JetCat ECU features Version 10.00
Powerful 16/32-bit latest generation microcontroller
with substantial program and data memory.
The ECU can be turned on without powering up the
receiver to read data or make adjustments.
When the turbine is stopped the ECU enters a
cooling process. During that time, the receiver can
be immediately powered off. The ECU remains on
monitoring the cooling process and will switch itself
off after it is complete.
The starter motor is run at a constant speed during
the turbine cooling process. This reduces the wear of the starter coupling.
The settings for the startup pump voltage are eliminated.
The fuel pump type is automatically detected and displayed.
Integrated R/C system fail-safe analysis and display of the number and duration of any faults. After
landing, the R/C system communication quality can be assessed.
Programmable fail-safe behavior. The hold times and failsafe reaction time can be programmed.
RS232 interface for PC connectivity
Turbine control using either one or two transmitter channels
Direct start and control of the turbine from the GSU terminal without the R/C transmitter.
Support for parallel connected turbines (multi engine models)
With an optional smoke system, the ECU can be programmed to generate warnings for low battery
voltage, low fuel or Fail Safe.
Built-in data logger functions. The data for the last 17 minutes of operation will be stored at a
resolution of one sample per second and can be read by the optional PC software. The data
remains stored even after a power failure. In addition, the last 8 seconds of operation before
shutdown of the turbine is stored with a resolution of 0.2 seconds. This allows for accurate fault
diagnosis.
Input for an optional airspeed sensor for measurement, control and limit
ing of the model’s
airspeed.
Global Position System (GPS) interface for the optional
JetCat
GPS receiver. A highly accurate
measurement and display of maximum ground speed, route distance, maximum altitude, maximum
flight radius and maximum G-force of the model, etc.
Advanced test and diagnostic functions for pump, valves and sensors.
Significantly expanded Information and Min / Max menus.
Tolerant error detection for the turbine sensors. If a sensor fails the turbine does not immediately
shut off but activates an emergency operation mode that may enable a safe landing. After landing,
a restart is only possible after troubleshooting the error.
