Abstract
A system and method for operating, at a near location, a safety-critical device located at a far location. The system includes a first operating input device to be operated at the near location, providing a first barrier control signal; and a second operating input device to be operated at the near location, providing a second barrier control signal. The first barrier control signal is communicatively connected to a near end of a first secure communication tunnel through the non-secure communication network, and the second barrier control signal is communicatively connected to a near end of a second secure communication tunnel through the non-secure communication network. A far end of the first secure communication tunnel is communicatively connected to an activating input of a first barrier circuit, and a far end of the second secure communication tunnel is communicatively connected to an activating input of a second barrier circuit.
