A communication adapter of a gas turbine engine of an aircraft includes an internal sensor system including a plurality of sensors within the communication adapter, a memory system, and processing circuitry. The processing circuitry is configured to receive a plurality of time series data at the communication adapter from an engine control during operation of the gas turbine engine, record a plurality of internal sensor data versus time in the memory system based on the internal sensor system until an end condition is met, correlate the time series data with the internal sensor data based on an alignment in time to form an enhanced data set, and transmit the enhanced data set from the communication adapter to an offboard system based on a transmit condition.

The invention relates to a computing unit, a switch connected to the computing unit, a user terminal connected to the switch in such a way that the computing unit, the switch and the user terminal form a communication system with a central architecture, and at least one communication system with a distributed architecture that is connected to the switch. The switch is designed to be used as an intermediate system for the communication system with the central architecture as well as for the communication system with the distributed architecture.

The present invention relates to a switch including a plurality of input ports, a plurality of output ports, at least one output port, called observation port, being connected to an observation module able to analyze the traffic of the frames passing through via the switch, and a conveying component configured to convey each frame. The switch is configured to transmit, to the observation modules via the observation port, only frames according to a first observation condition and a second observation condition. The compliance of a frame with the first observation condition is determined as a function of an observation field and the compliance with the second observation condition is determined as a function of the identifier and/or of an input and/or output port associated with this frame.

An avionics network comprises at least one data bus system, a multiplicity of network subscribers connected to one or more of the data bus systems via network interfaces, a central configuration server configured to configure each of the multiplicity of network subscribers individually according to a predefined functionality, and a synchronization note configured to stipulate a work-cycle for the multiplicity of network subscribers via the at least one data bus system according to a stipulated synchronization protocol.

A system for secure transfer of digital aircraft data comprising redundant data producer systems includes a first data producer, capable of producing first data, at successive moments, and a second data producer, redundant to the first system. The second data producer is capable of producing an integrity check result relating at least to second data which it produces in a manner redundant to the first data, the integrity check result being transmitted to a data consumer. The data consumer is capable of retrieving the first data and the integrity check result produced by the second system, to produce a new integrity check result from the first data and compare the new integrity check result with the integrity check result produced by the second system.

The present invention relates to an end system comprising at least one input port adapted to receive frames, and a configuration table comprising, for each identification value, a received frame of parameters for processing that frame.

The end system is adapted to determine a processing protocol between an ARINC 664 P7 type protocol and an IEEE 802 type protocol of each frame received via the input port exclusively from the processing parameters corresponding to the identification value of that frame in the configuration table, independently of the type of this frame.
