3.12 SI I/Os using fail-safe modules connected to
PROFIBUS DP (840D from SW 6.3.30)
3.12.1
Description of functions
From SW 6.3.30 onwards, the SINUMERIK 840D has a fail-safe DP master
(F master). The F master, in conjunction with the fail-safe DP modules
(F modules) permits fail-safe communications on PROFIBUS DP (PROFIsafe
communication) as specified by the PROFIsafe profile.
This means that the safety-relevant input/output signals of the process
(machine) can be coupled to the Safety Integrated function "Safe
programmable logic" (SPL) can be connected in the same way for the PLC and
NCK-SPL via the PROFIBUS DP.

SI I/Os via F modules on PROFIBUS DP
The benefits of this type of connection for safety-relevant I/O signals are:
•
Fewer cables are required as a result of the distributed structure
•
Unified PLC and NCK-SPL I/Os
•
Unified safety-relevant and non-safety-relevant I/Os.
PROFIBUS DP is an international, open field bus Standard specified in the
European field bus Standard EN 50170 Part 2. It is optimized for fast data
transfer at the field level (time critical).
In the case of the components that communicate via PROFIBUS DP, a
distinction is made between master and slave components.
1. Master (active node)
Components operating on the bus as master determine the data exchange
on the bus and are therefore also designated active nodes.
