Creating and configuring a Safety Matrix

Note
You can find information on creating and configuring a Safety Matrix in the "SIMATIC
Industrial Software Safety Matrix"
(https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/view/100675874) manual.
Versioning
A Safety Matrix is determined by its version number, file version, and signature. Each time
the matrix is saved, the file version changes along with the minor version number depending
on the change made. Changing the minor version number also changes the signature. Both
values are downloaded to the AS. During online access from the engineering tool or OS, the
values are compared and a message is output if any differences are detected. If a matrix
with a modified version number and signature is downloaded to the CPU, the OS server and
single stations will need to be compiled and downloaded as well.
