This lecture covers the concept of dependability evaluation in industrial automation, focusing on determining expected reliability, component requirements, repair intervals, and redundancy. It emphasizes the importance of dependability analysis in system design and contract establishment. Topics include reliability definitions, failure rates, bathtub curves, infant mortality, stress and burn-in tests, hardware failures, and Markov models for reliability and availability calculations.
