Aircraft control system with merged links

An aircraft control system comprising a computer and a remote equipment, the computer comprising a first and a second module, the first module of the computer being connected to a first module of said equipment through an AFDX network by a first virtual link, and the second module of the computer being connected to a second module of said equipment by a second virtual link through this same network, characterised in that:

• said equipment comprises a repetition and/or frame switching device connected, on the one hand, to a common port of the equipment connected to the AFDX network, and, on the other hand, to a port of the first module of the equipment and a port of the second module of the equipment;
• said first and second virtual links share a common path through the AFDX network, each frame transmitted on the first or the second virtual link being obtained by encoding at a protocol level higher than that of the layer link, the encoding being separate for said first and second virtual links.
