Abstract

See full text

During the piloting of the load, the current intensity and the voltage present in the load are monitored by the comparison of their values with a current threshold and with a window of permissible voltage values. When the voltage is outside the window of permissible values and/or the current falls below its threshold, a fault message is generated and the nature of the fault (open load, short circuit to earth, short circuit to the supply voltage) is also identified by the emission of a corresponding signal of a diagnostic nature. The identification of the faulty stage or stages is also provided for in the case of a circuit including several stages in parallel.
