Use of fail-safe Siemens peripheral modules with third-party engineering systems

Hello SIOS Forum Community,

with the S7-Fail-safe Configuration Tool (S7-FCT) we offer a solution for the use of fail-safe peripheral modules from SIEMENS in an engineering system of a third party manufacturer by means of GSD project engineering.

The S7-FCT offers the following functionality:

• Support of GSD project planning of fail-safe ET 200 modules of PROFIsafe address type 2.
• Calculation and provision of the F_iPar_CRC for the fail-safe module parameters
• Assignment of the F source and F target address to the fail-safe modules

In addition to the download of the S7-FCT, the article also contains information on the topics:

• Requirements for the engineering system
• Supported peripheries

The manual for the S7-Fail-safe Configuration Tool can be found here.
