This is the web edition of the original ‎⮫ AC500-S safety user manual, version 1.3.2. This web edition is provided for quick reference only. The original safety user manual must be used to meet functional safety application requirements.

The engineering suite Automation Builder is a platform for configuration and programming of IEC 61131 related applications.

For configuring and programming safety applications, you must use Automation Builder with installed and licensed safety engineering with its safety components (AC500-S Programming Tool and safety configurator).

The safety concept for safety components in Automation Builder software assures that the programming system works correctly for implementing safety functions in AC500-S, meaning that programming system errors can be detected. The communication between AC500-S Programming Tool and the safety CPU is not a part of the safety loop, but is still subject to checks, for example, a CRC is used during the download of a project in order to verify that the data are transferred correctly and that there is no communication error. The user is responsible to additionally check the version and functionality of his project as well as the proper configuration of safety and non-safety modules.

The Automation Builder safety components allow creating safety applications up to SIL 3 (IEC 61508, IEC 62061 and IEC 61511) / PL e (ISO 13849) safety integrity level.

The compatibility of Automation Builder version is dependent on the used safety and non-safety CPUs.
