MONITORING AND SUPPORT BODIES AND PROCEDURES FOR MONITORING A TECHNICAL APPLICATION WITH HIGH SAFETY REQUIREMENTS, INCLUDING A MANAGEMENT PLANT

摘要

The apparatus (38) is connected to sensors (20,22) and/or actuators (24-30) and analyses, processes and controls their states. The apparatus is connected to the control (36) and transmits to it, in dependence on the state of the sensors and/or actuators, at least one release signal to enable at least one action in the manipulator (10). The execution of this action is monitored by the monitoring and control apparatus (38). In the case of a fault, at least one further signal is generated to bring the system into a safe state. Independent claims also cover a method of monitoring the system.
