Chapter 6
Develop Safety Applications
This chapter explains the components that make up a safety project and
provides information on using features that help protect safety application
integrity, such as the safety task signature and safety-locking.
For guidelines and requirements for developing and commissioning SIL 3 and
PLe safety applications, refer to the GuardLogix 5570 and Compact
GuardLogix 5370 Controller Systems Safety Reference Manual, publication
1756-RM099.
The Safety Reference Manual addresses the following topics:
• Creating a detailed project specification
• Writing, documenting, and testing the application
• Generating the safety task signature to identify and protect the project
• Confirming the project by printing or displaying the uploaded project
and manually comparing the configurations, safety data, and safety
program logic
• Verifying the project through test cases, simulations, functional
verification tests, and an independent safety review, if required
• Locking the safety application
• Calculating system reaction time
