state of nominal operation:
    

  • all subsystems work correctly.
  • all actions of the module are globally optimal.
  • comfort criteria apply.




stand by:
    

  • global communication subsystem is disconnected or down.
  • all actions of the module are locally optimal.
  • comfort criteria apply.




safe state:
    

  • global communication subsystem and local control system fail to work.
  • all actions of the module are safe.
  • safety criteria apply.
