Failure system

Failure tree
You can place elements handling failures in the tree. They are responsible for behaviour in the case of failure. Only horn, lamp and acknowledgement push button are assigned.
Below in the tree the single failures are located, where a parent element represents the group or collective failures. A failure is like a variable. It can be set and read, but cannot be reset directly. Every failure has configurable functions.

Just preset the operation with parameters instead of programming it
What shall happen? Shall the lamp always be on or should it flash slowly/quickly? Shall the horn turn on at every failure or be quiet after the first reaction until the complete failure is repaired? Shall the failure be protocolized? Shall the machine be stopped automatically? Of course the last events are shown with time.
