Features:
- Sixteen failsafe digital inputs can include two-out-of-three evaluation and line short-circuit testing.
- Eight failsafe outputs are tested separately from the two groups of ordinary single-channel outputs.
- STEP 5 control logic and COM 95F safety parameters occupy distinct engineering roles.
The S5-95F arrangement pairs two identical basic units so safety-related processing can be compared across the system.
Interrupt and counter inputs give the controller dedicated paths for time-critical and pulse-related safety functions.
PG/OP/TD, SINEC L1 and PROFIBUS connections provide separate routes for engineering, operation and network exchange.
The Siemens 6ES5095-8FB01 SIMATIC S5-95F Failsafe Programmable Controller may still be available for purchase and support from Apter Power beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

Evaluating safety-related field states
- Failsafe inputs: Sixteen onboard channels carry the safety-related digital states into the controller.
- Voting mode: Two-out-of-three evaluation lets three assigned signals be assessed as one safety decision.
- Line test: The input short-circuit test is assigned to the relevant subunit rather than treated as a general wiring check.
- Diagnostic result: Detected input or line faults are processed through the parameterized failsafe reaction.
Separating failsafe and ordinary output paths
- Safety outputs: Eight failsafe channels carry commands whose output path is checked by the controller.
- Test interruption: Defined switch-off pulses expose faults that would otherwise leave an output continuously energized.
- Standard groups: Two groups of four single-channel outputs remain distinct from the failsafe output set.
- Program reaction: The configured error response determines how a failed output test affects system operation.
Dividing control logic from safety parameters
- STEP 5 program: The user control sequence is stored in the controller program area.
- System parameters: COM 95F defines the safety-related operating data used by the basic units.
- Startup behavior: Parameter settings control how the system enters operation after power-up or a detected fault.
- Acceptance record: The COM 95F workflow supports checking and documenting the approved parameter set.
Keeping both S5-95F basic units aligned
- Order number: Both basic units in one system must carry the same documented order number.
- Revision level: Matching hardware revisions keep the paired safety processing on the same unit design.
- DI/DQ link: The failsafe link transfers the defined digital states used by the high-availability arrangement.
- Shared diagnosis: A mismatch or communication fault must be evaluated as a system condition, not only as a local I/O fault.
