How many boards are required to enable full flight deck functionality and normal operation on an Airbus A320 OEM Flight Simulator?

Transceiver – Transmits and receives communication
Transmitter – Transmits communication
Receiver – Receives communication

---

Radio Management Panel – 1x ARINC 429 Lo Speed Transceiver for each RMP; each board controls an output VHF

ECAM Control Panel – 1x ARINC 429 Lo Speed Transceiver

Weather Control Panel – 1x ARINC 429 Lo Speed Receiver 

Parking Brake/Rudder Trim Panel – 1x ARINC 429 Lo Speed Transmitter. 

Audio Control Panel – 1x ARINC 429 Low Speed Transceiver (requires special ACP firmware from Cockpit Concept) for each ACP.

ATC/TCAS Panel – 1x ARINC 429 Lo Speed Transceiver (two if you require ATC 1 and ATC 2 functionality).

DDRMI – 1x Hi Speed Transmitter / 2x Lo Speed Transmitter

Clock – 1x ARINC 429 Lo Speed Receiver

Triple Gauge Brake – 1x Analog Voltage board

Flight Control Unit – 1x FCU Interface Board

Overhead Battery Indicator – 1x Voltmeter Interface Board

Cockpit Concept manufactures communication boards which fulfil these roles. In addition specific profiles can be programmed so 1 board can control multiple devices. For example, the Rudder Trim Panel and Weather Control Panel can be wired to one LS Transceiver.

Total Boards Required:

ARINC 429 LS Transceivers – 7 required (2 for each RMP, 1 for the ECP, 2 for each ACP, 1 for the Rudder Trim and Weather Control Panel [shared profile/board], 1 for the ATC/TCAS, Clock is optional wiring)

ARINC 429 1x HS / 2x LS Transmitter – 1 required (DDRMI)

Flight Control Unit – 1 required

Triple Pressure Gauge – 1 Analog Voltage

Overhead Battery Indicator – 1 Voltmeter Interface
