English to Dutch translations [PRO]
Tech/Engineering - Computers: Software / turbine control systems

English term or phrase: voting

Sentence: "The "TMRIO" program was added for voting of triple modular redundant Input/Output devices."

How should I understand/translate 'voting' in this context?
This is about GE software updates for the control of turbines in Gent which is being developed in China so I am wondering if a non-native language or translation issue might be involved.
I don't have a whole lot of context for this particular sentence. The material documents a series of software updates.

Dutch translation:voting

Explanation:
The English term is used in the Dutch computer science language:

Bij drievoudige redundantie wordt vaak een 'voting'-systeem gebruikt, alle drie systemen zijn actief en voeren synchroon dezelfde bewerkingen uit. De uitgangssignalen worden continu vergeleken; normaal gesproken zouden alle drie uitgangen hetzelfde moeten zijn. Zodra er één afwijkt, is er reden om aan te nemen dat dit systeem niet in orde is en zal dit signaal niet gebruikt worden.
