ABSTRACT:
A fault tolerant distributed intelligence control system for sensing and control across fault tolerant fiber optic communication media interconnecting a plurality of intelligent nodes. Each intelligent node comprises a digital control and communication processor (DCCP) operating autonomously in relation to DCCPs at other nodes, and a transceiver for interfacing with the communication media. The fiber optic communication media comprises bi-directional serial data buses. The combination provides a low cost highly reliable distributed control system particularly applicable to primary and secondary aircraft control systems, as well as to other vehicle and control systems.
