System Description (Cont’.)

Throttle Control Unit

A mechanical rod transmits the throttle control lever movement. It connects the
throttle artificial feel unit to the input lever of the throttle control unit. The throttle
control unit comprises:

• An input lever.
• Mechanical stops, which limit the angular range.
• 2 resolvers (one resolver per FADEC (ECU/EEC).
• 6 potentiometers installed three by three.
• A device, which drives the resolver and the potentiometer.
• A pin device for rigging the resolver and potentiometers.
• 1 switch whose signal is dedicated to the EIU.
• 2 output electrical connectors.

The input lever drives two gear sectors assembled face to face. Each sector
drives itself a set of one resolver and three potentiometers. The relationship
between the throttle lever angle and throttle resolver angle (TRA) IS LINEAR
AND 1ºTLA = 1.9 TRA. The accuracy of the throttle control unit (error between
the input lever position and the resolver angle) is 0.5ºTRA.

The maximum discrepancy between the signals generated by two resolvers is


0.25ºTRA.

The TLA resolver operates in two quadrants. The first quadrant is used for
positive angles and the second quadrant for negative angles. Each resolver is
dedicated to one FADEC channel (ECU / EEC) and receives its electrical
excitation current (6 VAC) from the related FADEC channel (ECU / EEC).

The ECU considers a throttle resolver angle value:

• Less than -47.5ºTRA.


• Greater than 98.8ºTRA as resolver position signal failure.

The ECU includes a resolver fault accommodation logic. This logic allows
engine operation after a failure or a complete loss of the throttle resolver position
signal.

System Description (Cont’.)

Bump Function

If an airline requests the bump function, this function is selected in the aircraft
by guarded pushbutton switch with TLA at TOGA position (one on each throttle
control lever).

With this switch, a signal can be sent to both FADEC units at the same time
through the Engine Interface Unit (EIU).

Thrust bump can be used to obtain additional thrust capability during takeoff. It
can be used either with two engines or in single engine operation.

With the throttle levers at TOGA and the Bump P/B pushed, 'B' appears on the
right side of the EPR/N1 dial on the EWD.

System Description (Cont’.)

ENG/MASTER Control Switch

The ENG/MASTER control switch has an interface with:

• The Integrated Fuel Pump and Control (IFPC).


• The LP fuel shut-off valve.
• The Engine Interface Unit (EIU).
• The Engine Electronic Control (EEC).
• The G/Y hydraulic power transfer system.

It controls the closure of the fuel shut-off valve via the EEC.

A discrete signal informs the EEC of the position of the ENG/MASTER control
switch.

In parallel, a discrete signal informs the EIU of the position of the MASTER
control switch.

The EIU then transmits the information to the EEC in digital form.

The EEC uses the two MASTER control switch discrete signals to determine
the position of the MASTER lever switch.

If there is a disagreement between the two discrete signals, the EIU digital
signal is considered.

The EEC uses this information in addition to the ENG/MODE selector switch
position and manual start pushbutton switch to control the starting sequence
(See AMM D/O 80-11-00-00).

LP Fuel Shut-Off Valve Control

The LP fuel shut-off valve is electrically controlled:

• by the ENG/MASTER control switch on the ENG panel, or


• by the ENG FIRE pushbutton switch

76-10 POWER CONTROL


General

The engine thrust is controlled under the management of the Electronic


Engine Controller (EEC).

The engine thrust can be set:

• Manually from the throttle control lever.


• Automatically from the Auto Flight System (AFS).

The engine thrust parameters are displayed on the ECAM.

The main thrust monitoring parameter is the N1 speed (LP shaft).

The main thrust demand parameter is the engine Fuel Flow (FF).

Autothrust Modes

The A/THR function is engaged manually when the A/THR P/B is selected or
automatically at take-off power application.

Automatic Thrust Setting Mode (the autothrust function is active)

When engaged, the A/THR function becomes active when the throttle levers
are set to CLimb detent after take-off.

The N1 command is the FMGC N1 target.

The A/THR function is normally active when the throttle levers are set between
IDLE and CLimb (including CLimb).

The A/THR active range is extended to MCT in the case of single engine
operation.

When the throttle levers are set between two detent points, the N1 command is
limited by the throttle lever position.

NOTE: Note: In case of Alpha Floor detection, the A/THR function becomes
active automatically and the N1 target is to TOGA.

Autothrust Modes (Cont.’)

Automatic Thrust Setting Mode (the autothrust function is NOT active)

When engaged, the A/THR function becomes inactive when the throttle levers
are set above CLimb with both engines running.

In this case, the N1 command corresponds to the N1 throttle (TLA).

NOTE: The A/THR function is inactive above MCT in case of single engine
operation. The A/THR function is disengaged when the throttle levers are set at
IDLE stop.

Thrust Control Malfunction

The Thrust Control Malfunction (TCM) is a FADEC protection function against


un-commanded and uncontrollable excessive power excursion in which the
normal thrust control becomes inoperative.

NOTE: The FADEC logic uses TCM permission data from FMGCs to FCU to
automatically reduce engine thrust during flare.

Thrust Limit Modes

The throttle levers are used as thrust limit mode selectors.

Depending on the throttle lever position, a thrust limit mode is selected and
appears on the upper ECAM display.

If the throttle levers are set between two detent points, the upper detent will
determine the thrust limit mode.

An additional Soft Go-Around (SGA) mode is available.

It is automatically selected if during approach, the TOGA detent is set and the
thrust levers are then moved back to the FLX/MCT detent.

NOTE:
• On the ground with the engines running, the displayed N1 rate limit
corresponds to the TO/GA thrust limit whatever the thrust lever position
is.
• On the ground with the engines running and if FLEX mode is selected,
FLEX N1 is displayed whenever the thrust lever position is between
IDLE and FLX/MCT.

N1 Limit

For each thrust limit mode selection, an N1 rating limit is computed by the EEC
according to Thrust Lever Angle (TLA) and the air data parameters from the Air
Data Inertial and Reference Units (ADIRUs).

This indication is displayed in green on the upper ECAM display near the thrust
limit mode indication.

Predicted N1

The predicted N1 is indicated by a blue circle on the N1 indicator and


corresponds to the value determined by the TLA.

Actual N1

The actual N1 is the actual value given by the N1 speed sensor and is used
as a reference for the engine thrust control loop.

This actual N1 is displayed in green on the N1 indicator.

N1 Command

The N1 command, used to regulate the fuel flow, is: N1 Target.

N1 Target

In A/THR mode, the FMGCs compute an N1 target according to the AFS


command, the air data and the engine parameters and send this demand to the
EECs.
