1. General
This chapter contains information how to remove/install and examine the engine control system
components.
2. System Description/Operation
A. Engine Electronic Control Unit (EECU)
The EECU is a 28V supplied device which consists of two equivalent parts: ECU A and ECU B.
Each ECU can control the engine itself. At each self-test, a test of the two ECU channels shall be done.
Usually, the ECU with less operating hours will be selected as active. The other ECU channel is in hot
standby that means active, evaluates sensor values but not operating actuators.
If a failure occurs on one ECU, an internal voter can select the alternative channel.
If different types of failures occur at the same time, the selection decision is based on failure
importance level.
The pilot can select the ECU channel manually.
The interface to the engine indications in the A/C is done via a serial Bus (CAN-Bus).
The pilot interface is done over Power Lever Sensors. Each ECU has a separate sensor. Each sensor
has two outputs which are used to do plausibility checks of the sensor.
