Introduction

Overview
ASIsafe – Safety is included
ASIsafe enables the integration of safety-related components,
such as EMERGENCY-STOP pushbuttons, protective door
switches or safety light arrays, in an AS-Interface network. These
are fully compatible with the familiar AS-Interface components
(masters, slaves, power supplies, repeaters, etc.) in accordance
with IEC 62026-2 and are operated in conjunction with them on
the yellow AS-Interface cable.
Tested safety
The transmission method for safety-related signals is approved
for implementing applications up to PL e according to EN ISO
13849-1 and up to SIL 3 according to IEC 62061/IEC 61508.
Higher-level control
Nodes on the AS-Interface bus are as usual controlled in opera-
tion by the standard program of the higher-level SIMATIC (F)
CPU or by a SINUMERIK control.
Configuring safety functions
In order to implement safe functions, the information from the
safe and standard nodes must be combined logically and fur-
ther parameters set. The configuration of the safety functions de-
pends on which safety solution is being used:
• In the case of the AS-i safety solution with F-CPU: In conjunc-
tion with the SIMATIC AS-i F-Link as a safe AS-i master, all
safety functions and logic operations are configured via STEP
7 and processed in the controller (F-CPU) by the fail-safe pro-
gram.
• In the case of the AS-i safety solution with local evaluation by
MSS: In conjunction with the Modular Safety System, all safety
functions and logic operations are configured using the MSS
ES software and processed in the MSS central unit.
AS-i safety solution with F-CPU
AS-Interface configuration with SIMATIC AS-i F-Link, consisting of an ET 200SP station with CM AS-i Master ST and F-CM AS-i Safety ST modules
The SIMATIC AS-i F-Link allows AS-Interface to be used with fail-
safe SIMATIC or SINUMERIK controls.
The allocation of tasks is as follows:
• Acquisition of safety-related signals via safe input slaves on
the AS-Interface bus.
Further signals can be acquired via other SIMATIC F-DI
modules.
• Evaluation and processing of signals via the fail-safe SIMATIC
or SINUMERIK control
• Reaction by safe output modules on the AS-Interface bus or
other SIMATIC F-DQ modules
The SIMATIC AS-i F-Link is implemented as a modular arrange-
ment of ET 200SP components.
Simple combination of the CM AS-i Master ST and F-CM AS-i
Safety ST modules in one ET 200SP station with PROFINET
interfacing results in a powerful PN/AS-i F-Link, which can be
expanded further in a modular fashion using ET 200SP I/O
modules.
Using these design methods, it is possible to create configura-
tions for virtually any application. Besides the single AS-i master,
double, triple or generally multiple masters can be realized with
or without fail-safe functionality.
