System for testing a computer built into a control device
First Claim
1. A system for testing a computer provided within a control unit including a power supply circuit, the system comprising:
- a control arrangement switching the computer into at least one predetermined operating mode, the control arrangement provided in the control unit;
a sensor sensing at least one of a current and a voltage in the power supply circuit;
a comparator comparing the at least one of the current and the voltage with at least one predetermined threshold value to generate a comparison value; and
an actuator arrangement actuating a particular device as a function of the comparison value.

Abstract
A system for testing a computer built into a control unit. A power supply unit is provided for the voltage supply for the control unit and the computer. In addition, the test result can be indicated by a device and/or means may be provided for shutting down the system regulated and/or controlled by the control unit. The control unit contains means that can bring the computer into certain operating modes. In addition, sensing means are provided that detect the current or voltage in the power supply circuit of the computer, whereupon the current or voltage detected is compared with at least one preset threshold value in comparator means. For actuation of the device and/or the cutoff, there are actuator means that indicate an error depending on the result of the comparison or cause all or part of the system to be shut down in reaction to such an error.
