Summary
The high reliability of automatic control systems of aircraft is reflected in the KEY WORDS
practical implementation in order to reduce an already small number of elements, aircrafts
for example, connecting functional element checking and control circuits. Each control system
of the elements of control, which represents a control circuit, also performs the automatic control
function of the sensor control. It is similar to the element-node connections and can algorithm
be a wave form that is used for controlling. This is the way how to use converters
that perform functions such as comparators from which the output control signal
passes to the input power member. The converters, power members, signalling
devices and indicators, as well as programming elements are usually placed in the
critical nodes and they are elements of not only embedded system checkings, but
also backup elements of the aircraft automatic control system.
