A method for the treatment of transient errors in real-time systems, in particular for control devices of motor vehicles

The invention relates to a method for the treatment of transient errors in real-time systems, in particular for control devices of motor vehicles, which based on program code operation is continuously monitored by a flow control. In order to treat a variety of possible occurring within electronic control module hardware and software failures, without the availability of the system is limited, the program code (13) into a plurality of runtime objects (8, 12) is divided and upon detection of an error in a runtime object (8), the runtime object (8) terminated by the sequence controller (10) and performed a local error handler (11) within the runtime object (8) during the operating cycle, the error handling (11) associated with a the runtime object (8) comprises measure for achieving a safe state, and after completion of error handling (11) the execution of the next runtime object (12) is started.
