Fault Tolerance, Protection Layer, and System Security
Abstract
A safety instrumentation system (SIS) demands a fault tolerant design to ensure high availability and system integrity. The discussions on fault tolerance cover various fault tolerant measures, including fault tolerant characteristics, redundancies, and hardware and software. The discussions start with faults and failure types along with other related issues like availability, maintainability, and countermeasures suitable for each. Discussions are completed with a focus on fault tolerant networks including fault tolerant Ethernet. Minute details on independent protection layer characteristics and their effect on SIS are covered. The role of a firewall and demilitarized zone ...
