Safe Computers F75P – 3U CompactPCI® PlusIO Intel® Atom™ Safe Computer 2x Failures of safety-critical electronic systems can result in loss of life, substantial financial damage or severe harm to the environment. One of the key design elements of a safety-critical system is redundancy. The complex architecture of such systems usually requires equally complex software, resulting in a very time-consuming and expensive development process. With CompactPCI® and VMEbus based CPU cards MEN has taken redundancy to the board level. Aside from incorporating doubled or tripled processors, the CPU...

The Special Challenges of Safety-Critical Electronics Failures of safety-critical electronic systems can result in loss of life, substantial financial damage or can severely harm the environment. Such systems are used for example in medical equipment, in airplanes, in trains, or in nuclear power stations. In applications like these, no margin of error is tolerable. There is no opportunity to „tweak“ improvements on the fly or to allow for unanticipated problems. Different Safety Requirements in Different Markets Computer architectures with safety-critical requirements are very complex....
