  • 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;

    wherein, in response to an ending of a process, a recorded period of time of a corresponding timer, which is restarted by a next process to be executed, is read out, and wherein a second error signal is output when a recorded period of time falls below a predefined minimal period of time.
