Current Centralized FADEC Ducting/Wiring Diagram

current

  • This notional diagram shows the relative magnitude of the wiring and ducting issue with a federated system.
  • The FADEC must have the correct hardware to interface with the various sensors and actuators.
    • Most I/O require unique hardware and are therefore not flexible.
    • In order to manage weight spare interfaces are kept to a minimum
      • This reduces the possibility of future expansion/growth.

Centrally Controlled FADEC

central FADEC

Baseline centralized engine control architecture. The FADEC connects directly to each system element.
