This article will illustrate why it is necessary to introduce the control-oriented model to hazard-based safety engineering (HBSE), based on a typical large core switching fan-tray architecture design and related failure model. The authors also provide detailed design and evaluation guidelines, which can ensure the control of random hardware failure and avoid systematic failure (both hardware and software), then achieve the safety target (i.e., safety integrity level).
