    摘要: The present invention relates to an apparatus for controlling safety-critical processes. The apparatus includes at least one safe control unit for controlling the safety-critical processes and at least two safe signal units which are connected via I/O channels to the safety-critical processes. The safe control unit and the safe signal units are connected to a common fieldbus. The safe signal units communicate with the safe control unit, but not with one another, when the apparatus is in the control mode. The safe signal units have an evaluator for evaluating a fault message which is broadcasted across the fieldbus, as well as a switching device which autonomously change the safety-critical process to a safe state when a fault message which is evaluated as being relevant occurs.

    摘要: The present invention relates to an electronic safety switching device having at least a first and a second signal processing channel. The channels can be supplied with input signals for signal processing, and they provide redundantly processed output signals. According to one aspect of the invention, the signal processing channels are arranged monolithically on a common semiconductor substrate. The semiconductor structures of each signal processing channel are spaced apart physically by a multiple of their width from the semiconductor structures of every other signal processing channel.

    摘要: A process for the thermal annealing of implantation-doped silicon carbide semiconductors in a gas stream brings practically no carbon to the silicon carbide semiconductor. In one embodiment, a container, a carrier, radiation shields and a baseplate are composed of a metal or a metal compound such as, for example, tantalum or tantalum carbide, at least at locations which come into contact with the gas stream.
