Safe convert functions

This group of the IEC-blocks provides standard →functions as an enhancement to the →IEC-standard to convert an elementary →data type (according to the IEC-standard) into an equivalent safe data type. Example: A BOOL value is converted into a SAFEBOOL value.

When using a safe convert block, you must make sure that the input signal to the safe convert block is suitable to be used as safe signal. Neuron Power Engineer does not ensure that a signal status is safe but only highlights safe logic in the FBD-editor so that you are able to differentiate beween safety-relevant and standard signals.
