What is claimed is: 1. A method for determining or monitoring a process variable, comprising the steps of: defining a value for at least one process parameter via a selection menu at a second unit not developed according to a safety standard or at a unit not satisfying a safety standard; and transmitting the selected value of the process parameter to a first unit developed according to a safety standard and fulfilling a safety-relevant protective function, wherein the selected process parameter is transmitted from the first unit back to a second unit; and storing the parameter in the first unit, when the value of the process parameter displayed at the second unit agrees with the selected value of the process parameter. 2. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein: the selected value of the process parameter is locked in the first unit via a PASSWORD input. 3. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein: a stored process parameter is edited and changeable via a PASSWORD input. 4. A device for determining or monitoring a physical or chemical process variable of a fill substance in a container having: at least one electrical, electronic and/or programmable electronic component, which fulfills at least one safety-relevant protective function, wherein: the safety-relevant protective function satisfies a given safety standard and is developed according to the given safety standard; a signal path is provided, over which at least the analog current signal of the protective function, or of the limit switch function, as the case may be, is transmittable from a first unit into a second unit of said at least one electrical, electronic, or programmable electronic component; said first unit satisfies the given safety standard and is developed under the given safety standard; said signal path or said second unit does not satisfy the safety standard; a control/evaluation unit is provided, which transmits the protective function, or the limit switch function, as the case may be, from said second unit back into said first unit developed under the given safety standard; and the protective function, or limit switch function, as the case may be, transmitted from said first unit and the protective function, or said limit switch function, read back into said first unit are recognizable and distinguishable. 5. The device as claimed in claim 4, wherein: the device is a device for the continuous measurement or monitoring of the fill level of the fill substance in the container; and the protective function is a limit switch function. 6. The device as claimed in claim 5, wherein: said limit switch function is accomplished by hardware and/or software. 7. The device as claimed in claim 4, wherein: the protective function, or said limit switch function, as the case may be, is embodied redundantly. 8. The device as claimed in claim 4, wherein: the protective function, or said limit switch function, as the case may be, is embodied with diversity. 9. The device as claimed in claim 4, further having: a digital bus system for transmitting the protective function said bus system satisfying a given safety standard and is developed under the given safety standard. 10. The device as claimed in claim 4, wherein: the protective function, or said limit switch function, as the case may be, is derived from an analog current signal. 11. The device as claimed in claim 4, further having: an input unit; an operating tool and/or a display, by way of which the device can be parametered and/or calibrated. 12. The device as claimed in claim 4, further having: a switch element, by way of which the protective function, or said limit switch function, as the case may be, can be switched on or off.
