Abstract
For optimizing data processing in a safety system for a machine, such as a robot or the like, while permitting a simple, safety-uncritical diagnosis, the invention provides a process for processing safety-relevant data in a safety system for a machine, such as a robot or the like, with several nodes connected in a ring and which is characterized in that in parallel in each node are processed the data received by it, which are retransmitted to the next node and for diagnosis purposes a diagnostic unit is provided which passively receives the data present in at least one node.
