The nomenclature for system structures describes the possible degradation behaviour after fault detection and fault localisation for the central processing units. Variations are possible due to different implementation possibilities. This table shall give a first guideline.
In the I/O area different degradation mechanisms are possible and implemented on the different systems.

Part 4 of the IEC 61508 gives the defintion of
MooN : M out of N channel architecture (for example 1oo2 is 1 out of 2 architecture, where either of the two channels can perform the safety function)
MooND : M out of N channel architecture with diagnostic
