Abstract:

A control system comprises a first processor that generates 16-bit control words and a 16-bit interface check word representing the ones complement of each control word. Preferably, each word is formed as two 8-bit bytes, which are transmitted sequentially to a second processor over an 8-bit parallel interface. The second processor compares each control word with its corresponding interface check word to detect any parallel interface hardware component failures. Preferably, the high and low bytes of the interface check word are swapped prior to transmission to the second processor, and the second processor restores the swaps of the high and low bytes of the interface check word prior to comparing.
