Abstract

L'invention concerne un dispositif nodal qui est raccordé à une extrémité d'une ligne redondante et est conçu pour exécuter une commande de communication prédéterminée. L'invention concerne également un dispositif d'interruption non brève. Le nombre de lignes auxiliaires est petit et la structure système peut être changée sans brève interruption conformément à l'état des différentes lignes couramment utilisées. Le dispositif nodal corrige les déphasages entre les signaux reçus séparément par N lignes et le signal de somme de l'ensemble ou partie des signaux par une seule ou n (<N) ligne(s) auxiliaire(s) ; il récupère l'ensemble ou partie des signaux devant être reçus par les N lignes comme leurs différences, et il utilise les signal récupéré correspondant comme substitut du signal reçu par une ligne défectueuse.
