Checking of functions of a control system having components

摘要

A method for checking functions, to be checked, of a control system, the control system having components to be checked, in particular redundant components, and an evaluation unit which evaluates the operability of the components on the basis of status reports of the components, the method including a component-side check of the functions, to be checked, of the components to be checked, and a system-wide check of at least one, but not all, of the functions checked on the component side.

1. A method for checking functions of a control system, the control system including components to be checked, and an evaluation unit, which evaluates an operability of the components on the basis of status reports of the components, the method comprising:
component-side checking of the functions of the components; outputting, by each of the components, an individual status report as a result of the component-side checking if the component does not detect a fault during the checking; system-wide checking, by the evaluation unit, of at least one, but not all, of the functions checked by the component-side checking, based on an evaluation of at least one of the individual status reports; and outputting an evaluation signal as a result of the system-wide checking.
