Abstract

Circuit arrangement for time-dependent monitoring of the condition of lines with a scanning device operating with the so-called "last-look" method, which recognizes condition alterations on the line and which produces a message supplemented by the address which corresponds with the scanned line. The time-dependent evaluation is obtained by comparing an adjustable theoretical time placed in a memory with an actual time formed by a counter.
