Redundant electric circuit for cutting off the power supply to a piece of equipment

摘要

The invention concerns an electric circuit designed to control a power supply of a piece of electrical equipment, the electric circuit comprising a piece of electrical equipment and a source of supply voltage, and further having, as inputs, at least two discrete electrical signals of which the values condition the cutting off of the power supply to the piece of equipment, the circuit being characterized in that it further comprises:—a module for the redundant comparison of the discrete electric signals, comprising two branches for comparing said signals, parallel to one other, each branch being designed to supply, at the output, a control signal representative of each of the comparisons of said discrete electrical signals, and—a first module for cutting off the power supply to the piece of electrical equipment comprising two switches in series, each one being controlled respectively by one of the two control signals. The invention also concerns a system for acquiring, processing and communicating avionics data installed in an aircraft, comprising such an electric circuit.

主权项

1. Electric circuit (1) adapted to controlling an electrical power supply (Vpp) of a piece of electrical equipment (2), the electric circuit (1) comprising electrical equipment (2) and a power supply voltage source (Vpp), and also having at least two discrete electrical signals (DIS 1, DIS 2, DIS 3) as inputs, which values control cutting off of the electrical power supply to the equipment,
wherein the circuit also comprises: a redundant comparison module (11) that compares discrete electrical signals (DIS 1, DIS 2, DIS 3), comprising two comparison branches (12, 13) of said signals in parallel with each other, each branch being adapted to provide an output control signal (CLE1, CLE2) representative of each of the comparisons of said discrete electrical signals, and, a first cut off module (HW) that cuts off the electrical power supply to the electrical equipment comprising two switches in series (Switch 1, Switch 2), each being controlled by one of the two control signals (CLE1, CLE2), and a second cut off module (FSM) to cut off the electrical power supply of the electrical equipment connected in series between the power supply voltage source (Vpp) of the electrical equipment and the first cut off module HW, and controlled by the two control signals (CLE1, CLE2) provided by the redundant comparison module (11).
