Beckhoff Sistema — Library

The library typically consists of several function blocks designed to handle different levels of the safety architecture:

  • FB_SISTEMA_SafetyFunction: A higher-level block used to group components into a complete safety function (e.g., "Emergency Stop Stop Category 0").
  • Beckhoff Sistema Library is a system-oriented collection of Beckhoff/TwinCAT software components designed to accelerate automation projects by providing reusable function blocks, device drivers, communication stacks, and templates. Proper version, licensing, and integration practices are essential for reliable deployment.

    Beckhoff SISTEMA Library: Comprehensive Integration Report Beckhoff SISTEMA Library

    is a specialized collection of safety-related characteristic values provided by Beckhoff to facilitate the verification of safety functions in machinery. This library is designed for use within the

    (Safety Integrity Software Tool for the Evaluation of Machine Applications) utility, which calculates reliability values and achieved Performance Levels (PL) in accordance with DIN EN ISO 13849-1 1. Overview and Purpose beckhoff sistema library

    Modern machine safety requires rigorous calculation of safety integrity. The Beckhoff SISTEMA library simplifies this by providing pre-validated data for components. Modeling Capabilities

    : Allows users to model safety functions before realization or evaluate them after implementation. Reliability Data : Contains essential parameters such as cap M cap T cap T cap F sub d (Mean Time To dangerous Failure), cap D cap C sub a v g end-sub (Average Diagnostic Coverage), and cap C cap C cap F (Common Cause Failure). Compliance : Supports the universal VDMA 66413

    format, which ensures compatibility across different safety assessment tools. 2. Key Components Covered

    The library typically includes data for Beckhoff's extensive safety portfolio:

    : Digital and analog safety terminals (e.g., EL19xx, EL29xx series). Safety Controllers The library typically consists of several function blocks

    : Dedicated TwinSAFE Logic components like the EL6910 or software-based controllers. Motion Control

    : Safety-related drive functions for integrated motion solutions. 3. Integration Workflow

    In the world of industrial automation, there is a distinct divide between two types of engineers. On one side, you have the control engineers, fluent in the logic of IEC 61131-3, PLCs, and real-time motion. On the other, you have the safety engineers, guardians of human life, who speak the language of ISO 13849-1, Performance Levels (PL), and reliability data.

    Historically, these two worlds communicated through stiff requirements documents and static PDFs. But in the Beckhoff ecosystem, a powerful, often underappreciated tool has dissolved that barrier: the Sistema Library.

    In standard programming, a function block is just a logic container. In the Beckhoff safety ecosystem (TwinSAFE), a function block carries an identity. When you drag a safety component into your project—for example, an emergency stop logic block—it doesn't just bring code. It brings a payload of metadata. This metadata contains the specific reliability metrics (PFH - Probability of dangerous Failure per Hour) required by the SISTEMA calculation engine.

    It ensures that the safety validation is based on the actual programmed configuration. If the hardware changes in TwinCAT, the export changes accordingly, alerting the safety engineer that recalculation is necessary.
