Abstract: For fault detection in a switch system including multiple switches, for a respective switch its operating data are acquired and transmitted to a central control. For a respective first switch of the switch system, a deviation of an operating behavior of the first switch from a set behavior is determined by the central control on the basis of its operating data. If there is a deviation, operating data of the first switch are compared with operating data of other, second switches of the switch system and, depending on that, a second switch with similar operating data is selected.
