The library contains data for the entire TwinSAFE ecosystem, including:

The is a collection of safety-related parameters for Beckhoff components (like TwinSAFE I/Os and logic units) designed for use in the SISTEMA software . This tool allows engineers to evaluate the Performance Level (PL) of safety functions according to ISO 13849-1. 1. Downloading the Library

Create a new project in SISTEMA and define your specific safety function (e.g., "E-Stop cutting power to Main Conveyor Motor").

Reliability values for individual components (like EL-terminals) can be found in the Download Finder by searching for "SISTEMA" or the specific hardware part number. Download finder | Beckhoff Worldwide

The Beckhoff SISTEMA Library represents the modernization of functional safety engineering. By embedding safety validation data directly into the control program, Beckhoff has streamlined the path from design to certification. For automation engineers, mastery of this library is essential for delivering efficient, compliant, and robust safety systems in an Industry 4.0 environment. It transforms safety compliance from a retrospective paperwork exercise into an integrated engineering discipline.

The safety level achieved often depends on how the terminal is wired (e.g., single-channel vs. dual-channel input). Ensure the library element you select matches your physical wiring scheme.

“What did you do?” Jens asked.

Standard safety validation follows a disjointed process:

In the era of Industry 4.0, safety should not be a static sticker—it should be a living calculation. With the Beckhoff Sistema Library, it finally is.

A packaging machine uses an emergency stop button (B&R or Allen-Bradley, but integrated with Beckhoff I/O) connected to a TwinSAFE EL1904 input terminal. The contactor is an EL2904 output terminal.
