2.1.1 System Architecture and Interface Capabilities
The functionality of the G3X system is distributed between multiple interconnected devices, some of
which are located in the instrument panel and some of which are remote-mounted elsewhere. An individual
device in the G3X system is often referred to as a “Line Replaceable Unit”, or LRU. This term is used
generically in aviation for devices that can be readily “swapped out” for troubleshooting or repair.
LRUs in the G3X system are interconnected via RS-232 interfaces and a shared CAN bus network (see
). The G3X system can interface to a variety of other devices using RS-232 and ARINC 429
connections.
