Abstract

See full text

A control architecture having improved fault detection and correction capabilities is disclosed. The system comprises primary and monitor control systems, each having an associated control signal. A fault detector generates an alarm signal based upon differences observed between the primary and monitor control signal. The detector comprises an integrator and a memory means, and alarm signals are generated based upon the total amount of difference observed over a predetermined period of time. In one embodiment of the invention, primary and monitor control signals are averaged to provide a signal that is more fault tolerant than the individual control signals.
