In the context of SIMATIC PCS 7, the following individual products are offered for the SIMATIC S7 Safety Matrix:

SIMATIC S7 Safety Matrix Tool

For the SIMATIC PCS 7 engineering system; for creating, configuring and compiling the Safety Matrix as well as for loading, operator control and monitoring of the safety-related CFC program.

The application covers the complete safety lifecycle from analysis through implementation up to operation and maintenance.

SIMATIC S7 Safety Matrix Editor

For creating, configuring, testing and documenting the Safety Matrix logic on an external computer independent of the SIMATIC PCS 7 engineering system (can optionally be used together with the Safety Matrix Tool).

The application is focused on planning and configuring in the analysis and implementation phases.

The SIMATIC S7 Safety Matrix Editor runs on a computer with Windows XP Professional 32-bit (from SP2), Windows Server 2003/2003 R2 32-bit (SP1 and higher), Windows 7 Ultimate 32/64-bit or Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard 64-bit operating systems. It also enables the Safety Matrix to be set up, configured, checked for plausibility and documented, independently of the engineering system of the SIMATIC PCS 7 process control system.

However, generation of the safety-related CFC program, compilation and downloading to the automation system and procedural testing are only possible with the SIMATIC S7 Safety Matrix Tool on the SIMATIC PCS 7 Engineering System.

SIMATIC S7 Safety Matrix Viewer

For the SIMATIC PCS 7 Operator System; for operator control and monitoring of the SIMATIC S7 Safety Matrix in the operating phase.

With the SIMATIC S7 Safety Matrix Viewer that can be installed on the SIMATIC PCS 7 Operator Station, single station or client version, the safety application can be operated and monitored simply and intuitively during operation.
