The DVCS6100 is the latest state of the art Digital Audio Selector and Intercom System from Becker Avionics. Designed with both rotary and fixed wing aircraft in mind, Becker Avionics proven know-how in audio applications for the aerospace industry has been fully utilized. With the use of future-proof DSP and Microcontroller technology, the system meets today's latest technical and quality standards. A modular system design philosophy has been implemented to allow maximum flexibility during system integration and to ensure optimum performance and reliability during in flight operations
The DVCS6100 is composed of: one Remote Electronic Unit REU6100, up to 6 Audio Control Units ACU6100 or ACU6101, Optional Intercom Amplifier for up to 12 passengers. Each one of the max. 6 Audio Control Units transmits the status of the selected switches and rotary controls via a dual redundant CAN-Bus to the Remote Electronic Unit. Impedance matching and audio Digital Signal Processing takes place within the REU6100. The EM6100 is the memory device (optional). It is a small device connected to the REU6100 and stores the systems configuration. Allows easy field replacement without reconfiguration of the system on the bench. Configuration of the DVCS6100 during system integration or usage at operators site is eased by means of a special configuration software tool available from Becker Avionics.
To ensure a maximum of reliability and safety during operation, the system features special safety modes:
- Slaved Mode: In case total loss of pilots or co-pilots ACU, the control is switched in parallel, by means of setting the selector switch to SLAVED, to the other pilots ACU.
- Emergency Mode: In the event of a total power failure, the headsets of pilot and co-pilot are automatically by-passed direct to
COM 1/ FIX1 and COM2 / FIX2.
In case of a failure within the REU the system can be switched manually into this mode.
This manual fail-safe operation is activated by means of setting the selector switch on pilots or co-pilots ACU to the BACK-UP position.
