Create and Use a Safety Add-On Instruction
With the Studio 5000 Logix Designer application, you can create safety
Add-On Instructions. Safety Add-On Instructions let you encapsulate
commonly used safety logic into one instruction, which makes it modular and
easier to reuse.
Safety Add-On Instructions use the instruction signature of high-integrity
Add-On Instructions and also a safety instruction signature for use in safety-
related functions up to and including SIL 3.
Figure 20 on page 74
shows the steps that are required to create a safety Add-
On Instruction and then use that instruction in a safety application program.
The shaded items are steps unique to Add-On Instructions. See the links for an
explanation of those topics.
