Repetitive processes in internal combustion engines which are dependent upon the values of particular parameters are controlled either by a main computer or an auxiliary computer. Switching from the main to the auxiliary computer takes place if a sequence error detecting stage detects errors in the desired alternation between the main control signals furnished by the main computer and reference mark signals indicative of predetermined angular positions of a shaft of the engine. Specifically, the system is switched to operate under control of the auxiliary computer if such an alternation error occurs again within a predetermined number of cycles. The switching can also take place as a result of missing reference mark signals and as a result of the absence of monitoring signals indicative of correct operation of the main computer program.
