Abstract
A system for monitoring a security-related system has a monitoring device on which a first process occurs. The monitoring device generates a monitoring result which is transmitted to another device that forms at least part of the security-related system. Accordingly, a second monitored process of the security-related system returns the received monitoring result to the first process for testing in order to calculate a processing result.

A method for monitoring a safety-related system, which comprises the steps of:
- transmitting a monitoring result of a first process from a monitoring apparatus provided for monitoring the safety-related system, to an apparatus forming at least part of the safety-related system, the first process being determined from a quantity of processes stored in the monitoring apparatus;
- evaluating the monitoring result by means of a second process, the second process forming a process of the safety-related system;
- calculating a processing result in dependence on the monitoring result;
- and
- checking the processing result calculated.
A system for monitoring a safety-related system, comprising:
- a further apparatus forming at least part of the safety-related system;
- and
- a monitoring apparatus on which a first process runs, the first process generating a monitoring result, which is transmitted to said further apparatus, a second monitored process of the safety-related system sending the monitoring result received for a calculation of a processing result back to the first process for checking, the first process being determined from a quantity of processes stored in said monitoring apparatus.
A computer-readable medium having computer-executable instructions for performing a method which comprises the steps of:
- transmitting a monitoring result of a first process from a monitoring apparatus provided for monitoring a safety-related system, to an apparatus forming at least part of the safety-related system, the first process being determined from a quantity of processes stored in the monitoring apparatus;
- evaluating the monitoring result by means of a second process, the second process forming a process of the safety-related system;
- calculating a processing result in dependence on the monitoring result;
- and
- checking a calculated processing result.
A data medium having computer executable instructions for performing a method which comprises the steps of:

- evaluating the monitoring result by means of a second process, the second process forming a process of the safety-related system;
- calculating a processing result in dependence on the monitoring result;
- and
- checking a calculated processing result.
A computer program, which comprises the steps of:
- transmitting a monitoring result of a first process from a monitoring apparatus provided for monitoring a safety-related system, to an apparatus forming at least part of the safety-related system, the first process being determined from a quantity of processes stored in the monitoring apparatus;
- evaluating the monitoring result by means of a second process, the second process forming a process of the safety-related system;
- calculating a processing result in dependence on the monitoring result;
- and
- checking a calculated processing result.
