ABSTRACT:
A logic circuit (34) is provided for preventing the application of energizing voltage to a positioning motor in the case of a circuit failure in the drivers stage of a control system. An equality gate provides a signal to each AND gate corresponding to a failure detection criterion whenever signals of the same level are present at the respective transistors controlling operation of the motor into opposite directions. At one AND gate a signal is provided if either of the transistors is conducting, indicating a failure if there is no control signal. At the other AND gate a signal is provided if either terminal of the motor is connected to energizing potential, likewise indicating a failure if no control signal at a transistor input is present. If either AND gate responds the equivalent of a control signal is applied to a pair of diodes to both of the transistor inputs, thereby blocking the motor.
