Configuration and operation

Introduction
The following example shows a possible application of the safety functions of the
Mobile Panel 277F IWLAN.
Note
This example is restricted exclusively to the typical functionality of the Mobile
Panel 277F IWLAN, in this case to the "override" mode. Additional security measures, e.g.
reducing speeds when opening protective doors, must also be taken into consideration in the
safety program,depending on the plant. These measures are, however, not dependent on
the functionality of the "override" mode.
Please also observe the information on S7 Distributed Safety, which you can find in the
programming and operating manual "SIMATIC S7 Distributed Safety - configuring and
programming" and in the online help for S7 Distributed Safety.
