Abstract
A sensor controller for a sensor module includes at least one interface to obtain sensor information from the sensor module and to communicate with a sensor signal receiver. The sensor controller includes a control module to control the at least one interface. The control module is configured to obtain the sensor information from the sensor module; generate a sensor signal based on the sensor information; and transmit the sensor signal. The control module is further configured to detect a fault state of the sensor module; transmit a fault indicator if the fault state indicates a failure of at least a part of the sensor module; and receive a control signal from the sensor signal receiver based on the fault indicator. The control signal includes at least one fault handling instruction. The control module is configured to execute the at least one fault handling instruction.
