A draft for a comprehensive conceptual understanding of fault-tolerant control and its management is proposed. This management is considered a part of the technical failure and fault management that comprizes technical and organizational aspects. The latter management is described briefly with respect to its objectives, functions, means, purposes and to faults, fault tolerance and redundancy as well. The fault-tolerant control management is in the centre of the description with a reference to both the three basic aspects plant, control system and controlled system and the two main aspects system accomodation and, in a general sense, control situation.
