Together with the S7 F Systems and SIMATIC Safety Matrix software, SIMATIC Safety Integrated supports the implementation and operation of safety applications for process automation.

Using the S7 F Systems engineering tool, you can configure the F/FH automation systems of the S7-400 series as well as the safety-related F-modules from the ET 200 range.

You can configure the safety-related applications simply, efficiently and without any time-consuming familiarization using Continuous Function Charts (CFC) and predefined function blocks from the S7 F Systems F-block library. However, this is even simpler, more convenient and faster using the Safety Matrix Tool based on CFC. This tool works according to the principle of a Cause&Effect matrix. Once you have defined reactions (effects) to all events (causes) occurring during a process, the tool automatically produces complex safety programs.

The Safety Matrix Viewer allows you to operate and monitor the SIMATIC Safety Matrix from the SIMATIC PCS 7 OS single station or from the SIMATIC PCS 7 OS client.
