<p>A turbine engine monitoring system is provided which disposes a data storage device (40) in permanent association with an engine being monitored. The data storage device (40) comprises an electrically erasable programmable read-only memory (120) which is contained in an enclosure (80, 110) and permanently attached to the engine. A connection link (122) is provided to connect the memory device (40) in signal communication with an external device, such as an engine control unit (44). The engine control unit (44) is connected in signal communication with a plurality of transducers (30, 32) that enable the engine control unit (44) to monitor the operational status of a plurality of parameters relating to the turbine engine. By permanently attaching the data storage device (40) to the turbine engine, a lifetime information of the turbine engine can be maintained in permanent association with the turbine engine regardless of replacement of the turbine engine or its related engine control unit (44).</p> |
