Embodiment Construction

[0046]For the sake of clarity, the description that follows is primarily based on aircraft equipment and / or computers. However, the invention may be implemented with other elements of an aircraft, and more generally with the various referenced elements of a multi-element system.

[0047] In general, the invention contemplates regrouping elements according to predetermined criteria, in a hierarchical or non-hierarchical manner, so that a unique reference number is associated with each reference number of the elements of the group Represents a set of citation numbers. Such a unique reference number can thus be used to verify the configuration of the group it represents. Such a regrouping method thus allows grouping not only sets of citation numbers, but also groups of citation numbers.

[0048] By way of illustration, groups can be defined functionally by owners and / or by ATA chapters (acronym for the English term AirTransportation Association (Air Transport Association)).

Abstract

The invention relates to a method and device for configuration validation of a complex multi-element system. The object of the invention is in particular the validation of configuration of a system comprising a plurality of elements, at least one reference being associated with each element of the said plurality of elements. After at least one reference key has been calculated (410) according to at least one expected reference of each element of the said plurality of elements, a theoretical configuration report of the said system, comprising the said at least one reference key, is generated (420). Similarly, at least one verification key is calculated (455) according to at least one reference of each element of the said plurality of elements, and a real configuration report of the said system, comprising the said at least one verification key, is generated (460). A configuration error is detected if the values of the said verification key and reference key of the said real and theoretical configuration reports are different.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the configuration verification of systems, and more particularly to methods and apparatus for the configuration verification of complex multi-component systems, such as aircraft, the purpose of which is in particular when verifying system configurations Minimize the number of reference numbers (référence) that need to be verified in order to shorten the time of verification operations and limit the risk of errors. Background technique [0002] Aircraft are typically complex systems comprising hardware elements (éléments matériels) and software elements (éléments logiciels). As an illustration, the number of software locations has varied from about 20 in the 1980s to about 1200 in 2007 in some aircraft. [0003] For improvement purposes, a large number of components are replaced during the aircraft's service life. These modifications can be mandated by the manufacturer, in particular in response to safety issues, or re...
