Health Monitoring for Reconfigurable Integrated Control Systems
نویسنده
چکیده
The next generation of control systems are likely to be characterised by much higher integration, where common / shared computer resources perform multiple system functions. It is possible to reconfigure such systems to provide continued functionality when an element of the system fails. To achieve this aim a number of pre-requisites must be in-place: the ability to determine when a failure has occurred, the appropriate configuration to move to and the ability to safely transfer from one configuration to another. This paper concentrates on the first of these in the form of health monitoring systems for IMS. The approach takes into account the potentially safety critical nature of the applications and the nature of these computer systems.

متن کاملNon-invasive monitoring and control in silicon photonics using CMOS integrated electronics
As photonics moves from the single-device level toward large-scale, integrated, and complex systems on a chip, monitoring, control, and stabilization of the components become critical. We need to monitor a circuit non-invasively and apply a simple, fast, and robust feedback control. Here, we show non-invasive monitoring and feedback control of high-quality-factor silicon (Si) photonic resonator...
