A verification system monitors the operation of a digital control system in order to insure proper operation. The verification system receives control signals and monitors these control signals to determine whether operation is proper. The digital control system is adapted for operational control of various equipment. The verification system monitors control signals received from the digital control system as well as the status of the equipment, where appropriate, in determining whether the operation of the digital control system is proper. The verification system includes various portions which monitor the control signals at various stages. If there is an error detected at one of the stages, an error signal is generated which prevents operation of the associated equipment.
A verification system for use in a digital control system, the digital control system providing at least one control signal to said verification system, said verification system comprising:
A digital control system for electro-mechanical equipment comprising:
A digital control system according to claim wherein said control signal defines a waveform of a defined configuration including at least one high period and at least one low period.
A digital control system according to 14, wherein said actuating means comprises a plurality of relays for generating a plurality of output signals, with at least a first relay providing at least one output signal to said first detection means and at least a second relay providing at least one output signal to said second detection means.
A method for verifying operation of a digital control system for electro-mechanical equipment, said method including the steps of:
