When synthesizing systems for railway interlocking, it is recommended to use automated models to implement the logic of railway automation and remote control units. Finite-state machines (FSMs) can be implemented on any hardware component. When using relay technology, the functional safety of electrical interlocking is achieved by using uncontrolled (safety) relays with a high coefficient of asymmetry of failures in types 1 → 0 and 0 → 1. When using programmable components, the use of backup and diverse protection methods is required. This paper presents a flexible approach to synthesizing FSMs for railway automation and remote control units that offer both individual and route-based control. Unlike existing solutions, this proposal considers the pre-failure states of railway automation and remote control units during the finite-state machine synthesis stage. This enables the implementation of self-checking and self-diagnostic modules to manage automation units. By increasing the number of states for individual devices and considering the states of interconnected objects, the transition graphs can be expanded. This expansion allows for the synthesis of the transition graph of the control subsystem and other systems. The authors used a field-programmable gate array (FPGA) to implement a finite-state machine. In this case, the proposal is to encode the states of a finite-state machine using weight-based sum codes in the residue class ring based on a given modulus. The best coverage of errors occurring at the outputs of the logic converter in the structure of the FSM can be ensured by selecting the weighting coefficients and the value of the module. This paper presents an example of synthesizing an FPGA-based FSM using state encoding through modular weight-based sum codes. The operation of the synthesized device was modeled. It was found to operate according to the same algorithm as the real devices. When synthesizing self-checking and self-controlled train control devices, it is recommended to consider the solutions proposed in this paper. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
