German term

3-Fehlersicherheit

German to English Tech/Engineering Engineering: Industrial wireless safety technology
Zu den wesentlichen Verfügbarkeits-gewährleistenden Maßnahmen gehört zum einen eine Redundanz der Funkfrequenzen, d. h. die Funkstrecke wird wechselweise im lizenzfreien 433 MHz-Band und 868 MHz-Band betrieben. Zum zweiten gehört – neben einer Vielzahl weiterer Maßnahmen – eine 3-Fehlersicherheit nicht oder nicht konsistent empfangener Sendeprotokolle dazu. Darüber hinaus lassen sich wechselseitige Beeinflussungen von ESALAN-Wireless-Systemen selbst über 4 unterschiedliche Kanalpaarungen und über Einstellmöglichkeiten der Sendeleistung vermeiden.

triple fault tolerance

Fault tolerant systems employ a range of technologies that improve system integrity and reduce the likelihood of control systems failures....
...but if two or more resources fail in most dual or triple fault tolerant systems, the entire system may fail.

In der Quelle geht es um Hardware, nicht um Protokoll- bzw. Übertragungsfehler. Aber die Begriffe sollten die selben sein.

3-error safety

cf. explanation in link below - the device does an error-triggered procedure after 3 errors (as opp. to after 1 error = 1-Fehlersicherheit)
although I can't find the actual translation for this term, I am relatively sure that "Fehler" is to be interpreted in the sense of "error" (statistically treated aberration) and Sicherheit in the sense of "safety" since the whole concept is a safety feature, as opp. to security or confidence...

triple failsafe

Naturally, you would need to reword the sentence to avoid something gross like 'failsafeness'. Personally, I prefer 'triple fault tolerance', since I'm old enough to remember when 'failsafe' meant 'assuming a safe state in the event of failure' instead of 'fault-proof', but 'failsafe' is now commonly used in the latter sense.
