A modular arrangement is proposed with modules (-) added in a row direction, these being constructed at least partially as valve modules (-), wherein one module is constructed as a control module () and is connected to the other modules (-) by control and/or sensor lines () running transversely through these modules. Voltage supply lines () powered by a voltage source () run transversely through the modules (-). At least one module is constructed as a safety module () and has a switching arrangement () for interrupting the voltage supply lines () to the modules (-) powered via the safety module () in the activated state. Safety-related control and/or diagnostic electronics are provided for activating the switching arrangement ().
