ABSTRACT:
A processor control system for controlling items of hardware includes pairs of processors associated with the hardware items. One processor of each pair operates the process or processes for controlling the associated hardware, while the other processor of each pair operates other processes. In the event of a fault in one processor the processes on that processor are transferred to spare processors and the hardware control process is transferred to the other processor of the pair. This arrangement makes more effective use of standby processing capacity.
