Abstract:
A method and system to perform the verification of measures done by a sensor in quasi real-time. The sensor verification may be implemented at two different levels—a functionality level and a measurement level. At the functionality level, a consistency check of information from different variables may be processed at sensor level depending on the functionality of the physical system being measured. At the measurement level, diagnostics may be performed of the circuits present in the measurement path by specific circuitry and at suitable instants of time to guarantee a Fault Tolerant Time Interval while minimizing sample loss. This may be achieved, at least in part, by increasing the measuring sample rate.

Claim (Index 12):
A method for verifying sensor measurements of physical variables in a system, the method comprising:\n receiving at least one sensor signal, each sensor signal indicative of a physical variable being measured; comparing measured values of the at least one sensor signal to expected values, wherein the expected values are based on current system conditions; detecting whether a diagnostic inhibitor is present preventing a diagnostic mode from being initiated; and in the absence of any diagnostic inhibitors, initiating diagnostics of a measurement path for a physical variable in response to one of a) the measured values being outside a predetermined range of the expected values and b) a predetermined time since the last diagnostic mode has expired.
