FAULT TOLERANT ELECTRONIC CONTROL ARCHITECTURE FOR AIRCRAFT ACTUATION SYSTEM

摘要

An electronic control architecture for an aircraft actuation system may include a first channel and a second channel. The first channel may be configured to receive one or more inputs comprising a movement command, to produce an output to control a component of the system, and to receive feedback from the component respective of movement of the component. The first channel may comprise a fault detection module configured to compare the feedback to the command to determine if the first channel is functioning properly. The second channel may be configured to receive the one or more inputs and, if the first channel is not functioning properly, to produce an output to control the component.

1. A control architecture for an aircraft system, comprising:
a first channel configured to receive one or more inputs comprising a movement command, to produce an output to control movement of a component of said system based on the inputs, and to receive feedback from the component respective of the movement of the component, the first channel comprising a fault detection module configured to compare the feedback to the command to determine if the first channel is functioning properly; and a second channel configured to receive the one or more inputs and, if the first channel is not functioning properly, to produce an output to control movement of the component.
