ABSTRACT:
A computing unit having at least two redundant computers for independently performing identical computing tasks and for each supplying computing data to a comparator, and a multiplexer controlled by the comparator so as to transmit to an output the computing data of at least one of the computers when the comparator detects an agreement with respect to the computing data coming from each computer. The computing unit also has a controller for controlling the operation of each computer, and the multiplexer is adapted to supply to an output the computing data of a computer, whose satisfactory operation is verified by the controller, when the comparator detects a difference between the computing data respectively coming from each computer.
