SECURITY SYSTEM AND METHOD OF USING THE SECURITY SYSTEM

The invention relates to a security system and a method of using the security system. The safety system (1) has at least one sensor system (2) having at least one sensor (7) in a first housing (3) and at least one programmable controller (4) in a second housing (5), the sensor system having a first control and evaluation unit (6), and the programmable controller (4) having a second control and evaluation unit (7). The first control and evaluation unit is designed to evaluate sensor data from the sensors of the sensor system and to form a first result signal, and the programmable controller has a second control and evaluation unit (8) to which the sensor system is designed to transmit the sensor data, the second control and evaluation unit is designed to evaluate sensor data from the sensors of the sensor system and to form a second result signal, and a comparison unit (9) is provided, which is designed to compare the first result signal and the second result signal with each other and to generate a safety out
