The System of Avionics Modules (next SAM) is a unique open distribute system of avionics, which represents important specific functions of Ae270 aircraft.
Each module connects and automatically exercises functional processes in the airplane. It increases crew’s comfort during aircraft operation. Each module can work independently and can be arbitrarily enlarged and connected according to the customer’s demands via communication bus. The communication bus is realised by standard of serial CAN (Controller Area Network) bus with communication protocol HLP (Higher Layer Protocol) of
CANaerospace standard.
Moreover, the system includes internal diagnostics functions preventing disrepairs.
SAM System versatility and modularity enables easy application in civil aviation.
SAM System is one of the first facilities in the world using data CAN bus with HLP CANaerospace which has been certified according to the FAA FAR23 standards for civil airspace utilization.

SAM Applications:
The System of Avionics Modules (SAM) was primary developed for application in Ae270 the transport aircraft (low-wing single-engine turboprop multipurpose transport aircraft) which is produced by Ibis Aerospace Ltd. Company. SAM system (modularity) can be integrated into any avionics system.
Ibis Aerospace has been formed as
Aero Vodochody (Czech Republic) a
AIDC (Taiwan) manufacturers consortium.
