1.4 Preconditions
CPU
The CPU must be fail-safe in order to be able to communicate with PROFIsafe devices.
These F-CPUs are contained in the catalog ST 70, SIMATIC S7.
Software
The version of PCS7 applies to PROFIsafe from V6.1 SP1 with the library from
V6.1 SP1 HF2, or with a STEP7 environment from V5.3 SP2. In addition to the standard
PCS7 or the STEP7 environment you require the software package F-Systems from
V5.2 SP4. The F-Systems software package is not included with the PROFIsafe device.
PROFIsafe device
For safety reasons, the PROFIsafe device is supplied with default settings. This means
PROFIsafe is deactivated. You activate PROFIsafe with the PROFIsafe commissioning.
