25、 which the reliability block diagram (RBD) is one. The purpose of each method and their individual or combined applicability in evaluating the reliability and availability of a given system or component should be examined by the analyst prior to starting work on the RBD. Consideration should also be
26、 given to the results obtainable from each method, data required to perform the analysis, complexity of analysis and other factors identified in this standard. A reliability block diagram (RBD) is a pictorial representation of a systems reliability perform-ance. It shows the logical connection of (f
27、unctioning) components needed for successful operation of the system (hereafter referred to as “system success”). EN 61078:2006 6 ANALYSIS TECHNIQUES FOR DEPENDABILITY RELIABILITY BLOCK DIAGRAM AND BOOLEAN METHODS 1 Scope This International Standard describes procedures for modelling the dependabili
28、ty of a system and for using the model in order to calculate reliability and availability measures. The RBD modelling technique is intended to be applied primarily to systems without repair and where the order in which failures occur does not matter. For systems where the order of failures is to be
29、taken into account or where repairs are to be carried out, other modelling techniques, such as Markov analysis, are more suitable. It should be noted that although the word “repair” is frequently used in this standard, the word “restore” is equally applicable. Note also that the words “item” and “bl
30、ock” are used extensively throughout this standard: in most instances interchangeably. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.

39、 in this standard are based, is the assumption that components (or blocks representing them) can exist in only two states: working (“up” state) or failed (“down” state). Another important assumption is that failure (or repair) of any block must not affect the probability of failure of (or repair to)
40、 ANY other block within the system being modelled. This implies that there should be available, in effect, sufficient repair resources to service those blocks needing repair and that when two or more persons are repairing a particular block at the same time, neither gets in the others way. Thus fail
41、ures of and repairs to individual blocks are considered to be statistically independent events. 5.2 Sequential events RBDs are not suitable for modelling order-dependent or time-dependent events. In such instances, other methods such as Markov analysis or Petri nets should be used. 5.3 Distribution
42、of times to failure Provided the assumptions noted in 5.1 are valid, there is no restriction, other than mathematical tractability, on the distribution that may be used to describe the times to failure or repair. 6 Establishment of system success/failure definitions 6.1 General considerations A prer
43、equisite for constructing system reliability models is a sound understanding of the ways in which the system can operate. Systems often require more than one success/failure definition. These should be defined and listed. An RBD diagram can be made on different levels: system level, sub-system (modu
44、le) level or assembly level. When an RBD is made for further analysis (for example for FMEA analysis), a level suitable for such analysis has to be chosen. 9 EN 61078:2006 In addition, there should be clear statements concerning functions to be performed, performance parameters and permissible limit
45、s on such parameters, environmental and operating conditions. Various qualitative analysis techniques may be employed in the construction of an RBD. Therefore the systems success/failure definition has to be established. For each system success/failure definition the next step is to divide the syste
46、m into logical blocks appropriate to the purpose of the reliability analysis. Particular blocks may represent system substructures, which in turn may be represented by other RBDs (system reduction see 8.4). For the quantitative evaluation of an RBD, various methods are available. Depending on the ty
47、pe of structure, simple Boolean techniques (see 8.1.3) and/or path and cut set analyses may be employed. For a definition of cut set see IEC 61025 (FTA). Calculations may be made using basic component reliability/availability methods and analytical methods or Monte Carlo simulation. An advantage wit
48、h Monte Carlo simulation is that the events in the RBD do not have to be combined analytically since the simulation itself takes into account whether each block is failed or functional (see 8.1). Since the reliability block diagram describes the logical relations needed for system function, the bloc
49、k diagram does not necessarily represent the way the hardware is physically connected, although an RBD generally follows, as far as possible, the physical system connections. 6.2 Detailed considerations 6.2.1 System operation It may be possible to use a system in more than one functional mode. If separate systems were used for each mode, such modes should be treated independently of other modes, and separate reliability models sho
