You do not need additional engineering expertise, because the programming is done in the familiar STEP 7 environment. To this end, there is a library with pre-prepared, TÜV accepted blocks for safety-related functions. Both engineering tools offer commands, operations and blocks for safety-related programs in the LAD and FBD languages. Programs created with STEP 7 Distributed Safety can be migrated into the TIA Portal at any time.

Safety-oriented programs can, however, still be generated using STEP 7 and Distributed Safety. STEP 7 Safety is the seamless integration of safety into the TIA Portal. You can find additional information on operating system compatibility and compatibility with other products in the entry 'Compatibility tool for automation and drive technology' 64847781. Standardized and integrated identification of safety-related resources simplify the overview. STEP 7 Professional / Basic V13 SP2 (including WinCC Basic V13 SP2) can be installed on one computer in parallel with other versions of STEP 7 V11.V16. The Safety Administration Editor provides central support for the administration, display and modification of safety related parameters In connection with special signatures for the device parameters, the library concept supports in-house standardization and simplifies the validation of safety-oriented applications TIA Portal V13 SP1 projects can be used directly in TIA Portal V13 SP2 without any upgrade.
#SIMATIC STEP 7 PROFESSIONAL V13.0 13.00.01.00 WINDOWS 10#
Compatibility with Windows 10 was introduced for TIA Portal V13 with Service Pack 2. One of the reasons for this is that Microsoft only provides security updates for Windows 10. Implementation of distributed structures: Safe communication between remote controllers can be conveniently implemented with blocks Updates for TIA Portal V13 are currently only available on the basis of V13 SP2.Easy implementation of functions such as muting or safety door monitoring with a library of pre-written communication blocks approved by the German Technical Inspectorate (TÜV).Ready-to-start: F-runtime group is set up automatically on insertion of the F-CPUĬreation of the safety program in the FBD or LAD programming languages.The same configuration of the F-system as for the standard automation system.Intuitive operation and the same operating concept as for the generation of standard programs permit a quick entry into the generation of fail-safe programs.Using the SIMATIC STEP 7 Safety Basic or STEP 7 Safety Advanced option, you can exploit all the advantages of the TIA Portal for your fail-safe automation as well.
