Extension Unit PROFIsafe - Safety configuration
This section describes how to configure the safety functions of an Extension Unit PROFIsafe
in combination with an F-CPU.
Note
Configuring Extension Unit PROFIsafe in combination with F-CPU
An Extension Unit PROFIsafe may only be configured in combination with an F-CPU.
The PROFIsafe address on the PROFIsafe device must be set and configured in the
engineering system, among other things, for PROFIsafe communication with a PROFIsafe
device in a system.
Note
The PROFIsafe address of a PROFIsafe device must be unique throughout the network and
station. You can assign a maximum of 1022 PROFIsafe addresses in a single system.
The configured PROFIsafe address must match the PROFIsafe address that is set on the
PROFIsafe device.
This section describes how to configure the PROFIsafe address of an Extension Unit
PROFIsafe in STEP 7 (TIA Portal).
Requirement
●
The PROFIsafe address on the communication module of the Extension Unit is set, see
section "Extension Unit PROFIsafe - Setting the PROFIsafe address (Page 52)".
●
The necessary software is installed.
●
You have opened a project with Extension Unit PROFIsafe and F-CPU.
●
The Extension Unit PROFIsafe and the F-CPU are networked over the PROFINET
interfaces.
