  • Patent number: 6513131
    Abstract: A self-checking circuit, which is useful for a highly reliable system configuration, includes a logic circuit having an error detection function. For function blocks for feeding out a plurality of signals that are at least duplexed, the logic circuit compares the output signals of the function blocks, and detects an error on the basis of results of the comparison. The logic circuit comprises synthesizing means provided to superimpose inherent waveforms assigned in advance to the respective output signals of the function blocks onto the output signals of one of the function blocks. The inherent waveforms are orthogonal waveforms generated by an orthogonal waveform generator circuit. The logic circuit also comprises comparison means for comparing a signal output of the synthesizing means with the signal output of the other function block to detect an error. The whole circuit including the function blocks are judged normal only if the waveforms inherent to both output signals exist.

  • Patent number: 5805797
    Abstract: An ATP device generates control data for two systems from an ATP command speed signal, provides duplicate logic units in the ATP device so as to process the respective control data, provides at least two CRC data for checking the control data for each system, and changes the CRC data of the opposite logic unit or selects one of the two according to the content of a failure detection signal from each of the duplicated logic units. It is possible to check the control data and the operation of each logic circuit in such a way that only when all the data, circuits, and elements operate normally will an output signal for controlling the object to be controlled be outputted, and when a failure is detected in a part, an output signal to that effect is outputted. Therefore, when a failure occurs, a fail safe function for performing control on the safe side is made possible.
