Adjuster device for an aircraft, combination of an adjuster device and an adjuster device fault recognition function, fault-tolerant adjuster system and method for reconfiguring the adjuster system

A fault-tolerant adjustment system with at least one flap that can be adjusted on one of the respective wings of an aircraft, comprising:

• adjustment devices, at least one of which is arranged on a flap and coupled to a drive connection, wherein each adjustment device has an actuator and adjustment kinematics for kinematically coupling the actuator to the adjustment flap, and wherein at least one of the adjustment devices of the flap has:
• a first load sensor on the input side of the actuator for acquiring a load and a second load sensor on the output side of the actuator for a acquiring a load,
• a controller/monitor functionally linked with the load sensors, which is to be able to assign a fault state to the servo devices allocated to a flap based on the signals transmitted by the load sensors.

A method for reconfiguring an adjustment system with adjustable adjustment flaps, the method comprising:

• determining signal values from a first load sensor and a second load sensor to determine loads arising on an adjustment device with an actuator, wherein the first load sensor is arranged on the input side, and the second load sensor is arranged on the output side,
• subject to a determination of whether the conditions relating to the signal values ascertained by the first load sensor and second load sensor have been met, assigning a fault state on a component of the respective adjustment device.
