Automatic testing of crowbar
circuit ensures that output will be
able to switch off. If output is
subsequently commanded off,
crowbar switch is energized to
blow fuse and turn off output
(fuse blows 200 msec after
output is commanded off).

Testing and Diagnostics
The voter and I/O bus interface logic of the Guarded output
modules is automatically tested by the processor modules.
Discrepant data are sent through one of three legs of
the I/O
Safetybus to determine whether the module’s voters are able
to outvote the incorrect data. A failure to return the correct
majority
-
voted result to the processors produces an I/O
