Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a method of detecting an error corresponding to a monitored system. The method may additionally include determining whether the error corresponds to a safety module associated with the monitored system that may have one or more operations that are deemed to affect safety or whether the error corresponds to a safety process associated with the monitored system that may have one or more operations that are deemed to affect safety. In some embodiments, the method may additionally include determining whether to continue operations of the monitored system, where the determination may be based at least on whether the error may correspond to a safety module associated with the monitored system or whether the error corresponds to a safety process associated with the monitored system.

Abstract: A throttle body assembly includes a housing defining a throttle bore with a throttle plate in the bore and mounted on a shaft. An electric motor has a pinion gear. A gear assembly includes an intermediate gear and a sector gear and transfers rotational drive from the electric motor to the throttle plate. Biasing structure biases the sector gear and thus the shaft to cause the throttle plate to close the throttle bore defining a closed position thereof. When the motor is energized, rotation of the pinion gear causes rotation of the gear assembly, against the bias on the sector gear, thereby causing rotation of the shaft to move the throttle plate from the closed position to an open position. A position sensor assembly determines a position of the plate.
