    Abstract: A safety system and a method for localizing at least one object having a control and evaluation unit have at least one radio location system. The radio location system has at least three arranged radio stations. Position data of the object can be determined by means of the radio location system and can be transmitted to the control and evaluation unit. At least three radio transponders are arranged at the object, each arranged spaced apart from one another and the three radio transponders form different points on a plane and unambiguously define the plane in space. The control and evaluation unit is configured to compare the position data of the radio transponders and to form checked position data of the object. The control and evaluation unit is configured to form orientation data of the object from the position data of the radio transponders.

    Abstract: A method and a safety system for localizing at least two objects has a control and evaluation unit, and at least one radio location system. The radio location system has at least three arranged radio stations, wherein at least two respective radio transponders are arranged at the objects. The two radio transponders are arranged spaced apart from one another. Position data of the radio transponders and thus position data of the objects can be determined by means of the radio location system, and the position data can be transmitted from the radio station of the radio location system to the control and evaluation unit and/or the position data can be transmitted from the radio transponder to the control and evaluation unit. The control and evaluation unit is configured to cyclically detect and compare the position data of the radio transponders.

    Abstract: The invention relates to an optoelectronic position detection system for position determination having a positioning scale with position marks and a sensor apparatus with two sensor units each consisting of a light receiver for generating received signals from received light that was reflected by the position marks and each having an evaluation unit for evaluating the received signals and outputting the evaluation results. To provide a position detection system that works more robustly and more reliably and that in particular satisfies the functional safety such as is demanded by the relevant safety standards, it is proposed that the sensor units are configured as identical. The invention further relates to a method for failsafe position determination in which position marks on a positioning scale are detected by an optoelectronic position detection system.
