Actuator Control \ Engine Interface Unit (EIU)GE produces modular and custom servo-control electronics for electro-hydraulic and electro-mechanical actuators for primary and secondary flight control and utility-system management. From simple linear, fixed-gain designs, to sophisticated, completely digital fault-tolerant systems with pulse-width modulated output stages, GE' modular designs may be embedded in the VMC or deployed as independent remote units. Model 2977A1 Engine Interface Unit: Triple-redundant Engine Interface Units (EIU) perform the following functions:
The intelligent EIUs perform all redundancy management functions for fail-operational service, and the pulse-width modulated outputs that operate brushless DC motors are equalized to moderate the inter-unit control competition. |

Model 2977A1 Engine Interface Unit: Triple-redundant Engine Interface Units (EIU) perform the following functions:
The interface between engine sensors and the primary flight computers (VMCs)
The interface between the Digital Electronic Engine Control and the primary flight computers
Statically redundant position control of the engine throttle actuator
The intelligent EIUs perform all redundancy management functions for fail-operational service, and the pulse-width modulated outputs that operate brushless DC motors are equalized to moderate the inter-unit control competition.
