Abstract
A data transmission switch configured to be carried onboard an aircraft comprises: at least one input configured to receive data from a flight management computer on a first transmission channel, the channel functioning in multidirectional mode; at least one output configured to transmit the data to at least one avionic equipment on a second transmission channel, the switch further comprising a transducer configured to generate instructions for synchronization of the second transmission channel. The invention enables retrofitting to aircraft with an old avionic system under very economic conditions.
Claims10
A data transmission switch for an aircraft, comprising:
- an input configured to receive data from a flight management computer on a first transmission channel, said channel functioning in multidirectional mode, and
- an output configured to transmit said data to at least an avionic equipment on a second transmission channel,
- said switch further comprising a transducer configured to generate instructions for synchronization of said second transmission channel, said synchronization information comprising:
- a verification of a possibility of transmission of data;
- an indication of a start of transmission of data;
- an indication of an end of the transmission of data.
A data transmission method intended to be executed by an equipment for an aircraft, said method comprising:
- receiving, on an input, data from a flight control computer on a first transmission channel, said channel functioning in multidirectional mode;
- transmitting, on an output, said data to an avionic equipment on a second transmission channel;
- said method further comprising generating instructions of synchronization of said second transmission channel, said synchronization information comprising:
- a verification of a possibility of transmission of data;
- an indication of a start of transmission of data;
- an indication of a end of the transmission of data.
