System limits
The TÜV SÜD certificate applies to the EL6900, the function blocks available in it, the documentation and
the engineering tool. The permitted engineering tool is TwinCAT with the "TwinSAFE Verifier", the
TwinSAFE Loader or "CODESYS Safety for EtherCAT Safety Module". Any deviations from the procedures
or tools, particularly externally generated xml files for TwinSAFE import or externally generated automatic
project creation procedures, are not covered by the certificate.
The TwinSAFE terminals expand the application range of Beckhoff Bus Terminal system with functions that
enable them to be used for machine safety applications. The TwinSAFE terminals are designed for machine
safety functions and directly associated industrial automation tasks. They are therefore only approved for
applications with a defined fail-safe state. This safe state is the wattless state. Fail-safety according to the
relevant standards is required.
The TwinSAFE Terminals enable connection of:
