Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method and evaluation device for checking plausibility of an incremental counter, wherein counting pulses are detectable via the incremental counter, and wherein a dynamic system generates the counting pulses with a clock rate corresponding to a state of the dynamic system. Here, a minimum value and a maximum value for a possible or permitted change in the clock rate per time unit is predefined based on operating limits of the dynamic system, wherein a current clock rate is calculated in each case from two counting pulses respectively detected last, and wherein at each newly detected counting pulse the counting pulse is checked to determine if the difference between the clock rate calculated in the course of the newly detected counting pulse and a clock rate calculated immediately beforehand is within the limits defined by the minimum value and maximum value, wherein otherwise implausibility is detected.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method for checking plausibility of an incremental counter, counting pulses being detected via an incremental counter, a dynamic system generating the counting pulses with a clock rate corresponding to a state of the dynamic system, a minimum acceleration/deceleration value and a maximum acceleration/deceleration value for a possible or permitted change in the clock rate per time unit being predefined on the basis of operating limits of the dynamic system,…
