Short version: Equipment which can "explode" because of ridiculous "superhackers" only happens in Hollywood or when you have a completely incompetent engineer, and I seriously doubt you're going to entrust a multi-thousand dollar rig to an incompetent engineer.
I replied to another of your posts, but let me say again here:
I am a controls engineer, do this for a living, know industry standards.
Yes, you have layers of protection to prevent things from happening, but the electrical with a mechanical back up you seem to think is required is not correct. Having one system that does not affect another system is correct, but quite often both systems are electrical and both systems tie into the same controls network and if you can get to one and reprogram, you can get to the other.
Quite often the mechanical things for protection are put in place for when the control system completely looses power and then the system has a back up safe state that requires no power, but if the controls system is in place and working, those mechanical limits don't matter.
Think about your car. It can go from 0-120 mph, but isn't save beyond 80 mph so they put in a software governor so the gas cuts out when you hit 80 mph. They could put in a mechanical limit as well, but it is more expensive, not required and you can't get to the software normally so they don't need to.
I hack your car and remove that, you can now go 120. I hack your car and remove control of the steering and gas/brake and put the pedal down until 115 is reached and then cut the wheel. Even if there was a mechanical stop so I could not get passed 80 mph, you want the car to be able to go 80 so I can still take control of the car and crash you at 80 mph.
Controls systems are generally safe, have many layers of protection, but most of the things you think exist to stop the controls system from being able to make things go boom don't exist most of the time in most industries. Normally, it is the programmable systems that protect you.
