For the safe communication Siemens applies the PROFIsafe profile,
certified according to IEC 61508.

 

PROFIsafe permits standard and safety-related communications on one and the same bus.
With SIL 3 (Safety Integrity Level) and Category 4 (EN 954-1), it fulfills the highest requirements in the process industries.



Your benefits with the PROFIsafe profile:
Reduced inventory thanks to savings on components
- one PROFIBUS cable for standard and safety-related communication is possible
Faster system setup and commissioning
- Use of existing PROFIBUS cable for fail-safe communication too
Increased flexibility

-

Safety and standard automation can be separated on two different PROFIBUS cables
