    摘要: A safety apparatus for providing a safe operation of a subsystem within a safety critical system, SCS is disclosed herein. The safety apparatus includes: a system communication interface for communication with components of the subsystem and other subsystems of the safety critical system; a backend communication interface for communication with a safety cloud backend; an integrated identifier memory storing a unique identifier of the subsystem; and an authorization control unit configured to perform a handshake authorization procedure with another target subsystem of the safety critical system via the system communication interface, and with the safety cloud backend via the backend communication interface to get authorization for the subsystem to execute a safety critical function on the target subsystem of the safety critical system based on the unique identifiers of both subsystems.

    摘要: A method for supporting failure mode and effects analysis includes storing a meta-model in a computer-readable storage medium. The meta-model includes generic parts of technical systems, generic failure modes, and associations between the generic parts and the generic failure modes. The associations indicate, for each generic part, one or more generic failure modes associated with the generic part. Each generic failure mode identifies a type of failure for a respective generic part. A processor instantiates the generic parts and the generic failure modes to generate part instances and failure mode instances specifying a technical system. The part instances and the failure mode instances are stored, such as in the computer-readable storage medium.

    摘要: The embodiments relate to methods and systems for supporting a global effect analysis of a technical system. The embodiments include providing a meta-model stored in a computer readable storage medium, where the meta-model comprises at least one assembly of the technical system comprising parts having an associated set of failure mode elements, and where each failure mode element has an associated local effect element. The embodiments also include clustering local effect elements within global effect elements to generate a global effect tree stored within the meta-model.

    摘要: A method for automated qualification of a safety critical system including a plurality of components is provided. A functional safety behavior of each component is represented by an associated component fault tree element. The method includes automatically performing a failure port mapping of output failure modes to input failure modes of component fault tree elements based on a predetermined generic fault type data model stored in a database.

    摘要: A method for automated recertification of a safety critical system with at least one altered functionality is provided. The method includes providing a failure propagation model of the safety critical system. The method also includes updating the failure propagation model of the safety critical system according to the at least one altered functionality using inner port dependency traces between inports and outports of a failure propagation model element representing the at least one altered functionality. The method includes calculating top events of the updated failure propagation model, and comparing the calculated top events with predetermined system requirements to recertify the safety critical system.

    摘要: An apparatus includes an input that receives a continuous function chart for each component of the investigated safety-critical system. A processor generates a corresponding component fault tree element. Inports and outports of the component fault tree element are generated and interconnected based on unique names of the inputs and outputs of the corresponding continuous function chart of the respective system component. Input failure modes and output failure modes are generated based on generic mapping between connector types of the continuous function chart and failure types of failure modes of the component fault tree element. The input failure modes of a component fault tree element are connected to output failure modes of the component fault tree element via internal failure propagation paths based on interconnected function blocks of the continuous function chart of the respective system component. An output outputs the generated component fault tree of the safety-critical system.
