SISTEMA DI RILEVAMENTO DI GUASTO DI UN SENSORE MEDIANTE SORVEGLIANZA DELLA SUA ATTIVITA

Faults in a sensor (10) are detected by excess rate fault determination by taking the differentiated (58, 107), rate limited (60, 100, 111) integral (64, 112) from the raw sensor output (72, 113) and indicating a fault (15, 117) in the event that the difference exceeds a predetermined magnitude (76,...

Zusammenfassung:Faults in a sensor (10) are detected by excess rate fault determination by taking the differentiated (58, 107), rate limited (60, 100, 111) integral (64, 112) from the raw sensor output (72, 113) and indicating a fault (15, 117) in the event that the difference exceeds a predetermined magnitude (76, 114). A null fault (22, 91) is provided in the event that the sensor output does not show a significant change (52, 88) within a given time interval (20, 80) whenever a related sensor (31) indicates (29, 84) that the first sensor (10) should have measurable activity. Both analog (FIG. 1) and digital (FIG. 2, FIG. 3) embodiments are disclosed.
