What is PN DP in Siemens?
Hello Bodemin; PN: Profinet. DP: Profibus-DP. It implies that the CPU you are working with has both Ethernet and Profibus interfaces (with dedicated protocols).
What is PROFIsafe address?
The PROFIsafe address is for the unique addressing of the F IO and for protecting standard address mechanisms like IP addresses. Here, the uniqueness is defined differently with the F IO of the PROFIsafe address type 1 and with the F IO of the PROFIsafe address type 2.
What is safety PLC Siemens?
SIMATIC Safety Integrated is the seamless integration of machine safety in the SIMATIC automation system. The system, comprising both hardware and software, offers the advantage of having the safety functions already built in, so no second, additional system is needed.
What is PN and DP?
Because PN(ProfiNet) DP(Decentralised Peripherals)
How do I change my Simatic Manager password?
You activate access protectionin SIMATIC Manager with the menu command Options > Access Protection > Enable. If you enable access protection for the first time with this menu command, a dialog opens in which you will need to log on with SIMATIC Logon. You will then be prompted to assign a project password.
What is PROFIsafe communication?
PROFIsafe (PROFIBUS safety or PROFINET safety) is a safety communication technology for distributed automation. PROFIsafe can be used in safety applications up to Safety Integrity Level 3 (SIL) according to IEC 61508, Performance Level “e” (PL) according to ISO 13849, or Category 4 according to EN 954-1.
What is a fail-safe PLC?
To make a PLC fail-safe the system does not require energization to stop the drives associated. For example, usually, an emergency stop is a normally closed contact. In the event of a power failure this would remove the power directly from the coil and also the PLC input. Hence, a fail-safe system.
What is difference between safety PLC and normal PLC?
A safety PLC allows for safety control and standard control while a standard PLC only allows the latter. By using a safety PLC to control a safety system, time and money are saved on field wiring since there is no need for safety relays.
Is Step 7 same as TIA Portal?
TIA Portal is new software platform for configure and program S7-300/400/1200/1500. STEP 7 is only applicable to S7-300/400. TIA Portal doesn’t support all hardware in range of STEP 7 specifically old S7-300/400 modules .
Can I open STEP 7 project in TIA Portal?
yes with trial professional it should be possible to migrate. You must install Step7 V5 (Classic) and Step7 V13 (TIA) side by side on the same system to migrate the project. Or if you have a system with Step7 Classic installation than you can install the TIA Migration Tool on it.
