A Specification-Driven Approach to Embedded FDIR Code Generation

Fault Detection, Isolation, and Recovery (FDIR) components are essential for managing faults and ensuring safety and reliability in safety-critical applications. This paper presents a specification-driven approach to the automatic generation of embedded FDIR code. Our method leverages formal specifications of fault conditions and recovery procedures to synthesize fault detection and recovery mechanisms, reducing manual coding and the potential for human error. The proposed toolchain translates high-level specifications into platform-specific embedded code, while model checking can be used to validate and verify the FDIR logic. We detail the underlying architecture, the specification language, and the code generation process, highlighting the flexibility and scalability of the approach. Through a case study in the energy domain, we demonstrate the tool’s ability to handle complex fault scenarios, improve development efficiency, and enhance system reliability.
