| FCU320 FLIGHT CONTROL UNIT |
| |
CPflight FCU is a full scale replica of AIRBUS FLIGHT CONTROL UNIT.
The module is complete and ready to use and interface with Microsoft Flight Simulator.
The unit work with FSX Airbus A320 aircraft using the CPflight driver FS_COM.
It is also compatible with Project Magenta, AST software and FeelThere Airbus series.
FCU320 is connected to the PC through USB. Package include an universal
power supply adapter and USB cable. USB driver can be free downloaded
at CPflight web site download page.

FCU320 can be interfaced with Microsoft Simulator (FSX), Project Magenta FCU, AST software And FeelThere Airbus series.
The hardware establish an interface with FSX, PM, AST and FeelThere Airbus software; logics, operating modes and aircraft behavior
are managed the PC software.
FCU320 is equipped with high quality level components. Digital encoder, custom display LCD,
Engravity custom solutions for frontplate and pushbuttons give a high fidelity performances and a never
seen realism. Knobs are made in aluminium dust-coated with symbols on HDG and VS knobs.
FCU320 have warm white backlight.
FCU320 comes provided with wide expansion capability through the DIN 5 pole auxiliary socket. This allows you to connect
and interface CPflight plug&play expansion modules (future development).

Based on a 16 bit microcontroller, CPflight FCU comes with 4 digital encoders able
to command all functions you may find on a real FCU Flight Control Unit.
All 4 encoder have the push/pull functions. The custom baclighted LCD display assure a perfect management
of all display label like a real FCU. You can regulate the display brightness and contrast to
always have a perfect relation with the existing light.
The panel is equipped with: 6 integrated lights pushbuttons, 3 round push button, 100/1000 rotary switch selector.
The FCU320 already have on board the sockets where connect the two EFIS ( CP and FO ). The EFIS are
directly powered and managed by the FCU, you don't need further supply adapter or cables.
The flash memory technology of the microcontroller gives you a simple way to upgrade the built-in
operating program (Firmware). This feature is useful for update your FCU with improvement
and future expansion.

The front panel (dimensions 260mm width and 90mm height) is backlighted.
The backlight does not require any external addition,
everything is built-in the FCU
and the control is directly given by Flight Simulator instrument light status or connecting an external switch to
the related input ( refer to the FCU manual; External backlight control section ).

| PROGRAM MODE |
|
FCU320 firmware provide an intenal program mode to configure the main preferences in the hardware functionality.
No need PC software program to configure the FCU320 hardware. In program mode you can set how to control the BACKLIGHT (internal or external)
the DISPLAY BRIGHTNESS and some other functions.
Refer to FCU320 manual for more info.
