double "crossed" failure See explanation below... Explanation: It means... If you have Unit 1 that contains a Tx and an Rx, and a similar Unit 2, there are various permutations of failure possible: Any one of Tx 1 or Rx1 or Tx 2 or Rx 2 might fail — a simple failure Both Tx 1 and Rx 1 OR both Tx 2 and Rx 2 might fail — a 'double failure' OR it could happen that Tx 1 AND Rx 2 (or conversely Tx 2 AND Rx 1) both fail at the same time — this is a 'double failure' that is also 'crossed'. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 heure (2017-06-04 21:27:03 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Obviously, in that last scenario, a slightly more complicated switch-over mechanism is needed, which is what is being described in your document. |
