Abstract

The invention relates to a method for monitoring at least two redundant sensors, which are in particular arranged in a chemical plant or an aircraft, comprising providing a first sensor signal of a first sensor, the first sensor signal comprising at least one measured value, providing at least one further sensor signal from a further sensor, the further sensor signal comprising at least one further measured value, generating a first analysis signal from the first sensor signal, generating at least one further analysis signal from the further sensor signal, determining at least one relationship between the first sensor signal and the further sensor signal at least in dependence on the first analysis signal and the further analysis signal over a time horizon, comparing the relationship with at least one admissible range, and, depending on the result of the comparison, determining whether at least one sensor of the two redundant sensors is faulty.
