interlocking signals can be transferred with a bus. All secured control operations require
two-step commands: a selection step and an execution step. The secured object control is
responsible for the several tasks.
•
Command authority: ensures that the command source is authorized to operate the
object
•
Mutual exclusion: ensures that only one command source at a time can control the
object
•
Interlocking: allows only safe commands
•
Execution: supervises the command execution
•
Command canceling: cancels the controlling of a selected object.
In direct operation, a single message is used to initiate the control action of a physical
device. The direct operation method uses less communication network capacity and
bandwidth than the SBO method, because the procedure needs fewer messages for
accurate operation.
