In a method for operation of a docking arrangement, position information is determined that describes a position of the patient table, including detecting, sensor data corresponding to: the position of the patient table relative to the docking arrangement, and/or to an environment feature describing a movement trajectory to the docking arrangement. The method may further include performing, in response to a switchover condition indicative of a handover situation and a purely manual operation of the patient table by an operator, a switch into an assistance operating mode of the docking arrangement. In the assistance operating mode, at least one guidance measure may be determined for the patient table and a functional component of the patient table may be controlled to assist the operator.

A control system for a medical installation, wherein the control system is configured to control a motorized movement of an installation component. The control system includes a control path and a protection path. The control path is configured to control the motorized movement. The protection path is independent of the control path and configured to monitor the control path with regard to compliance with a safety criterion for the motorized movement. The protection path includes at least one freely programmable microcontroller.
