Smarter Machine Safety Starts Here: Siemens Leads in Safety Solutions

Siemens is Leading the Way in Scalable, Flexible, and Future-Proof Safety Solutions

Machine safety is no longer just about compliance; it's also about enhancing productivity, sustainability, and peace of mind. As manufacturing environments grow more complex, machine builders and plant operators require safety systems that do more than react. They need intelligent, integrated solutions that can grow with their needs.

That’s where Siemens comes in.

Siemens’ comprehensive safety portfolio protects people, machines, processes, and the environment. It also meets today's demands for increased efficiency, flexibility, and evolving regulatory compliance.

✅ Scalable Safety — From Simple to Sophisticated

Whether you are implementing basic safety relays or advanced safety logic, Siemens has your needs covered.

SIMATIC S7-1200F and S7-1500F Controllers allow the implementation of nearly limitless safety functions. These controllers cater to a wide range of machine complexities. Integrated seamlessly with SINAMICS Drives and SIRIUS 3SK2 safety relays, they enable you to scale your solutions without needing to redesign your safety architecture.

By utilizing ET 200 distributed I/O connected via PROFINET/PROFIsafe, safety signals are efficiently collected, monitored, and managed. This unification reduces latency, increases transparency, and improves diagnostics.

⚙️ Safety in Every Operating Mode

Do you need to teach, maintain, or service a machine without completely shutting it down? Siemens makes this feasible.

Using S7-1200F/S7-1500F Controllers, SINAMICS Drives, and KTP 900F Safety HMIs, you can implement different safety modes tailored for each operation. From reduced speed teaching modes to safe stops during servicing, Siemens supports both your team's safety and your plant's uptime.

Utilize ET 200 F-I/O modules to select and switch among operation modes safely, ensuring the machine behaves correctly at all times.

🧠 Distributed, Decentralized, and Smarter

The era of extensive wiring bundles is gone. Siemens employs PROFIsafe over PROFINET to connect distributed safety functions across modular setups.

By positioning SIMATIC ET 200 failsafe I/O closer to sensors and actuators, you can minimize wiring, reduce error risks, and simplify the commissioning process.

📊 Failsafe Analog Processing? Siemens Does That, Too.

Safety encompasses more than just digital. Analog values like temperature and pressure require monitoring with failsafe precision as well.

ET 200SP failsafe analog input modules enable Siemens controllers to process and respond to analog safety inputs in real-time. Built-in libraries and diagnostics facilitate seamless integration into your broader safety strategy.
