Safety

SIMATIC Safety Integrated of the integrated F-CPU
For failsafe operation of your plant, program the F-CPUs of the SIMATIC Drive Controller. Use
the "STEP 7 Safety Advanced" of the TIA Portal for this purpose. In combination with the TIA
Portal, the F-CPU offers optimal integration of failsafe systems into your engineering
environment; one controller, one communication system and one engineering platform for
standard and failsafe automation:
• Integration of safety technology
• Instructions approved by German Technical Inspectorate for frequently required safety
applications
• Integration of safety functions up to SIL 3 in accordance with IEC 61508, SILCL 3 in
accordance with IEC 62061 and/or PL e and Category 4 in accordance with ISO 13849-1
• Uniform engineering for standard and safety automation
• Simple documentation of safety-related changes via the F change history in STEP 7 Safety
• Support in the acceptance of the safety program and no renewed acceptance of the safety
program after changes in the standard program
Advantages
SIMATIC Safety Integrated provides you with the following advantages:
• Engineering with SIMATIC STEP 7 Safety Advanced in the TIA Portal, same engineering and
operating concept for standard and failsafe automation task
• Use of instructions approved by the German Technical Inspectorate from the system
library Safety in the safety program, for example for protective door, emergency stop,
monitored feedback loop circuit and user acknowledgment; saves time and reduces the
error rate
• Simple connection of PROFIsafe devices via PROFINET and PROFIBUS
• Convenient configuration of the drive-side safety technology with SINAMICS Startdrive
(with Startdrive Advanced including integrated safety acceptance test to facilitate the
necessary documentation)
• Additional password protection for F-CPU and safety program for IT security
• Integration in integrated system diagnostics
