Abstract

A safety system for safeguarding cooperative operation of people, robots, and machines with respect to a technical installation includes a safety-related device. The safety-related device is configured to monitor a first hazardous area of the technical installation and bring the technical installation into a safe state in response to detection of a hazardous condition. The safety system is configured to identify an autonomously operating technical unit, register the autonomously operating technical unit in response to the autonomously operating technical unit satisfying a defined condition, and restrict monitoring of the first hazardous area by the safety-related device in response to the registration. The safety system is configured to, in response to a defined event, revoke the registration of the autonomously operating technical unit and lift the restriction on monitoring.
