ABSTRACT:
Measuring signals are derived from a plurality of redundantly provided sensors, the sensor signals of which are sampled and digitized at a predetermined rate, and are processed by computers also provided redundantly. Each of the computers processes the sensor signals with a main program and a monitoring program. A first computer is arranged to process in each computing cycle (n) sensor signals sampled in a predetermined sampling cycle (n), which is preferably identical with the computing cycle. Further computers are provided. Each of the further computers processes in each computing cycle n the sensor signals which have been sampled in sampling cycles (n-1), (n-2), (n-3), respectively, which lead the computing cycle by predetermined time intervals. A fault logic serves to make decisions on program faults from the output data obtained with the main program and the monitoring program in the various computing cycles.
