Procedure for checking the Safety firmware version combinations 
The document in the link provided contains tables listing the permissible Safety firmware 
version combinations for the different Safety function classes (SINAMICS Basic Functions, 
SINAMICS Extended Functions, SINUMERIK Safety Integrated). 
The Safety firmware version relevant for the Safety function can be read from the Control 
Unit. The row containing this version number specifies the associated, permissible Safety 
firmware versions of the relevant drive components. These versions must be compatible with 
the versions installed on your system. 
8.7.2  Commissioning of Safety Integrated functions 
8.7.2.1  General information 
PROFIsafe commissioning with STARTER 
1. The Safety Integrated Basic Functions can be commissioned using STARTER in three 
ways: 
–  STO/SS1/SBC via terminals 
–  STO/SS1/SBC via PROFIsafe 
–  STO/SS1/SBC via PROFIsafe and terminals simultaneously 
2. The Safety Integrated Extended Functions can be commissioned using STARTER in 
three ways: 
–  Motion Monitoring via terminal 
–  Motion monitoring via PROFIsafe 
–  Motion monitoring via PROFIsafe and terminal simultaneously 
There follows a brief overview of the STARTER functionality which enables Safety Integrated 
Functions to be used by means of terminals, PROFIsafe, or a combination of the two. 
Safety slot 
In order to use Safety Integrated functions via PROFIBUS or PROFINET, a safety slot must 
first be created using SIMATIC Manager Step 7 and HW Config. The procedure to do this 
was described in the previous chapters. 
Expert list 
The Safety Integrated Basic Functions can be individually and manually set using the Expert 
list; the settings using the STARTER screen forms, however, are more user-friendly and you 
are less prone to making mistakes.
