Abstract:
Technology is provided for a bilateral engine control system for use on a multi-cylinder opposed piston engine. The system includes first and second sets of injectors, each set mountable on first and second sides of an engine. Each injector is in fluid communication with a corresponding cylinder of the engine. First and second engine control units are each connected to a respective set of injectors. First and second crankshaft speed sensors are connected to respective engine control units. The first engine control unit independently controls the first set of injectors based on a first speed signal and the second engine control unit independently controls the second set of injectors based on a second speed signal. The first engine control unit and the second engine control unit are configured to activate corresponding injectors of the first and second sets of injectors at substantially the same time.

Claim (Index 5):
A multi-cylinder opposed piston engine, comprising:\n a plurality of cylinders; a first set of pistons each positioned in a respective one of the plurality of cylinders and connected to a first crankshaft; a second set of pistons each positioned in a respective one of the plurality of cylinders and connected to a second crankshaft; a first set of fuel injectors mounted on a first side of the plurality of cylinders, each in fluid communication with a corresponding one of the plurality of cylinders; a second set of fuel injectors mounted on a second side of the plurality of cylinders, each in fluid communication with one of the corresponding one of the plurality of cylinders; a first engine control unit connected to the first set of injectors for control thereof; a second engine control unit connected to the second set of injectors for control thereof; a first crankshaft speed sensor and a second crankshaft speed sensor connected to the first engine control unit and the second engine control unit, respectively, and wherein the first engine control unit independently controls the first set of injectors based on the first speed signal and the second engine control unit independently controls the second set of injectors based on the second speed signal; and one or more communication lines connecting the first and second engine control units, whereby the first and second speed signals are shared between the first and second engine control units; wherein the first engine control unit independently controls the first set of injectors and the second engine control unit independently controls the second set of injectors.
