FADEC PRESENTATION (1)

GENERAL
POWER SUPPLY
The Full Authority Digital Engine Control (FADEC) system controls the
engine. FADEC also interfaces with aircraft signals.
The FADEC system of each engine consists of a dual channel Electronic
Control Unit (ECU), with its associated peripherals.
The ECU is the computer of the FADEC system and is located on the
engine fan case.
Each ECU is powered by a three-phase permanent magnet alternator

when the engine N2 > 15%. The FADEC Control Alternator provides an
independent power supply to both ECU channels.
U3T06191 - U13T2M0 - UM73P1CFM000001

FADEC ARCHITECTURE (1)

DUAL CHANNEL
BITE CAPABILITY
The Full Authority Digital Engine Control (FADEC) system is fully

redundant and built around two independent Electronic Control Unit
(ECU) control channels.
Dual inputs, dual outputs, and automatic switch over from one channel
to the other, eliminates any dormant failure.
The ECU consists of two channels (A and B). Each channel can control
the different components of the engine systems.
Channels A and B are permanently operational. The channel in control
manages the systems.
The ECU is equipped with a Built-in Test Equipment (BITE) system

which provides maintenance information and test capabilities via the
MCDU.
DUAL INPUTS
All control inputs to the FADEC system are dual. Only some secondary
parameters used for monitoring and indicating are single.
To increase the fault tolerant design, the parameters are exchanged
between the two control channels (inside the ECU) via the cross channel
data link. Each channel can also operate independently, without cross
channel data link.
FAULT STRATEGY
The ECU can detect and isolate failures using the BITE system.
The BITE system allows the ECU to switch engine control functions
from a faulty channel to the healthy one.
FAIL SAFE CONTROL

If one channel is faulty, and the channel that is in control cannot ensure
an engine component function, the component is moved to a fail-safe
position.
Example: if one channel is faulty and the other channel is unable to control
the Variable Bleed Valve (VBV) position, the VBVs are set to the fail-safe
open position.
U3T06191 - U13T2M0 - UM73P2CFM000001
HARDWIRED INPUTS
Most of the communication between the A/C systems and the ECU is
transmitted over digital data buses.
In addition, some signals are hardwired directly from the A/C to the ECU.
DUAL OUTPUTS
All of the ECU control outputs are dual. The channel that is in control
supplies the control signals to the various components such as torque
motors and solenoids.
The other channel calculation is used for crosschecking.

MAIN INTERFACES
The ECU performs its tasks by interfacing with A/C system computers,
either directly, or via the Engine Interface Unit (EIU). The EIU is an
interface concentrator that serves as the communication link, between
the A/C systems and the FADEC system. There is one EIU for each
engine.
The ECU receives inputs from:
- Air Data Inertial Reference Units (ADIRUs),
- Flight Control Unit (FCU),
- Environmental Control System (ECS) computers,
- Centralized Fault Display Interface Unit (CFDIU),
- Landing Gear Control and Interface Units (LGCIUs),
- cockpit engine controls including fire, anti-ice systems and Throttle
Lever Angle (TLA).
The ECU sends outputs to:
- Flight Data Interface and Management Unit (FDIMU),
- Flight Warning Computers (FWCs),
- Display Management Computers (DMCs),
- Flight Management and Guidance Computers (FMGCs),
- Centralized Fault Display Interface Unit (CFDIU),
- Bleed air Monitoring Computers (BMCs) through the EIU.

FADEC PRINCIPLE (2)

GENERAL
ENGINE LIMIT PROTECTION
The Full Authority Digital Engine Control (FADEC) system manages

the engine thrust and optimizes the performance.
The FADEC provides overspeed protection for N1 and N2, in order to

prevent the engine from exceeding certified limits and also monitors the
EGT.
FADEC
The FADEC consists of the Electronic Control Unit (ECU) and its
peripheral components and sensors used for control and monitoring.
The ECU interfaces with the other A/C systems through the Engine
Interface Unit (EIU).
The primary parameters (N1, N2, Exhaust Gas Temperature (EGT) and
Fuel Flow (FF)) are directly sent by the ECU to the ECAM. The secondary
parameters are sent to the ECAM trough the EIU.
ENGINE INTERFACE UNIT

Each EIU, located in the avionics bay, is an interface concentrator between
the airframe and the corresponding ECU located on the engine.
There is one EIU for each engine. It interfaces with the corresponding
ECU.
U3T06191 - U13T2M0 - UM73P3CFM000001
POWER MANAGEMENT
The FADEC provides automatic engine thrust control and thrust parameter
limit computation.
The FADEC manages power according to two thrust modes:
- manual mode depending on Throttle Lever Angle (TLA),
- autothrust mode depending on autothrust function generated by the
Auto Flight System (AFS).
The FADEC also provides two idle mode selections: minimum idle and
approach idle, obtained when the slats are extended. The idle can also be
modulated up to approach idle depending on: air conditioning demand,
wing anti-ice demand, engine anti-ice demand and oil temperature (for
Integrated Drive Generator (IDG) cooling).
ENGINE SYSTEM CONTROL

The FADEC provides optimal engine operation by controlling:
- FF,
- Turbine Clearance and Compressor Airflow.
STARTING AND IGNITION CONTROL

The FADEC controls the engine start sequence.
It monitors N1, N2, and EGT parameters and can abort or recycle an
engine start.
The FADEC controls the starting and ignition in automatic mode when
initiated from the ENG start panel (115 VU) or manual mode when
initiated from the ENG MAN START panel.
THRUST REVERSER
The FADEC entirely supervises the thrust reverser operation.
In case of malfunction, the thrust reverser is stowed.

GENERAL
ECU CHANNEL B OUTPUTS
The Electronic Control Unit (ECU) interfaces with various systems

through channels A and B.
Channel B provides outputs via ARINC buses to the: EIU, FWCs, DMCs,
and FMGC. It also provides outputs to the engine controls.
ECU CHANNEL A INPUTS

Channel A receives via bus network:
- The anemometric parameters for thrust calculation from the Air Data
Inertial Reference System (ADIRS),
- The A/C command signals from the Engine Interface Unit (EIU) for
engine control.
Each ECU receives a single hardwired signal from the instinctive
disconnect push buttons. The Throttle Control Unit sends the Throttle
Resolver Angle (TRA). Each ECU also receives signals from engine
sensors
NOTE: The relationship between the Throttle Lever Angle (TLA) and
TRA is linear and: 1 degree TLA is 1.9 degrees TRA.
The ECU is electrically supplied via the EIU only when N2 is below
12%. The ignition is supplied by 115 VAC.
U3T06191 - U13T2M0 - UM73D3CFM000001
ECU CHANNEL B INPUTS

Channel B has the same inputs as channel A from the ADIRS, EIU,
Throttle Control Unit, autothrust disconnect switches and engine sensors.
ECU CHANNEL A OUTPUTS

Channel A provides outputs via ARINC buses to the: EIU, Flight Data
Interface and Management Unit (FDIMU) - DMU part, Flight Warning
Computers (FWCs), Display Management Computers (DMCs), Flight
Management and Guidance Computers (FMGCs).
Channel A also provides outputs to the engine controls (torque motors
and solenoids).

ECU ELECTRICAL PWR SPLY CONTROL (3)

GENERAL
AUTO DE-POWERING
The Electronic Control Unit (ECU) is supplied from the aircraft electrical
power when the engine is shut down or when N2<15%. The Permanent
Magnet Alternator (PMA) supplies the ECU when the engine is running
and N2>15%.
The FADEC is automatically de-powered on the ground, through the

EIU, after engine shutdown.
ECU automatic de-powering on the ground:
- five minutes after aircraft power up,
- five minutes after engine shut down.
Note that releasing the ENGine FIRE P/B out provides ECU power cut
off from the aircraft network.
POWERING N2<15%
Each channel is independently supplied by the aircraft 28 VDC through
the Engine Interface Unit (EIU). At initial A/C power-up, both engine
ECUs are supplied with aircraft power for 5 minutes.
Aircraft 28 VDC is used for:
- power-up check of the Full Authority Digital Engine Control (FADEC)
before engine start,
- engine starting,
- powering the ECU while the engine is running below 15% N2.
Note that the EIU takes its power from the same bus bar as ECU.
U3T06191 - U13T2M0 - UM73D5CFM000001
POWERING N2>15%
As soon as engine is running above 15% of N2, the PMA is able to
directly supply the ECU.
The PMA supplies each channel with three-phase AC power. Two
transformer rectifiers provide 28 VDC power supply to channels A and
B.
Above 15% of N2, the ECU logic automatically switches to PMA supply.
The supply from the aircraft network is cut off through the EIU
de-powering function.
Note that in case of PMA failure, the ECU will automatically receive, as
back-up, the 28 VDC power from the aircraft network through the EIU.

FADEC GROUND POWER PANEL

For maintenance purposes and MCDU engine tests, the ENGine FADEC
GrouND PoWeR P/B on the MAINTenance panel (50VU) permits
FADEC power supply to be restored on the ground with engine shut
down.
When the corresponding ENGine FADEC GrouND PoWeR P/B is pressed
ON the ECU receives its power supply again. The ECU will be
de-powered after 5 minutes of the engine shutdown to allow the engine
parameters monitoring.
Also note that the FADEC is repowered as soon as the engine start selector
is selected to CRANK or IGNition START or the MASTER switch is
selected ON.

THRUST LIMIT MODE
U3T06191 - U13T2M0 - UM76D1CFM000001
The throttle levers are used as thrust limit mode selectors. Depending
on the throttle lever position, a thrust limit mode is selected and
appears on the upper ECAM display.
If the throttle levers are set between two detent points, the upper detent
will determine the thrust limit mode.
The thrust limit modes are: Climb (CL), Flexible Take Off or
Maximum Continuous Thrust (FLX/MCT), or Take Off Go Around
(TOGA).

INTRODUCTION
U3T06191 - U13T2M0 - UM77D2CFM000001
The engine monitoring is carried out by means of the Electronic Control

Unit (ECU) and the vibration monitoring system with a display on the
ECAM.
The ECU receives engine inlet condition data from the Air Data/Inertial
Reference System (ADIRS), operational commands from the Engine
Interface Unit (EIU), and monitoring parameters from the various
dedicated engine sensors.

VIBRATION PARAMETERS DESCRIPTION
U3T06191 - U13T2M0 - UM77D2CFM000001
The No. 1 bearing sensor is formed by an accelerometer located at

9:00 o'clock position on No. 1 and No .2 bearing support and a sensor
cable that is routed through the fan frame. The No. 1 bearing vibration
sensor permanently monitors the vibrations from No. 1 bearing and
the vibrations from LPT and High Pressure Turbine (HPT) shafts. It's
also used to the fan trim balance procedure.
The Turbine Rear Frame (TRF) vibration sensor is installed at 12
o'clock on the front flange of the TRF. The TRF vibration sensor is
used as back-up of N1 bearing accelerometer to monitor and, if
necessary, reduce the engine vibration level using the trim balance
procedure.
The aircraft EVMU uses the vibration and the rotational speed signals
to extract all the vibration signals and compute the position and the
amplitude of the unbalanced signals.
As normal vibration is depending on rotor speed, for each speed, the
EVMU processes the ratio actual value/maxi value. This ratio is
multiplied by 10 and is available on the EVMU output for display on
ECAM SD.
