1. A method for testing whether a control system (2) is capable of handling faults, failures, or failure modes (8) in a petroleum process plant (1), said control system (2) arranged for being connected with input signal lines (30) for receiving sensor and other input signals (3r) from said petroleum process plant (1), and connected with control signals lines (40) for transmitting control signals (4) to said petroleum process plant (1), comprising the following steps:
- a) connecting said control system (2) using said input signal line (30) for receiving simulated sensor or other input signals (3s) from a simulated petroleum process plant (10), and b) connecting said control system (2) using said control signal line (40) for transmitting control signals (4) to said simulated petroleum process plant (10), characterised in c) connecting an input signal modifier (9) to said input signal line (30), said input signal modifier (9) modifying one or more of said input signals (3) for transmitting one or more modified input signals (13) and remaining non-modified input signals (3) to said control system (2).

Abstract
A system for testing whether a control system (2) is capable of detection and handling of faults, failures or failure modes (8) in a petroleum process plant (1), said control system (2) arranged for being
- connected with input signal lines (30) for receiving sensor and other input signals (30) from said petroleum process plant (1), and
- connected with control signals lines (40) for transmitting control signals (4) to said petroleum process plant (1), comprising the following features
- said control system (2) arranged for receiving simulated sensor signals or other input signals (3s) from a simulated petroleum process plant (10) over said input signal line (30),
- said control system (2) arranged for transmitting control signals (4) to said petroleum process plant simulator (10) over said control signal line (40), The novel and inventive of the invention comprises the following features:
- an input signal modifier (9) arranged for being connected to said input signal line (30),
- said input signal modifier (9) arranged for modifying one or more said input signals (3) into modified input signals (13),
- said input signal modifier (9) being arranged for transmitting one or more of said modified input signals (13) and remaining non-modified input signals (3) to said control system (2).
