Abstract

A method for handling a simultaneous failure of all channels of a multi-channel engine controller configured to control operation of a gas turbine engine is provided. The method includes obtaining, by a first processor associated with a first channel of the engine controller, data indicative of the simultaneous failure of all channels of the engine controller. The method further includes providing, by the first processor, one or more control signals associated with resetting at least a second processor associated with a second channel of the multi-channel engine controller based, at least in part, on the data. Furthermore, the method includes controlling, by the first processor, operation of the gas turbine engine while at least the second processor is resetting.

Description

[0001] Federally Funded Research [0002] This invention was made with Government support under Contract N00019-04-C-0093 awarded by US Naval Air Systems Command. The government may have certain rights in this invention. technical field [0003] The subject matter generally relates to methods for handling simultaneous failure of all channels of a multi-channel engine controller configured to control operation of a gas turbine engine. More specifically, the subject matter relates to a method of resetting each channel of a multi-channel engine controller without experiencing a gas turbine engine control failure. Background technique [0004] A gas turbine engine on an aircraft typically includes a compressor section, a combustion section, a turbine section and an exhaust section in serial flow. In operation, air enters the inlet of the compressor section where one or more compressors gradually compress the air until it reaches the combustion section. Fuel is mixed with comp...
