Abstract
Components of a motive unit to be checked are connected to a control system that includes a microcomputer through branch lines. One branch line serves to provide trigger signals and test the components in the normal operating state when the parts are rotating (i.e. in the dynamic state). The other branch serves to monitor the same components for malfunctions in the stopped condition when the parts are not moving (i.e. in the static state). The other branch contains a switching network, a current/voltage source controlled by the microcomputer, and an analog-to-digital converter. There is further provided a priority control circuit over which program interrupt requests or requests for changing to an emergency program are transmitted. In the event a malfunction causes an interrupt request to be generated, the interrupt request from the priority control circuit is transmitted immediately or with a delay depending upon the priority assigned to the particular event malfunction.
