Abstract

A flexible test arrangement for performing measurements on a test object. A plurality of safety components, each having a safety module which can be set to active or inactive, and having a ready status which can be set to active or inactive, is provided in a circular test arrangement. Each of the safety components carries out a number of function tests cyclically. As one of the function tests, a cyclical, error-free reception of a data packet is tested. One of the safety components is selected as a bus master which cyclically transmits a bus verification signal in a data packet to the safety component which is adjacent in the direction of transmission, wherein the bus verification signal is relayed by each of the safety components in a data packet, and, when said bus verification signal is received in a data packet, the bus master determines that the circular test arrangement is closed.
