Safety versus availability graphical user interface
First Claim
Patent Images
1. An industrial automation system that visualizes availability and safety levels, comprising:
- an optimization component that generates a voting configuration that provides an optimized combination of a safety level and an availability level based upon available redundancy; and
a graphical user interface that presents a visualization of the safety level and the availability level.
