Safety Matrix: intersections define the linking of causes and effects

Configuration of analog or digital causes and their digital effects

The matrix table is comparable with a spreadsheet program, and 

the configuration engineer first enters the possible process 

events (inputs) in the horizontal lines, and then configures their 

type and number, logical links, possible delays and interlocks, 

and any tolerable faults. In the vertical columns, he subse-

quently defines the reactions (outputs) to a particular event.
Events and reactions are linked simply by clicking the cell at the 

intersection of the row and column. Using these data, the 

SIMATIC Safety Matrix automatically generates complex, safety-

related CFC programs. No special programming knowledge is 

required of the configuration engineer, and he can completely 

concentrate on the safety requirements of the plant.
