Abstract

See full text

A system is provided for controlling a powered unit having an engine configured to operate using a plurality of fuel types each in a corresponding fuel tank. The system includes a controller operable to transmit a first set of control signals including a first set of valve signals to the each fuel tank based at least in part on a first stored engine operating profile to control amounts of fuel from each fuel tank to the engine. The controller can transmit a second set of control signals including a second set of valve signals to each fuel tank based at least in part on a second stored engine operating profile to control amounts of fuel from each fuel tank to the engine. Further, the controller can switch, by transmitting either the first set of control signals or the second set of control signals, between a first operating condition associated with a first external domain and a second condition associated with a second external domain. The first operating condition is associated with the first stored engine operating profile, and the second operating condition is associated with the second stored engine operating profile.
