Abstract A fault tolerant control method is proposed for Quanser SRV-02 System in order to maintain the required performance in the presence of sensor failures. The proposed approach integrates control law and a sensor fault tolerance schema. Theoretical analysis and simulation results have confirmed the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Application of formal methods, in particular Event-B, helps us to verify the correctness of controlling software. However, to guarantee the dependability of software-intensive control systems, we also need to ensure that safety and fault tolerance requirements are adequately represented in a system specification. In this chapter we demonstrate how to integrate the results of safety analysis, in particular failure mode and effect analysis (FMEA), into formal system development in Event-B. The proposed methodology is exemplified by a case study.

This three-part paper analyzes existing approaches and methods of organizing failure- and fault-tolerant computing in distributed multicomputer systems (DMCS), identifies and provides rationale for a list of issues to be solved. We review the application areas of failure- and fault- tolerant control systems for complex network and distributed objects. The second part further investigates the issues of organizing failure- and fault- tolerance in the DMCS. The systemic, functional, and test diagnostics are viewed as the basis for building unattended failure- and fault-tolerant systems. We introduce the concept of self-managed degradation (when the DMCS eventually proceeds to a safe shutdown at a critical level of degradation) as a means to increase the DMCS active life.

In complex systems like flight control systems etc., reliability is as important as performance. In order to improve the reliability of flight control system (FCS), the fault- tolerant technique was adopted. Three parts of the FCS which are Flight Control Fault Tolerant Computer, Redundancy sensor and Servo-actuator have been explored. The key techniques have been solved, such as Redundant Disposition, Synchronism of the Redundant Channels, Data link and Communication of Channels, etc. The experimental results show that the system meets with the fly control system’s demand of reliability.
