Abstract
The invention relates to an aircraft control system, situated in the avionics bay, including a computer, a remote equipment, such as an actuator of control surfaces, and an AFDX network. The computer includes a first module and a second module, respectively connected to a corresponding first module and a second module of the equipment, by a first and a second virtual link sharing a common path through the network, the first and second virtual links being segregated by a separate encoding at the applicative level. A replication and/or frame switching device is connected, on the one hand, to the common port and, on the other hand, to the ports of the first and second modules of the equipment.
