- an operation of a respective one of the actuators can be determined redundantly by the switching states of two switch units. This can assist in determining the single fault condition. Moreover, by this method, even though merely a reduced number of output channels are used, switching states of at least twice as much as switch units can be detected so that a safe operation by using a reduced number of output channels can be achieved.
- the output signals at one of the output channels respectively differ in an electric potential with respect to an input channel.
