Develop Safety Applications

Chapter 6

To properly configure produced and consumed safety tags to share data between
peer safety controllers, you must properly configure the peer safety controllers,
produce a safety tag, and consume a safety tag, as described below.

Configure the Peer Safety Controllers’ Safety Network Numbers

The peer safety controller is subject to the same configuration requirements as
the local safety controller. The peer safety controller must also have a safety
network number (SNN). The SNN of the peer safety controller depends upon
its placement in the system.

Follow these steps to copy and paste the SNN.

1. Add the producer controller to the consumer controller’s I/O tree.

2. In the producer controller’s project, right-click the producer controller and

choose Controller Properties.
