The EDC-33 (Engine Data Converter) is sometimes referred to as a Data Acquisition Unit (DAU) and has a broad range of applications. Its main purpose is to monitor the probes, transducers and sensors mounted on the engine and airframe. It then processes this data and outputs it on a serial bus. This allows a Display Unit or MFD to display the data without having to perform the intense processing required in a set timeframe.Also, annunciators and status switches can be monitored.
The EDC-33 Engine Data Converter can be used on piston, turboprop or jet aircraft as well as helicopters. If an EEC or FADC system needs to be monitored, check out our BC-5 (Bus Converter).
