The CPU 315F-2 PN/DP allows a fail-safe automation system to be implemented for plants with increased safety requirements, especially in manufacturing automation.

It can be implemented as a PROFINET IO controller and as a standard PROFIBUS DP master in SIMATIC S7-300. The CPU 315F-2 PN/DP can also be implemented as distributed intelligence (DP slave).

Distributed I/O stations containing fail-safe I/O modules can be connected via the two integrated interfaces. The fail-safe ET 200M I/O modules can also be installed in central and safety-related configurations.

The safety-oriented communication between the F-CPU and the fail-safe I/O modules is performed on the basis of the PROFIsafe profile.

A SIMATIC Micro Memory Card is required for operation of the CPU.
