Documentation and information
S7-1200 and STEP 7 provide a variety of documentation and other resources for finding the
technical information that you require.
● The
S7-1200 Functional Safety Manual presents an overview of the Siemens Safety
software and fail-safe CPUs and SMs and a Getting Started configuration and
programming example. However, the focus of the manual is the S7-1200 fail-safe SMs.
SM installation, configuration, diagnostics, applications, and technical specifications are
emphasized.

the English manual as the authoritative and/or original source in the case of
discrepancies between the translated manuals.
