The paper describes the design of the 80960 Fault Tolerant Engine Controller for the supervision of engine operations, which was designed for the NASA Marshall Space Center. Consideration is given to the major electronic components of the controller, including the engine controller, effectors, and the sensors, as well as to the controller hardware, the controller module and the communications module, and the controller software. The architecture of the controller hardware allows modifications to be made to fit the requirements of any new propulsion systems. Multiple flow diagrams are presented illustrating the controller's operations.
