Abstract
A digital control system is provided with an error monitor system which applies dummy loads to an actuator and a monitor lamp in order to check the operation thereof. The digital control system also has a watch-dog timer responsive to a periodic signal produced as long as a microprocessor of the control system is operating normally. The control system is adapted to be initialized in response to the onset of power supply and in response to error signals from the watch-dog timer. A discriminator is provided in the control system to discriminate the cause of initialization of the control system. The discriminator enables the error monitor system when initialization due to onset of power supply is detected but not when initialization is due to errors detected by the watch-dog timer.
