Functional unit

This is the primary system unit, designed to provide the stakeholders with the system deliverables.

Preventing hazards in the functional unit

The following table provides links to methods for preventing hazards that might be generated in the functional unit:

Hazard type

Prevention

Hardware faults examine ...
Extreme deviation in the input received from external sources examine
Unintended behavior due to specification and design mistakes and software bugs examine
Problems in the coordination between the system units examine
Problems in coordinating with external units. examine

Input

The functional unit receives input from the operators (the stations ) through gates, and also functional input from external systems through various channels.

Besides, the unit gets the situation from the Scenario analyzer on demand.

Resilience-oriented Processing

Besides the functional processing, the functional unit does the following resilience-oriented processing as follows:

  1. Preventing hazards originated in the functional unit
  2. Recovering from a hazard generated in the functional unit
  3. Constraining to the design scope.

Output

Beside functional output to external systems, the functional unit also events received and generated in the unit, with its situation .

Also, the unit updates the Scenario analyzer with this information.
