The iEFIS Systems
The iEFIS system consists of three different sized touch screen panels.
Also available in a Lite version (see below)
Challenger: 10.4” XVGA
Explorer: 8.5” WGA
Discovery: 7” WGA
These are full feature systems and require an iBOX unit which is the central part of the system. One or two iBOX devices can share up to 8 panels.
A typical system is shown on the right using a single iBOX. Wiring is greatly reduced by being able to place the iBOX in a suitable location while connections between the systems uses the CAN network interface to devices.
This image shows only a few of the many options but serves as an introduction to a possible system.

The iEFIS Lite Systems
The iEFIS panels are available in a “Lite” version.
This version does not require the use of the iBOX and is thus suitable for applications where low cost and simplicity of the installation are required.
The “Lite” panel uses exactly the same firmware as a regular iEFIS system and is this not restricted in is capabilities, save for any function that requires specific hardware support by the iBOX.
The “Lite” panel itself includes altimeter and airspeed sensors, a built in WAAS GPS, AHRS, CAN interface for connection to any MGL CAN based peripheral as well as two RS232 ports for connection to items like radios etc. It is also possible to connect an EFIS expander.
This provides additional analog and digital inputs and digital (switched) outputs, an AOA sensor as well as 5 RS232 ports for a total of 6 usable RS232 ports. It also provides an interface for a standard MGL OAT sensor (the Lite panel has a built in sensor intended mostly for open cockpit aircraft).

Specifications
Altimeter, Airspeed, Vertical speed, AHRS, rate of turn, slip, angle of attack.
Synthetic vision including 4 video sources (FLIR cameras etc), TAWS (on synthetic vision and 2D maps).
Built in WAAS GPS (50 channels), connectivity to external navigation systems and radios. ARINC (G430 etc), VOR, ILS. Including built in simulated ILS/Glide slope and VOR using GPS.
Voice annunciation and alerts
Via external RDAC modules up to 4 engines, comprehensive sensor connectivity. Suitable for any type of engine including turbines. RDAC modules greatly reduce wiring.
Systems from simple to complex redundancy can be constructed using multiple sensors (AHRS etc), dual iBOX and mutiple panels. Master and backup power supplies in various topographies suported.
“Lite” systems provide self contained panels that can share sensors.
Supports external autopilots (NMEA and ARINC) as well as providing a built in autopilot that can drive MGL servos directly.
The built in autopilot is one of the best in the industry and can fly even “twitchy” aircraft in all conditions. Supports one, two or three axis servo control. Autopilot includes lateral as well as vertical control and can fly glide slopes.
6 x RS232, 3 ARINC RX, 1 ARINC TX. 2 x CAN. Analog nav inputs, analog/digital inputs, encoder output, general purpose outputs
“Lite”: 2 x RS232, 1 x CAN
