Control device e.g. personal computer, for e.g. joint robot, has two channels for processing independent codes with mutual safety monitoring, and main storage provided for accessing two processor cores of multi-processor core

摘要

The device has two channels (16, 18) for processing independent codes (12, 14) with a mutual safety monitoring. Input and output interfaces (50, 20) are provided for communicating input signals that are evaluated by the independent codes and control signals that are generated at a machine or a system (10) such as joint robot. A main storage (28) is provided for accessing two processor cores (24, 26) of a multi-processor core (22). Two variants (42, 44) of execution of the codes assigned to the two processor cores are stored in the main storage. An independent claim is also included for a method for error-proof controlling of a machine or a system.
