 FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM ELECTRONIC
UNIT- CSEU

Two identical control system electronic units(CSEU)

are located in the main equipment center. Each
CSEU contains eight modules which include two
power supply modules (PSM) and six operating
modules. The six operating modules include
three spoiler control modules (SCM), a stabilizer
trim aileron lockout module (SAM), a rudder
ratio changer module (RRCM) and a yaw
damper module (YDM). The CSEUs operate
independently of each other and do not provide
a redundant or backup capability for each other
except for the SAM aileron lockout and mach
trim functions and the rudder ratio changer
function. Either PSM can provide all the power
requirements of the six operating modules in the
same CSEU but cannot provide power to the
.modules in the other CSEU
The CSEU modules perform control, failure
protection and fault indication functions for the
.aileron, spoiler, stabilizer and rudder systems
Modules are interchangeable between the left and
.right CSEUs
