Claim 3:
4. A system comprising:
a safety-oriented device having at least one first microcontroller and a second microcontroller and an electronic storage device which is separate from the safety-oriented device and in which a first piece of data content and a second piece of data content for the safety-oriented device are stored, the first and second pieces of data content each being either an operating software update or an address,
wherein the electronic storage device comprises a first connection unit for mechanical and electrical coupling to the device, wherein the first connection unit comprises a first mechanical coding means, and
wherein the device comprises a first storage unit, which is assigned to the first microcontroller and in which a first operating system is stored, a second storage unit, which is assigned to the second microcontroller and in which a second operating system is stored, and a second connection unit for mechanical and electrical coupling to the electronic storage device, wherein the second connection unit has a second mechanical coding means, wherein the first mechanical coding means and the second mechanical coding means are complementary to one another,
wherein the first microcontroller of the device is designed to recognize whether the electronic storage device is connected via its first connection unit to the second connection unit of the device, and in this case is also designed to download the first piece of data content stored in the electronic storage device from the electronic storage device to the first storage unit of the device, and wherein the second microcontroller of the device is designed to recognize whether the electronic storage device is connected via its first connection unit to the second connection unit of the device, and in this case is also designed to download the second piece of data content stored in the electronic storage device from the electronic storage device to the second storage unit of the device.
