ECU
Engine Control Unit — Standard

OVERVIEW


Complete fuel delivery, ignition, thermal and drivetrain control solutions delivering desired thrust or power.
Customizable to any target application- aerospace, automotive/off-road, marine, power generation-the Rockwell Collins Engine Control Unit (ECU) provides the best solution for your engine control needs.

With the standard ECU, our engineers have maximized power and fuel economy targets across a wide range of operating and environmental conditions on both 2- and 4-stroke power plants. Our ECU provides the end-user with unsurpassed flexibility ranging from an adaptable mixture control for a variety of fuels all the way to a fully automated drive-by-wire and single-lever power controls solution.


Key benefits
  • Closed-loop Real-Time Health and Usage Monitoring System that assures the engine is operating within allowable limits, performs diagnostics and prognostics
  • Robustness to uncertainties, including abnormal environmental and operating conditions
  • Compensates for engine wear and tear, ensuring allowable thermal limits at all times (CHT, EGT, TIT, coolant, oil, turbos, etc.)
