Safety Integrated - Reliable Communication over PROFINET with the PROFIsafe Profile

With Safety Integrated, Siemens is presenting as a one-stop supplier of automation systems, a complete, integrated safety program. Safety Integrated - as a component of Totally Integrated Automation - supports integrated safety systems: from the sensor to the evaluation unit through to safe stopping of the machine.

With SIMATIC Safety Integrated - the failsafe SIMATIC PLCs - applications can be transferred to a safe state or halted there when a fault occurs.

For failsafe communication, Siemens offers the standard PROFIBUS and now the new PROFINET with the PROFIsafe profile.

This means that you can now utilize the advantages of SIMATIC Safety Integrated under PROFINET: One CPU, one I/O system, one engineering system and one bus system for standard and failsafe automation.

Siemens offers a comprehensive, failsafe product spectrum for PROFINET that is based on the SIMATIC S7-300 and S7-400 programmable controllers. The failsafe modules of the ET 200S system and, for installation outside the control cabinet ET 200pro, can be directly connected to the PROFINET network through the corresponding PROFINET interface modules.
