Abstract
Multi-channel safety switching devices require comparators for data to be output to the process so that a signal divergence can be recognised in time and possibly false information items can be kept away from the process. This requires a data-flow-independent checking of the comparators. A release signal (FG1) to be output by the comparator (VG1) when the microcomputer (MR1, MR2) to be monitored is operating correctly is output indirectly via an AND gate (UD1) to output signal converters (AR). A test circuit (TSG1) which has a bistable characteristic is connected to the AND gate (UD1). The test circuit evaluates a key information item (SN1) output by the microcomputer (MR1), which counts as acknowledgement of a predetermined computer routine of the microcomputer (MR1). In dependence on this, an enable code is output for the AND gate (UD1). The abovementioned safety switching devices can be used, in particular, in the case of process controls with safety responsibility, for example in the case of railway signalling. <IMAGE>
