	%X A fault detection and identification (FDI) technique is
presented to create a fault tolerant control system (FTC). The fault
detection is achieved by monitoring the position of the light source
using an array of light sensors. When a decision is made about the
presence of a fault an identification process is initiated to locate the
faulty component and reconfigure the controller signals. The signals
provided by the sensors are predictable; therefore the existence of a
fault is easily identified. Identification of the faulty sensor is based on
the dynamics of the frame. The technique is not restricted to a
particular type of controllers and the results show consistency.
