Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a system for detecting, transmitting, and analyzing at least one safety-related signal (S1 . . . Sn), wherein the at least one safety-related signal (S1 . . . Sn) is detected using at least one detection unit (EE1 . . . EEn) and is transmitted to at least one analyzing unit (AE1 . . . AE4) via a radio system (FS). In order to simplify the detection of safety-related signals and improve the transmission thereof via a faulty radio path, at least two safety-related signals (S1, S2) are independently detected and transmitted to the analyzing unit (AE1 . . . AE4) via the radio system (FS) so as to allow a dangerous action to be carried out, and an output signal (FRS) for allowing a dangerous action to be carried out is generated by logically combining the received safety-related signals (S1 . . . Sn).
