  • Patent number: 9042274
    Abstract: An electronic communication system including at least one first communication unit and one second communication unit which are connected to one another by means of at least one first data line. The communication system has a data transmission protocol according to which, in at least one first data transmission mode for synchronized data transmission, the first communication unit transmits a data request signal or a clock signal to the second communication unit via the first data line at least once and the second communication unit transmits a data signal to the first communication unit via the first data line in response to the data request signal or the clock signal.

  • Patent number: 8959392
    Abstract: A redundant two-processor controller having a first processor (1) and a second processor (1) for the synchronous execution of a control program. The controller having at least a first multiplexer (70, 91) for optionally connecting at least a first peripheral unit (72, 95) to be actuated to one of the two processors (1, 2), and at least a first Comparison unit (70, 91) for monitoring the synchronization state of the two processors (1, 2) and for detecting a synchronization error. A restoration control unit (44) is designed to monitor the execution of at least one test program by the two processors (1, 2) after the occurrence of a synchronization error and to evaluate the test results, and which is designed to configure at least the first multiplexer (70, 91).

  • Patent number: 8935569
    Abstract: A control computer system comprising at least two modules (1, 2, 1001, 1002, 1003, 1004, 1021, 1071) which are designed to be redundant with respect to one another. The control computer system having at least one comparison unit (20, 21, 91, 92, 1011, 1012) for monitoring the synchronization state of the at least two redundant modules (1, 2, 1001, 1002, 1003, 1004, 1021, 1071) and for detecting a synchronization error at least one peripheral unit (95, 96, 1022, 1030, 1031, . . . , 1038). At least one switching matrix (21, 1013, 1063) which is set up to allow or block access to the at least two redundant modules or access to the peripheral unit (95, 96, 1022, 1030, 1031, . . .

  • Publication number: 20060150021
    Abstract: The invention discloses an analysis device for an embedded system (9) comprising a CPU (1), a CPU bus (2) and a memory (3). The embedded system has at least one communication module (4) for the input or output of analysis data by way of a test interface (5). The communication module permits the internal memory and the input and output access operations of the embedded system to be monitored and/or logged without using the clock cycles of the CPU (1).
