AN INTERLOCK SYSTEM WITH SELF-DIAGNOSIS FUNCTION, AND A METHOD FOR SELF-DIAGNOSIS OF THE INTERLOCK SYSTEM

摘要

The interlock system (60) according to the invention comprises an interlock circuit (30), an interlock generator (10) which is situated in the interlock circuit (30) and is designed to generate an interlock signal and conduct it via the interlock circuit (30), and an interlock detector (2), which is connected to the interlock circuit (30) and is designed to detect the interlock signal conducted via the interlock circuit (30). The interlock system (60) further comprises a plurality of active and/or passive interlock participants (45) situated in the interlock circuit (30). The plurality of active and/or passive interlock participants (45) situated in the interlock circuit (30) can be bypassed via at least one switching means (8). A method for diagnosis of the interlock detector (2) and/or the interlock generator (10) of an interlock system (60) is also claimed.
