The Fault Insertion matrices are designed specifically for safety critical applications where the response of a control system is required to be evaluated when sensor connections behave in unexpected ways. This is particularly important in safety critical applications, such as automotive and aeronautical systems, where unexpected controller behavior could result in loss of life or substantial asset loss.
All these matrices feature a breakout arrangement that allows faults to be attached to the sensor lines via the Y axis. This includes the breaking of a connection or the adding of a series defect – all of which can simulate connectivity problems in the system. The three pin breakout versions allow the connection to be swapped for a “bad” sensor simulation.
The use of a programmable matrix for fault insertion ensures testing is fast to perform and can be reproduced on subsequent test cycles in the event of corrective action or a system upgrade.

All reed relay matrices use high quality sputtered ruthenium relays that exhibit excellent contact performance under low and medium level switching conditions. For applications that require fault insertion in power circuits and current handling up to 10A, Pickering’s matrices based on electromechanical relays provide an ideal solution.
The matrix design is based on Pickering’s proven BRIC architecture that allows the matrix size required for an application to be selected from the many versions available. Also, any FIBO matrix is available in partially populated configurations giving a cost effective solution for specific applications. Please consult the sales office for details.
Connectors used are fully supported by Pickering’s accessory range of cables.
