Retrofittable 21st Century Engine Management... At Last!
AEA 2008 gave the Aero-TV crew a chance to not only get up close
and personal with the AuRACLE CRM 2100 but the twin-engine, the CRM
2120... and we came away convinced that Xerion Avionics has been
thinking up some great things.
With all the emphasis being given on retrofitting and upgrading
attitude, navigation and communication displays, it's an honest
pleasure to see a solid effort to bring 21st Century technology to
engine data and management -- especially when it looks THIS
good.
Xerion tells ANN that the AuRACLE CRM2100 is a dual-box
networked system. where the system's EIU (Engine Interface Unit) is
mounted on the engine-side of the firewall and where ALL engine
sensors connect directly to the EIU, 'over there.'
The engine data is transmitted via a networked CAN bus to the
Display Unit using a single bulkhead connector on the firewall.
From there, a second cable marries up with the DU. Xerion notes
that this networked system 'reduces wire runs, thereby
significantly reducing installation costs and is very advantageous
for pressurized aircraft.' The AuRACLE CRM2100 networked system
architecture also allows for future expansion to communicate with
other networked Xerion engine monitoring systems.

Aero-TV's Comprehensive Look At Xerion's Intriguing AuRACLE
CRM2100
(Part Three Of Three)
About Aero-TV: It's DEFINITELY Show
Time!!!!
OK, folks, here we go... we are NOW initiating the first
feature programming series for Aero-TV... we're going to take it
slow, but we're also going to try and be steady about this. DO
UNDERSTAND that this is the most complex media program we've ever
undertaken and what you're seeing is just the tip of the iceberg...
but from here on out, we will be doing our best to educate,
inform, and entertain YOU about all aspects of the exciting worlds
of aviation and aerospace.
If you've been an observer of the media and associated media
industries over the last few years, it's not hard to mistake the
fact that a massive revolution is taking place. Old sources for
news and information are falling by the wayside, having to change
their modus operandi or risk obsolescence (or extinction).
Electronic media and print media are both under the assault of
progress, and the online world has been a cornerstone for
revolutionary change.
We've been ready to go for a while, but to be honest, there's so
much more to this program than we've alluded to, and so we've been
building and planning a massive new organization within ANN. That
said, we're hiring talented new people as
fast as we can find them (a far more difficult
task than we had imagined -- REALLY good people are hard to find),
and we're brainstorming at speeds that would make a deorbiting
Space Shuttle feel like a slug. Suffice it to say that we wanted to
do this right, rather than right-now, and that the development of
this program has been the most carefully pursued undertaking we've
ever undertaken.
E-I-C Note: The
complete feature shown above is embedded in this
story, with most of the slick and useful functionality
otherwise available on the main Aero-TV site (which will be
upgraded aggressively over the next few weeks). The ability to
embed a video on another web page is but one of the hundreds
of amazing little features that we've worked hard on, for many
months now, to implement in different phases of the initial
release of Aero-TV. It is, BY NO MEANS, the only way to enjoy
unaltered Aero-TV programming on other parts of the web... as we
have extensive plans for future functionality, but this
feature allows those with an interest in a specific Aero-TV News or
Feature program to embed it on a different web site, though we
must note that we reserve the right to forbid such use for those
sites or purposes that we do not feel fit in with the proper
mission of the Aero-News Network, Inc.
Webmasters or Administrators of well-trafficked aviation or
aerospace related sites, are welcome to contact the Publisher to
start conversations on how they may be able to leverage some of the
immense power of Aero-TV programming for their sites and
constituency by clicking the I Want Aero-TV For
MY Website! link.
