Beckhoff Sistema Library May 2026
Beckhoff SISTEMA Library is a specialized data collection that simplifies the safety evaluation of automated systems using Beckhoff components. It allows engineers to import predefined safety parameters directly into the SISTEMA software
Modeling Safety Functions: Drag and drop the component into your SISTEMA safety function. The library automatically populates critical safety values like MTTFd, DCavg, and Category. beckhoff sistema library
- Architecture and Runtime Interaction
Beckhoff Information System (Infosys): This is the central repository for all technical manuals, including safety application notes and component data sheets. Beckhoff Information System - Safety Section Beckhoff SISTEMA Library is a specialized data collection
Because the library blocks are pre-certified, SISTEMA instantly recognizes them. It pulls in the failure probabilities, the diagnostic coverage, and the architectural constraints. What used to be days of data entry becomes a near-instantaneous validation. Architecture and Runtime Interaction
A Practical Example: Filling a Tank
Let’s walk through a simple example: a tank filling process with an inlet valve, a drain valve, and a level sensor.

Step 2: Logic Programming
The programmer inserts the FB_SISTEMA_SafetyComponent blocks alongside the standard safety logic. For example, an emergency stop button is wired into a safety input terminal. The FB_SISTEMA_SafetyComponent block is instantiated to document that input terminal's safety parameters.
6. When Should You Still Use Tc2_System?
- Maintaining a TwinCAT 2 project.
- Legacy code that already uses it and works fine.
- You need to stop/start the PLC runtime from within the same PLC (no clean alternative in TwinCAT 3 except ADS commands).
