Analysis techniques for dependability - Petri net techniques

IEC 62551:2012 provides guidance on a Petri net based methodology for dependability purposes. It supports modelling a system, analysing the model and presenting the analysis results. This methodology is oriented to dependability-related measures with all the related features, such as reliability, availability, production availability, maintainability and safety (e.g. safety integrity level (SIL) [2] related measures). Key words: Petri net based methodology for dependability purposes

Techniques d'analyse de sûreté de fonctionnement - Techniques des réseaux de Petri

La CEI 62551:2012 donne des directives pour une technique basée sur les réseaux de Petri dans le domaine de la sûreté de fonctionnement. Elle porte sur la modélisation d'un système, l'analyse du modèle et la présentation des résultats de l'analyse. Cette méthode est orientée vers les mesures relatives à la sûreté de fonctionnement avec toutes les caractéristiques associées, telles que la fiabilité, la disponibilité, la disponibilité de production, la maintenabilité et la sécurité (par exemple, les mesures associées au niveau d'intégrité de sécurité (SIL[2]: en anglais:system integrity level). Mots clés: technique basée sur les réseaux de Petri dans le domaine de la sûreté de fonctionnement
