A safety device with a safety switch and an actuator that is arranged movably relative to said safety switch. A transponder is arranged in the actuator, and a reading unit is arranged in the safety switch. A locking position of the actuator is controlled by the fact that transponder signals of the transponder are detected in the reading unit. The safety switch has a locking element with an influencing element. The actuator has a sensor coupled with the transponder. In the locking position of the actuator the locking element is insertable into a receptacle of the actuator. This effects the locking of the actuator. This locking is controlled in that the influencing element is only within the range of influence of the sensor when the locking element is inserted into the receptacle. Said sensor generates a sensor signal via which the transponder signals sent by the transponder are modified.

Safety device

The invention relates to a safety system () for a separating protective device with a first monitoring device for monitoring whether the separating protective device is bolted with a bolting system and with a second monitoring device for registering the position of the separating protective device. The second monitoring device has a sensor that generates direction-dependent signals and that differs from the first monitoring device.

Safety system

The invention relates to a safety switch () with a redundant input structure and with a redundant output structure. The safety switch () is designed for integration into a series connection () of safety switches (); the safety switch () has devices for detecting and adjusting the operating mode in the series connection (). The safety switch () is designed for replacement in the series connection () during its operation.

Safety switch

The invention relates to a module arrangement () with a base module and at least one submodule (); the base module has at least two connection modules. The submodule () can be put into contact via a connection module with a choice of one of the connection modules of the base module and can consequently be attached to the base module in different orientations. Detection devices for detecting the orientation of the submodule () attached to the base module are provided in the base module.
