The invention relates to an elevator system (1) which has a drive (3), a car (5), multiple safety function components (9a-p) for providing safety functions at different positions within the elevator system (1), and a safety monitoring system (11) for controlling all of the safety function components (9a-p). The safety monitoring system (11) has multiple safety monitoring units (13a-e). The elevator system (1) is characterized in that the safety monitoring units (13a-e) have an input interface for reading data or signals, a data processing unit for processing the data or signals into control signals, and an output interface for outputting the control signals to an assigned safety function component of the safety function components (9a-p). At least some of the safety monitoring units (13) of the safety monitoring system (11) are connected together via data exchange channels (15). Furthermore, the safety monitoring units (13a-e) of the safety monitoring system (11) are organized in the form of a master/slave hi
