Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for monitoring an electrical
- a reset signal is emitted from a voltage monitoring device to the computing unit after initialization of the computing unit if the supply voltage fails or drops, and the operating state of the computing unit after the reset signal occurs by comparing the content of a volatile memory device with a fixed one predetermined code is checked and a decision regarding the further control sequence is made or a device for monitoring an electronic computing unit, which has at least one volatile memory device with a code written during initialization, with a voltage monitoring device with which there is no or If a supply voltage provided by a voltage source drops below a predetermined voltage level, a reset signal can be generated for the computing unit with a comparator device with which it can be determined is whether the content present in the volatile memory device after the reset signal corresponds to a predetermined code corresponding to the written code, and to a decision device for emitting signals on the basis of the comparison result.
- a method or a device of this type is identified as known in EP 0 163 670 B1.
- a reset signal for a computing unit is triggered if there is a fault in the power supply or if the computing unit does not
- an external monitoring device responds in the form of a so-called watch-dog reset, for which at least a small part of a volatile memory device of the computing unit is responsible for the history of the watch-dog reset there is a typical pattern that is known a priori. For comparison, a corresponding comparison pattern is loaded from a non-volatile memory direction. If the values in the non-volatile memory device at least partially correspond to the specified pattern, it is decided that the reset signal comes from the monitoring device; If the values of the non-volatile memory device do not match the specified pattern, it is assumed that the reset signal results from a fault in the voltage supply. In the case of a reset signal from the monitoring device, a specific program sequence is started, while in the case of a reset signal caused by a fault in the voltage supply, the computing unit is reinitialized. Such
- the invention is based on the object of providing a method and a device of the type mentioned at the outset with which faults in the voltage supply, which caused errors in the computing unit, can be easily and reliably distinguished from those faults in the voltage supply which are not faults cause in the arithmetic unit.
- the method accordingly provides that the reset signal is always emitted by the voltage monitoring device when the supply voltage drops below a voltage level above which a defined one
- a new initialization of the content of the volatile memory device is carried out by the code, while the device provides that if the content of the volatile memory device deviates from the predetermined code, the decision device can emit a first signal that triggers a re-initialization of the computing unit, and that if the content is determined to match the predetermined code, a second signal can be emitted, which causes the control process to continue on the basis of the operating state before the reset signal occurred.
- the reset signal is always emitted when the supply voltage drops below a voltage level below which no defined operation of the computing unit is ensured, and a check is started for each reset signal to determine whether the content of the volatile memory is still full ⁇ is constantly present, there is no need to perform a complex reinitialization of the computing unit each time. If the content of the volatile memory still corresponds to the pre-written code, the drop in voltage has certainly not caused any error conditions in the computing unit. In this case, no reinitialization or a further additional program sequence is triggered, but the control sequence is continued on the basis of the operating state present when the reset signal occurs. This optimizes the operational process with regard to the safety and speed of the control processes. This
- Measures have an advantageous effect, for example, if a control device in which the monitoring is provided does not have an operating status display for a user, since the user could then only determine from a non-existent function that the device is not active .
- the measures according to the invention can be implemented by a program provided in the computing unit without additional external wiring being required.
- a particularly simple embodiment of the method or the device consists in that, in the case of a computing unit in which the volatile memory device has a plurality of memory blocks each provided with a voltage supply line, only one of a plurality of cells of each memory block with an element of the code during initialization is described or in that in the case of a computing unit in which the volatile memory device is divided into blocks each having a plurality of memory cells and only one voltage supply line being provided per block, a value is written into only one memory cell.
- the method always results in reliable monitoring in that the code is written to the volatile memory device each time it is initialized from a non-volatile memory device.
- a circuit-technically advantageous embodiment of the device is that the voltage monitoring device is designed as a component which also has a voltage regulator.
- Fig. 1 is a block diagram of a device for monitoring an electronic computing unit
- Fig. 2 shows the essential process steps in the monitoring of the electronic computing unit.
- a voltage source in the form of a battery B provides a supply voltage ÜB which is processed in a voltage monitoring device Ü and made available to the various consumers, for which purpose a voltage regulator is provided in the voltage monitoring device Ü.
- the voltage monitoring device U also has a reset device which, when the control device is activated, has a switch-on reset signal (power-on reset) and when the supply voltage drops briefly below a level which leads to a
- Undefined state can lead to an undervoltage reset signal to an arithmetic unit MC.
- the computing unit MC has a non-volatile memory device ROM, a comparator device V and a decision device E.
- the decision device E depending on a comparison result generated in the comparison device V between a code of the non-volatile memory device ROM and the content of the volatile memory device RAM, emits a first or a second signal S1 or S2, with which the further method after a reset signal occurs ⁇ process is determined.
- step 2 shows the process sequence of the monitoring in a sequence diagram.
- an initialization 1 it is determined that in a step 2 the code present in the non-volatile memory device ROM is written into the volatile memory device RAM. If a reset signal is detected in step 3 after initialization, the current content of the RAM is compared in the comparator device V with the predetermined code of the non-volatile memory device ROM. If the content of the volatile memory device RAM has remained unchanged from the written-in, predetermined code, which corresponds to the code of the non-volatile memory device ROM, the control sequence will deal with that when the
- REPLACEMENT BUTT (RULE 26) Reset signal continue operating state. If there is a discrepancy between the current content of the volatile memory device RAM and the predetermined code, the computing unit is reinitialized with the test and deletion of the volatile memory device RAM, so that the desired control sequence can be carried out again in a defined manner.
- Errors in the computing unit MC do not change a single cell of a block, but always the entire block. In order to detect a data loss due to undervoltage or a power-on reset and to distinguish it from a short-term interruption of the supply voltage that does not cause an error, it is therefore sufficient in each block to have only one cell with a constant or an element of the Describe codes that can then be compared after a reset signal occurs.
