To this end, there is a library with pre-prepared, TГњV 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. Standardized and integrated identification of safety-related resources simplify the overview. 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 Thanks to the integrated library with TГњV-certified function blocks, safety functions can easily be implemented Ready-to-start: F-runtime group is set up automatically on insertion of the F-CPUД¬reation 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. All configuration and programming tools required for generating a safety-oriented program are integrated into the STEP 7 user interface and use a common project structure.
