  • Patent number: 10379144
    Abstract: An arrangement having two redundant modules that monitor one another and that each contain a current or voltage source, which is connected to a first line terminal via a first controllable switch and a first current sensor, wherein each module also has a second line terminal and a ground terminal, between which lies a second current sensor in series with a second controllable switch, where each module, when in the functioning state, closes the controllable switches contained therein, and contains a monitoring device connected to the two current sensors of the modules, the monitoring device generating a monitoring signal identifying the corresponding other module as functioning if at least one of the two current sensors detects a current flow.
