Abstract
A redundant safety controller configured to monitor communications between at least one controller and a by-wire control system. The at least one controller has a first hardware architecture and is configured to manage operation of the by-wire control system. The redundant safety controller has a second hardware architecture. The first hardware architecture is different from the second hardware architecture. The at least one controller is configured to implement a first instruction set architecture. The redundant safety controller is configured to implement a second instruction set architecture. The first instruction set architecture is different from the second instruction set architecture. The redundant safety controller is configured to determine whether the at least one controller has failed and assume management of the operation of the by-wire control system based on the determination.
