Before diving into the Beckhoff-specific library, it is vital to understand the underlying framework. ISO 13849-1 quantifies the reliability of safety-related parts of control systems (SRP/CS) using a metric called Performance Level (PL), which ranges from PL a (lowest) to PL e (highest).

Create a new project in SISTEMA and define a (e.g., "Interlock Gate Protection"). Create three Subsystems : Input, Logic, and Output. Open the Beckhoff Local Library panel within SISTEMA. (Mean Time to Dangerous Failure): The expected operating

Each component entry includes its maximum achievable Performance Level (typically PL d or PL e) and required structural parameters. Step-by-Step: Using the Beckhoff Library in SISTEMA 1. Download and Import

The library populates critical variables into your SISTEMA project automatically: Create three Subsystems : Input, Logic, and Output

Modern Beckhoff drive technology features integrated TwinSAFE options (like STO, SS1, SOS, SLS). The library includes data for: servo drives. AMP8000 distributed servo drive systems. Step-by-Step: How to Use the Beckhoff Library in SISTEMA
