Configuration diagram (ARINC for VxWorks code)

A Configuration Diagram is a hierarchical diagram representing all or part of an ARINC 653 configuration. It is based on the UML structure diagram which represents whole/part hierarchies using nested rectangles.

A Configuration Diagram allows you to create the items that define an ARINC configuration and application startup code.

When you create an Integration Project through the New > Integration Project command, the profile creates four Configuration Diagrams in the model:

• <module name> Configuration Diagram - This is the top-level Configuration Diagram that shows the owning Module and its moduleHM (Module HM Table), systemHM (System HM Table) and partHM (Partition HM Table) items. You can use this diagram to create and define the Partitions in your model.

The content of the following Configuration Diagrams could be shown on the preceding '<module name> Configuration Diagram' diagram, but it would make that diagram very cluttered.

• moduleHm Module HM Configuration Diagram1 - This Configuration Diagram shows the content of the moduleHM Module HM Table, that is, a System State Entry and default Error ID Actions. The content could be shown on the

• systemHm System HM Table Diagram - This Configuration Diagram shows the content of the systemHM System HM Table, that is, default System State Entries and Error ID Levels.

• partHm Partition HM Configuration Diagram1 - This Configuration Diagram shows the content of the partHM Partition HM Table, that is, a System State Entry and default Error ID Actions.

For more information about the preceding diagrams, see the related links below.

• From a Module: right-click the Module, point to ARINC 653, point to New, and then click Blank Configuration Diagram. This command creates an empty Configuration Diagram, onto which you can drag a Module, Partition, Module HM Table, Partition HM Table or System HM Table.

• From a Partition: right-click the Partition, point to ARINC 653, point to New, and then click Partition Configuration Diagram. This command creates a Configuration Diagram with the Partition you right-clicked on the diagram.

• From a Module HM Table: right-click the Module HM Table, point to ARINC 653, point to New, and then click Module HM Table Diagram. This command creates a Configuration Diagram with the Module HM Table you right-clicked on the diagram.

• From a Partition HM Table: right-click the Partition HM Table, point to ARINC 653, point to New, and then click Partition HM Table Diagram. This command creates a Configuration Diagram with the Partition HM Table you right-clicked on the diagram.

• From a System HM Table: right-click the System HM Table, point to ARINC 653, point to New, and then click System HM Table Diagram. This command creates a Configuration Diagram with the System HM Table you right-clicked on the diagram.

After creating a Configuration Diagram from an item, on a Configuration Diagram you can double-click that item to open its associated Configuration Diagram.

The following example shows item ownership on a Configuration Diagram.

You can view all the Configuration Diagrams in the model through the Configuration Diagram folder in the ARINC 653 Profile pane.

A Configuration Diagram is based on a UML Composite Structure Diagram.

Create an Application Part through the diagram's toolbar: click the

Application toolbar button, and then click within the owning Partition Part. When you create an Application Part, the profile creates an Application that types the Application Part and an Application Project.

Ensure that you link the Application Part to the appropriate Ports using a Port Usage link.

Through the Application that types the Application Part, specify the Inline, MemorySizeBss, MemorySizeData, MemorySizePersistentBss, MemorySizePersistentData, MemorySizeRoData, MemorySizeText, xi:include, xmlns, xmlns:xi, xmlns:xsi and xsi:schemaLocation properties.

Create a Blackboard through the diagram's toolbar: click the

Blackboard toolbar button, and then click within the owning Partition Part.

Specify the MaxMessageSize property of the Blackboard through the context menu of the Blackboard: right-click the Blackboard, point to ARINC 653, point to Set, and then click MaxMessageSize.

Create a Buffer through the diagram's toolbar: click the

Buffer toolbar button, and then click within the owning Partition Part.

Specify the MaxMessageSize, MaxNbMessages and QueueingDiscipline properties of the Buffer through its context menu: right-click the Buffer, point to ARINC 653, point to Set, and then click the appropriate command.

Create a Channel through the diagram's toolbar: click the

Channel toolbar button, click the starting Sampling Port or Queuing Port, and then click the ending Sampling Port or Queuing Port.

Create a Dependency between a Partition Part and its Partition HM Table: click the

Dependency toolbar button, click the Partition Part, and then click the Partition HM Table.

Create an Error ID Action through the diagram's toolbar: click the

Error ID Action toolbar button, and then click within the owning System State Entry.

Specify the Action property of the Error ID Action through the ErrorIDAction tab of the Error ID Action's Property Pages.

Create an Error ID Level through the diagram's toolbar: click the

Error ID Level toolbar button, and then click the owning System State Entry.

Specify the ErrorLevel property of the Error ID Level through the ErrorIDLevel tab of the Error ID Level's Property Pages.

Create an Event through the diagram's toolbar: click the

Event toolbar button, and then click within the owning Partition Part.

A Module cannot be created on a Configuration Diagrams, but you can drag a Module to a Configuration Diagram.

Specify the Id property of the Module through the Module tab of the Module's Property Pages.

Create a Module HM Table through the diagram's toolbar: click the

Module Health Monitoring Table toolbar button, and then click within the owning Module.

You can create a Configuration Diagram from a Module HM Table: right-click the Module HM Table, point to ARINC 653, New, and then click Module HM Table Diagram. The profile adds the Module HM Table you right-clicked to the Configuration Diagram.

Specify the properties of the Module HM Table through the ModuleHMTable tab of the Module HM Table's Property Pages.

Create a Partition Part through the diagram's toolbar: click the

Partition Part toolbar button, and then click within the owning Module. When you create a Partition Part, the profile creates a Partition item that types that Partition Part.

Ensure that you create a Dependency between the Partition Part and its Partition HM Table.

Specify the PartitionIdentifier property of the Partition Part through the Partition Part tab of the Partition Part's Property Pages.

Specify other properties of the Partition Part through its associated Partition.

You can create a Configuration Diagram from a Partition (not a Partition Part): right-click the Partition, point to ARINC 653, New, and then click Partition Configuration Diagram. The profile adds the Partition you right-clicked to the Configuration Diagram.

Create a Partition HM Table through the diagram's toolbar: click the

Partition Health Monitoring Table toolbar button, and then click within the owning Module.

You can create a Configuration Diagram from a Partition HM Table: right-click the Partition HM Table, point to ARINC 653, New, and then click Partition HM Table Diagram. The profile adds the Partition HM Table you right-clicked to the Configuration Diagram.

Specify the properties of the Partition HM Table through the PartitionHMTable tab of the Partition HM Table's Property Pages.

Create a Port Usage (UML Association) through the diagram's toolbar: click the
