Abstract:
A controller for a cabin pressure control system for controlling actual pressure inside a cabin comprising:said controller being connected to a first sensor for measuring actual cabin pressure, an input unit for receiving information about atmosphere pressure or for receiving information about a pressure differential between actual cabin pressure and atmosphere pressure and information about additional critical parameters, a channel with a control for calculating an output signal based on the measured actual cabin pressure and the information received by the input unit, characterized in that said controller comprises a pressure differential safety function calculating an output signal based alone on the pressure differential between actual cabin pressure and atmosphere pressure, said safety function being connectable to a second sensor for measuring actual cabin pressure, and in that said safety function comprises a control for comparing the two output signals and selecting the output signal generated by the safety function if the output signal from said channel control is found inaccurate.
