SIMATIC Safety F-system with ET 200SP
The following figure shows a sample configuration for a SIMATIC Safety F-system with,
among other things, an ET 200SP on a PROFINET IO. The PROFINET IO lines can be set
up with copper cable, with fiber-optic cable or WLAN.
You will find further information on the Internet at Application planning (Page 13).
Tasks of the fail-safe IO controller (F-CPU) include the exchange of safety-related and non-
safety-related data with fail-safe and standard ET 200SP modules.

Use in safety mode only
Fail-safe modules can only be used in fail-safe mode. They cannot be used in non-fail-safe
mode In this context, fail-safe mode/non-fail-safe mode refers to the operating mode of the
F-I/O module, which either does or doesn't support safety-related communication via safety
message frames.
Fail-safe modules and non-fail-safe modules can be combined within an ET 200SP.
