Abstract
The invention relates to a monitoring system, having an output module for generating a control signal in response to an input signal, a monitoring module for generating the input signal for the output module, an output device for outputting an output signal in response to the control signal, and a feedthrough device for preventing outputting of the output signal. According to the invention, the monitoring module is designed to instruct the feedthrough device to prevent outputting of the output signal when there is a deviation between the control signal and a control signal which is expected on the basis of the input signal.
Claims20
A monitoring system, having:
- an output module for generating a control signal in response to an input signal;
- a monitoring module for generating the input signal for the output module;
- an output device for outputting an output signal in response to the control signal;
- and
- a feedthrough device for preventing the outputting of the output signal;
- wherein the monitoring module is designed to instruct the feedthrough device to prevent the outputting of the output signal when there is a deviation between the control signal and an expected control signal that is expected on the basis of the input signal.
A method for monitoring an output module using a monitoring module, having:
- generating, by the output module, a control signal in response to an input signal;
- generating, by the monitoring module, the input signal for the output module;
- and
- outputting an output signal in response to the control signal, wherein the outputting of the output signal is prevented by a feedthrough device when there is a deviation between the control signal and an expected control signal that is expected on the basis of the input signal.
