Programmable electronic power regulator

A programmable electronic power regulator comprising:

• a power module configured to control, by an actuator control signal, at least one actuator that is connectable to the power module;
• a control module configured to actuate, by a power module control signal, the power module;
• and
• an internal monitoring module configured to transfer the control module to an emergency operation, in which the control module is configured to execute a predefined error response and place the actuator in a safe state, wherein the internal monitoring module is configured to monitor a system state, to detect a critical operating state, and to output at least one error signal,
• wherein the control module comprises:
• a basic controller, which is configured to output the power module control
• signal, and in which functions for open- and closed-loop control of the at least one actuator are implemented, which are required for an emergency operation in a critical operating state,
• an additional controller, in which functions that are not needed for the emergency operation in the critical operating state are implemented, and
• a controller disconnection point, which connects the basic controller with the additional controller via a control connection, and which is configured to receive the at least one error signal from the internal monitoring module and to at least partially disconnect the control connection upon receipt of the at least one error signal.
