1. A device for monitoring a processor, comprising:
a watchdog configured to monitor the processor, the watchdog configured to connect to an internal clock pulse generator for monitoring a system clock of the processor, the watchdog including an arrangement for checking software of the processor and an arrangement for monitoring tests of system components of the processor, the watchdog configured to transmit an error message to the processor in an event that at least one error is detected and increment an error counter, and wherein the watchdog transmits test queries to the processor during a checking of the software and monitors replies from the processor for correctness and point in time.
2. The device as recited in claim 1, wherein the watchdog is configured to transfer test assignments to the processor when tests of the system components are monitored and the processor returns the test assignments to the watchdog corresponding to an assignment acknowledgment, which the watchdog monitors for correctness and point in time.
3. The device as recited in one of claim 2, wherein the watchdog is configured to determine the points in time of the replies of the processor and the acknowledgment of the assignments using at least one internal counter.
4. The device as recited in claim 1, wherein the watchdog is configured to block a function of a device connected to the processor for a specified period of time in a case of at least one detected error, the watchdog being directly connectable to the device.
5. The device as recited in claim 4, wherein the watchdog is configured to initiate the block of the device until the watchdog is deactivated when the error counter has reached a predetermined value.
6. The device as recited in claim 4, wherein the device connected to the processor is a restraint system.
7. The device as recited in claim 4, wherein when activated, the watchdog initiates the block of the device until the watchdog detects freedom from errors in the system clock, the software of the processor and the system components.
8. The device as recited in claim 1, wherein the processor is configured to read out the error counter and individual errors from the watchdog.
9. A device for monitoring a processor, comprising:
a watchdog configured to monitor the processor, the watchdog configured to connect to an internal clock pulse generator for monitoring a system clock of the processor, the watchdog including an arrangement for checking software of the processor and an arrangement for monitoring tests of system components of the processor, the watchdog configured to transmit an error message to the processor in an event that at least one error is detected and increment an error counter, wherein the watchdog is configured to block a function of a device connected to the processor for a specified period of time in a case of at least one detected error, the watchdog being directly connectable to the device, and wherein the watchdog is configured to extend the block of the device if the watchdog detects at least one additional error during the block.
The claims below are in addition to those above.
All refrences to claim(s) which appear below refer to the numbering after this setence.
1. A locking device for a cover of a storage compartment in a motor vehicle, comprising:
at least one bolt element engageable in a first storage compartment recess for fixing the cover in a closed position;
an actuating handle configured for displacing the at least one bolt element from the first storage compartment recess; and
at least one securing bolt engageable in a second storage compartment recess and being actuable via the bolt element so that the at least one securing bolt extends out of the second recess only if the bolt element already is extended out of the first recess and which thereby secures the cover against undesirably opening in the event of accident-induced accelerations.
2. The locking device of claim 1, wherein the at least one bolt element comprises two bolt elements forcibly connected to each other in an opposed manner via a gearwheel and which, in a locked state, engage in opposite first storage compartment recesses, the actuating handle being configured to act on at least one of the two bolt elements or on the gearwheel.
3. The locking device of claim 2, wherein the at least one securing bolt is parallel to the bolt element.
4. The locking device of claim 2, further comprising a driver contour provided on the bolt element and a mating driver contour arranged on the associated securing bolt, the driver contour interacting with the mating driver contour if the bolt element is not in the associated first recess.
5. The locking device of claim 2, further comprising a first spring device disposed for pretensioning the bolt element into the closed position thereof, and a second spring device disposed for pretensioning the securing bolt into the closed position thereof.
6. The locking device of claim 2, wherein the at least one securing bolt comprises two opposite securing bolts, each of the securing bolts interacting with one of the bolt elements.
7. The locking device of claim 2, wherein the bolt element is in the form of a bolt bar and has a rack contour facing the gearwheel.
8. A cover for a storage compartment of a motor vehicle, comprising a holding device and a locking device held by the holding device, the locking device including;
at least one bolt element engageable in a first storage compartment recess for fixing the cover in a closed position;
an actuating handle configured for displacing the at least one bolt element from the first storage compartment recess; and
at least one securing bolt engageable in a second storage compartment recess and being actuable via the bolt element so that the at least one securing bolt extends out of the second recess only if the bolt element already is extended out of the first recess and which thereby secures the cover against undesirably opening in the event of accident-induced accelerations.
9. A motor vehicle with a passenger compartment in which a storage compartment that is closeable by the cover of claim 8.
10. A locking device for a cover of a storage compartment in a motor vehicle, comprising:
first and second bolt elements engageable in a first and second primary recesses for fixing the cover in a closed position;
an actuating handle configured for displacing the bolt elements from the primary recesses; and
first and second securing bolts engageable in first and second secondary recesses and being actuable via the bolt elements so that the securing bolts extend out of the secondary recesses only if the bolt elements already are out of the bolt element recesses and which thereby secure the cover against undesirably opening in the event of accident-induced accelerations.
11. The locking device of claim 10, wherein the securing bolts are parallel to the bolt elements.
