Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2011117155A1] A redundant two-processor control device is proposed. The control device comprises a first processor (1) and a second processor (1) for the synchronous execution of a control program; at least one first multiplexer (70, 91) for the selective connection of at least one first peripheral unit (72, 95) that is to be controlled to one of the two processors (1, 2); at least one first comparison unit (70, 91) for monitoring the synchronization state of the two processors (1, 2) and for identifying a synchronization error when the two processors (1, 2) are out of sync; and a restoration control unit (44) which is set up to monitor the execution of at least one test program by the two processors (1, 2) following the occurrence of a synchronization error and to assess the test results and which is set up to configure at least the first multiplexer (70, 91).
