4. FUNCTIONAL USE DESCRIPTION
The power unit
(Figure 2)
is the central hub of the FutureDrive system.
In addition to the AC power connectors for the hand control and drive motor,
the power unit also offers the following connectors:
1. Composite video IN/OUT and S-Video IN/OUT: the power unit can
overlay information about the engine, stage and blade onto the signal
from a video borescope. Plug the video output from the borescope
into one of the power unit’s composite video or S-video IN jacks and
connect a cable from the power unit’s composite video or S-video
OUT jack to a monitor or video recorder.
2. USB: To install software updates or upgrades to a Future- Drive,
Rhinestahl will provide a PC software package that will upgrade
the unit via a USB cable. This can be used to add new features or
additional engine models. The hand control must be connected to the
power unit via its own cable when the update is in progress.
3. Use the USB port to connect the turning tool system with a
communication capable borescope. An XML output on the serial port
for Engine/Stage/Blade/Flag information shall appear on the device.
1. For the borescope system:
• Send command ‘e1’ to enable the output from the turning
tool system to the borescope
• Send command ‘e0’ to turn off the output from the turning
tool system to the borescope
2. The live output is as follows:
• Stage number data
• Blade number data
