In the context of SIMATIC PCS 7, the following individual products are offered for the SIMATIC Safety Matrix:
SIMATIC Safety Matrix Tool for configuration of safety functions on the SIMATIC PCS 7 engineering system
SIMATIC Safety Matrix Editor for creating and debugging the Safety Matrix logic in an external computer, independent of the engineering system (can optionally be used to the SIMATIC Safety Matrix Tool additively)
SIMATIC Safety Matrix Viewer for SIMATIC PCS 7 for operation and monitoring of the SIMATIC Safety Matrix using the SIMATIC PCS 7 operator system (refer to the "OS software" section in the "Operator system" chapter of the Catalog ST PCS 7)

The SIMATIC Safety Matrix Editor offers the advantage that the Safety Matrix can also be created, processed further and debugged outside the SIMATIC PCS 7 engineering system. The SIMATIC Safety Matrix Editor can be used on a computer with Windows 2000 Professional SP2 or higher or Windows XP Professional. However, generation of the safety-related CFC program as well as compilation and downloading to the automation system are only possible by means of the SIMATIC engineering system with the SIMATIC Safety Matrix Tool.
