A Failure-Tolerant CANopen System for Marine Automation Systems
CANopen-based communication also becomes popular for failuretolerant systems. A typical application of that type is the area of marine automation systems, e.g. ship alarm, monitoring and control systems in any kind of ships like product carriers, container ships, passenger vessels, ferries and cargo ships. The main rule to be met in that type of application is, that the system must tolerate at least one arbitrary single component failure. This implies that a general redundant system configuration, including the communication system, has to be provided to fulfill the requirements of a failure-tolerant system... |
