<p>The present application includes a distributed ice protection system that utilizes a distributed control system with a server/client communication protocol to prevent single point failures, reduce affected system loss when a failure occurs, improve required maintenance turn around time, and provide a tailorable, interactive, integrated, cross platform solution for a variety of aircraft ice protection requirements. The distributed ice protection system includes master servers (111) and control modules (105) that are compatible with a variety of aircraft platforms. The control modules interface with individual anti-ice (107) and de-ice (109) hardware components on the aircraft.</p> |
