The fail-safe modules of ET 200MP expand the range of the ET 200MP/S7-1500 system family. They are incorporated seamlessly into the Safety Integrated concept as with 200SP/ET 200S/ET 200M/ET 200iSP/ET 200pro and S7-1200. Safety-related communication via PROFIsafe is also supported. The fail-safe modules for digital inputs and outputs (DI and DQ) are the same size as the 35-mm wide standard modules. Their functional safety is certified in accordance with IEC 61508. They are designed for safety-related use up to SIL 3 according to IEC 62061 and PL e according to ISO 13849.

One special feature of the F modules of the SIMATIC ET 200MP is that the F-address is not set manually using the DIP switch on the module. They are now assigned during commissioning via the engineering system. When a module is replaced, the F-address stored in the electronic coding element remains in the front connector. When a new module is inserted, it automatically receives the F-address from the coding element. New assignment of the F address is therefore unnecessary. This new feature simplifies the set-up process and saves time.

Totally Integrated Automation (TIA)

Safety technology (Safety Integrated) is a component of Totally Integrated Automation and provides total integration of safety automation and standard automation.

Whereas standard automation (classical PLCs) and safety automation (electro-mechanics) are still separate today, these two worlds are growing together into a uniform, integrated overall system. Siemens is thus able to present itself as a complete supplier of automation technology, in which safety engineering is part of the standard automation and system-wide integration exists.
