SIMATIC S7 F Systems Library + SP1 + Upd1

SIMATIC S7 F Systems Library + SP1 + Upd1 is a function block library for engineering safety-related applications on SIMATIC fail-safe controllers. It provides pretested, TÜV-certified building blocks and templates to implement and validate standard machine and plant safety functions more quickly and consistently, while supporting integrated diagnostics and safe communication with F‑I/O.

Key capabilities

• Certified function blocks for common safety tasks: emergency stop, guard door/ interlock monitoring, two-hand control, light curtains, muting, enabling switch, feedback/EDM, safe limited speed/position interfaces, safe timers and counters.
• Ready-to-use diagnostics and status interfaces to simplify commissioning and fault finding.
• Support for PROFIsafe communication with SIMATIC fail-safe I/O and drives.
• Example projects and parameterizable templates to accelerate project setup.
• Documentation and test certificates to support compliance with applicable SIL/PL requirements when used with approved hardware and engineering tools.

Compatibility and requirements

• Intended for SIMATIC fail-safe CPUs (e.g., S7-300F/400F/1200F/1500F) and SIMATIC F‑I/O modules.
• Usable with the corresponding engineering systems (STEP 7 with Distributed Safety or TIA Portal with Safety Basic/Advanced), depending on the controller generation. Refer to the release notes for exact version and firmware compatibility.

What’s included in SP1 + Update 1

• Maintenance updates that enhance stability and diagnostics, expand device and firmware support, and refine documentation and sample projects.
• Corrections to known issues from the base release. Review the included change log for details and any migration notes.

Typical use cases

• Machine safety (presses, packaging, material handling)
• Process skids and cells with integrated safety
• Retrofitting legacy installations with standardized safety functions

Notes

• Install the base library, then apply SP1 and Update 1 in order.
• Validate your application according to relevant standards and the library’s safety manual, and ensure versions match your controller firmware and engineering environment.
