PROFINET Implementation Details 31 (258)
4.11 PROFIsafe
The Anybus CompactCom 40 PROFINET IRT supports the PROFIsafe profile. This profile
makes it possible for a user to send data on a black channel interface, i.e. a safe channel over
PROFINET using an add on Safety Module, e.g. the IXXAT Safe T100/PS. For more information
about this module, see IXXAT Safe T100 Manual, available at www.ixxat.com.
In both general and advanced mode, the Safety Module can be located in any valid slot. The
host application can specify the highest 16 bits of the module ID of the Functional Safety
Module.
For an application to support PROFIsafe, the Functional Safety Object in the application have
to be implemented. Slots are assigned using the Command Add_Safety_Module to the Network
PROFINET IO object (0Eh). The safe communication is enabled in the host application Func-
tional Safety Object (E8h).
The Anybus CompactCom serial channel is used for functional safety communication. When
this channel is used for the host application, a second separate serial channel, is implemented
for the functional safety communication, see Anybus CompactCom Hardware Design Guide.
