SIMATIC Safety Matrix
■ Overview
■ Design
The SIMATIC Safety Matrix which can be used in addition to the In the context of SIMATIC PCS 7, the following individual prod-
CFC is an innovative safety lifecycle tool from Siemens that can ucts are offered for the SIMATIC Safety Matrix:
be used not only for user-friendly configuration of safety applications,
but also for their operation and service. The tool, which is
based on the proven principle of a cause & effect matrix, is ideally
suited to processes where defined statuses require specific
safety reactions.
The SIMATIC Safety Matrix not only means that programming of
the safety logic is significantly simpler and more convenient, but
also much faster than in the conventional manner. During the risk
analysis of a plant, the configuration engineer can assign exactly
defined reactions (effects) to events (causes) which may occur
during a process.
• SIMATIC Safety Matrix Tool
for configuration of safety functions on the SIMATIC PCS 7 engineering
system
• SIMATIC Safety Matrix Editor
for creating and debugging the Safety Matrix logic in an external
computer, independent of the engineering system (can be
optionally used additive to the SIMATIC Safety Matrix Tool)
• SIMATIC Safety Matrix Viewer for SIMATIC PCS 7
for operation and monitoring of the SIMATIC Safety Matrix using
the SIMATIC PCS 7 operator system (for ordering data, refer
to page 5/15)

The SIMATIC Safety Matrix Editor offers the advantage that the
Safety Matrix can also be created, processed further and debugged
outside the SIMATIC PCS 7 engineering system. The
SIMATIC Safety Matrix Editor can be used on a computer with
Windows 2000 Professional SP2 or higher or Windows XP Professional.
However, generation of the safety-related CFC program
as well as compilation and downloading to the automation
system are only possible by means of the SIMATIC engineering
system with the SIMATIC Safety Matrix Tool.
