Abstract
A method and device for controlling operational sequences, in particular in a vehicle, a functional unit being connected to a bus system, the functional unit and/or the bus system being monitored by a monitoring unit, and the monitoring unit disconnecting, by an access operation, the connection of the functional unit to the bus system in a reliability case, the monitoring unit's access or operation being configurable by the functional unit so that the access path of the monitoring unit is interruptable by a configuration apparatus, arrangement or structure.
Claims10
A method for controlling an operational sequence in a vehicle, in which a functional unit is connected to a bus system, the method comprising:
- monitoring at least one of the functional unit and the bus system using a monitoring unit;
- and
- disconnecting a connection of the functional unit to the bus system in a reliability case by an access operation using the monitoring unit;
- wherein the access operation of the monitoring unit is configurable by the functional unit;
- wherein the functional unit is capable of configuring the access operation by being capable of changing a condition when the access operation is to be performed.
A method for controlling an operational sequence in a vehicle, in which a functional unit is connected to a bus system, the method comprising:
- monitoring at least one of the functional unit and the bus system using a monitoring unit;
- and
- disconnecting a connection of the functional unit to the bus system in a reliability case by an access operation using the monitoring unit;
- wherein the access operation of the monitoring unit is configurable by the functional unit;
- and
- wherein the access operation is configurable so that the functional unit is connected to at least one of a configuration arrangement and a storage area, and at least one of writes and erases at least one configuration value in the at least one of the configuration arrangement and the storage area, the access operation of the monitoring unit only being allowed for a particular written-in configuration value.
A method for controlling an operational sequence in a vehicle, in which a functional unit is connected to a bus system, the method comprising:
- monitoring at least one of the functional unit and the bus system using a monitoring unit;
- and
- disconnecting a connection of the functional unit to the bus system in a reliability case by an access operation using the monitoring unit;
- wherein the access operation of the monitoring unit is configurable by the functional unit;
- and
- wherein, in a system including at least the functional unit and the monitoring unit, different operating modes are differentiated, and the access operation of the monitoring unit is configured as a function of the operating modes.
A device for controlling an operational sequence in a vehicle, the device comprising:
- a control unit connectable to a bus system;
- a monitoring unit for monitoring at least one of the control unit and the bus system, and for disconnecting a connection of the control unit to the bus system in a reliability case by an access operation;
- and
- an arrangement for enabling the control unit to configure the access operation of the monitoring unit, wherein the control unit is capable of configuring the access operation by being capable of changing a condition when the access operation is to be performed.
A device for controlling an operational sequence in a vehicle and being connectable to a control unit and a bus system, the device comprising:
- a monitoring unit for monitoring at least one of the control unit and the bus system, and for disconnecting a connection of the control unit to the bus system in a reliability case by an access operation;
- and
- an arrangement for enabling the control unit to configure the access operation of the monitoring unit, wherein the control unit is capable of configuring the access operation by being capable of changing a condition when the access operation is to be performed.
An apparatus for controlling an operational sequence in a vehicle, in which a functional unit is connectable to a bus system, the apparatus comprising:
- means for monitoring at least one of the functional unit and the bus system;
- and
- means for disconnecting in a reliability case a connection of the functional unit to the bus system by an access operation using the means for monitoring;
- wherein the access operation of the means for monitoring is configurable by the functional unit;
- wherein the functional unit is capable of configuring the access operation by being capable of changing a condition when the access operation is to be performed.
