Image Number 4 for United States Patent #6127830.
In a method of monitoring an output module to which a number of inductive loads are connected and in which the current flowing through these inductive loads is regulated by clocked driving of the output stages, the current created in the blocked phases of the output stages by the inductively stored energy is partially or temporarily conducted across a common current measuring device and evaluated for testing the output stages, including the inductive loads.
