Current Centralized FADEC Ducting/Wiring Diagram
- 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
Baseline centralized engine control architecture. The FADEC connects directly to each system element.
