- Figure 1 shows a circuit arrangement 1, for example Part of an automatic burner control unit is. It comprises a control device 3, one with a broken line edged safety device 5 as well two solenoid valves 7.1 and 7.2 that are not on one shown gas supply line leading to a burner Act.
- the two solenoid valves 7 are common Supply line 9 with the positive pole Power supply and with separate lines 11.1 and 11.2 connected to ground.
- the supply line 9 is via a switch 13 and a switch 15 arranged in series therewith interruptible. Also in the two supply lines 11.1, 11.2 is a switch 17.1, respectively 17.2 arranged.
- the voltage drop across the two solenoid valves 7 is via an amplifier 19 as a solenoid valve voltage signal via a line 21 to the Control device 3 passed.
- this signal as one of several safety-relevant Input signals from the safety device 5 to.
- an ionization signal which over a Line 25 of the control device 3 and a line 27 of the safety device 5 is supplied.
- the control device 3 can be connected via a line 29 that supplied by the flame monitoring device Block signal in an amplifier 31 for testing purposes.
- the control device receives a further input signal 3 a heat request via a line 33, which causes the burner to ignite.
- FIG. 1 also shows that the safety device 5 from several functional units is composed.
- the two supplied via lines 23 and 27 safety-relevant input signals are combined with a transmitted via a line 35 Test signal processed in a linking device 37.
- the first clock signal is sent over a line 45 and the second clock signal via a line 47 the linking device 37 supplied.
- the clock signals themselves are generated by a clock generator 49 generated, the clock frequency for both Clock signals reduced by a pre-divider 51 becomes.
- the clock frequency of the second clock signal by means of a switching device 53 vary. Switching between the present Case four different frequencies is by two control lines 55.1 and 55.2 the control device 3 accomplishes.
- the first three in the exemplary embodiment in total four outputs Q0, Q1 and Q2 of counter 43 are fed to an AND gate 57 while the fourth output signal Q3 is fed to an AND gate 59 is.
- This AND gate 59 receives second Input signal the output signal of the AND gate 57.
- the output signal of the second AND gate 59 then serves to control a bistable relay 61, which operates the aforementioned switch 13. There it is a bistable relay Downshifting an unlocking device 63 provided that by pressing a button 65th the relay switches back to a state in which the switch 13 is closed.
- the output signal of the first AND gate 57 becomes via a line 67.1 and the fourth output signal Q3 of the counter 43 via a line 67.2 Control device 3 supplied.
- the two double arrows at the ends of these two lines indicate that the control device 3 is also active can control the AND gate 59 for test purposes.
- the output signal of the AND gate 59 of a monitoring device 69 is supplied.
- Such watchdogs are well known and check periodically Events within a given time window, for example the periodicity of trigger pulses.
- the mentioned time window is thereby by the clock generator 49 and the pre-divider 51 specified.
- the test signal is generated and via the line 35 passed to the linking device 37.
- relay 81 not as bistable, but as monostable Relay is designed. This makes it necessary to design the switch 13 as a changeover switch, either the supply line 9 or a lead 83 to the relay 81 with the The positive pole of the supply voltage connects.
- control device 3 is a Memory chip 86, preferably an EEPROM, assigned.
- the unlocking device 63 formed only as a button 65
- the one Line 97 supplies a reset signal to counter 43.
- the control device 3 an unlocking signal is supplied via a line 99.

- the counter 43 is provided, which after opening the valves 7 first counts up, and the relay 61 not yet triggers. Only after reaching the the AND gate 57.59 specific count the switch 13 opened.
- the Clock generator 49 and the interconnection of the outputs of the counter 43 so designed that there is a delay time of about 10 seconds. detected the flame monitor inside this time period a flame, the corresponding one Signal from the link device 37 processed and the supply of the clock signal to Payer 43 interrupted. Rather, it is in this state the counter decrements until it gets the smallest Has reached value.
- the safety device 5 also leads monitoring of the control device 3 by.
- Control device 3 generated trigger pulse so is short that the relay 61 does not affect becomes.
- the control device generates to test the watchdog 69 3 one that does not fit into the time window Trigger pulse that is used to generate a test signal and leads to the counting up of the counter 43.
- a Functionality of the counter 43 is then present if the control device 3 first has an output signal at AND gate 57 via line 67.1 and shortly thereafter a signal at output Q3 of counter 43 detected via line 67.2.
- the Watchdogs 69 but not one in time wrong trigger pulse, but no trigger pulse is produced. In this case too the functionality through the successively detected Signals via lines 67.1 and 67.2 approved.
- the shutdown takes place by the safety device 5, for example only in the case of safety errors of class C, where for all other security errors the Control device 3 via the switch 17 a shutdown causes.
- the safety device 5 for example only in the case of safety errors of class C, where for all other security errors the Control device 3 via the switch 17 a shutdown causes.
- the safety device 5 for example only in the case of safety errors of class C, where for all other security errors the Control device 3 via the switch 17 a shutdown causes.
