SIMATIC Safety Matrix

■Overview

The SIMATIC Safety Matrix which can be used in addition to the CFC is an innovative safety lifecycle tool from Siemens that can be used not only for user-friendly configuration of safety applica- tions, but also for their operation and service. The tool, which is based on the proven principle of a cause & effect matrix, is ide- ally suited to processes where defined statuses require specific safety reactions.

The SIMATIC Safety Matrix not only means that programming of the safety logic is significantly simpler and more convenient, but also much faster than in the conventional manner. During the risk analysis of a plant, the configuration engineer can assign exactly defined reactions (effects) to events (causes) which may occur during a process.

■Benefits

The advantages of the SIMATIC Safety Matrix in the implementa- tion phase:

7 Simple programming using Cause&Effect method

7 No programming knowledge required

7 Automatic generation of CFCs including driver blocks

7 Automatic version tracking

7 integrated change tracking

7 1-to-1 printout of Cause&Effect matrix

■Design

In the context of SIMATIC PCS 7, the following individual prod- ucts are offered for the SIMATIC Safety Matrix:

•SIMATIC Safety Matrix Tool

for configuration of safety functions on the SIMATIC PCS 7 en- gineering system

• SIMATIC Safety Matrix Editor 4

for creating and debugging the Safety Matrix logic in an exter- nal computer, independent of the engineering system (can be optionally used additive to the SIMATIC Safety Matrix Tool)

•SIMATIC Safety Matrix Viewer for SIMATIC PCS 7

for operation and monitoring of the SIMATIC Safety Matrix us- ing the SIMATIC PCS 7 operator system (for ordering data, re- fer to page 5/15)

The SIMATIC Safety Matrix Editor offers the advantage that the Safety Matrix can also be created, processed further and de- bugged 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 Pro- fessional. However, generation of the safety-related CFC pro- gram 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.
