In Functional Safety it is necessary to calculate safety parameters in order to determine the safety integrity level as well as to determine PFD and MTTF values. Nowadays, several international valid safety standards exist for different user and application areas. In every standard different methods and procedures occur to calculate relevant safety parameters and to determine the failure rates of the components. Those are often only partially comparable. Today, different tools exist to calculate safety loops. However, the models to calculate the parameters are often unknown to the user and therefore it is difficult to state the quality of the solution. This paper discusses these problems and presents a tool, which calculates according the IEC 61508 Ed. 2 standard. This tool is developed in cooperation with a database established by TUV Rheinland, and will give users an advantage in calculating appropriate and reliable parameters.
The development of embedded sensing applications based on integrated circuits leads to ever-growing complexity of VHDL-code and requires sophisticated testability to achieve high diagnostic coverage. The norm IEC 6150...

This paper presents a new tuning method based on model parameters identified in closed-loop. For classical controllers such as PI(D) controllers a large number of simple tuning methods for various application areas exist. However, when it comes to designing a generalised predictive controller (GPC) four parameters have to be specified. To choose those parameters is not a trivial task since they are not directly related to control or regulation performance. The presented tuning method exploits model-parameters to select suitable controller parameters. Additionally, a Rhinehart filter is incorporated in the design to decrease the impact of noise, therefore, a fifth parameter has to be optimised. The proposed method has been tested in simulation and on a real system.
Recent advancements in the embedded systems field have resulted in more complicated systems with application-specific blocks (IP cores), often known as system on Chip (SoC) devices. Several redundancy-based embedded d...

Several standards and guidelines give advice on the development of qualitative and quantitative criteria to evaluate safety related systems, in order to apply these in safety critical applications. These standards don't take into account the possibility of an external attack on the safety related system. In this paper, we will describe the current situation and explore methods and models for security and safety related systems with the help of Markov-models.
