Abstract:
The invention relates to a method, in particular a time controlled error-tolerant method, for periodically transporting real-time data in a computer system, in particular in a distributed computer system, said computer system comprising node computers ( 111 - 116 ), in particular a plurality of node computers ( 111 - 116 ), and distributor units ( 131, 132, 133, 151 ), in particular a plurality of distributor units ( 131, 132, 133, 151 ). The node computers and the distributor units have access to a global time, and real-time data is transported by means of messages, preferably by means of time-controlled real-time messages. The topology of the computer system corresponds to an intree, and node computers ( 111 - 116 ), are arranged on the leaves of the intree. One or more sensors ( 101 - 106 ) is assigned to each node computer ( 111 - 116 ), and the node computers ( 111 - 116 ) arranged on the leaves of the intree transmit sensor data in the payload of messages in the direction of a control center ( 100 ) located at the root of the intree at points in time, preferably a synchronized points in time. The payload of one or more incoming messages in a distributor unit is transported out of the distributor unit with an outgoing message, and an individual time plan is generated a priori for each distributor unit, wherein the time plan contains a periodically repeating starting time ( 391 ) for transmitting a message ( 390 ) going out of the respective distributor unit, said starting time being calculated a priori from the a priori known time of arrival of a controlling payload to be transported, which is specified a priori for example, of one of the incoming messages, in particular a time-critical payload to be transported of one of the incoming messages, minus the a priori known lead-time interval ([ 391], [393 ]) of the outgoing message ( 390 ), plus at least one time interval ( [393, 393 ]) required to copy a data element of the controlling payload, in particular the time-critical payload of the incoming message ( 320 ), into a data element of the payload of the outgoing message ( 390 ); and the payloads of the incoming messages are copied into the payload of the outgoing message by carrying out the a priori generated time plan.

Claim (Index 13):
The computer system according to  claim 12 , wherein the node computers, in particular arranged with the distributed sensors, are synchronized with a time supplied by the TT Ethernet protocol.
