Abstract

See full text

A monitoring circuit for a data transmission network having a plurality of transmissive and receptive network nodes and a double-line bus connecting the network nodes and serving for redundant double transmission of digital communications, with a first line (A) and a second line (B) via which communication pulses transferred in the form of time-spaced pulse sequences are transferred in synchronous manner in terms of time slot, a potential change detector is provided by means of which the two lines can each be monitored for the presence of potential change activities and by means of which a condition can be detected in which, during a pulse sequence, potential change activities occur only on the first line, but not on the second line; and a first time measuring circuit is provided by means of which a time measurement of the duration of such a condition can be carried out, and when a predetermined duration of such a condition is exceeded, an error signal is generated.
