(b) Specification
Additional characteristics of the ECU digital output data buses are as follows:
Additional characteristics of the ECU digital output data buses are as follows:
1 Continuity
The ECU transmission is continuous on all the output buses in normal operation irrespective of which channel is in control. The data transmission is inhibited when the processor in the applicable channel is not functioning, during power-up or power-down transients, and during channel initialization.
After initialization, the ECU tranmits all the labels continuously, including when in maintenace menu mode. The ECU initialization is completed within 3 seconds when N2 is less than 890 rpm. Above 890 N2 rpm, the initialization is accomplished in less than or equal to 750 ms. The normal ECU ARINC transmission will begin as soon as initialization has been completed.
Following a power interruption/transient greater than 5 ms or a commanded reset when above 890 N2 rpm, the ECU ARINC outputs resume normal transmission in less than 750 ms following the interruption, transient or reset.

2 Synchronization
The two ARINC output buses on a given ECU channel are not synchronized. The same set of ARINC labels are transmitted in the same order but are not synchronized to the same frame. Channel to channel ARINC bus synchronization may not be possible due to initialization constraints.
The two ARINC output buses on a given ECU channel are not synchronized. The same set of ARINC labels are transmitted in the same order but are not synchronized to the same frame. Channel to channel ARINC bus synchronization may not be possible due to initialization constraints.
3 Output Differences
No output differences exist in the two buses on each channel unless an ARINC tansmitter is incorrect. In most cases, parameter values from sensors output by the two separate ECU channels will be slightly different but will be within signal tolerance requirements. Data which is specific to a channel, such as fault and maintenance data, may differ from channel to channel.

4 Channel Switchover Effect
Channel switchover does not affect the output data of the ECU with the exception of the status indication for the channel in control, items specific to channel in control (such as some ARINC output bits) and whatever faults caused the switchover.

5 ARINC Wrap Around Data Verification
The aircraft ARINC output data bus 1 is verified for data integrity by means of looping the output data bus to an internal, dedicated ARINC input port within each ECU channel. Specified output data is read by the ECU and compared with the corresponding software buffer. Each channel reads the SDI, SM, data and parity for the following output labels every 240 ms.

6 Parametric Data
There are three types of parametric data output on the ARINC 429 data bus. The first is local channel data (calculated or sensed). This data is output to the ARINC bus with no cross-channel communication of parameters. Examples of this type of data include the following:
T12, TECU, solenoid and torque motor commands.
The second type of data is calculated from multiple sources and is called selected data. This data depends on inputs from the local and cross-channel and may be influenced from Air Data Computer 1 or 2 inputs. If the cross-channel communication bus is not functioning, the output parameters will be identical in both channels. If either single sensor faults occur, or the cross-channel is not functioning, the output parameters may be different due to the different resources available to each channel. Parameters of this type used by the aircraft are N1, N2, T495, TEO and thrust reverser position.
The third type of data is from signals with only one sensing element. When the cross-channel communication bus is functioning, the ARINC 429 output bus contains identical values for this type of parameter. When the cross-channel is not functioning, the channel without the direct access to the sensing element will output the last value before the cross-channel communication failure.
There are two ARINC 429 data buses per channel to transmit engine data to the aircraft.

(3) Data Validation and Selection Logic
The ECU performs validation test and selection logic between data coming from ADIRU and data from engine sensor, with the requirement that ADIRU inputs are preferred over engine sensor inputs, and used for rating calculations, otherwise engine sensor values will be used.
As an exception to that rule and only for operational purpose, it is acceptable that in case of complete loss of FADEC air data sensor, the corresponding value from the remaining ADIRU will be used.
The involved air data parameters used to validate Po, PT, TAT and calculate Mo, altitude, ambient temperature used in power management and engine control are:

C. EIU/ECU Interface
(1) General
(a) EIU Presentation
Two EIU's are fitted on each aircraft, one for engine 1, one for engine 2. Each EIU located in the electronics bay is an interface concentrator between the airframe and the corresponding ECU located on the engine, reducing thus the number of wires. EIU's are active at least from engine starting to engine shutdown, they are essential to start the engine.
The main functions of the EIU are:

EIU's are active at least from engine starting to engine shutdown, they are essential to start the engine.
The main functions of the EIU are:
- to concentrate data from cockpit panels and different electronic boxes to the associated ECU on each engine,
- to insure the segregation of the two engines,
- to select the airframe electrical supplies for the FADEC,
- to give to the airframe the necessary logic and information from engine to other systems (APU, ECS, Bleed Air, Maintenance).
(b) EIU/ECU Interface
Data link arrangement between EIU and ECU is shown in
Data link arrangement between EIU and ECU is shown in
1 EIU input from the ECU
The EIU acquires two ARINC 429 output data buses from the associated ECU (one from each channel) and it reads data from the channel in control. When some data are not available on the channel in control, data from the other channel are used.
The EIU will use Label 275 bit 26 and 27 on the ECU ARINC output buses to determine which channel is in control.
In the case where EIU is not able to identify the channel in control because of wrong setting of these bits, it will assume Channel A as in control.
The EIU will look at particular engine data on the ECU digital data flow to interface them with other aircraft computers and with engine cockpit panels.

The E/WD is dedicated to the primary engine parameters and engine warning messages, and the SD is dedicated to the propulsion system parameters when the engine system page is called either automatically or manually.
(b) Aircraft Display Management Computer
Each ECAM Display Management Computer (DMC) interfaces with the engine through ARINC 429 data buses to access current engine system status information. In normal operation, DMC1 drives the E/WD and DMC2 drives the SD. The DMCs utilize engine information from the ECU channel in control. Parameters which are not available (not refreshed or with invalid SSM) in the channel in control are picked up from the other channel. The DMCs utilize an ARINC update time limit of either 500 ms or three times the nominal transmit interval for all ECU system parameters, whichever is the longer. When the DMC1 is lost, it can be replaced by the DMC3 after a manual transfer; DMC3 can also replace the DMC2.

An exception to this is N1 peak, N2 peak, EGT peak when greater than redline which is memorized as long as there is no DMC power interrupt; and fuel used is memorized at the engine power interrupt,
- the Status Matrix "Functional Test" is considered invalid, except when ECU menu mode test is enabled,
- some parameters limits are memorized in the DMC,
- the Status Matrix "Non-computed Data" is considered by the DMC as non valid for all the parameters.
(4) Cockpit Propulsion System Warnings and Status
The propulsion system warnings and status are generated by the FWC. Class 1 and 2 faults are displayed by the FWC.
Detailed FWC logic is provided by the A/C manufacturer, for each FWC logic evolution; furthermore the FWC logic gives the inhibit phases. The warnings and the status are generated by the FWC based on current fault statuses transmitted from the ECU to the FWC, on the ARINC 429 data bus.
The warning activation leads to the display of the alarm.
All other procedure messages are qualified by the warning activation condition, and are not displayed unless the activation is present even if the conditions are satisfied.

(a) Centralized Fault Display System (CFDS)
The ECAM and CFDS apply different criteria for the display and report generation of fault data depending on the fault class.
For all class 1 (2) faults, the FWCs transmit the corresponding warnings and cautions (maintenance status) (displayed on the ECAM Display Units) to the CFDS for immediate transmission to the ACARS, and for the composition of the current leg or last leg ECAM report.
For scheduled maintenance faults, the faults are transmitted to the CFDS in menu mode only.

(b) FWC Flight Phase Inhibition
The FWC calculates an aircraft flight phase for use in the warning message logic. This is applied as an inhibit during specific phases. This flight phase calculation is similar to that performed by the CFDIU, but is entirely independent. Consequently, there may be differences between the FWC flight phase state and the CFDIU state that is input to the ECU on the EIU label 126.

(2) Interface
(a) Throttle Lever Angle (TLA) signal
TLA signals are sensed from resolvers rotated as a function of throttle lever positions.
Electrical characteristics are as follows:
The TLA resolver is a dual quadrant resolver which works in the first quadrant for positive angles and in the fourth quadrant for negative angles.
Therefore the TLA sine and cosine winding outputs are in phase with the excitation for resolver angle within 0 deg. to 90 deg. range of angle.
In the -90 deg. to 0 deg. range of angles the cosine output and the excitation are in phase and the sine output out of phase.

NOTE: - resolver has copper windings.
There are two throttle resolvers per throttle lever, each dedicated to one channel of the ECU. Electrical excitation is provided by the ECU (one excitation output per channel). - the wire is gauge 24 in the aircraft and gauge 20 in the nacelle.
- all characteristics must be met over the entire operating temperature range of the resolver.
The TLA resolver is a dual quadrant resolver which works in the first quadrant for positive angles and in the fourth quadrant for negative angles.
Therefore the TLA sine and cosine winding outputs are in phase with the excitation for resolver angle within 0 deg. to 90 deg. range of angle.
In the -90 deg. to 0 deg. range of angles the cosine output and the excitation are in phase and the sine output out of phase.
