Integrating the DM-F PROFIsafe into the fail-safe automation system using PROFIBUS / PROFIsafe
or PROFINET / PROFIsafe
From the point of view of the fail-safe part of the controller, which transmits fail-safe signals
over PROFIBUS / PROFIsafe or PROFINET / PROFIsafe, the DM-F PROFIsafe is a fail-safe
digital output. This digital output allows the two relay enabling circuits of the DM-
F PROFIsafe to be simultaneously energized or tripped in a safety-related way. All other
SIMOCODE pro and DM-F PROFIsafe functions are irrelevant from this perspective.
Out of the addresses assigned on the DM-F PROFIsafe, the following output address in the
F-CPU is reserved for user data:
You are only allowed to access the address reserved for user data (output byte x, bit 0).
The other address areas assigned to the DM-F PROFIsafe are reserved for safety-related
communication between the DM-F PROFIsafe and the F-CPU in accordance with
PROFIsafe.
