Abstract: The present invention is concerned with deterministic data transmission of real-time operational data in Highly available, Seamlessly Redundant (HSR) ring-type communication networks with at least a master node, a source node, and a destination node. Each one of the nodes comprises a first and second communication port connected to a respective first and second neighbouring node of the communication network, and is adapted to receive a frame via the first communication port, and to forward the received frame, either modified or unmodified, via the second communication port without additional delay. The master node sends a first and a second redundant frame or empty data packet to its first and second neighbouring node, respectively. Upon reception of the two redundant frames, the source node inserts process data into a predetermined and dedicated field of each frame. Each one of the two loaded redundant frames is instantaneously and individually forwarded to the first and the second neighbouring node of the source node, respectively. The destination node finally extracts the process data from the first arriving loaded redundant frame of the pair.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for controlling a fuel pump assembly comprising a plurality of pump elements (10) for delivering fuel at high pressure to a rail volume, each of the pump elements (10) comprising a plunger (12) which is driven by an associated cam to perform at least one pumping event per engine revolution and a control valve (20) for controlling fuel flow into and/or out of the pump chamber (14). Each pumping event corresponds to an associated cam lobe of the associated cam. The method comprises, for each pumping event of each pump element, controlling the control valve (20) of said pump element (10) in response to an output control signal (52a-52f, 114) derived from at least one previous pumping event. The output control signal (52a-52f, 114) is derived by measuring fuel pressure within the rail volume to derive a measured rail pressure value (42); and comparing the measured rail pressure value (42) with a demanded rail pressure value (46) to derive a rail pressure error (102). A proportional and integral calculation is performed on the rail pressure error (102) to derive a proportional term (104) for the rail pressure error (102) and an integral term (110) for the rail pressure error (102). The proportional term (104) and the integral term (110) are combined to derive the output control signal (52a-52f, 114). 
     Monitoring of the integral term (110) for each pumping event of each pump element provides a means for identifying and diagnosing a fault condition within the fuel pump assembly or associated fuel system.
