10 EECU Software Update
To allow EECU software updates to be performed in the field by qualified maintenance per-
sonnel, the AE300-Wizard includes this functionality required for “Field Loadable Software”
(as it is defined by the certifying authorities) starting with version 1.2.0.xxx.
Only trained, qualified maintenance personnel shall update EECU software in the field as it is
critical to understand the upgrade process and to decide, if the upgrade process has com-
pleted successfully and the engine may be released into service. Under no circumstances an
engine shall be released with just a partial or unsuccessful software update.
The AE300-Wizard performs pre and post update checks as well as automatic retries to help
and guide the maintenance technician through the update process and final decision making.
Both the new EECU software and update instructions for the AE300-Wizard are contained in
a single file, called “Flash Container (FCT)”. This FCT file will be distributed to the field or-
ganization to update their aircraft’s engines using the AE300-Wizard. The following naming
conventions are used for the FCT file:
“E4FCT_rr_VCxx_t_yy_ds.ae3” (e.g. E4FCT_01_VC33_0_05_18.ae3)
○
E4FCT
Flash container for E4 or E4P engine
○
rr
Revision of flash container (e.g. “01”)
○
VCxx
Major revision of ECU SW (e.g. “VC33”)
○
t
Engine type (e.g. “0” for E4-B/DA42, “1” for E4-A/DA40)
○
yy
Minor revision of ECU SW (e.g. “05”)
○
ds
Data set revision of ECU SW (“e.g. “18”)

10.1
Minimum Requirements
The following items are required to perform field updates of the EECU software:
-
Full installation of AE300-Wizard version 1.3.4.xxx or higher.
-
CAN-USB Adapter QM” to unlock “Qualified maintenance mode”, see chapter “3.2.2
USB/CAN Adapter” for ordering information.
-
The FCT file for the engine type to be updated e.g. “
E4FCT_01_VC33_0_05_16.ae3
” for
an E4-B (DA42 A/C) data set revision 16. The data set revision has to be at least 16 as a
minimum requirement.
10.2
Overview of the Software Update Process
The EECU software update process consists of the following phases which are performed by
using the new AE300-Wizard «Update SW» tab:
-
Set up the aircraft for a diagnosis session as described in chapter “6.3.2 Engine not
Running” on page 20.
The estimated time to perform the update depends on the flash container (FCT) type. If
the FCT includes only new SW configuration data the update time will be about 5
minutes per engine including the required operator’s actions (pure data transfer time is
about 1 minute).
If the flash container (FCT) involves the complete ECU SW (e.g. when upgrading from
VC33.5 to VC33.6) the update time will be about 8 minutes per engine including the re-
quired operator’s actions (pure data transfer time is about 4 min).
