  • Publication number: 20220111807
    Abstract: A method for monitoring a cable harness. In the method, at least one value of at least one electrical variable in the cable harness is acquired and at least one signal, which represents this at least one value, is transmitted to at least one evaluator. A number of containers, which in turn represent a value range for the allocated electrical variable in each case, is allocated to each evaluator. The at least one signal is evaluated in such a way that the acquired values are allocated to the containers while taking the respective value range into account. The values allocated to the container are counted in each container. If a threshold value allocated to the container is exceeded, an action is triggered.

  • Patent number: 6901350
    Abstract: A method and a device for monitoring the functioning of a system by checking input signals, output signals and at least one function unit of the system. The system includes at least one lower-level subsystem and/or is a component of a higher-level system. The system includes components implemented in the form of hardware, including sensors, actuators and/or function computers. An intended function of the system is subdivided hierarchically as a function of the complexity of the function into at least one subsystem function which is in turn subdivided into at least one function unit, and the method is structured hierarchically into multiple monitoring layers.

  • Patent number: 6856940
    Abstract: A method of monitoring the functioning of a system by checking input signals, output signals, and functions of the system is provided. The system may have lower-level subsystems or may be a component of a higher-level system. The system has hardware components, including sensors, actuators, and/or function computers. A flexible structure, applicable to various systems to be monitored, is provided for the monitoring method. This monitoring method is structured into multiple decentralized monitoring functions provided in the individual functions of the system for monitoring the functioning of the individual functions, and structured into at least one higher-level, functions-overreaching monitoring instance for coordinating the monitoring functions.

  • Publication number: 20030023407
    Abstract: A method and a device for monitoring the functioning of a system by checking input signals, output signals and at least one function unit of the system. The system includes at least one lower-level subsystem and/or is a component of a higher-level system. The system includes components implemented in the form of hardware, including sensors, actuators and/or function computers. To permit easier unambiguous allocation of any faults occurring in the system to the various function units of the system, an intended function of the system is subdivided hierarchically as a function of the complexity of the function into at least one subsystem function which is in turn subdivided into at least one function unit, and the method is structured hierarchically into multiple monitoring layers.
