Abstract
A safety apparatus includes: a latch circuit which retains an inconsistent state record when input signals from a plurality of sensors are in an inconsistent state, and frees the inconsistent state record when the input signals from the plurality of sensors are all in an OFF state; and an AND circuit which performs a sensor fault determination at timing when the input signals from the plurality of sensors are all in an ON state, the sensor fault determination including determining that at least one of the plurality of sensors is failed if the latch circuit retains the inconsistent state record and determining that none of the plurality of the sensors is failed if the latch circuit retains no inconsistent state record.
