#179663 - Highly Redundant Systems Responding to: ???'s previous message |
Highly redundant systems demand way more than dual watchdogs. You could have failures in the program counter, in the oscillator, in the code memory, in the data memory, in the accumulator, in register 7, in the ... in the ............. (name another system part).
Then consider that the MCU subsystem does not experience a hard failure but instead a soft failure that corrupts code execution or leads to circuit latchup that requires a power cycle to recover from. If you are studying the highest in reliable systems you would be best to focus on building the whole system in triplicate and then coordinate their code execution through some type of interactive 3-way polling and monitoring system.
