Abstract
A method for monitoring a process execution of a plurality of sequentially executed processes starts one of a plurality of timers in cyclic permutation when one of the processes is started, and outputs a first error signal when a period of time recorded by one of the timers exceeds a predefined maximum period of time.

14. A method for monitoring a processor system, the method comprising:
-
executing a plurality of processes, one of the processes being started after a preceding one of the processes is ended, wherein one of at least two timers is restarted in cyclic permutation when one of the processes is started; and outputting a first error signal when a period of time recorded by one of the at least two timers exceeds a predefined maximum period of time. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)

22. A device for monitoring a processor system, comprising:
-
a monitoring device, which is linked to the processor system to receive a start signal from the processor system when a process is started; at least two timers connected to a multiplexer of the monitoring device to cyclically restart the timers using a reset signal, and which are connected to an input of the monitoring device to transmit a recorded period of time to the monitoring device; wherein a plurality of the processes is executed, one of the processes being started after a preceding one of the processes is ended, wherein one of at least two timers is restarted in cyclic permutation when one of the processes is started, wherein a first error signal is outputted when a period of time recorded by one of the at least two timers exceeds a predefined maximum period of time. - View Dependent Claims (23, 24, 25, 26)
