The Pratt and Whitney Digital Engine Services (DES) team developed the Data Collection and Transmission Unit (DCTU) application to communicate with the DCTU hardware on the PT6 E-Series™ engine using wireless connection to perform maintenance actions such as:
– View/Change electronic engine control (EEC) and DCTU parameters
– Retrieve Events, Exceedances & Faults (EEF)
– Retrieve EEC diagnostics data via DCTU
– Monitor health status on DCTU
– Perform live data diagnostics on DCTU and EEC
– Perform test transmission from DCTU to the ground station
– Change engine modules by barcode scanning
– Change Line Replacement Units (LRUs) by barcode scanning
The DCTU hardware provides the capability for the operators to collect data in real-time, record the data to non-volatile memory, make connections to ground support equipment, either wired or wirelessly, and offload data to the ground support equipment.
