Abstract

A control and monitoring module is provided for activating an actuator assigned to the control and monitoring module and for monitoring a signal line and/or a power supply line connected to the control and monitoring module and/or to the actuator. The control and monitoring module is configured to detect a fault in the signal line and/or the power supply line, if, during a simulation executed by a testing device, an actual voltage at the control and monitoring module and/or the actuator exceeds a specified upper voltage threshold value or drops below a specified lower voltage threshold value. A system including the control and monitoring module and a method for operating a control and monitoring module are also provided.
