&lt;p&gt;The OVADO²®&lt;sup id="fnref:1"&gt;&lt;a class="footnote-ref" href="https://blog.systerel.fr/posts/2023-01/generating-and-verifying-configuration-data-with-ovado/#fn:1"&gt;1&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/sup&gt; tool has been used for more than a decade to formally
check whether system configuration data comply with their rules in the
context of railway systems&lt;sup id="fnref:2"&gt;&lt;a class="footnote-ref" href="https://blog.systerel.fr/posts/2023-01/generating-and-verifying-configuration-data-with-ovado/#fn:2"&gt;2&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/sup&gt;. OVADO²® is currently deployed in &lt;abbr title="Safety Integrity Level 4"&gt;SIL4&lt;/abbr&gt;
processes compliant with the safety requirements of the &lt;a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEC_61508"&gt;CENELEC
EN 50128&lt;/a&gt;
standard. In these processes, it is considered a
T2-class tool since it only helps to verify the system. This article
describes how the OVADO²® tool has been used, for the first time, by
Systerel to formally generate equipment configuration data derived from
the system configuration data.&lt;/p&gt;
