Abstract
A method is disclosed that comprises severing an I/O channel between a brake system controller and an aircraft component; sending a test signal to the brake system controller; receiving, from the brake system controller, a feedback signal to the test signal; and determining an appropriateness of the feedback signal. A system is disclosed that comprises a brake system controller wrapped in a BITE region, wherein the BITE region comprises a testing module, a safety interlock region having an I/O channel between the brake system controller and another system, and a testing module capable of sending a test signal to the brake system controller.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- severing an I/O channel between a brake system controller and an aircraft component;
- sending a test signal to the brake system controller;
- receiving, from the brake system controller, a feedback signal to the test signal;
- and
- determining an appropriateness of the feedback signal.
A system comprising:
- a brake system controller wrapped in a BITE region, wherein the BITE region comprises a testing module;
- and
- a safety interlock region having an I/O channel between the brake system controller and another system,
- wherein the testing module is capable of sending a test signal to the brake system controller.
A method comprising:
- disposing a selectively severable I/O channel between a brake system controller and an aircraft component;
- coupling the brake system controller with a BITE region, wherein the BITE region comprises a testing module capable of sending a test signal to the brake system controller;
- and
- establishing a safety interlock region by disposing a non-severable I/O channel between the brake system controller and the aircraft component.
