  • Power-data nodes for an aircraft system
    Patent number: 12027870
    Abstract: Systems and methods for power and data distribution on an aircraft. One embodiment provides an aircraft comprising a plurality of nodes, a power system controller, and an aircraft controller. Each node is connected to a plurality of LRUs, and each node includes a node controller. The power system controller is configured to control power distribution to each node. The aircraft controller is configured to transmit data to each node and to receive data from each node. The node controller includes an electronic processor and a memory. The node controller is configured to control power to the plurality of LRUs, receive first data from at least one LRU of the plurality of LRUs, and provide the first data to the aircraft controller. The node controller is further configured to receive second data from the aircraft controller and provide the second data to at least one LRU of the plurality of LRUs.
