ABSTRACT:
A method for programming a failsafe control system comprises the steps of defining logical interconnections between input signals of the failsafe control system and of assigning interconnection products to output signals of the failsafe control system. The steps of defining and assigning take place on the basis of predefined function-specific program modules, which are selected from a set of such program modules. According to one aspect, each selected program module is uniquely assigned to a defined functional group, with a first functional group containing program modules which pick up input signals of the failsafe control system and provide first interim variables in response thereto, a second functional group containing program modules which logically interconnect the first interim variables to one another and provide second interim variables in response thereto, and a third functional group containing program modules which assign the second interim variables to the output signals of the failsafe control system. A corresponding programming device is also disclosed.
