Abstract

An electronic control arrangement including a plurality of inputs and outputs, whereby the outputs are controlled in relationship with the inputs according to a predetermined program. Additionally, the outputs are coupled to another input by way of a special-function line. When the control is switched on, the external wiring is called upon to supply information regarding the state of certain controllable circuit elements. Through this, the electronic control circuit automatically checks which one of the several stored programs is appropriate under the circumstance.
