The Ixxat T100 Safe I/O Module is a powerful and reliable solution for safety-critical applications. Integrating it into your TIA Portal project is straightforward and can be done in six simple steps:

Steps to Integrate the Ixxat T100 into Your TIA Project:

Step 1 – Open TIA Portal: Begin by opening your TIA Portal and creating or loading the project where you want to integrate the Ixxat T100 module.

Step 2 – Add the Ixxat T100 Module to Your Hardware Configuration: In the hardware configuration of your project, add the Ixxat T100 Safe I/O Module. This will involve selecting the correct module from the device catalog in TIA Portal.

Step 3 – Configure Safety Parameters: Set up the safety parameters for the T100 module. The T100 can handle safety operations up to SIL3 or Performance Level (Ple) Cat. 4, so configure the module based on the safety requirements of your project.

Step 4 – Set Up Communication Interfaces: Ensure that the communication interfaces between the T100 and other components in your safety system are properly configured. This includes linking the T100 with your safety PLC in TIA Portal.

Step 5 – Validate Safety Configuration: Validate the safety configuration to ensure that the Ixxat T100 Safe I/O Module is set up correctly. You can do this by running a safety test or simulation within TIA Portal to confirm the proper functionality.

Step 6 – Download and Test the Configuration: Once everything is configured and validated, download the configuration to your PLC and test the system. Make sure the Ixxat T100 is functioning as expected in your safety-critical application.
