Abstract
A redundant system for processing at least one signal is described wherein the redundant system has N+1 devices include N operational devices and one reserve device. The N operational devices and the reserve device are interconnected with each other. The redundant system includes a system control integrated within one of the devices of the redundant system. The redundant system further includes switches that are associated with the operational devices. In case of a failure of a respective operational device, the system control is configured to cause at least one of the devices to operate the switch associated with the respective operational device having the failure. Further, a method of operating a redundant system for processing at least one signal is described.
