PROFIBUS safety system SIMATIC

SIMATIC Safety Integrated allows the seamless integration of machine safety in automation. Because the safety functions are already integrated, there’s no need for a second, additional system. This results in potential savings on hardware and engineering and also allows you to achieve the perfect match between safety and machine design. Integrated safety for your future automation solution In the age of Industrie 4.0, production lines not only have to be highly flexible, they also need to be available and cost-efficient. At the same time, they must comply with the necessary safety requirements. As the demands placed on the manufacturing industry in adapting to market needs increase, so do the challenges facing machine builders. SIMATIC Safety Integrated implements consistent safety solutions based on Totally Integrated Automation (TIA) by seamlessly integrating safety functions into standard automation systems. By putting these together with the SINAMICS drives and its integrated safety functions using PROFINET or PROFIBUS via PROFISAFE, Siemens offers maximum integration and consistency. More efficient engineering TIA Portal provides you with complete access to the digitalized automation environment, from digital planning to integrated engineering and transparent operation, including for fail-safe applications. The result is more efficient engineering because the safety functions and the “normal” machine functions can be perfectly coordinated with each other.
