Information redundancy techniques can be applied through software as an additional runtime diagnostic. There are many techniques that can be applied, such as a read back of written values and multiple reads of the same target data with a comparison of the results.
To provide diagnostic coverage for network elements outside the TMS320F280013x MCU (wiring harness, connectors, and transceiver), end-to-end safety mechanisms are applied. These mechanisms can provide diagnostic coverage inside the TMS320F280013x MCU. There are many different schemes applied, such as additional message checksums, redundant transmissions, time diversity in transmissions, and so forth. Most commonly, checksums are added to the payload section of a transmission to verify the correctness of a transmission. The checksums, sequence counter, and timeout expectation (or time stamp) are applied with any protocol-level parity and checksums. As these schemes are generated and evaluated by the software, at either end of the communication, the whole communication path is safed, resulting in end-to-end safing.
Any end-to-end communication diagnostics that are implemented must consider the failure modes and potential safety measures described in IEC 61784-3:2016 and summarized in IEC 61784-3:2016, Table 1.
