Abstract:
A control apparatus includes a first controller configured to generate control signals for controlling an engine or other machine, a second controller configured to generate the control signals for controlling the machine, a transfer circuit, and an arbiter circuit. The transfer circuit is coupled between the machine and the controllers, and is configured to switch from a first state, where the transfer circuit passes the control signals from the first controller to the machine, to a second state, where the transfer circuit passes the control signals from the second controller to the machine, responsive to receiving a first failure signal from the first controller. The arbiter circuit includes three (or more) arbiters, and is configured to control the transfer circuit from the first state to the second state responsive to any two of the three arbiters generating second signals indicative of failure of the first controller.

Claim (Index 3):
The apparatus of  claim 2 , further comprising one or more engine speed sensors operably coupled to the arbiters, wherein the arbiters are configured to receive respective one or more engine speed signals of an engine speed of the engine from the one or more engine speed sensors, and wherein the arbiters are configured to receive a reference signal of an ordered speed of the engine, and wherein the arbiters are configured to generate the second failure signals based on the engine speed and the ordered speed.
