PROFIsafe Documents

The PROFIsafe Policy provides a set of rules for the PROFIBUS/PROFINET community to follow in order to define a high quality level of PROFIsafe products and services.

One of the major events within the lifetime of PI was the first release of a specification for safety communication in 1999. It caused a step change in possibilities in the world of automation. Since this event, PROFIsafe has evolved to become the leading and most comprehensive safety communication technology in the world.

A comprehensive examination of application scenarios by numerous safety experts from well-known companies has resulted in an open solution for PROFIBUS and PROFINET: the PROFIsafe technology.
