List,
This new product just popped up on the radar. What do you all think, does it show potential?
Jerry Cochran
Here is the web site for the new Smart Aircraft Management Systems, "SAMS"
http://smartaircraftsystems.com/
Still preliminary and lots of housekeeping and text editing but its
basically complete.
This is a all solid state electrical system with no relays mechanical CB,
fuses, or contactors in the power path from the battery (s) to the end user
equipment, Integrated into this system is a complete fault detection and
warning system that includes relational logic to detect and warn if two or
more monitored conditions exist that alone is not a fault but the specific
combination of conditions will generate a fault. Both Visual and Audible
warnings are available. This fault detection system includes the ability to
have different levels of limit checking and the modules are interconnected
using the automotive type CAN serial bus. This fault system is independent
of the hardwired electrical power system for reliability. With solid state
switches and built in over current protection the result is a simple to wire
electrical system. Its been in work for several years.
Feel free to ask questions.

There's a bunch of new electrical system management products
coming on line these days. I've consulted for several manufacturers
of such products.
The question to be asked and answered is what is the $cost$ to
save how much $time$ and at what reduction in system reliability -
particularly with respect to single points of failure propagating
across multiple systems. What are the weight penalties and perhaps
most importantly, if one decides to stay with traditional management
techniques and philosophies, what other useful electro-whizzy could
be purchased with dollars not invested for added convenience or
"gee whiz".
Without arguing for or against such systems, I would encourage
every potential user to deduce for themselves the return on
investment in the product for how they intend to use the airplane
while keeping in mind an old adage my grandfather might have
offered . . . "Sometimes the best way to drive a nail is with
a hammer."
