Table 1 summarizes systemsthat are candidates for control or monitoring using I/O networksand lists a few of the basic control system functionsrequired. Tables 2 and 3 list sensors and actuators needed tosupport these functions. Typically, for control applications, thesensors and actuators are sampled/updated at rates of 1 to 10times per second.Figure 2.TMR systems provide highly dependable operation.Table 1.

Afew of these selected for discussion in this paper are:• Network media selection.• Powering the I/O network electronics.• Network topology.• Network data rate requirements.• Centralized or distributed I/O processing.• I/O channel cross-strapping.NETWORK MEDIA SELECTIONThree good choices are available for the network media: opticalfiber, copper wire, and wireless (RF or Infrared (IR)). Eachoffers advantages, and all have drawbacks. It is likely thatfuture ships will make use of all three, matching the strengthsof a particular media to a specific problem. The following arethe trade-offs between these media, with advantages precededby a plus (+) sign and disadvantages preceded by a minus(-) sign.Optical Fiber+ Supports very high data rates.+ Insensitive to Electromagnetic Interference (EMI).+ Does not propagate electrical faults (electrically isolated).- Optical signal is attenuated by connectors and splitters.- Attenuation makes fiber poorly suited to bus topologies(see I/O Network Topology).- Requires complex terminals.- Installation is complicated if wires are needed to power theterminal.Wire+ Small, low-cost terminals are available.+ Wiring can deliver power in addition to data.+ Electrical connections are easy to make.- Limited speed compared to optical fiber.- Requires shielding from EMI.Wireless (RF and IR)+ Very low cost to install (no wiring or fiber).+ Small, low-cost RF electronics are available.- To remain wireless, requires a battery (needs replacement)or power scavenging.- Vulnerable to EMI (RF).- Vulnerable to optical path obstruction by smoke, dust,equipment, or personnel (IR).- Limited bandwidth compared with wire or fiber.28Fault-Tolerant Input/Output (I/O) Networks Applied to Ship Control
