Used for condition monitoring Interchangeable with Compressor Outlet Temperature sensors
Compressor Outlet Temperature Sensor (3)
(2) CTC (1) ASCPC At least one sensor must be valid or pack shut down occurs
Primary Heat Exchanger Inlet Temperature Sensor
Used for mass flow calculation
Flow schedules (0 - 4) ASCPC sets flow schedule that the CPC use to control air flow into packs
Flow schedule 0 (zero) signal from ASCPC to CTC Both pack flow control and shutoff valves close (Stall warning, ground air start) Flow schedule 1 gives largest airflow Flow schedule 4 gives the minimum to pressurize A/C and to operate packs Flow schedules operate only when engines supply packs
After a single engine start, pack does not operate until 2 minutes after startup (Pack OFF light will be ON)
If flow of one pack decreases (to keep pack operation in limit), CTC sends bias signal to other pack to increase flow
After a recirc fan failure pack flow increases
FWD or AFT cargo fire ARM increases pack flow
Pack takes 35 seconds to shut down permits condensed water to evaporate
Pack OFF light comes ON, if both Flow Control and Shutoff Valves are closed
Backup Flow Control by ASCPC If CTC fails ASCPC backup controls pack flow control Accurate zone temperature is not available UPR Flow Control and Shutoff Valve is closed through CTC ASCPC tries to keep pack discharge temperature to 4 deg (modulating lower flow control and shut off valve) High compressor discharge temperature or high pack outlet temperature cause pack shutdown (reset with pack switch or AIR COND RESET switch) ASCPC shutdown due to stall warning or manual shutdown by pack switch

12 Normal Pack operation mode Second Stage Turbine Bypass Valve controls pack discharge temperature LLV (Low Limit Valve) controls condensor inlet temperature >1 deg (first stage turbine outlet temperature) Compressor discharge temperature is controlled by ram air inlet and outlet flap ECON cooling check valve helps ACM to start (bypassing compressor)
Economy Cooling mode At high altitude during low flow condition the pack goes into ECON cooling mode (function of altitude and TAT) CTC signal via ELMS commands Economy Cooling valve to open (reheater and turbine 1 are bypassed) No FDE (not a failure mode) CTC signal via ELMS
Standby Cooling mode (Failure mode) Condensor inlet temperature failure (both sensors) Economy cooling valve failed in open position PACK MODE L/R status STBY COOLING write up appears next to pack symbol on Air Synoptic Page ACM failure (seized) Pack discharge temperature is controlled by inlet/outlet ram air doors (heatexchanger mode) At lower altitude pack may shutdown or cycle
All pack components are controlled by CTC LLV, TBV, ECV, Inlet/Exhaust door actuator
If pack discharge temperature is increasing and pack can not manage temperature, CTC sends bias signal to ASCPC to decrease bleed air temperature to 121 deg.

Pack Cooling and Mix Manifold Temperature control
CTC uses TVB for primary control of pack outlet temperature. LLV and Ram air door actuator operate if TVB is full open and CTC still must increase pack outlet temperature. RH CTC is primary controller of the mix manifold temperature. LH CTC follows as backup. QUICK SUMMARY B777

General function FMCF (flight management computing function) sends LNAV and VNAV data to the AFDCs TMCF (thrust management computing function) sends A/T data to the AFDCs PFCS (primary flight control system) receives commands from AFDCs and PFCs calculate and send surface commands to the ACE (actuator control electronics) ACEs receive surface position commands from the PFCs and send commands to the PCU (power control unit) PFCs also calculate and send backdrive commands to the AFDCs AFDCs receive backdrive actuator commands from the PFCs and send backdrive commands to the backdrive actuators to move the control
Only L AFDC and R AFDC can drive backdrive actuators LH or RH AFDC can be master Master is selected at power up (first pass) After every disengage/engage master is swapped

Backdrive Actuator (6) Backdrive Actuators Backdrive actuators move controls during autopilot operation and also during BAP function 2ea control wheel, column, pedals During cruise 2 backdrive actuators move control wheel/column During Autoland all 6 backdrive actuators move controls (Autoland engaged if: LOC and G/S captured and altitude 1500ft)
QUICK SUMMARY B777
20 The Backdrive Actuators are variable torquemotors and contain (2) Tachometers DC motor Engage clutch Override slip clutch
AFDC controls the motor current, this limits the force a backdrive actuator applies to the columns, wheels and rudder control column 50 lbs control wheel 27 lbs this override forces are necessary to disengage the autopilot
During Autoland (all 6 backdrive actuators engaged) forces are two times the force for a single force
If one backdrive actuator fails during autoland, the force limit of the remaining column actuator is two times as high if a rudder actuator fails the force does not increase
Backdrive actuators can be tested via MAT (Autofliht system tests)
AFDC (autopilot flight director computer) There are (3) AFDCs center AFDC does not connect to backdrive actuators
Each ARINC and discrete I/O section monitors and selects input signals each I/O section monitors signal validity first if validity check is good, signal is selected by 3 methods: - mid value selection of 3 signals (RA and ILS) - priority selection for signals with 2 sources (ADIRU; SAARU) - forced selection for AIMS data (AIMS tells AFDC which signal to use)
Each AFDC has 3 processors Processor A and B receive digital backdrive commands from the PFCs Processor C calculates the autopilot and flight director control laws Processor C also does this functions: - Test and data load - Engage/disengage logic - Failure detection/fault response monitor
