Safety switching device and safety-related device

A safety switching device comprising:

• a control side with at least one single-failure tolerance;
• a first control unit and a second control unit, each of the first control unit and the second control unit being configured for emitting a switch command and each comprising at least one monitoring unit having a first connection element and a second connection element,
• wherein the first control unit is configured to emit the switch command to the first connection element and the second control unit is configured to emit the switch command to the second connection element,
• wherein the first connection element and the second connection element are configured to emit the switch command to at least one switching element of at least two switching elements on an actuation side,
• wherein the at least two switching elements are configured to interrupt a line of a load circuit,
• wherein the at least one switching element of the at least two switching elements is connected in series with the first connection element and the second connection element,
• wherein the at least two switching elements are each configured as standard components that are free from a forced guidance of contacts of the at least two switching elements, and
• wherein the first connection element is directly connected to the second control unit via a first feedback channel, and the second connection element is directly connected to the first control unit via a second feedback channel.
