A system, apparatus, and method for maintaining communication integrity in a safety system. A link integrity signal indicative of any short circuits or open circuits in a first communication link is communicated. A control signal having characteristics corresponding to the communication state of the first communication link is generated. A communication link switch is coupled to the first communication link and one or more second communication links; this link switch being controlled in response to the control signal characteristics. If the control signal characteristics indicate that a failure affecting any one or more signals associated with the first communication link has occurred, the connection is switched to one of the second communication links.
