TIAセレクションツールによる安全性評価に関するFAQ
Safety Evaluation with the TIA Selection Tool according to IEC 62061 and ISO 13849-1 standards lets you assess your machine’s safety functions quickly and easily. As a result, you are provided with a standard-compliant report, which can be integrated in your machine documentation as a proof of safety.
To create a 2-channel system with two devices (e.g. two contactors), the 2-channel subsystem element must always be used. For the parameter assignment of a 2-channel system within a device (e.g. EMERGENCY STOP), the desired architecture or category must be specified during the initial parameter assignment
During the initial parameter assignment, the architecture or category of the component must be chosen depending on the selected standard. To do this, a corresponding parameter must be selected based on the structure of the module used. For 1-channel modules, the architecture is 1-channel according to IEC 62061 or category B, 1 or 2 according to ISO 13849. For modules that have an internal 2-channel structure (e.g. EMERGENCY STOP operating devices), a 2-channel structure or categories 3 and 4 is required.

The safety guide for optimum machine safety
Machine safety is a complex issue. Technical measures for machine safety make a significant contribution. Standardization recommends implementing a structured process.
But what exactly might a well-structured process look like?
We will show you what aspects are important, what is entailed and how you can plan and implement such a process in an efficient manner.
Proven benefits
Safety Evaluation with TIA Selection Tool continues the processes that are particularly important for Safety Evaluation: Automatically calculating and drawing up a report for machine safety in compliance with standards.
Additional benefits thanks to TIA Selection Tool
The convenient workflow offered by the TIA Selection Tool optimizes the job of assessing your machine’s safety functions and saves valuable time.
Safety Evaluation in the TIA Selection Tool provides neutral VDMA 66413 data interface
Universal data base for safety-related characteristic values. The Safety Evaluation in the TIA Selection Tool makes it possible to import characteristic values from other manufacturers and use them for calculation (as long as the manufacturer provides them in the library).
Importing safety-related parameters
The Safety Evaluation in the TIA Selection Tool can be used to import characteristic values from third party products in VDMA 66413 XML format and use them for calculation. The safety parameters of Siemens products for import into other tools are available as an XML file via the link below.
Unified data interface
The standard sheet VDMA 66413 “Functional Safety – Universal data format for safety-related values of components or parts of control systems” describes a standardized electronic exchange format for safety-related parameters of automation components. The aim of the standard sheet is to provide the safety parameters in a consistent format for calculation tools in the interest of the users.
Siemens collaborated extensively on defining the universal data format alongside other manufacturers and test agencies, such as IFA (Industrial Safety Institute of the DGUV), TÜV Rheinland, and TÜV SÜD.
Data import into the Safety Evaluation is performed using the menu item „Project“ -> „Import“ -> “VDMA library” which enables users to import third party VDMA 66413 XML files. Of course, it is also possible to enter safety-relevant product data manually.
