The SmartSPS SafeLine AC4S device family supports the Safety NetVars CODESYS function
(fail-safe network variables). Safety NetVars ensure transmission and reception of safe data between
2 fail-safe PLCs in a CODESYS project.
Safety NetVars work according to the transmitter-receiver principle. It is necessary to create a
transmitter-receiver pair for each requested transmission direction. A transmitter can have several
receivers.
