pSHIELD<strong>System</strong> <strong>Architecture</strong> <strong>Design</strong>PUSafetyNode design should comply with safety standards. Also, the node should have a safe state, in which theharmful consequences of a failure are minor (01016, 01020).Operational states of a nodeThey should be ACTIVE, LOW-POWER STANDBY and TEST (01021).Self test of nodesNodes of all types should be able to execute self test functionalities (01022, 09015, 06014).PowerNodes should present the following attributes regarding Power: uninterruptible supply, supply monitoring,supply fault tolerance, remote powering, protected supply (01023→01026, 09006).Fault toleranceReaction of nodes in case of a fault should include: fault identification, substitution of defective node, selfre-configuration (power node), error recovery, firmware redundancy and upgrade (09004, 09005, 09007,01027, 09008, 01029, 20046).Controlled failureA power node should fail in a controlled way, meaning that node failures are halting and signalled(01028).Miscellaneous/Reliable communicationsDependability requirements can be also reflected to a set of attributes concerning the establishment of atrustworthy network. These properties are more communication prerequisites than strict dependabilityrequirements and cover aspects like the following: system and network homogeneity/heterogeneity,gateway node, satellite positioning antenna, heterogeneous communication support, networkinteroperability, robust and reliable communication links, SPD transmission, protocol conversion, proxyrunning on a dedicated gateway, TPM, SNMP interface (20001, 20002, 20006, 20007, 20008, 20009,06001, 06002, 20013, 20023, 20024, 01041).PUD2.3.2Issue 5 Page 65 of 122
