Introduction

In this example, a fail-safe function block (F-FB) will be programmed with a safety door
function, an emergency stop function (safety circuit for switch-off in case of emergency stop,
open safety door, or someone entering the protected area monitored by the laser scanner), a
feedback circuit (as protection against reclosing in case of faulty load), a user
acknowledgement for reintegration, and indirect switching of a motor using two contactors.
The programmed F-FB will then be compiled to form a safety program and downloaded to
the fail-safe CPU.
Fail-Safe SM data blocks (F-IO DBs)
An F-IO DB is automatically generated when you add a fail-safe SM to your configuration.
The F-I/O DBs generated for the example I/O are located in the "Project tree" in the
"Program blocks", "System blocks" folder:
