Abstract

The invention relates to a detection system employed for securing a start-up of an application, said system comprising at least one first detector (D 2 ) and one second detector (D 3 ), each detector comprising two input terminals (I 1 , I 2 ) connected to its logic inputs, two output terminals (O 1 , O 2 ) connected to its logic outputs and two power supply terminals (0V, +24V) connected to two electrical power supply lines. The two output terminals (O 1 , O 2 ) of the first detector (D 2 ) are connected to the two input terminals (I 1 , I 2 ) of the second detector (D 3 ) and the two output terminals (O 1 , O 2 ) of the second detector (D 3 ) are connected to control devices (K 1 , K 2 ) of the application to be secured, so as to form a detection chain.
