| Abstract: Described herein are features related to a bus based timed input output
module (TIO) for use in control systems of physical systems, particularly
where the physical systems are safety critical systems. When the TIO is
powered on, one or more operations are performed by the TIO, wherein the
one or more operations, when performed by the TIO: 1) cause the TIO to be
non-functional, thereby preventing the TIO from improperly or
accidentally activating a Component in communication with the TIO; 2)
clears the TIO of previous operations (if any); and 3) facilitates
compatibility of the TIO with an arbitrary Component. |
