Safety Programming and Configuration

The tool supports multiple programming languages, including F-LAD (ladder) and F-FBD (function block diagram) . Programmers must follow a strict structure with a Main Safety Block called by the F-OB organizational block . Fail-safe programs cannot access standard memory without explicit validity checks . The software automatically generates F-I/O DBs and safety runtime group structures .

System Integration and Application Use

This tool integrates with TIA Portal and STEP 7 V11 (or higher) for unified engineering . It supports safety-related communication between F-CPUs via PROFINET and PROFIBUS using SENDDP and RCVDP blocks . Engineers use this tool in chemical plants, power generation, and oil and gas facilities requiring functional safety . The single license activates one installation but can serve multiple projects on that workstation .
