Abstract

This chapter presents the architectural concept of a safety-related programmable electronic system (PES) which combines the benefits, but eliminates the drawbacks of synchronous and asynchronous programming. Thereby, this concept achieves a high degree of fault tolerance through state restoration from redundant PES instances. The PES architecture designed has two key characteristics, namely, task-oriented real-time execution without asynchronous interrupts and state restoration at runtime.
