Patent ID: 8234019

Claim:
A device for automatically generating a control order of at least one control surface of an aircraft, said device comprising: at least one sensor for generating at least one control order; a bus for issuing such a control order to a user; a monitoring unit for monitoring the control order generated by said at least one sensor, so as to check whether it has a correct value or a wrong value, a wrong value representing a suspected deficiency, and should such a suspected deficiency be detected, in order to check whether said control order has a wrong value during a predetermined confirmation time, so as to confirm the deficiency; and an inhibitor or inhibiting the control order issue when a deficiency is confirmed, characterized in that it further comprises: a determining unit for determining, as soon as a suspected deficiency is detected, an auxiliary control order, summing the latest generated control order before such a detection and a predetermined order value illustrating a tolerated error margin; and a transmitter for automatically transmitting to said bus, with a view to its issue as a control order: said control order generated by said at least one sensor, in the absence of a deficiency and a suspected deficiency; and said auxiliary control order determined by said determining unit, as soon as a suspected deficiency is detected, and this, until the end of said confirmation time, from which: if the deficiency is confirmed, the issue of the control order is inhibited; otherwise, said control order generated by said at least one sensor is issued again.
