At its core, Safety Integrity Level (SIL) is about managing residual risk. But what exactly does SIL mean, and how is a system designed to meet the appropriate SIL level? Let’s break it down with a simple example.👇🏼 Jargon Jive
Diagnostic Coverage (DC) measures the fraction of dangerous detected failures in a system. But in practice, predicting all possible manners a function can fail, and developing a diagnostic function that covers them all is challenging. So, how do we go about it? 🤔Join...
Diagnostic coverage plays a vital role in ensuring the reliability and safety of systems by detecting and mitigating failures. Join us as we break down this crucial concept in functional safety with a compelling visual example. Dive in! 🚀 Visual Chronicles -...
Failure Rate, also represented by the Greek symbol lambda - λ, is a fundamental metric that helps us understand how often systems or components might fail over time. This insight is crucial for guiding reliable performance, maintenance planning, and design...
MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures) is a key metric in reliability engineering that tells us how often repairable items fail over time.Understanding MTBF helps in planning maintenance schedules, improving asset availability, and enhancing inventory management.🔍 Want to...
Safe Failure Fraction (SFF) is a crucial metric that evaluates the balance of a system’s architecture from a safety perspective. But why is it important and how is it calculated? 🤔 Dive in to learn more with a simple example.👇🏼 Jargon Jive
Common Cause Failures (CCFs) are a critical functional safety concept that can render even redundancy measures ineffective. But what are they, how do they occur, and how can they be avoided? 🤔 Dive in to learn more with a simple example.👇🏼 Jargon Jive
