Method for the automatic monitoring of an electrotechnical work flow, and corresponding device

A method for the automatic monitoring of an electrotechnical workflow having a plurality of work steps, the method comprising:

• establishing (S0) of a first bidirectional communication link (F1) between a portable communication device (1) and a portable voltage testing device (10;
• 10′);
• starting (S1) of a work step sequence program on the portable communication device (1) by means of an input apparatus (1b) of the portable communication device (1);
• outputting (S2) of a first work step instruction of a plurality of work step instructions (A) of the work step sequence program for the isolation of an energized electronic component (K1) from a supply to cause the electronic component (K1) to be de-energized on an output apparatus (1a) of the portable communication device (1) by the work step sequence program;
• automatically or manually confirming (S3;
• S3′) the isolation of the electronic component (K1) on the portable communication device (1);
• after confirming (S3;
• S3′) the isolation of the electronic component (K1), generating (S4) a second work step instruction of the plurality of work step instructions (A) for checking the isolation from the supply of the electronic component (K1) by means of the portable voltage testing device (10;
• 10′) on the output apparatus (1a) of the portable communication device (1) by the work step sequence program;
• checking (S5) the isolation from the supply of the electronic component (K1) by means of the portable voltage testing device (10;
• 10′), the portable voltage testing device (10;
• 10′) generating a test result in response thereto, the test result indicating that the electronic component (K1) is or is not in isolation from the supply;
• communicating (S6) the test result from the portable voltage testing device (10;
• 10′) to the portable communication device (1);
• wherein, in the event that the test result indicates that the electronic component (K1) is in isolation from the supply, automatically confirming (S8) the isolation from the supply of the electronic component (K1) by outputting a confirmation signal by the portable communication device (1);
• and
• wherein, in the event that the test result indicates that the electronic component (K1) is not in isolation from the supply, outputting (S9a) a first alarm signal by the portable communication device (1).
