Included in the hardware identification are items such as name, drawing number, manufacturer, and identure level (i .e. system, subsystem, equipment, part, material). Hardware identifica

The diagram should make clear the relationship of .each block to the others; inputs and outputs should be labeled as to nature and magnitude.

11、If convenient, each block can be labeled and designated by an item number for use in completing a Failure Mode and Effect Analysis form. Examples of Block Diagrams are shown in Figure 3. In a diagram of a system each block represents a sub- 0 li Copyright Government Electronics (amount by which rate

Usually a FMEA involves an intermix of normal situations with specific fault conditions, Frequently, these fault co

For example, in the case of a two-position, single-pole relay (a four different contact type faults are possible. 1. a. Moving contact shorte to upper fixed contact, b. Moving conta

23、 by the framework of a main tree. In studying the possibility of an undesirable event occurring, there may be severalways in which the event could happen. A separate fault tree generated for each of these ways with a conservative combining of results is one approach to this type of problem. This mai

Separate trees might be generated

26、to examine each of these possibilities. When a function is examined with a FMEA, one analysis could be made considering only hardware operation and failure. Another might include human and/or software effects as well. In studying EL complex system, the links between equipment failures and human acti

After confirming that no single fai

28、lure events appear to exist that would produce high output voltage, we want to investigate the possibilities of multiple failures producing this effect.

Secondary Failures The Certain Secondary as well as primary failures enter into a FMEA, If a part fails as a result of a fault within itself, it is a primary failure.

However, if the power supply voltage rises eno

If failure occurs because Secondary failures are at times of equal and even more significance than inltial or primary failures and consequently are an important aspe

Secondary failures may be shown on diagrams with an appropriate symbol to distinguish them from primary ones. - 26 - Copyright Government Electronics & Information Technology Association Reproduced by IHS under license with GEIA Not for ResaleNo reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS-,-,-
