"System Configurations" module is unique and innovative RAM Commander function that allows producers of several blocks of a product that can be combined in various configurations, to compare the reliability of the different configurations using the existing product tree, without needing to descend to the component level.

Utilizing the already created product tree with reliability and maintainability calculations performed, user can easily create an unlimited number of configurations where system blocks appear in different quantities and in various combinations of reliability models.

The system configuration function allows the comparison of reliability data of an unlimited number of different configurations built from new or existing blocks in the product tree. The function allows the creation of new configurations, inserting new or existing blocks, changing values and then transforming it into an RBD.

Each configurations contains a sequence of system elements, with quantity and redundancy model (serial, parallel, K-out-of-N) for each element. Example below shows to different product configurations:

RAM Commander may build RBD diagram automatically and calculate MTBF, Mct and MTBCF. Then engineers may compare different configurations.
