The Engine Data Concentrator Unit (EDCU) is used in an integrated display system to accept analog engine sensor and caution/advisory inputs and output this data on a digital ARINC 429 data bus for display and other purposes. The system typically consists of two identical units in parallel and all signals are connected to both units. The DCUs communicate to each other through a separate ARINC 429 data bus. Multiple configurations can be stored in software to allow the same unit to be used on different platforms. 1, record 3, English, - engine%20data%20concentrator%20unit

La evaluación se logra por la sustitución de las expresiones. Por cada expresión que no sea un valor simple de datos, un conjunto de reglas define qué debe sustituirse al aparecer la expresión. La máquina [de reducción] trabaja comparando cada subexpresión de la expresión actualmente evaluada con su regla apropiada y sustituyéndola según lo especifique dicha regla. Este proceso de sustitución de las expresiones continúa hasta que sólo quedan los valores simples de datos, representando el valor original de la expresión. 1, record 6, Spanish, - m%C3%A1quina%20de%20reducci%C3%B3n
