FD processor of the FCC by
monitoring the ARINC 429 information received from the MSP by the FCC (see sections 6.1.5.2.4,
6.4.6, and 7.9 for more information).
The MSP receives mode annunciation information from the FD processor of the FCC serially using
the ARINC 429 interface during normal mode. Mode annunciation information received is used by
the MSP to annunciate appropriate mode lights on the MSP front panel.

5.1.1.3 MSP Installation Mode

To enter the MSP installation mode, power off the MSP by pulling its circuit breaker. Then, reapply
power to the MSP while pressing the AP and SCAS buttons until all indications turn off.
NOTE
The FCC will engage/disengage AP or SCAS in response to these
button presses if the FCC is in normal mode. Turning the AP
MASTER off while using MSP diagnostic mode is suggested.
Backlighting intensity may be adjusted by pressing the CBT roll, left to increase, right to decrease.
Mode indication intensity may be adjusted by pressing CBT pitch, up to increase, down to decrease.
To save the settings in non--volatile RAM in the MSP, exit the installation mode by pressing and
holding AP and SCAS simultaneously.
Mode indication intensity should respond to covering and uncovering the photocell above and
midway between the APR and NAV buttons. These indications should still be visible when the
photocell is totally blocked from the ambient light.
5.1.1.4 MSP Diagnostic Mode
To enter MSP diagnostic mode, the MSP ARINC 429 outputs should be connected to the MSP
ARINC 429 inputs (the following pins on the MSP connector should be tied together : pin Z to pin
W and pin Y to pin X). Also, the SDI input pins on the MSP connector should be grounded (pins h
and i). While in this mode, pressing the AP and SCAS buttons simultaneously should cause all mode
annunciators on the MSP to be illuminated. A possible stuck button on the MSP front panel is
indicated by the IAS mode annunciator not being illuminated when the AP and SCAS buttons are
pressed together. A possible stuck cockpit switch read in by the MSP is indicated by the FD mode
annunciator not being illuminated when the AP and SCAS buttons are pressed together. Internal
failures in the MSP are indicated by other mode annunciators not being illuminated when the AP
and SCAS buttons are pressed together. Pressing the AP and SCAS buttons simultaneously again
will cause all mode annunciations to be turned off. Also, when in diagnostic mode, each mode button
on the MSP can be pressed individually to toggled the mode annunciation associated with it. To exit
MSP diagnostic mode, the connection between the MSP ARINC 429 output and MSP ARINC 429
input must be removed.
NOTE
Certain buttons are not available on the KMS 541 (i.e., IAS
button). But, the annunciator above the blank button on the KMS
541correspondingtowhereabuttonwouldbeonaKMS540(see
Figure 1--4 and Figure 1--5) will function similarly for the KMS 541.
For example, if a button on the KMS 541 front panel is possibly
stuck, the annunciator above the blank button on the KMS 541
corresponding to the IAS button on the KMS 540 will not be
illuminated when the AP and SCAS buttons are pressed at the
same time.

5.1.2 FCC FD PROCESSOR MODES OF OPERATION
The FD processor operates in the following three (3) modes:

A. Power--up
B. Normal
C. Diagnostic
5.1.2.1 FD Power--up Mode
The FD processor tests its CPU and memory. At the end of power--up tests, it requests the
configuration data from the maintenance processor. If valid, it is stored in FD--local non--volatile
memory and used for computations. If invalid, the data stored in the FD processors non--volatile
memory from previous operations is used if valid.
NOTE
If both sources of configuration data are invalid (internal to the FD
processor and from the configuration module), configuration
information is undefined. This situation can result in incorrect
operation of the FD processor. But, an error will be logged in the
FCC error log when the configuration information is undefined.
5.1.2.2 FD Normal Mode

The FD processor is ready to perform its normal tasks of performing flight director function. This
operation is described in detail in section 5.2.
5.1.2.3 FD Diagnostic Mode
If requested by the maintenance processor, the FD processor will enter diagnostic mode provided
that:
A. It is in Normal mode (power--up mode completed) and no mode is engaged
B. AP disconnect circuit breaker is pulled.
C. Cyclic FTR switch is pressed or the bench strap for the FD processor is active (see
section 6.3.1)
NOTE
If AP disconnect circuit breaker is pulled to enter diagnostic mode
is must be reset prior to servo amp tests.
On entering diagnostic mode, the FD processor turns off its outputs including ARINC 429
transmission. In this mode, the FD processor accepts commands from the maintenance processor
to set its outputs and report the state of its inputs.

CS:15546M00.IDU
BENDIX/KING
KFC 500
5.1.3 FCC AP PROCESSOR MODES OF OPERATION

The two AP processors operate in the following four (4) modes in synchronization (both processors
will be in the same mode at the same time):
A. Power--up
B. Pre--flight Test
C. Normal
D. Diagnostic
5.1.3.1 AP Power--up Mode
Each AP processor tests its CPU and memory. During this test, all failure annunciations to the IIDS
are commanded on. At the end of power--up tests, it requests the configuration data from the
maintenance processor. If valid, it is stored in AP--local non--volatile memory and used for
computations. If the data in the configuration module is invalid, the AP--local data from previous
operation is used if it is valid. Also, the checksum computed from the configuration information is
compared between the two AP processors. If the computed checksums do not match, engagement
of AP mode and SCAS mode will be prevented and an error will be logged in the FCC error log.
NOTE
If both sources of configuration data are invalid (internal to the AP
processor and from the configuration module), configuration
information is undefined. This situation will result in prevention of
AP mode and SCAS mode engagement. Also, an error will be
logged in the FCC error log when the configuration information is
undefined.
5.1.3.2 AP Pre--flight Test Mode

Pre--flight test mode is entered automatically after the power--up sequence. During the test all IIDS
indications are commanded off except for AP FAIL and SCAS FAIL. Pre--flight test may also be
entered by pressing the TEST button located on the pedestal near the upper right hand corner of
the MSP (this button is labeled AFCS GROUND TEST) if neither the AP or SCAS mode is engaged.
Preflight test consists of the following kinds of tests:
The strap code in the harness is verified.
The ability for each AP processor to independently disable all servos using the AP fail
discrete output is verified.
The ability of the high--side and low--side drivers to individually interrupt drive to the brake
solenoid of each linear actuator and each trim servo is verified.
The ability to command and control each servo amplifier is verified individually.
The midpoint voltage for each servo amplifier is verified for each of the three midpoint
voltage states (see section 7.2.1).
The servo command wrap around is continuously monitored for each servo to verify that
the digital to analog converter is producing the correct voltage for servo commands
generated.

CS:15546M00.IDU
BENDIX/KING
KFC 500
The interface with the KRG 333 is verified by asserting a test discrete to the KRG 333.
The KRG 333 is expected to set its rate and acceleration validity signals to an invalid state
and set its rate and acceleration outputs to values outside of their normal operating range.
This test verifies the reasonability of the KRG 333 power supplies and most of its circuitry
as well as the continuity of the signal paths from the KRG 333 output stages through the
harness to the FCC and the AP processors. This test does not exercise the acceleration
and rate sensors.
After removing the KRG 333 test discrete signals, the rate and acceleration validity
signals are expected to return to their valid state. The acceleration and rate signals are
expected to return to values consistent with an undisturbed KRG 333 which is reasonably
level (up to 0.5 gs of lateral acceleration is allowed, which corresponds to approximately
26 degrees from level)
At the end of the test, the visual and aural disconnect warnings are activated briefly.
NOTE
A linear actuator or trim servo is not commanded to move at any
time during preflight test unless the brake is engaged (when
testing for stall current as part of the brake test). Also, servo
currents are monitored throughout the test to prevent hardware
damage that could result from excessive power demands for a
shorted servo motor. AP mode and SCAS mode engagement can
be inhibited even if preflight test passes when the AP monitors
have failed as a part of AP Normal mode.
In the event of a detected failure during pre--flight test, the units where a failure was detected may
be retested up to two more times. If such a failure is detected during all three attempts, the unit under
test is considered to have failed. At the end of pre--flight test, if failures were detected affecting an
individual axis, one or two of the PITCH FAIL, ROLL FAIL, or YAW FAIL annunciations on the IIDS
will be on as appropriate to indicate which axis(axes) has(have) failed. At the end of pre--flight test,
if failures were detected affecting all three axes of operation, AP FAIL and/or SCAS FAIL
annunciations on the IIDS will be on as appropriate for failures preventing control of all axis in the
corresponding mode. If a failure was detected during preflight test, an error will be logged in the FCC
error log. The error log can be useful in determining why preflight test failed.
5.1.3.3 AP Normal Mode
The AP processors are ready to perform their task of controlled flight (AP mode or SCAS mode),
if other requirements are met (i.e., completion of pre--flight test without detection of a failure
preventing engagement of the requested mode in at least one axis). AP and SCAS mode operation
are described in detail in section 5.3.

CS:15546M00.IDU
BENDIX/KING
KFC 500
5.1.3.4 AP Diagnostic Mode
If requested by the maintenance processor, the AP processors will enter diagnostic mode provided
that:
A. They are in Normal mode (PFT completed, although not necessarily passed) and no
mode is engaged
B. Force trim circuit breaker is on
C. Cyclic FTR switch is pressed
D. AFCS disconnect switch is pressed, or AFCS DISC circuit breaker is pulled
NOTE
The AFCS DISC circuit breaker is pulled to enter diagnostic mode,
the circuit breaker should be reset after diagnostic mode is
entered to allow all functions to work. If the circuit breaker is not
reset servos cannot be engaged and tested when in diagnostic
mode.
On entering diagnostic mode, all outputs are initially turned off. Due to the set up in the aircraft
harness, this will cause the annunciators on the IIDS to be illuminated. In this mode, the AP
processors accept commands from the maintenance processor to set their outputs and report the
state of their inputs.
While in diagnostic mode, detected motion of the collective position will cause the AP processors
to leave diagnostic mode unless the AP and SCAS buttons on the MSP are simultaneously pressed
during the motion.
5.1.4 FCC MAINTENANCE PROCESSOR OPERATION
After its power--up operation, which is similar to that of the other processors, the maintenance
processor reads the data from the configuration module for transmission to the FD and AP
processors when requested.
In its Normal mode, it logs temperature statistical data and error codes reported by the other
processors. It provides the Remote Terminal Interface (RTI) for maintenance operations. Various
screens of menus and display data are available. These displays are described in greater detail
later in this manual.
When diagnostic mode engagement is requested via the RTI, the maintenance processor sends
a diagnostic mode request to the FD processor and the AP processors. Each processor is expected
to respond to the request with a denial or approval of the request. If a processor does not respond
within the allotted response time, the maintenance processor will display a message on the RTI that
the processor did not respond (this will always happen for FD B in the Bell 430 installation, since
there are not two FD processors in the FCC). But, the processors that responded will be allowed
to enter diagnostic mode in this instance as long as all responding processors responded with an
approval of the request. If any processor responds denying diagnostic mode engagement,
diagnostic mode engagement is not allowed and a failure screen will be displayed on the RTI (see
Figure 41).
When diagnostic mode is engaged, the maintenance processor provides the interface between the
FD processor and AP processors and the user using the RTI. The maintenance processor relays

CS:15546M00.IDU
BENDIX/KING
KFC 500
requests to the FD processor and AP processors for current input status and displays the
information on the RTI. The maintenance processor also relays requests to the FD processor and
AP processors to set outputs based on user input from the RTI.
5.1.5 MONITORS
During normal operation, the FD processor and AP processors will perform monitoring functions
to ensure proper performance. Failures detected by monitors will in most cases inhibit/disconnect
mode engagements either totally or on a partial basis. Error codes are reported to the maintenance
processor, which will log (store) these codes in non--volatile memory for maintenance access via
the RTI.
The operation of the monitors is dependent on the mode of operation. Reporting of certain error
codes is turned off when the aircraft is determined to be on the ground to minimize the number of
logged errors which may be due to the operation of other systems. Logging of errors by the
maintenance processor is limited in that only the first occurrence of a particular error is logged within
each power cycle.
A more detailed explanation of error codes that could be logged and possible failures detected is
provided as Appendix A. Appendix A also details the monitor that generated the error for the AP
monitoring error codes and lists which error codes, when logged, will disable AP mode or SCAS
mode engagement.
5.1.6 FORCE TRIM SYSTEM
The force trim system interacts with the FCC to provide two main functions in the aircraft:
A. Provides a force feel to the pilot when FORCE TRIM is activated by pressing the FORCE
TRIM switch on the upper portion of the pedestal.
B. Provides a reference position for the controls for coupled flight.
The force trim system is supplied by the aircraft and is monitored by the FCC to provide mode
disengagement when appropriate. The force trim system consists of a spring cartridge and an
engage clutch in each axis. The engage clutch is contained in the KSA 572 trim servo and 28 VDC
to the clutch engage solenoid locks the output shaft of the actuator. When the shaft locks, the pilot
is still able to move the control but the spring cartridge deflects providing a force feel to the pilot.
When 28 VDC is removed from the engage clutch solenoid, the actuator shaft is no longer locked
and movement of the control will freely move the shaft through the spring cartridge.
The operation of the force trim system is controlled via a series of switches. The states of these
switches are monitored by both the FD and AP processors and will affect the operation of the flight
director and autopilot functions as described in section 5.3.3. Refer to Figure 5--2 for a diagram
including the interface of the force trim system with the FCC.
Pulling the force trim circuit breaker or turning off force trim power removes the 28 VDC to the pitch,
roll and yaw KSA 572 engage clutches and allows the controls to move freely. Activating Cyclic FTR
will also do this in the pitch and roll axis, and activating Yaw FTR will do this in the yaw axis. Cyclic
FTR is activated by pressing the FTR button on the cyclic grip one half--way, deflecting it fully will
also activate Yaw FTR. Yaw FTR may also be activated via a switch on the collective control.
The pilot can override the servo control provided by the FCC when AP mode is engaged. When the
pilot controls are operated, the spring cartridge will cause the appropriate detent switch to be
engaged. When engagement of a detent switch occurs AP mode is temporarily disengaged and

CS:15546M00.IDU
BENDIX/KING
KFC 500
SCAS mode is engaged to allow the pilot control. When the detent switch is disengaged AP mode
will be reengaged. If a detent switch is active prior to AP engagement it will prevent the AP mode
from engaging.
5.1.7 INTERFACE TO SERVOS AND CONTROL POSITIONS
The FCC provides motor drive, LVDT excitation, servo power, and brake release solenoid control
for each of the primary (linear) servos in the system and receives LVDT position information. The
FCC provides motor drive, servo power, and brake release solenoid control for each of the trim
servos in the system. The FCC receives control position input information from four control position
synchro resolvers (one for pitch, roll, yaw, and collective control position) attached to the control
linkages.

5.2 FLIGHT DIRECTOR OPERATION

A flight director mode is selected by pressing the desired mode button on the MSP (i.e., press the
FD button for default horizontal and vertical modes) -- see section 1.6.2.3 MSP Buttons, for mode
buttons available on the MSP. Two vertical modes may also be selected by pressing the VS and
ALT SEL buttons on the KAV 485, or by dialing a new value for the Selected Altitude on the KAV
485 -- see section 1.6.7.3 KAV 485 Buttons and Knobs, for mode buttons available on the KAV 485).
NOTE
When no mode is engaged and any mode switch is pressed that
mode will be engaged (if mode engagement criteria is met -- i.e.,
all mode inputs valids). This will provide control in the axis for that
mode (i.e., vertical axis for altitude hold -- ALT button) and the
default mode in the other axis will be activated.
The flight director has horizontal and vertical steering command modes that generally operate
independently but in some cases interact. The different modes select different sensors to be used
to provide steering commands to the EFIS display and possibly the autopilot. A mode sequences
through the following stages:
A. Arm -- The sensors used for the mode are monitored to determine the proper time to begin
the maneuver to the new flight path.
B. Capture -- The FCC is providing commands to maneuvering the aircraft to the new flight
path.
C. Track -- The FCC is providing commands to maintain the desired flight path after it has
been acquired.

CS:15546M00.IDU
BENDIX/KING
KFC 500
In some instances, the sequencing to Track will appear instantaneous, since the FCC will be able
to acquire the desired flight path upon engagement of the mode. It is possible to be in two vertical
or horizontal modes simultaneously. While tracking in one mode, a second mode can be armed.
When the aircraft nears the flight path for the second mode, the first mode is disengaged and the
capture stage of the second mode is entered.
An FD mode (vertical or horizontal) is deselected by:
A. Pressing the appropriate button on the MSP or KAV 485 for the mode when the mode
is engaged.
B. Sequencing to another mode in the same axis through a normal transition (i.e.,
pressing another mode switch or transition from Arm to Capture of a previously
selected mode).
C. Pressing the FD Off switch on the cyclic control.
D. Reversion to default mode or disengagement due to the loss of a sensor, whether
caused by a failure or by pilot action.
E. Moving the position of the PIC switch.
F. Pressing cyclic FTR for the pilot not selected by the PIC switch.
FD mode annunciation information is transmitted on the FD processor ARINC 429 output channel.
This information is transmitted to the EFIS for mode annunciation display and to the MSP for mode
engagement acknowledgment. The FD processor transmits unique annunciation information to
differentiate between arm and capture phase for modes having a separate arm and capture phase
(i.e., NAV mode).

CS:15546M00.IDU
BENDIX/KING

5.2.1 HORIZONTAL FD MODES
5.2.1.1 Roll Attitude Hold Mode
This mode is the default horizontal mode. It is entered when the FD button on the MSP is pressed,
when a button on the MSP is pressed that only engages a vertical mode (i.e., ALT), or when the
button for the currently engaged horizontal mode is disengaged by pressing the button on the MSP
corresponding to that mode. The reference attitude is the roll attitude present when the mode is
initially engaged. Upon engagement, if roll attitude is less than 6 degrees, level attitude will be
commanded and a command to maintain the heading present when level attitude is attained will
be generated. During RAH mode, the FD processor will generate commands to maintain the
reference roll attitude or reference heading as appropriate.
5.2.1.2 Heading Select Mode
This mode is entered when the HDG button on the MSP is pressed. During HDG select mode, the
FD processor will generate commands to maintain the selected heading on the HSI. The maximum
roll attitude that will be commanded when in HDG select mode is limited by the BL selection (see
section 4.1.2.1 MSP Buttons, for more information on selecting the bank angle limit).
5.2.1.3 Navigation Mode
This mode is entered when the NAV button on the MSP is pressed. The navigational sensor to be
coupled to for NAV command computation is selected by the EFIS. Allowed NAV sensors are VOR,
LOC, or LNAV. If the FD processor is computing a command to Capture or Track a NAV sensor and
the selected sensor is changed on the EFIS, NAV mode will be disengaged and the FD processor
will revert to RAH. During NAV Track mode, the FD processor will generate commands to maintain
the course for the selected NAV sensor. The maximum roll attitude that will be commanded when
in NAV mode is limited by the BL selection (see section 4.1.2.1 MSP Buttons, for more information
on selecting the bank angle limit).
5.2.1.4 APPROACH MODE
This mode is similar to NAV mode mentioned in the previous paragraph, but is used for category
I command computations when approaching a runway for landing. It is entered when the APR
button on the MSP is pressed. The navigational sensor to be coupled to for APR command
computation is selected by the EFIS. Allowed APR sensors are VOR, LOC, or LNAV. If the FD
processor is computing a command to Capture or Track an APR sensor and the selected sensor
is changed on the EFIS, APR mode will be disengaged and the FD processor will revert to RAH.
During APR Track mode, the FD processor will generate commands to maintain the course for the
selected APR sensor. When aircraft heading is more than 105_ from the selected course heading
for the APR sensor selected, APR mode becomes back course mode, using inverted commands
to Capture or Track the selected course.

CS:15546M00.IDU
BENDIX/KING
KFC 500
5.2.2 VERTICAL FD MODES
5.2.2.1 Pitch Attitude Hold Mode
This mode is the default vertical mode. It is entered when the FD button on the MSP is pressed,
when a button on the MSP is pressed that only engages a horizontal mode (i.e., HDG), when the
button for the currently engaged vertical mode is disengaged by pressing the button on the MSP
or KAV 485 corresponding to that mode (except for Go Around Mode), or when the selected vertical
mode becomes invalid. The reference attitude is the pitch attitude present when the mode is initially
engaged. During PAH mode, the FD processor will generate commands to maintain the reference
pitch attitude.
5.2.2.2 Altitude Hold Mode
This mode is entered when the ALT button on the MSP is pressed or when the altitude selected on
the KAV 485 is attained when in altitude select mode. During ALT hold mode, the FD processor will
generate commands to maintain the altitude present on the KAV 485 when the mode is engaged.
NOTE
The selected altitude value may be changed while in ALT hold
mode without causing disengagement of the mode. But, another
vertical mode (i.e., vertical speed hold) will need to be established
to capture the newly armed selected altitude. Alt Hold mode also
uses vertical acceleration as a sensor. The AP has to be
operational as well as KRG 333 acceleration valid to obtain a valid
vertical acceleration.
5.2.2.3 Vertical Speed Hold Mode
This mode is entered when the VS button on the MSP is pressed or when the VS ENG button on
the KAV 485 is pressed. During VS hold mode, the FD processor will generate commands to
maintain the selected vertical speed on the KAV 485.
NOTE
The selected vertical speed value may be changed while in VS
Hold mode without causing disengagement of the mode. VS hold
mode also uses vertical acceleration as a sensor. The AP has to
be operational as well as KRG 333 acceleration valid to obtain a
valid vertical acceleration.
5.2.2.4 Indicated Airspeed Hold Mode
This mode is entered when the IAS button on the MSP is pressed. The reference airspeed is the
IAS present when the mode is initially engaged. During IAS hold mode, the FD processor will
generate commands to maintain the reference airspeed.

CS:15546M00.IDU
BENDIX/KING
KFC 500
5.2.2.5 Airspeed Limit Mode
This mode is entered automatically to prevent the aircraft from exceeding maximum operating
velocity (Vmo). This mode is engaged when IAS exceeds Vmo or IAS is predicted to exceed Vmo
within 5 seconds based on current IAS and rate of IAS change. During airspeed limit mode, the FD
processor will generate commands to cause the aircraft to pitch up, thus reducing airspeed. Once
the overspeed condition has been addressed, airspeed limit mode will disengage and the vertical
mode that was engaged before airspeed limit mode was engaged will be reengaged, unless a
failure was detected during airspeed limit mode that would cause loss of the previously engaged
mode (then PAH mode would be engaged).
5.2.2.6 Glideslope Mode
This mode is a vertical submode of the horizontal APR mode. Whenever the selected APR sensor
is LOC and the APR mode is not in back course mode, GS Arm will be engaged when APR mode
is coupled. Once the horizontal localizer course is being tracked in APR mode, GS capture will be
engaged. Glideslope capture may also become active if the system approaches a valid GS beam.
Upon GS capture, the system will command the aircraft to maneuver to follow the GS beam. When
the system is centered on the GS beam, it will transition from GS capture to GS track mode. When
in GS track mode, the FD processor will generate pitch commands to follow the GS beam to bring
the aircraft to proper altitude for landing. If the radar altitude input to the AP processors is valid, the
FD processor will generate an autolevel command to maintain an altitude of 50 feet when this
altitude is reached in GS mode.
NOTE
Radar Altitude is used to schedule gain on GS. If Radar Altitude
is invalid, a backup gain schedule will give reduced performance.
Vertical acceleration is required for GS mode. The AP has to be
operational and KRG 333 acceleration valid for GS mode.
5.2.2.7 Go Around Mode
This mode is entered when the Go Around switch is pressed. Unlike other modes, GA mode is not
disengaged when the Go Around switch is pressed and GA mode is engaged. Go Around mode
can only be disengaged by selecting another vertical mode or when the FD processor receives an
FD Off request from the MSP. During GA mode, the FD processor will generate commands to cause
the aircraft to enter a climb of 750 feet per minute.
NOTE
When GA mode is initially engaged as the vertical mode, wings
level is engaged as the horizontal mode. After GA mode has been
engaged, a different horizontal mode may be engaged, like
heading select mode, for lateral steering if desired.

5.2.3 FD MODES REFERENCE ADJUSTMENTS
5.2.3.1 Reference Adjustment Using Cyclic Beep Trim
The reference for certain FD modes may be changed using the CBT. Reference adjustment may
be performed with the CBT in one of two ways:
A. Discrete reference changes -- short, discrete clicks of the CBT will cause a discrete step
change in the reference
B. Slewing reference changes -- holding the CBT in a given direction will cause a continuous
change in the reference at a set rate while the CBT switch contact is maintained
Mode references can be adjusted when one of the following modes is engaged:
vertical -- Pitch Attitude Hold, Altitude Hold, IAS Hold, Vertical Speed Hold
horizontal -- Roll Attitude Hold, Heading Select
The reference may be adjusted only while the engaged mode is being tracked. When slewing the
pitch attitude reference in PAH, the reference will synchronize to the current aircraft pitch attitude
when the slewing is completed (CBT switch is released).
5.2.3.2 Reference Adjustment Using Force Trim Release
The cyclic FTR switch for the pilot selected with the PIC switch can be used to adjust the reference
for certain FD modes. When the cyclic FTR switch is pressed and then released, the reference for
any of the following modes, if engaged, will be synchronized to the current aircraft state (i.e., current
altitude if in ALT hold mode):
vertical -- Pitch Attitude Hold, Altitude Hold, IAS Hold, Vertical Speed Hold
horizontal -- Roll Attitude Hold
5.2.3.3 Detent Switches Effect on FD Mode Reference
The detent switches are not used for reference adjustment for any FD mode. Instead, they provide
a fly--through function for the pilot. When the spring cartridges in the control stick cause a detent
switch to be activated, control of the aircraft is returned to the pilot. When the detent switch is no
longer active, the FD commands generated (and displayed via the command bars) will provide
guidance to the previously selected flight path with no change to the reference caused from detent
switch activity.

5.2.4 FD MODE ENGAGEMENT/DISENGAGEMENT REQUIREMENTS
The following paragraphs summarize the inputs required to acquire or maintain the various FD
modes. See sections 6.4.6, 7.9, and 7.12 for details regarding the ARINC 429 information
presented.
Engagement of any FD mode will be inhibited or engaged modes will be disconnected if any of the
following conditions exist:
1. EFIS label 277 bit 25 (ADI valid) indicates ADI is invalid (bit is 0).
2. FD Off Input (label 271 bit 16 from the MSP) is active (bit is 1).
3. The FTR switch for the pilot not selected with the PIC switch is active.
4. EFIS label 324 (Pitch Attitude) is invalid, as indicated by its SSM.
5. EFIS label 325 (Roll Attitude) is invalid, as indicated by its SSM.
Table 5--1 and Table 5--2 indicate the inputs used for the flight director modes. Should one of the
required sensors for a vertical mode become invalid when that mode is engaged, the mode will
disengage and the default vertical mode (PAH) will be engaged if possible. Should one of the
required sensors for a horizontal mode become invalid when that mode is engaged, the mode will
disengage and the default horizontal mode (RAH) will be engaged if possible.

For vertical acceleration to be valid, the AP processor must receive valid pitch and roll
attitude from the KVG 350 and valid normal acceleration from the KRG 333.
Indicated airspeed must be reasonable (less than 200 knots) for engagement of this
mode.

5.3 AP AND SCAS OPERATION

Coupled flight modes are selected by pressing the desired mode button on the MSP (i.e., press the
AP button for AP mode and the SCAS button for SCAS mode) -- see section 4.1.2.1 MSP Buttons,
for mode buttons available on the MSP.
5.3.1 SCAS MODE
This mode will be engaged for any of the following reasons if SCAS mode is not inhibited:
A. SCAS button on the MSP is pressed and SCAS mode is not presently engaged.
NOTE
This information can be received by the AP processors in two
ways: (1) SCAS engage discrete input tied directly to the MSP
switch via the aircraft harness, (2) MSP switch information
received via ARINC 429 input to the FD processor and relayed to
the AP processor on the internal bus.
B. AP button on the MSP is pressed when AP mode is engaged.

C. AP mode is engaged and a failure causing AP mode to disengage occurs, but SCAS
engagement is not inhibited by the failure.
D. AP mode is engaged and certain force trim system operations are performed
(reengagement of AP will be automatic when the force trim system operation is
completed). For more details, see section 5.3.3.
In SCAS mode, the AP processors control the pitch, roll, and yaw primary (linear) servos to dampen
aircraft rates in the pitch, roll, and yaw axes when engaged. The control position synchro inputs are
used, when valid, to detect pilot input into the aircraft control system, allowing the aircraft orientation
to change with reduced damping authority. This is accomplished by monitoring the rate inputs from
the KRG 333 and commanding the primary servos to stabilize aircraft motion by maintaining desired
attitude command rates. Desired attitude command rates are attained by monitoring changes in
control positions with the control position synchro resolvers. This helps to stabilize aircraft response
to pilot control motion. Engagement of SCAS mode will be inhibited if information received from the
KRG 333 is invalid.
NOTE
Loss of control position synchro information will not result in
disengagement of SCAS mode. But, in this condition the AP
processors in the FCC will attempt to control the aircraft to
maintain attitude rates of zero. This will cause the FCC to oppose
any attempts by the pilot to change the aircraft attitude.

CS:15546M00.IDU
BENDIX/KING
KFC 500
SCAS mode will be disengaged/inhibited in all axes by the following conditions:

A. AP button on the MSP is pressed and AP mode engagement is not inhibited.
B. SCAS button on the MSP is pressed (disengages all coupled control modes).
C. The AFCS DISC switch on the cyclic control for either pilot is pressed.
D. A failure occurs that inhibits SCAS mode engagement in all axes. In this instance, the
SCAS FAIL annunciation on the IIDS will be turned on. These failures include loss of
validity from the KRG 333, internal failures in the FCC, and a failures affecting all three
primary servo axes.
SCAS mode will be disengaged/inhibited in an individual axis by the following conditions:
A. Hydraulic pressure (Primary Hydraulics) is not valid -- affects yaw axis only.
B. Primary servo actuator failure detected -- affects axis that has failed primary servo.
NOTE
If individual failures occur in the primary servo for all three axes,
this will cause SCAS mode to be disengaged in all axes.
Disengagement of SCAS mode in each axis would occur when a
failure was detected in the primary servo for that axis until the
failure in the third axis primary servo would result in
disengagement of SCAS mode altogether.
5.3.2 AP MODE
This mode is entered when the AP button on the MSP is pressed if AP mode is not inhibited.
NOTE
This information can be received by the AP processors in two
ways: (1) AP engage discrete input tied directly to the MSP switch
via the aircraft harness, B. MSP switch information received via
ARINC 429 input to the FD processor and relayed to the AP
processor on the internal bus.
In AP mode, the AP processors control the aircraft to a desired flight path in the pitch and roll axis.
If a FD mode is engaged, the commands received from the FD processor for the pitch axis (vertical
FD mode) and the roll axis (horizontal FD mode) will be used to determine the desired flight path
(within operational limits). If no FD mode is engaged or the system is configured as a SCAS/ATT
system, the AP processors will enter default AP attitude hold mode. In default AP attitude hold mode
the pitch attitude present when AP mode was engaged will be used as a reference and the AP
processors will command the aircraft to maintain the reference pitch attitude or to slew to a desired
pitch attitude with the CBT switch. In default AP attitude hold mode the AP processors will command
the aircraft to maintain a reference roll attitude or to slew to a desired roll attitude with the CBT
switch. When AP mode is engaged, the aircraft rolls to wings level and then reverts to heading hold
when level roll attitude is attained. The cyclic beep trim inputs can then be used to hold a specific
roll attitude if they are beeped beyond 6_ of roll attitude. Any amount less than the 6_ limit will result
in the aircraft rolling back to wings level and reverting to heading hold when the level roll attitude

CS:15546M00.IDU
BENDIX/KING
KFC 500
is attained once again. If IAS or TAS is valid, it can be used to schedule the gains when in default
AP attitude hold mode, thus providing a smoother transition to the reference attitudes at lower
airspeeds. Engagement of AP mode in the pitch and roll axis will be inhibited if information received
from the KRG 333 is invalid or information received from the KVG 350 is invalid.
In AP mode, if airspeed is valid and below 50 knots, the AP processors control the aircraft to
maintain the current heading or to slew to a desired heading with the YBT switch (reference heading
will change at a rate of 3_ per second when slewing). If airspeed is above 50 knots, the AP
processors control the aircraft to maintain a reference lateral acceleration. The reference lateral
acceleration is 0 G, but this value can also be slewed to a new value using the YBT switch.
Engagement of AP mode in the yaw axis will be inhibited if information received from the KRG 333
is invalid, information received from the KVG 350 is invalid, or hydraulic pressure is not valid.
In a SCAS/ATT system, airspeed scheduling of AP command gains is not performed. This is
because the system does not include an air data computer and air data information is not available.
AP mode will be disengaged/inhibited in all axes by the following conditions:
A. AP button on the MSP is pressed.
B. SCAS button on the MSP is pressed.
C. The AFCS DISC switch on the cyclic control for either pilot is pressed.
D. A failure occurs that inhibits AP mode engagement in all axes. In this instance, the AP
FAIL annunciation on the IIDS will be turned on. These failures include loss of validity
from the KRG 333, commanded attitude from the FD processor exceeding +20_/--15_ in
the pitch axis or 31_ in the roll axis (commanded attitude is current attitude plus the FD
command for an axis), internal failures in the FCC, loss of excitation to the KVG 350, a
simultaneous failure of all three primary servo axes, and a simultaneous failure of all three
trim servo axes.
E. Certain force trim system operations are performed, resulting in temporary engagement
of SCAS mode. AP mode will automatically be reengaged when the force trim system
operation is completed. For mode details, see section 5.3.3.
AP mode will be disengaged/inhibited in an individual axis by the following conditions:
A. Hydraulic pressure is not valid -- affects yaw axis only.
B. Primary servo actuator failure detected -- affects axis that has failed primary servo.
C. Trim servo actuator failure detected -- affects axis that has failed trim servo.
D. Rate input from the KRG 333 does not match attitude rate derived from the KVG 350 input
-- affects axis that has the rate miscomparison.
E. Rate or acceleration input from the KRG 333 exceeds control limits -- affects axis that has
the unusual rate or acceleration (i.e., normal acceleration failure would affect pitch axis
only).
F. Acceleration inputs from the KRG 333 invalid -- affects pitch and yaw axes only.

5.3.3 FORCE TRIM SYSTEM INTERACTION WITH AP MODE AND SCAS MODE
The force trim system is monitored by the AP processors. While any of the following conditions exist,
AP mode engagement will be inhibited. Also, if AP mode is engaged when any of the following
conditions occur, AP mode will be disengaged and SCAS mode will temporarily be engaged until
the condition is removed:
A. Force Trim Circuit Breaker not on (AP discrete input port 1, bit 13, set to 1).
B. Cyclic Force Trim Enable not on (AP discrete input port 2, bit 10, set to 1).
C. Cyclic Force Trim Release button pressed (AP discrete input port 2, bit 13, set to 1).
D. Yaw Force Trim Release button pressed (AP discrete input port 2 bit 14, set to 1).
E. Spring cartridge deflection causes a detent switch to be active (registered as Cyclic FTR
for pitch or roll detent and Yaw FTR for yaw detent)
5.3.4 AUTOTRIM IN AP MODE
Autotrim occurs in AP mode in an axis when the primary servo is deflected more than 40 % (pitch
and roll axis) or 25 % (yaw axis) of its control authority. The trim servo is turned on and driven in
the direction of the primary servo deflection. Motion of the control system as sensed through the
control position resolver is used to command the primary servo to oppose the motion caused by
the trim servo. A failure of the control position resolver will not prevent AP engagement or autotrim
but will degrade system performance. When a condition requiring autotrim exists continuously for
more than 10 seconds, the AUTOTRIM FAIL annunciation will be turned on.
5.3.5 ANNUNCIATION OF AP MODE AND SCAS MODE ENGAGEMENT
When AP mode or SCAS mode is engaged, the AP processors will send out a discrete AP ON and
SCAS ON annunciation signal, causing the AP ON or SCAS ON annunciation on the IIDS to be
turned on. In a SCAS/ATT system, this is the only indication to the pilot of engagement of these
modes (although the annunciator above the button corresponding to the engaged mode on the KMS
541 should also be illuminated, this should not be used to verify mode engagement). Also when AP
mode or SCAS mode is engaged, the AP processors will transmit mode engagement information
to the FD processor. The FD processor transmits this information to the MSP on the ARINC 429
bus for annunciation of the mode engagement on the MSP front panel. This annunciation can be
used as a secondary indication of mode engagement.

CS:15546M00.IDU
BENDIX/KING
KFC 500
5.3.6 ANNUNCIATION OF AP MODE AND SCAS MODE FAILURES
Engagement of AP mode requires at least one operational control axis (no failures that would affect
AP mode control in an axis -- see section 5.3.2 AP Mode). When AP mode engagement is inhibited
by failures affecting all three axes of operation, the AP FAIL annunciation on the IIDS will be turned
on.
Engagement of SCAS mode requires at least one operational control axis (no failures that would
affect SCAS mode control in an axis -- see section 5.3.1 SCAS Mode). When SCAS mode
engagement is inhibited by failures affecting all three axes of operation, the SCAS FAIL
annunciation on the IIDS will be turned on.
When AP or SCAS mode is engaged and there is a failure that prevents control in an axis, the failure
annunciation corresponding to the failed axis will be annunciated when the mode is engaged. For
pitch axis failures, the PITCH FAIL annunciation on the IIDS will be turned on. For roll axis failures,
the ROLL FAIL annunciation on the IIDS will be turned on. For yaw axis failures, the YAW FAIL
annunciation on the IIDS will be turned on.
5.3.7 CLEARING AP AND SCAS MODE FAILURES
If a failure occurs in a sensor that prevents AP or SCAS mode operation in an axis, engagement
of the affected mode is inhibited for the axis(axes) affected. If the sensor information becomes valid
after the failure has occurred, engagement of the previously affected mode in the axis(axes)
affected will be allowed. If a failure occurs in a servo that prevents AP or SCAS mode operation in
an axis, engagement of the affected mode is inhibited for the axis(axes) affected. Reengagement
of the affected mode will be inhibited for the affected axis(axes) until a successful pre--flight test by
the AP processors has been completed.

SECTION VI
REMOTE TERMINAL INTERFACE
6. GENERAL
The FCC provides an RS232 interface for diagnostic and installation capabilities. This interface
should be used for setting up installation parameters for any new installation or when a control
position synchro or linear actuator is replaced in the system. The RS232 interface is provided at
the Ground Maintenance Connector at the cockpit center pedestal. Pin 25 of this connector
provides transmitted data from the FCC, pin 26 is ground, and pin 27 is the receive data input for
the FCC from a terminal.
The terminal should have the following configuration options:
A. 9600 bits per second, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity bits
B. VT--100 terminal emulation
C. XON/XOFF protocol is used
6.1 NAVIGATING THE REMOTE TERMINAL INTERFACE SCREENS

This discussion assumes that a properly configured terminal is connected to the RTI. If there are
problems getting any screen to appear on the terminal, refer to section 6.2 Problems Accessing the

6.1.5 DIAGNOSTIC MODE SCREENS
In order to enter diagnostic mode, sufficient time must be allowed for the preflight test sequence
to finish, successfully or otherwise. Successful completion of PFT is indicated by the extinguishing
of the AP FAIL light on the IIDS. Unsuccessful completion of PFT will require longer than a
successful completion since the preflight test sequence may be reattempted in the event of an error.
Diagnostic mode is inhibited for the FD processor if FD mode is engaged and for the AP processors
if AP mode or SCAS mode is engaged. Pressing D while the Normal Mode Main Menu is displayed
will bring up the diagnostic mode confirmation message on the terminal (see Figure 6--7). At this
point, the user should type in KCP520 (upper or lower case) without pressing the ENTER key.
Then, to enter diagnostic mode, the Force Trim Release and AP Disconnect switches on the pilot
control stick should be depressed and held and the ENTER key should be pressed. If successful,
the screen shown in Figure 6--8 should be displayed (since the Bell 430 installation does not include
a second FD processor, this message is normal). If this screen does not appear, refer to section
6.3 Problems Entering Diagnostic Mode for more information. At this point, any key can be pressed
to display the Diagnostic Mode Main Menu screen, as shown in Figure 6--9.
NOTE
Pressing the ENTER key at the Diagnostic Mode Main Menu
screen will cause diagnostic mode to be exited. Also, if sensed
collective position changes too much (25 % of travel from stop to
stop on collective position resolver) when in diagnostic mode,
diagnostic mode will be exited. Sensed collective position change
can also be caused by loss of excitation power to the collective
position resolver or collective position detection circuitry missing.
The AP and SCAS buttons on the MSP should be depressed
when changing collective position to remain in diagnostic mode.
When diagnostic mode is exited in the AP processors, normal
mode will be entered and the pre--flight test sequence will be
initiated.

6.1.5.2.2 Discrete Input/Output Screen

After pressing D when the Manual Test Selection screen is displayed and selecting the
processor(s) to test the discrete inputs and outputs, a Discrete Input/Output screen will be displayed
for the desired processor(s). Figure 6--15 shows a sample AP processor discrete input/output
screen, which is explained in the following two paragraphs. Figure 6--16 shows a sample FD
processor discrete input/output screen, which is navigated similarly to the AP processor screen, as
described in the following two paragraphs. This screen shows the current values being output to
the discrete output ports for the selected processor(s), which can be changed by the user. It also
displays the current states for all the discrete inputs to the selected processor(s), with a zero
indicating a cleared state and a one indicating a set state. Pressing A switches to the Analog
Input/Output screen for the desired processor directly (see section 6.1.5.2.3 for details on this
screen). Pressing ENTER returns the user to the Manual Test Selection screen.
The left side of the discrete input/output screen displays information about the discrete outputs.
There is one line for each discrete output port. Each line indicates the port identifier (number or
letter) followed by the current value (in hexadecimal) being output to that port. Pressing S moves
the > symbol to indicate which output port is selected for modification. Pressing C or W causes
a predefined output sequence to be output to the selected port. Each time one of these keys is
pressed, the next value in the sequence is output to the port. The C key cycles the output value
through the values of 0000, 5555, AAAA, and FFFF (all hexadecimal). The W key performs a
walking one bit through the output value (all bits 0, then a 1 bit is placed in the least significant
bit and shifted through one bit at a time to the most significant bit each time the key is pressed), then
performs a walking zero bit through the output value (all bits 1, then a 0 bit is placed in the least
significant bit and shifted through one bit at a time to the most significant bit each time the key is
pressed). Pressing V allows the user to enter a hexadecimal value to be output to the selected
output port (can be up to 4 hexadecimal digits long), which will be output once the ENTER key is
pressed.
The right side of the discrete input/output screen displays information about the discrete inputs.
There is one line for each input port for all processors selected. Each line indicates the processor
(AP A or AP B for AP processors) and input port being monitored, followed by the input value read
in hexadecimal and then in binary. In the binary display of port input information, the most significant
bit (bit 15) is displayed on the far left and the least significant bit (bit 0) is displayed on the far right.
For port A, which only has four input bits, the binary value is displayed in the far right to indicate the
four bits of input on that port.

6.1.5.2.3 Analog Input/Output Screen

Pressing A when the Manual Test Selection screen is displayed will cause the AP Processor
Analog Input/Output screen, similar to Figure 6--17, to be displayed. This screen shows the current
values being output to the AP processor analog outputs, which can be changed by the user. It also
displays the current values for the selected AP processor analog inputs, which can be changed by
the user. Pressing ENTER when this screen is displayed returns the user to the Manual Test
Selection screen.
The left side of the analog input/output screen displays information about the analog outputs. This
section is divided into two main columns, each holding eight output values, with each main column
divided into two sub--columns. The first sub--column in each column is the analog output number
(0 to 15). The second sub--column is the current output value for that output, in the range of --1 to
+ 1. Pressing the arrow keys when this screen is displayed moves the > symbol to indicate which
output is selected for modification. Pressing V allows the user to enter a new value for the selected

output, which will be output once the ENTER key is pressed. The output value entered has a range
of --1 to +1, corresponding to an output voltage of --10 VDC to +10 VDC (i.e., if an output voltage
of +3.25 VDC is desired, a value of 0.325 should be entered).
Eight analog input values are displayed on the right side of the analog input/output screen at any
one time. The legend above the group of columns for analog inputs indicates which AP processor
input is being displayed and which MUX is being monitored. Pressing P will change the AP
processor selection (i.e., if inputs from AP A are being displayed, the inputs from AP B will be
displayed when P is pressed). The first column in the input section of the screen indicates the
number of the MUX channel input being displayed. The value directly to the right of the channel
number is the raw data input (in hexadecimal). A raw data input value of 000 indicates the input is
at --10 VDC, 800 indicates the input is at 0 VDC, and FFF indicates the input is at +10 VDC. The
last column in the input section of the screen displays the converted input value. This value will
either be the raw input voltage for the input or the input value as scaled by the AP processor (in
Figure 6--17, the scaled input value is being displayed and the value for MUX 0 input 1 has been
converted to 0 amps). Display of analog input values can be toggled between the raw input voltage
display and the scaled input value display by pressing T. To select a particular MUX to monitor,
the number key corresponding to the MUX should be pressed (i.e., to select MUX 3, press the 3
key). There are 6 input multiplexers numbered from 0 through 5. Each MUX has sixteen (16) analog
inputs, displayed on the screen by one--half of the inputs at a time (inputs 0 to 7 or inputs 8 to 15).
To switch between which half of the MUX inputs are being displayed for a particular MUX, the
number key for the MUX should be pressed again (i.e., if the display is showing inputs 8 to 15 for
MUX 4, pressing the 4 key will cause the screen to display inputs 0 to 7 for MUX 4).

After pressing 4 when the Manual Test Selection screen is displayed and selecting the
processor(s) to test the ARINC 429 inputs and outputs, an ARINC 429 Input/Output screen will be
displayed for the desired processor(s). Figure 6--18 shows a sample FD processor ARINC 429
input/output screen, which is explained in the following two paragraphs. Figure 6--19 shows a

CS:15546M00.IDU
BENDIX/KING
KFC 500
sample AP processor ARINC 429 input/output screen, which is navigated similarly to the FD
processor screen, as described in the following paragraph. This screen shows the current values
being output to the ARINC 429 outputs for the selected processor(s), which can be changed by the
user. It also displays which ARINC 429 input information for one received label, which can be
changed by the user, per ARINC 429 input channel. Pressing ENTER when this screen is
displayed returns the user to the Manual Test Selection screen.
The left side of the ARINC 429 input/output screen displays information about the ARINC 429
outputs and the ARINC 429 wraparound that is internal to the FCC. The top half of the left side
displays information about the ARINC 429 outputs from the FCC. There is one line for each output
channel for all the ARINC 429 chips available (for the FD processor, there are two ARINC 429 chips,
labeled as ASIC 0 and ASIC 1), with one output channel per chip. Each line indicates the chip
number (ASIC 0 or ASIC 1) followed by raw data being output on that channel for the last label for
which information was entered. The ARINC 429 wraparound information and output baud rate
section is located underneath the output information section. It indicates which output channels are
currently enabled for loopback of output information to all input channels on the same ARINC 429
chip, and whether the selected baud rate is HI or LO (HI is 100 kilohertz, LO is 12.5 kilohertz).
Pressing S moves the > next to the output list to select the desired output channel to change
output information. Once the desired output channel is indicated with the >, pressing V will allow
the user to enter a hexadecimal value to be continuously output on the selected output. This value
will have the label information encoded in it. The C key cycles the output value through the values
of 000000, 555555, AAAAAA, and FFFFFF (all hexadecimal). The W key performs a walking one
bit through the output value (all bits 0, then a 1 bit is placed in the least significant bit and shifted
through one bit at a time to the most significant bit each time the key is pressed, the performs a
walking zero bit through the output value (all bits 1, then a 0 is placed in the least significant bit
and shifted through one bit at a time to the most significant bit each time the key is pressed).
Pressing E toggles the wraparound enable for the selected output from enabled to disabled.
Pressing B toggles the baud rate for the selected output from LO to HI.
The right side of the ARINC 429 input/output screen displays information about the ARINC 429
inputs to the FCC. The legend at the top of the inputs section indicates which processor inputs are
being displayed. For each processor, there is one line for each input channel for all the ARINC 429
chips available (for the FD processor, there are two ARINC 429 chips, labeled as ASIC 0 and ASIC
1), with four input channels per chip. Each line indicates the chip number (ASIC 0 or ASIC 1), then
the channel number designated with a ch, followed by the raw input value for the channel in
hexadecimal. If there is no information received on an input channel, the value is indicated as
------------. If no new information is received from a channel within one second, the displayed value
is preceded by a * to indicate the data displayed is not fresh. Pressing I moves the > next to
the input list to select the desired input channel to monitor a certain label on. Once the desired input
channel is indicated with the >, pressing L will allow the user to enter the label to be monitored
for that channel. The label should be entered as a 3--digit octal number with leading 0s if necessary
(i.e., enter 053 if label 53 is desired) followed by pressing the ENTER key to start reception of the
requested label only. If monitoring of all labels received on a channel is desired, the channel should
be selected (using I) and then pressing M will toggle between label match (receiving only the label
entered in) and no label match, with label match indicated by an m following the channel number
on the display.

Interpretation of the ARINC 429 information

Figure 6--18 shows the result of setting up the ARINC 429 input/output for the FD processor to have
label match on all used inputs enabled and an output value on ASIC 0 of 600AA87D (hexadecimal).
The label match has been set up to receive label 270 from the MSP on ASIC 1 channel 0, label 300
from an EFIS on ASIC 1 channel 1, label 100 from a secondary EFIS on ASIC 1 channel 2, and label
210 from the air data system on ASIC 1 channel 3. The value of 600AA87D output on ASIC 0 was
entered by pressing V, then entering 600AA87D, and pressing the ENTER key. Since the output
from ASIC 0 goes to the MSP, this would transmit label 276 to the MSP. Since none of the inputs
from ASIC 0 are used in the Bell 430 installation, this is indicated by the *------------ value for each
input.

Figure 6--19 shows the result of setting up the ARINC 429 input/output for the AP processors. AP
A processor ASIC 0 channel 2 was set up for label match to receive label 204 from the air data
system. AP B processor ASIC 0 channel 2 was set up for label match to receive label 207 from the
air data system.
General interpretation of ARINC 429 information displayed in hexadecimal form can be found in
Table 6--1, Table 6--2, and Table 6--3. Information for a hexadecimal ARINC 429 word can be
interpreted using the information in Table 6--1. Bits 30 and 31 of the ARINC 429 word make up the
Sign Status Matrix (SSM), which can be interpreted using Table 6--2. Conversion of any
Hexadecimal digit to its binary equivalent can be accomplished using Table 6--3.

6.1.5.5 Other Aids in Troubleshooting Failures
The Logged Data Screens detailed in section 6.1.4, Logged Data Screens, can be accessed directly
from the Diagnostic Mode Main Menu screen by pressing the L key as they are accessed from the
Normal Mode Main Menu screen.
When the Logged Data Main Menu screen is displayed, the F key can be pressed to allow file
capture of logged error data information to a file if requested, using a similar interface with the
terminal emulation software as described in section 6.1.5.4, Diagnostic Information Screens. The
F key can also be used for capturing the history log and Time and Temperature log as well. Section
6.1.4 contains a more detailed description of how to capture the logged error data information to
a file. The history log and Time and Temperature log can be captured to a file in a similar manner.
6.2 PROBLEMS ACCESSING THE REMOTE TERMINAL INTERFACE SCREENS

If the RTI screen cannot be obtained by pressing the ENTER key, check the terminal connections
and that the terminal is configured for VT100 emulation, 9600 bits per second, 8 bits per word, 1
stop bit, no parity, and flow control set for Xon/Xoff. Verify that the computer connected as the
terminal has the proper Comm Port selected and that it is set up for RS 232 communication. To reset
communications, the Ctrl key and W can be pressed simultaneously. Resetting communication
should cause the terminal screen to be cleared and redrawn.
Power to the maintenance processor can be verified at the FCC diagnostic connector. Refer to the
description of the diagnostic connector in section 7.1.
6.3 PROBLEMS ENTERING DIAGNOSTIC MODE

When attempting to enter diagnostic mode, an error screen similar to Figure 6--29 may be displayed
if set up conditions for diagnostic mode are not met. Figure 6--29 shows all processors inhibited from
entering diagnostic mode. It is possible for some processors to enter diagnostic mode and not
others. But, the maintenance processor will not sequence to any diagnostic mode menu screens
if it detects that any processor has been inhibited from entering diagnostic mode. If diagnostic mode
entry is unsuccessful, the user can verify that all conditions are being met for successful entry into
diagnostic mode in section 6.1.5, Diagnostic Mode Screens, and try again.
The following processors did not enter diagnostic mode:
AP A
AP B
FD A
The following conditions are required to enter diagnostic mode:
all modes off
and
Force trim circuit breaker on

Cyclic force trim release pressed
AFCS disconnect switch circuit breaker pulled (autopilot only)
or

6.3.1 DIAGNOSTIC MODE FOR FD PROCESSOR WITH AP PROCESSOR LOCK

OUT
The FD processor can be made to go into diagnostic mode by itself when there is no power to the
AP processors. In this instance, the maintenance processor will not receive any information from
the AP processors on the internal bus and allow the FD processor to go into diagnostic mode alone.
The FD processor monitors the switch information received from the MSP, so the Force Trim
Release and AP Disconnect switches must still be depressed when entering diagnostic mode.
The FD processor can enter diagnostic mode without pressing the Force Trim Release and AP
Disconnect switches if the bench strap for the FD processor is active. This can be accomplished
by connecting pins 32 and 23 on the diagnostic connector under the cover plate on the front of the
FCC. When diagnostic mode is entered in this manner, executing the automated test of the
configuration module will perform an 80 second test on the interface between the FCC and the
configuration module. Interruption of this test will corrupt the data stored in the configuration
module, thus requiring installation to be performed again to restore configuration module
information. See section 6.1.5.3 for more information on the installation screens.
When the AP processors are locked out of diagnostic mode (i.e., no power to AP processors), the
signal voltages listed in Table 6--4 may be monitored for correctness. Due to switch interconnects
in the harness, the first two items in Table 6--4 should be verified in the order listed.

6.4.6 ARINC 429 INPUTS/OUTPUTS

Each AP processor has the capability of receiving ARINC 429 information from four different
sources, since the AP processors have one ARINC 429 chip with four receivers. Only one of these
channels is used in the Bell 430 installation. Channel 2 of the AP Processor ARINC 429 ASIC is
used to receive air data information from the air data computer. Each AP processor has the
capability of transmitting ARINC 429 information on one output channel available on the ARINC 429
chip, but the output is not used in the Bell 430 installation.
NOTE
Only the ARINC 429 transmit channel from AP B is actually
available at the unit connector.
The FD processor has the capability of receiving ARINC 429 information from eight different
sources, since the FD processor has two ARINC 429 chips with four receivers each. The two ARINC

CS:15546M00.IDU
BENDIX/KING
KFC 500
429 chips for the FD processor are labeled as ASIC 0 and ASIC 1. The four inputs channels from
ASIC 0 are not used in the Bell 430 installation. All four input channels of ASIC 1 can be used with
the Bell 430 as follows:
A. Channel 0 is connected to the MSP bus to receive mode request information from the
MSP.
B. Channel 1 is connected to the pilot side EFIS bus to receive heading/navigation source
information in a FD/SCAS/AP system (it is not used in a SCAS/ATT system).
C. Channel 2 is connected to the co--pilot side EFIS bus to receive heading/navigation
source information in a FD/SCAS/AP system with 4--tube EFIS (it is not used in a
FD/SCAS/AP system with 2--tube EFIS or in a SCAS/ATT system).
D. Channel 3 is connected to the air data bus to receive air data information in a
FD/SCAS/AP system (it is not used in a SCAS/ATT system).
The FD processor has the capability of transmitting ARINC 429 information on two output channels,
one per ARINC 429 chip. The output channel on ASIC 1 is not used in the Bell 430 installation. The
output channel on ASIC 0 is used to transmit mode acknowledgment information to the MSP and
mode engagement/command bar information to the EFIS (if available). Even though the
information is transmitted from one ARINC 429 transmit channel, it is buffered to two separate
outputs for transmission to the MSP and EFIS.
6.5 SYSTEM CONFIGURATION USING THE REMOTE TERMINAL INTERFACE

The RTI should be used for setting up installation parameters for any new installation or when a
control position synchro or linear actuator is replaced in the system. Before installation configuration
can be performed, the following set--up steps should be taken:
A. The EFIS or mechanical instruments for displaying mode engagement and command bar
information should be installed, tested, and configured properly for the autopilot.
B. The harness installation should be checked and verified.
C. FCC should be powered.
D. Force Trim System should be powered.
Once these steps have been completed, the user should be able to use the RTI to enter installation
mode for the AP processor as described in section 6.1.5.3.2 AP Processor Installation Screens. The
AP Processor installation screen should be used to install/update the LVDT position limits for the
primary servos and control position limits and can be used to adjust audio volume and frequency.
Once the installation information has been updated, it should be saved.
NOTE
Installation information is stored in non--volatile storage in the
configuration module. Therefore, installation only needs to be
performed when a linear actuator or a control position resolver is
replaced in the system.

SECTION VII
MAINTENANCE
7. TROUBLESHOOTING THE KFC 500 IN THE FLIGHT--LINE ENVIRONMENT

The Remote Terminal Interface is an important resource for troubleshooting problems involving the
KFC 500 system. To access information supplied by the Remote Terminal Interface, the RTI may
be connected to the Bell supplied cockpit diagnostic connector or directly to the 37 pin D connector
on the front of the KCP 520 FCC. A description of the problem as viewed from the cockpit together
with the logged errors accessible via the RTI will help to narrow the focus. The time that the problem
occurred should be correlated with the power cycle time in the error log. A more detailed description
of the error codes is contained in APPENDIX A. Some system faults can lead to multiple error codes
being logged. In these instances, usually the first error logged is the most significant. It should also
be kept in mind that only the first occurrence of an error code is logged within a power cycle. Also,
logging of certain error codes can be disabled when the aircraft is determined to be on the ground
(radar altitude less than 15 feet and valid, IAS less than 50 knots and valid) to reduce logging of
errors when performing ground checks on the system and errors generated during the power up
sequence of the FCC.
The following sections describe the required inputs for flight director operation and for flight control
operation. Descriptions are then given for various interfaces to the KFC 500 system as seen through
the RTI in diagnostic mode (see section 6.1.5, Diagnostic Mode Screens, and its sub--sections for
more information on accessing diagnostic mode). These descriptions assume that all equipment
is connected properly, powered, and operating normally. Use of this information, wiring harness
diagrams, and a multimeter should allow diagnosis of most system problems. Throughout this
discussion, a familiarity with the maintenance environment and ability to perform required actions
as appropriate (i.e., connecting a hydraulic mule) is assumed. Nominal values presented here are
for reference only, actual values may be slightly different.

7.1 THE MAINTENANCE CONNECTOR

External power to the FCC and the operation of power supplies internal to the FCC can be verified
by measuring at the 37--pin D connector under the plate on the front of the FCC. Measurements
are made with respect to pin 23, which is an internal ground reference. A list of pins containing useful
signal information is in Table 7--1. The voltages listed as 28 VDC in the table are derived from the
power to the FCC from the circuit breaker, which is limited to 32 VDC. Absence of voltage at a 28
VDC pin can be due to lack of power to the FCC or a failure of the voltage limiting circuit.

7.2 SERVO AXIS CONTROL

Most software monitoring is turned off while in diagnostic mode. But, two monitors do remain active.
The first monitor senses servo actuator current, and will turn off the servo amplifier if servo current
is excessive for 60 seconds. This monitor is intended to protect the actuator. The second monitor
compares the midpoint voltage sensed from the H--bridge in the servo amp to an expected value
based on the servo commands. If sensed midpoint voltage and expected midpoint voltage do not
agree for one second, the servo amplifier will be turned off. The midpoint voltage can be affected
by a servo drive line fault to ground, but is also affected by pressing the AP Disconnect switch. If
one of these monitors is tripped, an error code will be stored in the error log if it is the first occurrence
of the error during the power cycle. The monitor shutdown of the servo amplifiers may be removed
by exiting the AP Processor Analog Input/Output screen or AP Processor Discrete Input/Output
screen and then reentering the screen.

CS:15546S00.IDU
BENDIX/KING
KFC 500
Setting output port A, bit 0, for the AP processors to a value of 0 will inhibit normal operation of the
servos. Also, normal operation of the lo side brake and enable of the servo amplifier will be inhibited
when the AFCS Disconnect switch is pressed. This condition will cause the midpoint voltage
monitor described in the previous paragraph to trip.
NOTE
To prevent nuisance monitor failures from occurring when in
diagnostic mode, it is recommended that any changes to discrete
outputs be done on both AP processors simultaneously (press A
at the Processor Selection Screen to select both AP processors).
7.2.1 PRIMARY SERVO AXIS INTERFACES
The input/output ports associated with the primary servos are summarized in Table 7--2 for easy
reference. Setting the Servo Amplifier Power bit to 1 turns on the servo amplifier. When the servo
amplifier is powered, the LVDT Sense value should increase to above 0.5 VDC, thus verifying that
the excitation voltage is present at the servo actuator LVDT primary and the LVDT secondary is
connected back to the servo amplifier. The LVDT excitation signal is a nominal 1.7 VRMS at 3.5
kilohertz referenced to approximately of the 28 VDC supply. The LVDT excitation signal can be
measured between pins M and N of the servo actuator connector.
If the Servo Amplifier Power bit is 0, the Midpoint Voltage value for the servo should be near 0 volts.
When the Servo Amplifier Power bit is 1, the Midpoint Voltage value for the servo should be at one
of the following levels:
(1) Approximately the value of the aircraft 28 VDC power (AP processor analog input MUX
2 channel 1) if the Brake Solenoid Lo--Side is not turned on. In this case, the motor drive
lines measurable at pins A and B of the servo actuator connector should correspond to
the 28 VDC supply power reading with respect to aircraft ground.
(2) Approximately the value of the aircraft 28 VDC power (AP processor analog input MUX
2 channel 1) if the Brake Solenoid Lo--Side is turned on. In this case, the motor drive lines
measurable at pins A and B of the servo actuator connector should vary between ground
and the 28 VDC supply power reading with respect to aircraft ground depending on the
drive condition. Servo drive condition is determined by the command and position signals
to the servo amplifier.
The Brake Solenoid Lo--Side also activates the drive on the ground side of the servo actuator brake
solenoid. The Brake Solenoid Hi--Side activates the supply side of the actuator brake solenoid.
When the Brake Solenoid Hi--Side is turned on, the supply side of the actuator brake solenoid will
have the 28 VDC supply power applied to it. When the Brake Solenoid Lo--Side and Brake Solenoid
Hi--Side are both turned on and the current path through the brake solenoid is complete, the Brake
Current Monitor Bit will become a 1. When the Brake Solenoid Lo--Side and Brake Solenoid
Hi--Side are both turned off, the voltage measured at the Lo and Hi side Brake output pins will be
approximately of the 28 VDC aircraft supply voltage when the servo is connected in the harness.
Any value entered for the Position Command Output Channel for a servo (in the range of --1 to +1
on the AP processor analog input/output screen) should be reflected on the Command Monitor input
channel listed in the table. The value reflected on the input should be 10 times the value entered
for the output (i.e., an output value of --0.25 should be reflected on the input as -- 2.5 volts when
looking at raw data). If the Servo Amplifier Power is turned on and the Brake Solenoid Lo--Side and

CS:15546S00.IDU
BENDIX/KING
KFC 500
Brake Solenoid Hi--Side are on, the LVDT Position value in volts should be approximately the same
as the value seen at the Command Monitor input when the servo is commanded to a position
between its mechanical stops. The range of values between a mechanical stop for a servo is from
+5.75 VDC (nominal) for the retracted stop of the servo and the value indicated in the table for the
extended stop of the servo. If the servo is commanded to a position outside of its mechanical stop
range, the servo should reach a mechanical stop and the magnitude of Servo Voltage and Servo
Current values should increase due to the error difference between commanded position for the
servo and actual LVDT position. A similar error can occur when commanding within the mechanical
stop range if the Brake Solenoid Hi--Side is off.
NOTE
For more information on navigating the AP Processor Discrete
Input/Output screen, see section 6.1.5.2.2. For more information
on navigating the AP Processor Analog Input/Output screen, see
section 6.1.5.2.3.
Nominal motor stall current with 25 VDC of servo amplifier drive voltage is 1.2 amps.
Figure 7--1 shows a portion of the AP Processor Discrete Input/Output screen with the Pitch Servo
Amplifier powered and the Brake Solenoid Lo--Side and Brake Solenoid Hi--Side on to release the
brake. The Brake Current Monitor bit has been bolded in the figure for ease of reference. Figure
7--2 shows a portion of the AP Processor Analog Input/Output screen with the pitch primary servo
activated and the position commanded beyond the retracted stop, thus causing an error voltage to
be produced on input channel 0 and an error current to be produced on input channel 1. Figure 7--3
shows the same screen after T was pressed. Note that the commanded position value in channel
4 is larger than the LVDT position value in channel 3 since that command is beyond the stop range.
NOTE
If the primary servos have been pre--positioned for aircraft control
rigging purposes, then the rigging should be completed before any
testing which disturbs this positioning is performed. Also, it is
recommended that the primary servos be repositioned to the
center values shown in Table 7--2 after testing is completed.
Before depowering the servo channel and re--engaging the servo
brake, select the appropriate Position Command Output Channel
and type in one--tenth the value for LVDT Position Voltage at
Center from the table (i.e. 0.27 for pitch and roll) and verify from
the LVDT Position Voltage that the servo has repositioned.

FIGURE 7--3 ANALOG INFORMATION FOR PITCH SERVO (RAW DATA)
An example sequence for testing the pitch primary servo for proper operation is presented below.
Similar operations can be performed for the roll or yaw primary servo to verify proper operation of
those servos.
(1) Verify servo amplifier is not powered and not selected (set discrete output ports 0, 1, and
2 to a value of 0).
(2) Verify that the servo midpoint voltage read in is 0 volts (analog input MUX 2, channel 2)
and the LVDT sense input is below 0.5 VDC (analog input MUX 0, channel 15) and the
servo brake is engaged (discrete input port 3, bit 9 should be 0).
(3) Power the servo (set discrete output port 2 to a value of 0010).
(4) Record the value for the +28 VDC power input value (analog input MUX 2, channel 1).
(5) Verify that the servo midpoint voltage read in is near the value recorded for + 28 VDC
power input (analog input MUX 2, channel 2) and the LVDT sense input is above 0.5 VDC
(analog input MUX 0, channel 15).
(6) Select the servo by setting the brake solenoid lo side output (set discrete output port 1
to a value of 0001).
(7) Verify that the servo midpoint voltage read in is near of the value recorded for + 28 VDC
power input (analog input MUX 2, channel 2) and the servo brake remains engaged
(discrete input port 3, bit 9 should be 0).
(8) Disengage the servo brake by setting the brake solenoid hi side output (set discrete
output port 0 to a value of 0010).
(9) Verify that the servo brake is released (discrete input port 3, bit 9 should be 1).
(10) Command the servo to a position of 1.5 volts (set analog output 11 to a value of 0.15).
(11) Verify the servo command input is approximately 1.5 volts (analog input MUX 0, channel
4 should be 1.5 volts when viewed as raw data), the servo position is approximately 1.5
volts (analog input MUX 0, channel 3 should be 1.5 volts when viewed as raw data), and
servo current is near 0 amps (analog input MUX 0, channel 1).
(12) Command the servo to a position of 7 volts (set analog output 11 to a value of 0.7).
(13) Verify the servo command input is approximately 7 volts (analog input MUX 0, channel
4 should be 7 volts when viewed as raw data), the servo position is approximately 5.75
volts (analog input MUX 0, channel 3 should be 5.75 volts when viewed as raw data), and
absolute servo current is greater than 1.0 amp.
(14) Command the servo to a position of 0.0 volts (set analog output 11 to a value of 0.0).

CS:15546S00.IDU
BENDIX/KING
KFC 500
(15) Verify the servo command input is approximately 0 volts (analog input MUX 0, channel
4 should be 0 volts when viewed as raw data), the servo position is approximately 0 volts
(analog input MUX 0, channel 3 should be 0 volts when viewed as raw data), and servo
current is near 0 amps (analog input MUX 0, channel 1).
(16) Deselect the servo amp by clearing the brake solenoid lo side output (set discrete output
port 1 to a value of 0000).
(17) Verify that the servo brake is engaged (discrete input port 3, bit 9 should be 0).
This sequence of test steps can be used to verify that the servo is moving when commanded and
the brake is released. It also verifies that the servo amplifier bridge is outputting proper voltage
values to the servo and that the servo brake is operating correctly.
7.2.2 TRIM SERVO INTERFACES
The input/output ports associated with the trim servos are summarized in Table 7--3 for easy
reference. Operation of trim servos is similar to operation of the primary servos, as discussed in
section 7.2.1 Primary Servo Axis Interfaces, except that there is no LVDT position feedback.
Therefore, servo command is a drive voltage command instead of a position command.
Nominal motor stall current with 26 VDC of servo amplifier drive voltage is 0.12 amps.

7.4 CONTROL POSITION RESOLVERS
The control position resolver analog inputs channels are all located on AP processor analog input
MUX 3 as detailed in Table 7--5. Resolver position angle is obtained by trigonometric calculations
using both the Sin and Cos values of the angle. For any of the resolver position angle inputs to be
present, the excitation reference voltage of 26 VAC nominal must be present at both the resolver
and the FCC. The reference input to the FCC may be monitored at AP processor analog input MUX
5 channel 1. The scaled value next to the COS input for each resolver on the AP processor analog
input/output screen (channels 0, 2, 4, and 6) corresponds to the resolver mechanical angle. The
scaled value next to the SIN input for each resolver on the AP processor analog input/output screen
(channels 1, 3, 5, and 7) corresponds to the equivalent control surface movement. If installation of
the control position resolvers has not been performed (see sections 6.1.5.3 and 6.1.5.3.4) the
control surface values will be invalid and should be ignored. If the raw value of the SIN and COS
inputs for the control position resolvers is displayed (see section 6.1.5.2.3), the voltage input for the
SIN and COS is displayed. As a control is moved, both the SIN and COS signals will change for that
control. Due to the nature of the trigonometric functions, the SIN and COS values will change most
rapidly when the value is near zero.

NOTE
To verify activity on both the SIN and COS inputs for a control
position resolver, it is recommended that the control should be
moved throughout its entire range of motion so that changes can
be detected for both inputs.

7.5 ANALOG INPUT OF RADAR ALTITUDE

The analog radar altitude signal may be monitored at AP processor analog input MUX 4 channel
8. If the 28 VDC radar altitude valid is present (AP processor discrete input port 2 bit 2 should be
0) the scaled value units of feet should be displayed on the analog input/output screen. Otherwise,
the scaled value units will be displayed as invalid. The input circuits in the FCC add an offset to
the radar altitude signal before it is read in by the analog--to--digital converter, making an input
voltage of --9.00 VDC correspond to an altitude of 0 feet.
7.6 KRG 333 INTERFACE

The analog inputs from the KRG 333 are all part of the AP processor analog input MUX 4. Table
7--6 summarizes channel numbers for the inputs received from the KRG 333 and gives an
appropriate value for the input during test mode (KRG 333 in test). Testing for these values during
test mode and for non--test values during normal mode is an easy way to determine that the
signals are being received by the FCC. Test mode can be activated by setting the AP processor
discrete output port 2 bit 0 to 1.
The KRG 333 sends valid discretes to the FCC for Acceleration Valid and Rate Valid (composite
for all acceleration sources and all rate sources). These valids are an active ground signal. The Rate
Valid is input by the AP processors on discrete input port 1 bit 5. The Acceleration Valid is input by
the AP processors on discrete input port 2 bit 7. If a validity signal indicates invalid data, the scaled
analog inputs units will be displayed as invalid on the analog input/output screen. When the KRG
333 is in test mode, the validity signals will be set to indicate the acceleration and rate inputs are
invalid.
Channel # Signal Value in Test Mode
4 Lateral Acceleration < --6 VDC
6 Normal Acceleration > +6 VDC
7 Yaw Rate < --7 VDC
10 Pitch rate, body > +7 VDC
11 Roll rate, body > +7 VDC

7.7 DIRECTIONAL GYRO INTERFACE

The directional gyro information is received in 3--wire synchro format and converted to Sin and Cos
values by the FCC. The Sin value is displayed on AP processor analog input MUX 3 channel 12
and the Cos value is displayed on AP processor analog input MUX 3 channel 13. Directional gyro
validity is a 28 VDC input signal read in on AP processor discrete input port 2 bit 6 (when the bit
is 0 the directional gyro is valid).
7.8 VERTICAL GYRO INTERFACE

Pitch and roll attitude information is received in 3--wire synchro format and converted to a voltage
representing the tangent of the angle of attitude in the FCC. The FCC also filters the attitude
information to produce derived pitch and roll attitude rate. Table 7--7 shows the AP processor analog
inputs used to display this information. When displaying scaled values, the attitude information is
displayed in degrees and the rate information is displayed in degrees/second. When displaying raw
data, the voltage representing the tangent of the attitude angles is displayed and the attitude rates
are converted to a raw voltage value.
NOTE
The derived pitch and roll attitude rates are used in the AP
processor during normal mode for monitoring purposes. These
rates are compared with the rates received from the KRG 333 for
reasonability.

When in diagnostic mode it is normal for Label 350 bit 18 to indicate FCC Bus Activity
Fail since entering diagnostic mode turns off ARINC 429 transmission by the FD
processor. Selecting ASIC 0 and setting the output value to 60000017D should cause
the KMS 540 to set label 350 bit 18 to zero.

7.11 AIR DATA INTERFACE
NOTE
The Air Data interface is NOT present in SCAS/ATT only systems.
The easiest method for verifying that the FCC is receiving information from the air data system is
to attempt IAS hold mode. To verify operation of KAV 485 interface to FCC attempt IAS hold mode
engagement using the IAS ENG button on the KMS 540 when in normal mode (see section 1.6.2.3
for more information). If IAS hold mode engagement is successful, the FD processor is receiving
information from the KDC 481. To verify operation of FCC to KAV 485 interface attempt VS hold
mode engagement using the VS ENG button on the KAV 485. If VS hold mode engagement causes
the vertical speed bug on the KAV 485 to come into view the air data system is also receiving
information from the FCC. However, this method of verification does not verify that all labels
received from the KDC 481 are valid (i.e., True Airspeed, which could degrade FCC operation) and
does not verify that the AP processors are receiving air data information directly from the air data
system.
Air data information is received by the FD processor on ARINC 429 ASIC 1 channel 3 and by the
AP processors on ARINC 429 ASIC 0 channel 2. Table 7--11 shows the air data labels used by the
KFC 500 followed by a legend for the label formats that can be received. This information can be

All label formats are binary and can be decoded similarly. As an example,
when looking at label 203 (pressure altitude) bits 16, 17, and 19 are set to
a 1 on the diagnostic screen, while the other bits from 11 to 28 are set to a
0. Since label 203 is format A, bit 19 corresponds to 128 ft, bit 17 corre-
sponds to 32 ft, and bit 16 corresponds to 16 ft from the table. Adding
these three values together gives a pressure altitude reading of 176 feet.

7.12 EFIS INTERFACE

The easiest method for verifying that the FCC is receiving information from the EFIS is to attempt
mode engagement of any mode (except AP and SCAS) using the MSP. If mode engagement is
successful, the FD processor is receiving information from the EFIS. If command bars are displayed
on the EFIS ADI display when a flight director mode is engaged the EFIS is also receiving
information from the FCC. Also, in a properly configured EFIS, a red FD will be displayed whenever
the EFIS is not receiving ARINC 429 information from the FCC. However, this method of verification
does not verify that all labels received from the EFIS are valid (i.e., Heading, which would prevent
engagement of HDG select mode).
NOTE
In systems that have a dual EFIS, only AP and SCAS mode will
be annunciated on the inactive EFIS. The PIC switch determines
which EFIS is active. Only the active EFIS will display engaged
flight director modes and command bar information.
EFIS information is received by the FD processor on ARINC 429 ASIC 1 channel 1 from the left EFIS
and ARINC 429 channel 2 from the right EFIS (if available). Table 7--12 shows the EFIS labels used
by the FD processor followed by a legend for the label formats that can be received. This information
can be displayed using the ARINC 429 input/output screen in diagnostic mode (see section
6.1.5.2.4 ARINC 429 Input/Output Screen).

7.13 AURAL ANNUNCIATOR INTERFACE

The amplitude (volume) and frequency of the aural disconnect warning tone can be selected on the
AP processor installation screen (see section 6.1.5.3.2 AP Processor Installation Screens). Table
7--13 and Table 7--14 show the relationship of the AP processor discrete outputs to the amplitude
and frequency of the aural disconnect warning tone generated. The aural annunciator interface can
also be monitored and controlled (for testing) in diagnostic mode. Audio power is input as AP
processor discrete input port 0 bit 11, which will be a 0 if audio power is not present. The aural
warning tone can be simulated, when audio power is present, using one of the following two
methods:
(1) Set AP processor discrete output port 0 bit 8 to a 1 (Port 0 value is 100). The tone will
be present until this bit is set to a 0 (Port 0 value is 000).
(2) Set AP processor discrete output port 0 bit 2 to a zero. Then, set AP processor discrete
output port 2 bit 8 to a 1. Set bits 11 through 15 of AP processor discrete output port 0
to produce the desired volume and frequency for the tone. Finally, set output port 2 bit
8 to a 0 to generate the tone. The tone will not be generated when output port 2 bit 8
transitions from 1 to 0 if output port 0 bit 2 is set to 1 instead of 0.

APPENDIX A
ERROR CODES
GENERAL INFORMATION
Each error has a unique number and text message that is displayed on the Remote Terminal
Interface error log screen (see section 6.1.4). Since the error log only allows for an error description
of 30 characters, this appendix gives additional information about logged errors, including a more
detailed description of the error and possible reasons for the error.
Errors 0 through 342 cause the processor that logged the error to be reset when the error occurs.
Errors 360 through 363 and 381 are logged after a reset occurs for the reason indicated. Other
errors should not cause the processor to be reset when they are logged, but will affect operation
of the processor as indicated.
Error Code Categories
The following lists the general categories that the FCC errors are grouped in. It includes a category
name, a description of the category, and the range of error code numbers contained in that category.

Servo movement was detected for the indicated servo (if KLA 570) when the brake
was engaged during preflight test or the servo brake was not engaged. The indicated
KLA 570 servo moved from its original position by more than 0.01 inch while the brake
for that servo was engaged or the brake engaged input indicated that the servo brake
was not engaged when either the brake release hi or brake release lo output for the
servo was inactive.

The body rate valid input did not return to a normal value during preflight test. During
preflight test, the body rate test output is set to normal after checking for test values.
After setting this output to normal (not in test), the processor waits for 1 second before
reading the body rate validity. The body rate valid input indicated that the rate sensor
was invalid at that time.

The indicated body rate value was not at the expected test value during preflight test.
During preflight test, the body rate test output is set to test to indicate testing of the
body rate values. After setting this output to test, the processor waits for 500 ms be-
fore reading the body rate values. Pitch body rate was not above 30 degrees/second
for error 1631. Roll body rate was not above 30 degrees/second for error 1632. Yaw

The indicated body rate value did not return to a value within its normal range of op-
eration during preflight test. During preflight test, the body rate test output is set to nor-
mal after checking for test values. After setting this output to normal (not in test), the
processor waits for 1 second before reading the body rate values. For error 1634,
pitch body rate was either below --8 degrees/second or above 8 degrees/second. For
error 1635, roll body rate was either below --12 degrees/second or above 12 degrees/
second. For error 1636, yaw body rate was either below --12 degrees/second or above
12 degrees/second.

The indicated primary servo was detected to be in a mistrim condition. The position for
the indicated primary servo was not near the center of servo travel in the same direc-
tion for 10 sec. For error 1710, the pitch primary servo position must be more than
40% of the full--scale pitch primary servo travel from center. For error 1711, the roll
primary servo position must be more than 40% of the full--scale roll primary servo trav-
el from center. For error 1712, the yaw primary servo position must be more than 25%
of the full--scale yaw primary servo travel from center.

NOTE
When the aircraft is considered to be on the ground, the AP
monitoring errors (error codes 1100 through 1199 will not be
logged when the error occurs. This prevents ground checkout of
the system from causing errors to be logged that do not indicate
an actual system failure. The aircraft is considered to be on the
ground when indicated airspeed is less than 50 knots and is valid,
collective input is valid, and radar altitude is less than 15 feet if it is
valid (radar altitude is ignored for aircraft on ground determination
when it is invalid). When the aircraft is on the ground and AP
monitoring codes need to be logged (i.e., preflight test fails with no
error logged or testing for servo failures), the airdata circuit
breaker can be pulled to simulate the aircraft not on the ground.

Failure Annunciation
When a monitoring or preflight test error is logged, the failure is also annunciated to the pilot. Failure
to pass preflight test prevents future engagement of AP and SCAS mode, depending on the failure
detected, in the axis where the failure occurred. If a preflight test failure affecting a single axis is
detected during each of three test attempts, future engagement of AP mode is prevented in the
affected axis. If the detected failure was a primary servo failure, future engagement of SCAS mode
is also prevented in the affected axis. When this occurs, the failure light for the failed axis will be
illuminated on the IIDS (i.e., a pitch axis failure during PFT will cause the pitch axis fail light on the
IIDS to be illuminated). The failure discrete will remain illuminated until SCAS mode is engaged and
the failure was not a primary servo failure or pre--flight test is initiated. If a preflight test failure
affecting all axes is detected during each of three test attempts, future engagement of AP mode is
prevented. If the failure affected SCAS mode operation (i.e., performance strap miscompare),
future engagement of SCAS mode is also prevented. When this occurs, the AP fail light will be
illuminated on the IIDS.
When a monitoring error resulting in loss of AP mode occurs in only one axis (i.e., roll trim servo
failure), AP mode is dumped for the affected axis (if AP mode is engaged when the failure occurs),
the failure light for the failed axis is illuminated on the IIDS, and the disconnect aural alert tone will
sound for approximately 5 seconds. When AP mode is disengaged, the axis/axes failure light(s) will
be cleared. If possible, AP mode will revert to SCAS mode in the affected axis/axes (i.e., for failure
of a trim servo). This will occur for any error code listed here, but not listed for loss of SCAS mode
for the same axis below.

When a monitoring error resulting in loss of AP mode for all axes occurs (i.e., vertical gyro failure),
the AP mode will dump, the AP annunciation will flash for approximately 5 seconds, and the AP
disconnect aural alert tone will sound for approximately 5 seconds. Some of the monitoring errors
will cause the AP fail light on the IIDS to be illuminated, but others will not, as described below. If
possible, AP mode will revert to SCAS mode for all available axes (axes that do not have a failure
affecting SCAS operation). This will occur for any error code listed here, but not listed for loss of
SCAS mode for all three axes listed below.

When an AP mode failure affecting one axis occurs and it is the only axis engaged in AP mode, AP
mode will dump, the AP annunciation will flash for approximately 5 seconds, the AP disconnect
aural alert tone will sound for approximately 5 seconds, and the AP fail light on the IIDS will be
illuminated. When AP dumps, SCAS mode will be engaged for any axis that does not have a failure
affecting SCAS mode operation and failure lights for any axis that is engaged in SCAS mode on
the IIDS will not be illuminated. If SCAS mode cannot be engaged in any axis, the SCAS fail light
on the IIDS will be illuminated and the individual axis failure lights on the IIDS will be cleared.
When a SCAS mode failure affecting one axis occurs and it is the only axis engaged in SCAS mode
with no axes engaged in AP mode, SCAS mode will dump, the SCAS annunciation will flash for
approximately 5 seconds, the SCAS disconnect aural alert tone will sound for approximately 5
seconds, the SCAS fail light on the IIDS will be illuminated, and the individual axis failure lights on
the IIDS will be cleared.

Common Errors
There are some error codes that can be logged in the error code log frequently. Some error codes
do not necessarily mean that the FCC is not operating properly when logged in the error log. The
following error codes may be logged in the error code log because of a transient (i.e., voltage spike
on an input), a unit not connected to the FCC when powered (i.e., no RTI interface set up, so RS
232 communications initially fails -- of course, if the error code log can be accessed these failures
are not currently a problem), or other similar problems that are not true system failures :
Error # Text Message When failure appears to occur most often
412 CIP RX ARINC queue full transition from diagnostic mode to normal mode
414 CIP RX text queue full transition from diagnostic mode to normal mode
422 CIP detect break transition from diagnostic mode to normal mode
920 CI Update Timing randomly (occurs potentially anytime)
921 Update timing 429_ADC during power--up and power--down of system
components (dependent on power application/re-
moval sequence for each unit)
929 Update timing CIP_APIN during power--up and power--down of system
930 Update timing CIP_FDIN during power--up and power--down of system
931 Update timing CIP_MAIIN during power--up and power--down of system

NOTES
1 If this error is logged by an AP processor, the failure occurred in the AP IP communication
bus. If this error is logged by an FD or maintenance processor, the failure occurred in
the FD IP communication bus.
2 The failure occurred in the common IP communication bus.
3 This failure is detected by the interrupt service routine that processes the
communications. An receive error (i.e. RX status) will cause the received
communication packet to be ignored by the receiving processor.
4 When this error occurs, data may have been lost.
5 Since the AP processor uses DMA channel 2 for analog input, a DMA 2 failure logged
by an AP processor could indcate that the analog input service routine or analog input
hardware has failure instead of the ARINC 429 ASIC.
6 This error will not be logged if both pitch and roll commmands are invlaid or if the system
is configed as a SCAS/ATT system.
7 Only if this monitor was caused by a body rate validity failure and not a body rate out of
range failure.
