Add a Logic Gate
Description
Modifies an existing fault tree with the addition of a logic gate.
Usage
addLogic(DF, type, at, reversible_cond=FALSE, cond_first=TRUE, human_pbf=NULL,
vote_par=NULL, tag="", label="", name="", name2="", description="")
Arguments
DF |
A fault tree dataframe such as returned from ftree.make or related add... functions. |
type |
A string signifying the type of logic to be applied. Implemented gate types "or","and","inhibit","conditional" (or "cond"), vote, and "alarm" have been implemented. |
at |
The ID or tag name of the parent node for this addition. |
reversible_cond |
A boolean value used only by the conditional gate type indicating whether repair of the input condition is viable to the model. |
cond_first |
A boolean signifying whether the first child to an INHIBIT, ALARM, or PRIORITY logic gate should be taken as the condition. Alternatively, if FALSE, the second child will be taken as a condition. This is primarily a graphic display issue. |
human_pbf |
A probability of failure for a human to respond as needed to an alarm. This value is only used by the alarm gate. |
vote_par |
A vector of vote parameters as c(k,n) for k of n voting. |
tag |
A very short identifying string (typically 5 characters or less) uniquely identifying a basic event for minimal cutset evaluation |
label |
An identifying string for the logic gate. Use of label in ftree.make defines the convention for rest of tree construction. |
name |
A short identifying string (typically less than 24 characters) |
name2 |
A second line, if needed for the identifying string label |
description |
An optional string providing more detail for the resultant event. |
Value
Returns the input fault tree dataframe appended with an entry row to accept the result of the logic calculation.
