Abstract:
1. An arrangement for controlling an actuator of a brake or a motor vehicle, comprising: a first path for a first signal relating to an activation of the actuator, a second path for a second signal relating to the activation of the actuator, and a circuit for: not enabling the actuator to be activated in response to each of (a) a decrease in both the first and second parameters, (b) an increase in both the first and second parameters, and (c) an unchanged status in at least one of the first and second parameters, wherein the first and second path are configured such that a particular common-mode fault occurring in both the first and second paths causes the first value of the first signal and the second value of the second signal to both increase or both decrease, such that the actuator is not activated by the circuit.
