    摘要: Equipment monitoring employing time-triggered Ethernet communications is provided. Two or more sensor assemblies can be configured to transmit sensor signals representative of one or more operating parameters of a machine to a monitoring system over a token ring Ethernet network. The monitoring system can synchronize timing between the sensor assemblies and schedule timing of respective sensor signal transmissions to bound latency of the scheduled transmissions. Alternatively, or additionally, the monitoring system can include an Ethernet backplane configured to allow Ethernet communication between two or more processing cards coupled thereto. A switch in communication with the Ethernet backplane can schedule transmissions between the processing cards coupled to the Ethernet backplane to guarantee latency of the scheduled transmissions.

    摘要: The present invention concerns a method for switching, by a local processing unit (1,2) of a flight control system of an aircraft, configured to control at least one local actuator, connected to at least one local sensor and connected via at least one link (3,4) to an opposite processing unit (2,1) configured to control at least one opposite actuator and be connected to at least one opposite sensor, said local processing unit (1,2) being further configured to be connected to backup communication means (13,14) enabling data exchanges between the local processing unit (1,2) and the opposite processing unit (2,1) in the case of failures of the links connecting same (3,4), said backup communication means comprising an array of sensors or actuators (13) and/or a secure onboard network for the avionics (14), comprising steps of: •—sending, to the opposite processing unit (2,1), acquisition data relative to the at least one local sensor and actuator data relative to the at least one local actuator, •—receiving, from the opposite processing unit (2,1), acquisition data relative to the at least one opposite sensor and actuator data relative to the at least one opposite actuator, •—receiving an item of opposite health data and determining an item of local health data, •—switching said local processing unit (1,2) from a first state to a second state chosen from an active state (15), a passive state (16) and a slave state (18), depending on the opposite health data received and the local health data determined.

    摘要: A method is disclosed in which data is exchanged via a bus coupler (500) between a network (410) designed for transmitting Ethernet telegrams and a lower-level bus system (420), wherein the bus coupler (500) is connected via a first interface (520) to the network (410) and via a second interface (530) to the lower-level bus system (420), and wherein process data is read in and/or output through at least one bus node (610, 620, 630) of the lower-level bus system (420).Furthermore, a bus coupler (500), a bus node (610, 620, 630), and a control system (10) that are designed for execution of the method are disclosed.

    摘要: There is provided a control system for controlling safety-critical processes that includes a fieldbus, a bus master for controlling a communication via the fieldbus, at least one signal unit for linking to at least one of the safety-critical processes, and a first control unit for controlling at least one of the safety-critical processes. The bus master and the at least one signal unit are connected to one another via the fieldbus to provide communication between at least one signal unit and the bus master. The at least one signal unit and the first control unit have safety-related devices. Failsafe communication is provided to control at least one of the safety-critical processes, and the first control unit is connected to the bus master independently of the fieldbus.
