Highlights of integrated safety functions

SIMATIC Safety Functionality: Safety to the core

Safety at the core

SIMATIC fail-safe controllers leverage so called ‘coded processing’ technology, delivering SIL 3-conformant safety logic and mathematical operations independent of underlying hardware architecture – safety at the core of every operation.

SIMATIC Safety Functionality: PROFIsafe communication

PROFIsafe communication

One protocol, plant-wide safety. PROFIsafe runs over standard networks – connecting SIMATIC controllers with a vast ecosystem of fail-safe sensors and actuators across distributed plants.

SIMATIC Safety Functionality: SIL requirements

Designed for SIL requirements

Parameterize single or redundant I/O with built-in diagnostics – fully handled in the module. Your fail-safe program stays effortlessly simple.

SIMATIC Safety Functionality: safety testing and diagnostics

Integrated fail-safe I/O testing

SIMATIC fail-safe I/O modules provide advanced diagnostics with autonomous detection of short circuits, wire breaks, and cross-circuits – reducing commissioning effort and ensuring safety.

SIMATIC Safety Functionality: Safety libraries

Approved libraries

SIMATIC LSafe libraries deliver TÜV-approved function blocks for standard safety logic, significantly reducing engineering and testing time for repetitive functions while allowing engineers to focus on custom safety requirements.

SIMATIC Safety Functionality: Burner management

Burner management

From single burner to full furnace, using oil, gas or hydrogen. The TIA Portal burner block library keeps fuel and combustion air in perfect balance with flexible control concepts.

SIMATIC Safety Functionality: Redundancy

Redundancy and safety

LSafe_FRedIO adds redundancy to fail-safe I/O modules for single or redundant sensors and actuators. Even on module or channel failure, your process keeps running.
