Abstract:

Due to the extensive use of distributed, integrated, and modular solutions, complex electronic systems are prone to new issues such as common-cause failures and fault concurrency, which are difficult to address using traditional methods for determining testability parameters. To address the above issue, a novel method for determining testability parameters for complex electronic systems based on colored generalized stochastic Petri nets (CGSPN) is proposed. Firstly, by incorporating requirements such as demand information, constraint boundaries, and maintenance support, a two-level CGSPN model for electronic systems is established. Coloring is introduced to enable real-time tracking of various states of different modules and to handle fault concurrency, while generalized stochastic processing addresses the randomness of common-cause failures.Secondly, a testability parameter processing method incorporating redundancy design is explored through coloring and availability, which enriches the testability system. Finally, a parallel analysis technique integrating different modules and various states is developed, unifying the state transition relationships between system and module levels, and avoiding stage-wise serial processing and equivalent replacement. An example analysis of communication navigation identification (CNI) system demonstrates that the proposed method offers better usability and effectiveness compared to traditional approaches.
