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 1):
A bilateral engine control system for use on a multi-cylinder opposed piston engine, the system comprising:\n a first set of fuel injectors mountable on a first side of an engine, each in fluid communication with a corresponding cylinder of the engine; a second set of fuel injectors mountable on a second side of the engine, each in fluid communication with one of the corresponding cylinders of the engine; 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 one or more communication lines connecting the first and second engine control units, whereby signals from the first and second crankshaft speed sensors 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.
