Sammelstörung
cumulative fault


Explanation:
I'm just translating a list of faults from English into French containing EXACTLY this term!!! (what a coincidence!)

"Störung" is certainly "fault" ("alarm" would be "Alarm" in German, and an alarm is possibly generated BECAUSE OF a fault).

"Sammel-" refers to a cumulative signal.

neutral  Radian Yazynin: Cumulative signal is one thing, overall (Sammel-) failure is rather a state of a system characterized by complete inoperability.

disagree  Klaus Herrmann: Cumulative means somthing's being added up, i.e. a sum. That's not what Sammelalarm means

  -> I meant "cumulative" in the sense you pointed out , at least that's the meaning it does have in the text I'm translating. However "Common fault" is definitively better!

Another synonym would be \'overall failure\'

disagree  Klaus Herrmann: centralized fault would mean that any fault will occur at the same central location. That's convenient, but not what Sammelfehler means. Overall failure would be understood as a complete loss of system functions. Again, this is not what Sammelfehler means
