A safety system for use in a drive system includes first and second safety sensors that provide respective first and second sensor signals indicative of a safety condition of the drive system. The safety system includes a safety device that processes the first and second sensor signals to determine a safety state of the drive system, and that controls a unit of the drive system based on the safety state. The safety device includes a multi-core processor having first and second processing cores. In some embodiments, the first and second processing cores receive and process the respective first and second sensor signals in parallel to determine the safety state. In other embodiments, each of the first and second processing cores receive both the first and second sensor signals, and each of the first and second processing cores process both the first and second sensor signals to determine the safety state.
