1. A method for operating a monitoring module in a monitoring system, comprising:

  • configuring the monitoring module to detect impulse signals from sensors of the monitoring module and from other monitoring modules of the monitoring system;

    configuring the monitoring module to dynamically change its role within the monitoring system, wherein each role is defined by with a group of functions, a function defining a relation between an impulse signal detected by a monitoring module and a monitoring response of the monitoring module;

    detecting, by the monitoring module, one or more impulse signals from a sensor of the monitoring module and/or from another monitoring module of the monitoring system;

    selecting, in the monitoring module on a basis of the detected one or more impulse signals, a role of the monitoring module within the monitoring system;

    determining a prevailing set of functions in a group of functions corresponding to the selected role;

    determining one or more monitoring responses with the prevailing set of functions.
