Abstract

See full text

A method for fail-safe provision of an analog output value for a control process designed for functional safety, wherein the output value is specified by a control unit as a digital output value and, in a first step, the digital output value is converted into the analog output value via a converter, in a second step, the analog output value is converted into a fail-safe digital output value using fail-safe criteria via a read-back device and, in a third step, the originally provided digital output value is compared with the converted fail-safe digital output value, where in the event of the comparison revealing a deviation or of a plausibility criterion being infringed, a safety action is performed, otherwise, the analog output value is output to the control process with the aid of a release device.
