INTEGRITY MONITORING SYSTEM, METHOD FOR OPERATING AN INTEGRITY MONITORING SYSTEM, AND INTEGRITY MONITORING UNIT

摘要

The invention relates to an integrity monitoring system, a method for operating the integrity monitoring system, and an integrity monitoring unit. The integrity monitoring system for monitoring the runtime integrity of a control device comprises the control device having an automation device for collecting operating state data of the control device. The system also comprises an integrity monitoring unit which is detachably connected directly to the control device in order to monitor the integrity status of the control device on the basis of operating state data transmitted from the automation device to the integrity monitoring unit. The integrity monitoring unit is connected to the control device for data transmission. Operating state data is collected in the automation device of the control device. The operating state data is transmitted from the automation device to the integrity monitoring unit. The operating state data is evaluated in the integrity monitoring unit. After an integrity status of the control device is checked, an integrity status is output.
