    摘要: Vehicle systems and methods are provided for synchronizing control modules over a communications bus for synchrophasing propellers. A vehicle electrical system includes a communications bus, a bus control module to transmit a first message over the communications bus, a vehicle control module coupled to the bus control module to identify a first timestamp associated with the first message being transmitted in a first clock domain associated with the vehicle control module and provide a subsequent message to the bus control module including the first timestamp, and an actuator control module coupled to the communications bus to identify a second timestamp associated with the first message being received over the communications bus and determine an adjustment to synchronize a second clock domain associated with the actuator control module with the first clock domain based at least in part on a relationship between the first timestamp and the second timestamp.

    摘要: An aircraft propeller control system for an aircraft propeller (30) with adjustable blade angle has a blade angle feedback ring (104) and a sensor (112), one of which is mounted for rotation with the propeller. The blade angle feedback ring (104) moves longitudinally along with adjustment of the blade angle and has position markers (102) circumferentially spaced apart at distances that vary along a longitudinal axis. The sensor (112) is positioned adjacent the feedback ring (104) for producing signals indicative of passage of the position markers (102). Intervals between signals are indicative of circumferential distances between position markers (102). A controller (115) measures longitudinal position of the feedback ring (104) based on the intervals and is configured to produce a warning signal if the longitudinal position is outside a first threshold range.

    摘要: System (1) for reducing vibrations in the cabin of an air-craft driven by two or more propellers each having n blades, where n is an integer equal or larger than 2, of which the relative phase angle can be adjusted, said system comprising synchrophase means (2) for adjusting said relative phase angle such that a predetermined relative phase angle is maintained. The system furthermore comprises means (3) supplying information about the vibration level at one or more positions within the cabin or information related thereto and for generating a corresponding vibration level signal, and a control unit (4) which in response to said vibration level signal supplies an error signal to the synchrophase means (2) causing the synchrophase means to adjust the blades of the various propellers such that a new relative phase angle is maintained which differs m.(2π/n) radians, where m is an integer, from the previous relative phase angle. Each propeller comprises at least one recognising means (60, 61) attached to one of its propeller blades, the recognising means (60, 61) being detectable by a sensor (35, 36) in order to establish the absolute position of the various propeller blades.

    摘要: Herein provided are systems and methods for synchrophasing multi-engine aircraft. A phonic wheel (204) is coupled to a first propeller (130) of a first engine (110) of the aircraft. A sensor (212) is disposed and configured for producing a signal in response to passage of first and second position markers (420) on the phonic wheel (204). A control system (220) is communicatively coupled to the sensor (212) for obtaining the signal, and configured for: determining an expected delay between two subsequent signal pulses of the signal; identifying from within the plurality of signal pulses a particular pulse associated with the second position marker (420); determining, based on a particular time at which the particular pulse associated with the second position marker (420) was produced, that a rotational position of the first propeller (130) corresponds to a reference position at the particular time; and performing at least one synchrophasing operation for the aircraft based on the rotational position of the first propeller (130).
