Abstract

A method for carrying out a safety check of a modular safety controller having electronics modules in which safety functions for the safe operation of at least one machine connected to the modular safety controller are implemented, includes: establishing a communication link between the modular safety controller and a test device having a human-machine interface; providing a configuration data set processed by the test device and has information about the electronics modules and about the safety functions of the modular safety controller implemented by the electronics modules; generating a test data set with a plurality of user instructions to be executed sequentially for testing the safety functions of the electronics modules; and, for each of the user instructions, visualizing the user instruction, executing the user instruction, confirming execution of the user instruction, and recording and confirming a machine intervention resulting from the execution of the user instruction.
