Abstract
A safety apparatus has a configurable safety controller () and a configuration means, wherein the safety controller () has at least one input () for the connection of a sensor (-), at least one output () for the connection of an actuator (-), and a control unit () configured to carry out a control program which generates a control signal at the outputs () in a dependence on input signals at the inputs () by means of logic rules. The logic rules are settable by means of the configuration means. A number code representing the logic rules can be generated in the configuration means, and the safety controller () includes an interface () for the input of the number code. The control unit () is configured to carry out a control program with the logic rules represented by the number code.
