Assignee: FORT ROBOTICS, INC.
Field: Computer technology (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 16:
17. A method comprising:
receiving, by a first microcontroller, a first input representing a ternary state of a device;
receiving, by a second microcontroller, a second input representing the ternary state of the device;
converting, by a first hardware abstraction layer of the first microcontroller, the first input into a first encoded value corresponding to the ternary state;
converting, by a second hardware abstraction layer of the second microcontroller, the second input into a second encoded value corresponding to the ternary state; and
in response to detecting a fault state based on the first encoded value and the second encoded value, causing a command to be output to the device, the command causing the device to enter a safe state.
