1. System sweeps through the code every 20ms.Thus various sensor values are acquisitted
and checked for accuracy every 20ms thereby satisfying the demand for high precision
and instant error detection and correction.
2. Following table gives an description of how different modes are handled by the system.

When both P3 sensor value and P3 theoretical value are in error, control is shifted to the
next lane.

Fault detection
Isolation
1. Acquisition of data:
For our project we need the values of turbine pressure and airplane speed measured in
NLR. We input that data to DECU which is LPC2148 ARM microcontroller. We also need
the value of inlet pressure. However, we conveniently assume it as constant as
atmospheric pressure value. We need these values at every sample period(i.e. every
20ms)
2. Conversion of data:
To input turbine pressure and NLR to our DECU we need to represent them in the form
of voltage in the range of 0 to 3.3V.
3. Fault Detection:
When there is an error in the input parameters i.e. Turbine pressure or NLR .our model
immediately detects the fault
4. Fault Isolation:
Fault isolation is the practice of designing systems such that when there is fault, the
negative consequences are limited in scope. Limiting the scope of problems reduces the
potential for damage and makes systems easier to maintain.
We acquire P3 and NLR values every 20 ms and when there is a fault it is detected
immediately. These make Fault isolation possible
5. Fault correction:
Based on the the datasheet which gives the relation between P3/P1 ratio and NLR,
Weve developed an interpolated expression for P3 which acts as predictive model. So
whenever a fault is detected, P3 can thus be indirectly measured.
Our controller is lpc2148 ARM, We have developed an interrupt service routine which
sweeps through the instruction set every 20ms checking for P3,inspecting possible
errors etc. It also performs power on self-check, ADC self-check etc.
