System Diagnostics 33<br />

System Diagnostics<br />

To improve system availability and safety, a safety system must be able to detect failures and<br />

provide the means <strong>for</strong> managing failures properly. The controller’s diagnostics may be<br />

categorized as:<br />

• Reference diagnostics: Comparing an operating value to a predetermined reference,<br />

such as a system specification.<br />

• Comparison diagnostics: Comparing one component to another, such as one<br />

independent channel with two other independent channels.<br />

• Field device diagnostics: Diagnostics are extended to a system’s field devices and<br />

wiring.<br />
