Abstract

See full text

The invention relates to a method for the redundant transmission of messages in a distributed real-time system, wherein the real-time system comprises two or more computing nodes (101-108) and one or more star couplers (201-209), wherein the computing nodes (101-108) are connected to the star couplers (201-209) by means of bidirectional communication lines (301, 302, 303) and the star couplers (201-209) are interconnected by bidirectional communication lines (310), and wherein the star couplers (201-209) connected by the communication lines (310) form a network infrastructure (200), wherein one or more star couplers (201-209) of the network infrastructure (200) perform one or more activity rasters (1000), wherein an activity raster (1000) consists of alternating active phases (502) and rest phases (501), and wherein any message sent in the network infrastructure is assigned to precisely one activity raster (1000). The invention also relates to a network infrastructure and also a real-time system comprising a network infrastructure of this type.
