A sensor device includes: a sensor module mounted on a conductor board; a sensitive element which is sensitive to a variable; a self-test control unit implementing a self-test program, the self-test control unit applying a self-test variable to the sensitive element, taking the self-test program into account; a detection unit detecting a characteristic of the sensitive element which is altered as a result of the applied self-test variable and providing an actual self-test response, taking the altered characteristic into account; and a comparator unit provided on or in the sensor module, the comparator unit comparing the actual self-test response to at least one specified setpoint self-test response and providing comparative information.

Sensor device with self-test capability

A device for controlling a device by using a rotation-rate sensor. In order to provide a device for determining a triggering signal for a safety device which allows a particularly compact implementation of the device, the device is set up to ascertain an acceleration variable on the basis of a first sensor signal for a first seismic mass of the rotation-rate sensor and the second sensor signal for a second seismic mass of the rotation-rate sensor and to control the device as a function of the acceleration variable.
