Monitoring module and method for determining the status of electrical components

摘要

According to one example, there is provided a monitoring module for determining the status of electrical components in an array of N electrical components. The monitoring module comprises a resistance measurer to measure the resistance across a pair of diagnostic terminals, a comparator to compare the measured resistance with a set of reference resistances, and a status module to determine the status of at least one electrical component in the array based on the comparison.

1. A monitoring module to determine a status of an array of electrical components, comprising:
a resistance measurer to measure a resistance of the array of electric components connected in parallel across a pair of diagnostic terminals; a comparator to compare the measured resistance with a set of reference resistances; and a status module to identify, based on the comparing, which electrical component in the array of electrical components has been disconnected, the status module to identify a first electrical component in the array of electrical components as disconnected in response to the measured resistance matching a first reference resistance of the set of reference resistances, and to identify a second electrical component in the array of electrical components as disconnected in response to the measured resistance matching a second reference resistance of the set of reference resistances.
