  2. Fault detection and isolation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fault_detection_and_isolation

    Fault detection, isolation, and recovery (FDIR) is a subfield of control engineering which concerns itself with monitoring a system, identifying when a fault has occurred, and pinpointing the type of fault and its location. Two approaches can be distinguished: A direct pattern recognition of sensor readings that indicate a fault and an analysis ...

  3. Watchdog timer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watchdog_timer

    Watchdog timers are sometimes used to trigger the recording of system state information—which may be useful during fault recovery [4] —or debug information (which may be useful for determining the cause of the fault) onto a persistent medium. In such cases, a second timer—which is started when the first timer elapses—is typically used ...

  4. Failure detector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Failure_detector

    The construction of a failure detector is an essential, but a very difficult problem that occurred in the development of the fault-tolerant component in a distributed computer system. As a result, the failure detector was invented because of the need for detecting errors in the massive information transaction in distributed computing systems.

  5. Failure mode, effects, and criticality analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Failure_Mode,_Effects,_and...

    For each component and failure mode, the ability of the system to detect and report the failure in question is analyzed. One of the following will be entered on each row of the FMECA matrix: Normal: the system correctly indicates a safe condition to the crew; Abnormal: the system correctly indicates a malfunction requiring crew action

  6. AN/FPS-124 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AN/FPS-124

    The AN/FPS-124 is an unattended radar (UAR) providing short range, Doppler radar surveillance of airborne targets. It provides target information to the Regional Operations Control Center (ROCC), and employs built-in-test, performance monitoring/fault isolation and system redundancy enabling it to reconfigure itself when fault detection occurs.

  7. OpenSAF - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opensaf

    The OpenSAF System Controller (SC) is the main controlling unit of the cluster, managing its workload and directing communication across the system. The OpenSAF control plane consists of various components, each its own process, that can run both on a single SC node or on multiple SC nodes, supporting high-availability clusters and service ...

  8. Fault tolerance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fault_tolerance

    This is usually handled with a separate "automated fault-detection system". In the case of the tire, an air pressure monitor detects the loss of pressure and notifies the driver. The alternative is a "manual fault-detection system", such as manually inspecting all tires at each stop. Interference with fault detection in another component.

  9. Failure mode and effects analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Failure_mode_and_effects...

    graph with an example of steps in a failure mode and effects analysis. Failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA; often written with "failure modes" in plural) is the process of reviewing as many components, assemblies, and subsystems as possible to identify potential failure modes in a system and their causes and effects.
