Chapter 26 Safety Lab

Our Equipment includes:

Siemens CPU 1214FC DC/DC/DC PLC

Siemens SM 1226 F-DI DC Input Module
Siemens SM 1226 F-DQ DC Output Module
Two Siemens Sirius 3RH2122-2BB40 Relays
An Emergency Stop Station

Since several non-safety Inputs and Outputs are used in the lab, we will use the pushbutton
station from the lab, shown below:

The original solution to this lab was done by Austin Rhoads, EET Student – April 2021:

Download the program ‘Siemens Safety Advanced Program’ from the eng.utoledo.edu/~wevans
website. If you are interested in the more challenging project, download the ‘Siemens Safety
Starter Program’ from the same website and proceed through the tutorial in Ch. 20 of the Hybrid
Text. When you get to the end, you will have the same program as the advanced program.
