Abstract
A safety device for a drive is includes a monitoring system which evaluates a value describing the operating state of the drive in order to ascertain whether an emergency operation should be started for the protection of the drive instead of normal operation. The monitoring system generates at least one first output signal for an actuating element that influences the power supply to the drive. In normal operation an a.c. signal is used as the output signal and in emergency operation a d.c. signal is used.
