Blog Entry: Environmental Impact on Failure Rates
Good component failure rate data is a cornerstone of good quality reliability metric analysis. As mentioned in a previous exida whitepaper, one of the shortcomings of reliability databases has been the inability to handle variations in the operating environment. A sensor monitoring a flame and the processor interpreting the signal…

White Paper: Environmental Impact on Failure Rates
This paper describes the impact that different environmental factors can have on failure rates. To incorporate these impacts, exida provides a tool that can generate a custom Environmental Profile to be used in a Failure Modes, Effects, and Diagnostics Analysis (FMEDA). exida’s Component Reliability Database is embedded in the OEMxTM…

Blog Entry: Why is Memory Management important for Functional Safety?
What is Memory Mapping? Memory mapping is a technique used in computer systems to manage memory resources safely, it involves creating a virtual address space that corresponds directly to the physical memory or to a portion of it, this allows programs to access memory in a way that is safe…

White Paper: Get Your FMEDA Done Faster – Use Functional Effects
The goal of performing a failure modes, effects, and diagnostics analysis (FMEDA) is to obtain important reliability and Safety metrics including: the failure rates per failure mode, automatic diagnostic effectiveness, useful life, and latent fault test (proof test) effectiveness of a device. This information is used for many reasons including…

Blog Entry: Why do we do probabilistic models to predict risk reduction? Check the box only?
I had an engineer from a European Certification Body ask me why exida would bother paying any attention to these failure rate numbers, especially on mechanical devices? He said that he does not know anyone who actually uses them! To answer why exida pays attention to failure rates, we must…
White Paper: Application Variables of Remote Actuated Valves
Remote actuated valve assemblies (RAVA) are a frequently used final element of safety instrumented functions (SIF) in the process industry. Studies of field failure data at exida has shown potentially dangerous failures of these valve assemblies significantly depend on how they are used – the application. As a simple example,…
