Abstract
A module having an input configured to connect a sensor and having an indicator configured to optically indicate a physical state of the sensor. The module is configured to transmit a logical signal associated with the physical state or an inverted logical signal of the sensor to a higher-level unit and to receive a control value from the higher-level unit. The module is configured to evaluate the control value and to determine, on the basis of the control value, whether the value of the logical sensor signal or the inverted logical sensor signal is to be used for the optical indication of the physical state of the sensor.
