  • Conference paper
Probabilistic Safety Assessment and Management

Abstract

This paper presents a safety integrity evaluation framework for a control logic designed especially by a fault-tolerant control logic design technique according to the international safety standard, IEC 61508. The framework is based on demand frequency on safety-related systems from a control system. It clarifies a concrete contribution of fault-tolerant control logic to risk reduction.
