The integrated F-CPU of the SIMATIC Drive Controller processes
standard and safety programs on a single component. This allows
fail-safe data to be evaluated in the standard user program. As a
result of the integration, the system advantages and the extensive
functionality of SIMATIC are also available for fail-safe applications.
The F-CPU is certified for use in safety mode up to:
Safety class (Safety Integrity Level) SIL 3 according to IEC
•
61508:2010
Performance Level (PL) e and Category 4 according to ISO
•
13849-1:2006 or according to EN ISO 13849-1:2008
An additional password protection for the F-configuration and safety
program is set up for IT security.
Besides the F-CPU, SINAMICS Integrated also has integrated safe-
ty functions.
The system automatically creates alarms for the system diagnostics
and outputs the alarms via a PG/PC, HMI device or web server.
System diagnostics information is also available when the CPU is in
STOP mode.
The web server lets you access the CPU data over a network.
Evaluations, diagnostics, and modifications are thus possible over
long distances. Monitoring and evaluation is possible without
STEP 7; all you need is a Web browser. Make sure that you take
appropriate measures (e.g. limiting network access, using firewalls)
to protect the CPU from being compromised.
Trace functionality supports you in troubleshooting and/or optimiz-
ing the user program.
You record device tags and evaluate the recordings with the trace
and logic analyzer function. Tags are, for example, drive parame-
ters or system and user tags of a CPU.
The device saves the recordings. You can read out and permanent-
ly save the recordings with the configuration system (ES), if re-
quired. The trace and logic analyzer function is therefore suitable
for monitoring highly dynamic processes.
