Abstract
The invention CONCERNS a device for reconfiguring an assembly of N basic electronic modules associated with k redundant modules comprising: N multiplexers each having a first terminal (d) capable of being connected to k+1 second terminals connected to the k+1 input/output terminals of a sequenced group of modules consisting of a basic module (U) and k other modules; N+k triggers (F) indicating a good or faulty condition of one of the N+k modules; and logic means associated with each multiplexer of rank j, where j is an integer ranging between 0 and N, to determine the number of triggers of rank 0 to j indicating a faulty condition, to determine the number of modules of the sequenced group associated with the module of rank j, to be counted to find a number of good modules equal to the first number, and to convert the first terminal of the multiplexer to its second terminal of rank equal to the second number.
