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

FADEC ARCHITECTURE (1)

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.

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).

BASIC INFORMATION
Some basic information about Engine Thrust Management is shown in
this module.
PREDICTED N1
The predicted N1 is indicated by a white circle in case of classic
ECAM version and by a blue circle in case of enhanced ECAM
version, on the N1 indicator and corresponds to the value determined
by the Throttle Lever Angle (TLA).

THRUST LIMIT MODE
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).

engine parameters and sends it to the Electronic Control Unit (ECU).

N1 COMMAND
The N1 command, used to regulate the fuel flow, is the FMGC N1
target when the A/THR function is active.
When the A/THR function is not active, the N1 command is the N1
corresponding to the TLA.

AUTOTHRUST CONTROL MODE
The A/THR function is engaged manually when the A/THR P/B is
selected or automatically at take off power application.
AUTOTHURST ACTIVE
When engaged, the A/THR function becomes active when the throttle
levers are set to CLimb detent after take off. The N1 command is the
FMGC N1 target.
A/THR function is normally active when the throttle levers are set
between IDLE and CLimb (including CLimb).
The A/THR active range is extended to MCT in the case of single
engine operation.
When the throttle levers are set between two detent points, the N1
command is limited by the throttle lever position.
Note: In Alpha Floor condition the A/THR function becomes active
automatically. The N1 target is TOGA.

INTRODUCTION
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.

and transmits the corresponding signals to the Engine Vibration
Monitoring Unit (EVMU) and the ECU. The N1 rotational speed
indication is shown in the ECAM EWD by a needle and a N1 digital
indication display.
The N2 speed sensor is installed at 6:30 o'clock on the Accessory
Gearbox (AGB) rear face. The N2 speed sensor detects the rotational
speed of the HP rotor assembly and transmits the signal to the EVMU
and the ECU. The N2 rotational speed is indicated in the ECAM EWD.

LPT SECTION PARAMETERS DESCRIPTION
The engine EGT is sensed and averaged by 9 thermocouple probes
located in the T49.5 plane of Low Pressure Turbine (LPT) stage-2
nozzle assembly. The actual engine EGT is displayed in the ECAM
EWD by a needle and an EGT digital indication.

FUEL FLOW PARAMETER DESCRIPTION
The FF transmitter (XMTR) is mounted at 4 o'clock on the engine
next to the AGB and does not require an electrical power input. The
maximum flow across this XMTR is 6360 kg/hr (14000 lb/hr). The
FF is shown in the ECAM EWD by a FF digital indication.

SECONDARY PARAMETERS
The engine secondary monitoring parameters are displayed on the ECAM
lower SD when it is selected manually or automatically.
The engine secondary parameters that appear permanently in the ECAM
ENGINE page are:
- fuel used indication,
- oil quantity indication,
- oil pressure indication,
- oil temperature indication,
- ignition indication,
- start valve position indication,
- engine bleed pressure,
- vibration indication.
The engine secondary parameters non permanently displayed on the SD
are:
- oil filter clog indication,
- fuel filter clog indication,
- nacelle temperature indication.
On the enhanced system, the same information is provided with a different
display presentation.
Fuel used, oil quantity and vibration indications are also displayed on
U3T06191 - U13T2M0 - UM77D2CFM000001
the ECAM CRUISE page.

SECONDARY PARAMETERS (continued)
OIL PARAMETERS DESCRIPTION
The oil quantity XMTR is located in the oil tank. It is displayed on
ECAM SD.
The oil pressure XMTR is located on the lubrication unit outlet line.
It is displayed on ECAM SD.
An oil temperature sensor for the Engine Condition Monitoring (signal
to EIU) is located on the main oil pressure filter housing of the
lubrication unit, downstream of the pressure pump oil system. It is
displayed on the ECAM SD.
An oil differential pressure switch (also named oil clogging switch)
is installed on the lubrication unit. The pressure switch signal is used
by the ECAM system to generate the main oil filter clog indication
when the oil differential pressure across this filter is comprised
between 29 psig (2 bar) and 33 psig (2.28 bar).
An engine oil temperature sensor for the Integrated Drive Generator
(IDG) cooling system control (signal to ECU) is located above the oil
tank.

VIBRATION PARAMETERS DESCRIPTION
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.

FUEL PARAMETERS DESCRIPTION
The fuel used value computed by the Full Authority Digital Engine
Control (FADEC) is displayed in green on the ECAM SD.
A CLOG message appears in amber, associated with an ECAM
message only when the differential pressure across the fuel filter is
excessive.
