S7 ECEBIT FOR INTELLIGENT SYSTEM DESIGN
What is BIT?
Effective FDIR technique for today’s complicated systems.
On-board hardware-software diagnostics.
Including error detection & correction circuits,totally self-checking & self-verification circuits.
Design considerations for BIT
Standardized circuitry.
High reliability.
Simple but effective in meeting operational needs.
Use of same type of components as in normal system.
Types of BIT
Interruptive BIT (I-BIT)
Suspends the normal operations.
Periodic BIT (P-BIT) is one of its types.
Continuous BIT (C-BIT)
Monitoring without affecting normal operation.
