Metrological verification of cyberphysical systems

This article presents the features of functioning the cyber-physical systems and
their components. The possibility to connect measuring devices of electrical
quantities, measuring devices of non-electrical quantities, and sensors with data
interface to cyber-physical systems components is considered. The analysis
opportunity of sensors possible accession to embedded system control is examined.
The classification by the sensors output signal type is considered. On the basis of
the sensors classification concluded that the cyber-physical systems is most
expedient to use intelligent sensors. According to the results of the analysis of the
cyber-physical system characteristics and components a multilevel remote
metrological verification of cyber-physical systems is proposed. With the proposed
algorithm the cyber-physical system components can be verified at the request of
any component, subsystem or system as a whole. Also a person can initiate a
metrological testing process, if there is suspicion of incorrect operation or its time
for cyber-physical system routine verification.
