Abstract

A method and device for controlling operational sequences, in particular in a vehicle, a functional unit being connected to a bus system, the functional unit and/or the bus system being monitored by a monitoring unit, and the monitoring unit disconnecting, by an access operation, the connection of the functional unit to the bus system in a reliability case, the monitoring unit's access or operation being configurable by the functional unit so that the access path of the monitoring unit is interruptable by a configuration apparatus, arrangement or structure.
