TripleBravo Post #1587:
The position information is transmitted by 6 cables per sensor, which allow to cross-check for cable breaks and potentiometer breakups for each sensor. These analog signals are fed into one channel of FADEC (A), the other 6 from the second sensor are treated completely separate in channel B. The arbitration between the two FADEC channels takes place after input check and evaluation of the signals. Each channel is capable to control the engine on its own if the other fails. They are independent, also physically, which means that every chip is only responsible for one of the two channels.
And in addition you have 6 potentiometers whitch give the TLA to the SECs (for flight control system)
