PROFIsafe
The Anybus CompactCom 40 PROFINET IRT IIoT Secure supports the PROFIsafe profile. This profile makes it possible for a user to send data on a black channel interface, i.e. a safe channel over PROFINET using an add on Safety Module, e.g. the IXXAT Safe T100/PS. For more information about this module, see IXXAT Safe T100 Manual, available at www.ixxat.com.
The Safety Module can be located in any valid slot. This is true for when the configuration is handled by the module, as well as when the configuration is handled by the application.
For an application to support PROFIsafe, the Functional Safety Object has to be implemented in the application. Slots are assigned using the Command Add_Safety_Module to the Network PROFINET IO object (0Eh). The safe communication is enabled in the host application Functional Safety Object (E8h).
The Anybus CompactCom serial channel is used for functional safety communication. If this channel is used for the host application, a second separate serial channel is implemented for the functional safety communication, see Anybus CompactCom Hardware Design Guide.
