The aim is transport safety messages over profibus or Profinet. It is evenpossible to transmit safety messages on the existing standard bus cables in coexistence with the standard messages Have a look to http://www.profibus.com/technology/functional-safety/objectives/for more details.

But from that it means that, a Profisafe is just a Layer above profibus/profinet and that layer can only be created in Software & Hardware using F-modules. There is no such cabel that support Profisafe or classifies as a profisafe like profibus/profinet. For Profisafe aslo a same profibus cabel is used? please reply me whether i'm right or else elobrate it more clearly. Thanks for ur previous reply and waiting for ur another reply. Regards, AMMU

As it is based upon the standard PROFIBUS or PROFINET you may also use the same cable as PROFIBUS or PROFINET uses. So you do not have to change any cable if you want to run PROFISAFE on a usual PROFIBUS line. Best regards J_Bell
