Safety Integrated

It is the goal of the safety technology to keep potential hazards as low as possible for man, machine and environment. Siemens therefore offers seamless and integrated safety solutions for all industries.

Safety Integrated Near you

Due to new standards in machine safety we need to rethink existing safety concepts. Integrating the safety technology directly into the standard automation entails decisive competitive advantages for both machine manufacturers and system operators.
Experience, live and up close, our comprehensive solution portfolio for machine safety and let us show you that Safety Integrated offers the easier and faster way to safe and productive machine concepts, with customized solutions for your requirements.
The Siemens Automation Innovation Tour - Safety Integrated takes place in more than 100 locations all over the world.

E-Learning for SIMATIC Safety Integrated

In this new learning program you get to know all about failsafe SIMATIC and its benefits and potential. Examples illustrate how to configure the hardware correctly. You learn about the structure of failsafe programs and how data exchange between standard and failsafe programs works. You also find out what you have to keep in mind during programming and how easy it is to migrate from conventional safety engineering to SIMATIC Safety Integrated.

Safety Integrated in Drives Engineering

The SINAMICS G120 and G120D frequency converters provide enhanced, innovative, safety-oriented features from firmware V3.2. The following safety functions have now been integrated in the drives:

SLS (Safely Limited Speed) from standstill

Reverse mode with SLS

Better use of PROFIsafe confirmation signals

Simplified safety acknowledgement

Safety functions with SINAMICS

Safety Solutions via PROFINET IO with Wireless Transmission (IWLAN)

PROFINET IO also allows safety-related signals (e.g. emergency-stop motor) to be exchanged between the ET 200 distributed IO and a SIMATIC S7-CPU. For some applications, wireless communication (IWLAN) is the more cost-effective solution. In some cases, it is the only option, e.g. for communication between mobile or difficult-to-access areas in an automation system. A new use case describes this solution. To this end STEP 7 code can be downloaded free of charge.

Safety-oriented Master-I-Slave Communication with PROFIBUS DP

In safety-critical applications, the transfer of safety-related data (e.g. emergency stop signal) to a safety-related (failsafe) evaluation unit (e.g. F-CPU) must be ensured, or you must have some other way of exposing errors in data transfer. The PROFIBUS and PROFINET bus systems ensure reliable data transfer thanks to the PROFIsafe safety profile. The safety function example available for downloading illustrates safety-related bidirectional Master-I-Slave communication via PROFIBUS DP.
