Overview

The integrated safety functions of SINUMERIK Safety Integrated are used in the machine
tools sector. They are integrated with two channels in the NC, the drive and the internal PLC,
and are used to monitor speed, standstill and position. Such monitoring is necessary if the
danger zone of the machines and systems is not blocked off.
During operation, the integrated safety functions provide effective operator protection as well
as protection of tools, materials and machines.
In the TIA Portal, you can select one of three modes in conjunction with the SINUMERIK:
Mode
SINUMERIK Safety Inte-
grated not active
Safety Integrated (SPL)
Safety Integrated plus (F-
PLC)
Refer to Section Changing the Safety Integrated mode for a description of how to set the
