Abstract

The design of binary safety PLC function blocks is an essential part of safety-related development processes. A development method has been developed that promisses a significant efficiency increase of the corresponding development process. The proposed workflow is based on the method used by PLCopen and extended by essential steps. This contribution explains the stepwise approach for specifying, developing and testing of safety function blocks.
