Abstract:
An industrial safety controller comprises a non-volatile memory configured for storing an industrial control program and at least one processing unit. The industrial safety controller, which may be a safety relay, further comprises a connector configured to communicatively couple the safety controller with an expansion module. The safety controller is configured to receive an input and/or provide an output via an I/O expansion module that is coupled to the safety controller utilizing the connector. The industrial safety controller may comprise an expansion module bay and the connector may comprise a bay connector.

Claim (Index 14):
The industrial safety controller of  claim 9  further comprising:\n a plausibility input terminal operative to receive the safety output signal, wherein the first processing unit is further operative to: \n perform a plausibility check on the plausibility input terminal, \n generate a plausibility check signal when the plausibility check verifies that a signal received at the plausibility input terminal corresponds to the safety output signal, and \n clear the plausibility check signal when the plausibility check determines that the signal received at the plausibility input terminal does not correspond to the safety output signal.
