Method and device for concentrating messages for the integration simulation of components

摘要

A method and a device are disclosed for concentration of messages transmitted by at least two separate transmitters in a communication network to which there are connected these transmitters and an addressee of the data contained in the messages. After receiving the messages to be concentrated, the data contained in these messages are extracted. A concentration frame comprising the extracted data and at least one information item making it possible to identify the addressee is then constructed and transmitted The size of the concentration message is smaller than the maximum size of the data packets exchanged in the communication network.

1. Method for concentration of at least two messages transmitted by at least two separate transmitters in a communication network to which there are connected the at least two transmitters and a common addressee of at least one useful datum contained in each of the at least two messages, the method comprising:
first creating a first message of the at least two messages, the first message being addressed to the concentration unit, and the first message including an identifier that identifies the common addressee; second creating a second message of the at least two messages, the second message being addressed to the concentration unit, and the second message including the identifier that identifies the common addressee; first receiving via the communication network, at a concentration unit, the first message; second receiving via the communication network, at the concentration unit, the second message; opening a concentration window with a predetermined duration during the first receiving; extracting the at least one useful datum contained in each of the at least two messages; constructing at least one concentration frame including the useful data extracted and the identifier that identifies the common addressee; and transmitting, to the common addressee, the at least one concentration frame at the expiration of the predetermined duration of the concentration window if at least one of the at least two messages is not received, the size of the at least one concentration frame being smaller than a maximum size of data packets exchanged in the communication network, wherein each of the at least two separate transmitters in the communication network is included in a different interface card connected to a different aircraft component of an aircraft being developed.
