Safety Integrated

Safety on the PC. How can that be achieved? Learn more in some videos: Videos

SIMATIC WinAC RTX F is the first fail-safe, SIL 3-capable software controller for multi-discipline automation tasks on a PC-platform. With WinAC RTX F, Siemens combines its many years of competence in standard and safety engineering with the openness of a PC-based system.
In addition to safety, the availability of a machine/plant is also important. Here we recommend turnkey SIMATIC bundles based on the industrial PC 427C, HMI IPC 477C and S7-modular Embedded Controller EC31.

The free Safety Evaluation Tool for the standards IEC 62061 and ISO 13849-1 helps you to assess the safety functions of your machine quickly and reliably. The online tool has been tested by the German Technical Inspectorate (TÜV) and provides a range of safety functions. Certified Siemens safety components can be selected from a database or entered manually. The tool calculates the Safety Integrity Level (SIL) or Performance Level (PL) achieved. The result is a standard-compliant report for machine documentation.
