A trouble diagnosing device of a control circuit for receiving, as input signals, signals containing information on controlled means and producing, as output signals, control signals for controlling the controlled means on the basis of the input signals, includes modulator means for modulating the input signals by means of a modulation signal having a trouble diagnosing discrimination waveform, and a trouble diagnosing circuit for producing an output signal indicating trouble in the control circuit system when the output signals of said control circuit systems produced upon receipt of the input signals modulated by the modulator means, contain an abnormal signal. In an embodiment of the invention, the modulator means modulate input signals by means of a trouble diagnosing modulation signal having such a small pulse width that electromagnetic actuators for controlling the controlled means are not able to respond thereto. In another embodiment of the invention, the trouble diagnosing circuit is equipped with a circuit for producing a discrimination waveform signal solely depended on the starting points of the discrimination waveforms of the modulation signals and on the starting points of the discrimination waveforms of the control signals so that trouble in the control circuit system having various waveform signals can be diagnosed without being restricted by waveforms subsequent to the starting points of the modulation signals and control signals.
In a control system, a trouble diagnosing device for diagnosing trouble in a control circuit or in an actuator wherein said control circuit receives an input signal representative of information about a controlled means which is controlled by the actuator and transmits controlling indicia to the actuator for controlling the operation of the controlled means;
In a trouble diagnosing device of a control system for receiving, as input signals, detection signals formed by detecting conditions of controlled means which are representative of the conditions of said controlled means, and for feeding after logical operation to actuator means as output signals, control signals for actuating the actuator means so as to properly control the operations of the controlled means,
In a trouble diagnosing device of a control system for receiving, as input signals, detection signals formed by detecting conditions of controlled means, and for feeding after logical operation to a plurality of actuator means, as output signals, control signals for actuating the actuator means so as to perperly control, in cooperation with one another, the operation of the controlled means,
In a trouble diagnosing device of a multiple control system provided independently to a plurality of controlled means, for receiving, as input signals, detection signals formed by detecting conditions of the respective controlled means and thus representative of the conditions of the controlled means, and for feeding after logical operation, as output signals, control signals to a plurality of actuator means at least one of which is provided to each of the controlled means so as to properly control the operations of the controlled means,
