  • Publication number: 20200225667
    Abstract: A monitoring method includes: performing, by a first arithmetic and logic unit of an electronic circuit unit, a first processing rule to obtain a first processing result, performing, by a second arithmetic and logic unit of an electronic circuit unit, a second processing rule to obtain a second processing result, and, using a protection module of a safety area of the electronic circuit unit, identifying an error-free state of the electronic circuit unit in response to the first and second results having a predefined relationship to each other and/or the first and second results having a predefined relationship to a predefined criterion, where the protection module is configured to ensure that algorithms are carried out in a manner that is better protected from an incorrect execution than the first and second arithmetic and logic units.
