Abstract
A method of safety monitoring for a robot assembly with at least one robot that is configured with a linking function arrangement with at least one first linking function including a fixed and predetermined number of monitoring functions of a monitoring function arrangement. The monitoring functions are logically linked to one another such that the first linking function has a reaction state whenever all of the monitoring functions indicate the violated and/or error state. The first linking function does not have a reaction state whenever any monitoring function from the plurality of monitoring functions does not indicate the violated and/or error state. The reaction state is executed by the controller when all of the monitoring functions are in the violated and/or error state.
