<p>A monitoring system monitors a microcomputer in which an angle calculator calculates the electrical angle of a motor using output signals from a rotation angle sensor. In the microcomputer, a control signal generator generates a coded control signal that indicates the range to which the calculated electrical angle belongs. In the monitoring system, the electrical angle detected by the rotation angle sensor is multiplied by an excitation signal provided for the rotation angle sensor, and an angle detector detects the resultant signals. Based on the detected signals, a supervisory signal generator outputs a coded supervisory signal that indicates the range to which the electrical angle detected by the rotation angle sensor belongs. Then a fault detector determines that a failure occurs in the microcomputer, if a comparator determines that the coded control signal disagrees with the coded supervisory signal.</p> |
