Modern day Aircraft is being operated with
most advance Avionics and Digital instrumentation
for such advance technique data transfer is carried
out with digital buses and one type of digital bus is
ARINC 429.

 The major limitation of ARINC 429 is that it has
a simplex architecture
 Its mean that digital data can travel only in one
direction from the transmitter source to the receiver
sink at any one time
 Data can’t travel in the opposite direction on
the same bus
ARINC 429 LIMITATIONS

10. ARINC 429
 It means that if there are multiple sinks for one
source and one of those sinks needs to transmit
back to the source and / or the other sinks
 It will need a separate twisted-pair wire to do
so since data transfer is not bi-directional

 ARINC 429 uses a return-to-zero modulation
technique to form each bit meaning that logic state
"1" is achieved by voltage moving from high
(e.g., +10 volts) to null (zero volts) and logic state "0"
is obtained by going from null to low (e.g., -10 volts)

 The first bit is the parity bit (used for error
detection), followed by three sign and status matrix
bits, 18 data bits, 2 bits for the source destination
identifier and an 8 bit data word label
 A message consists of a start-of-transmission
signal, up to 253 data words, and an end-of-
transmission signal
