STEP 7 Safety also makes the advantages of the TIA Portal available for fail-safe automation:

• Intuitive operation and the uniform operating concept (as with standard programming) enable a fast introduction to the creation of fail-safe programs.
• The F system is configured in the same way as standard automation.
• Ready-to-start: The F runtime group is set up automatically on insertion of the F-CPU.
• In connection with special signatures for the device parameters, the library concept supports in-house standardization and simplifies the validation of safety-oriented applications.
• The Safety Administrator Editor provides central support for the administration, display and modification of safety-related parameters.
• Uniform and integrated identification of all safety-related objects provides an instant overview.
