Description
Summary:A novel graphic computer tool to generate decentralized fuel control system for avionics is introduced. As a result of a European Community Research Project, a new distributed fuel management system involving fieldbus has been proposed, implemented and tested. Some different target fuel system configurations for aircrafts can be considered and according to their mission, could have more or less tanks and components in the system. For each case, the control code of the distributed system must be quickly modified. Then it can be injected into each field device to operate in the system. This paper focuses on a graphic computer tool that makes easy the control software development together with automatic code generation. This paper describes the main ideas of the new distributed avionic system and the graphical tool. Some experimental results in a laboratory physical simulator are also shown.
