Abstract
In an electromechanical actuation chain for controlling the movement of mobile loads of an aircraft turbine engine, from a control unit, one or more of these mobile loads being actuated by an electromechanical actuator, there is provided for control of this movement a single Ethernet controller having deterministic control that uses an Ethernet bus to control a set of converters acting selectively on the electromechanical actuators.
Claims10
An electromechanical actuation chain for controlling the movement of mobile loads of an aircraft turbine engine, from a control unit, one or more of said mobile loads being actuated by an electromechanical actuator, wherein, to control said movement, the electromechanical actuation chain further comprises a single Ethernet controller having deterministic control that uses an Ethernet bus to send instructions to control a set of converters acting selectively on said electromechanical actuators, said deterministic control includes, for each instruction, a provision of an exact time needed for transmission thereof by the Ethernet controller.
