Abstract

The article regards critical systems precisely controlled by safety units. A new idea of safety logic microcontroller is proposed. It is built on the basis of the simplest mechanisms and technical solutions. This approach allowed to obtain a complex decision-making and control microsystem, in which the applied mechanisms and solutions increased its reliability. As a result, the proposed control unit proved to be a universal solution, which can be used in any critical system.
