For interrupts and events, failure can be detected using information about the time behavior of the system. The monitored signals can be either periodic or aperiodic.
For a typical closed-loop control application, most of the critical events are periodic and these periodic events can be monitored with incoherent events being used for fault detection. A few places where the online monitoring of periodic interrupts and events can be employed include:
Monitoring of interrupts and events that are normally not expected during the correct operation can also be used to improve the diagnostic coverage (for example, ECC correctable error interrupt).
