Abstract

A multi-function system comprising a plurality of peripherals having different levels of susceptibility to environmental events, at least one event detector configured to detect environmental events, a controller coupled to receive an event detected signal from the at least one event detector, a communication interface communicatively coupling the controller and each peripheral that includes an internal central processing unit, and a dedicated control interface communicatively coupling the controller and the plurality of peripherals. The controller is configured to control circumvention procedures of each peripheral via the dedicated control interface based on the detected event and the level of susceptibility of the peripheral.
