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 />
