Frequently Asked Questions
What is the main difference from a standard CPU?
This CPU is designed and certified for Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS) up to SIL3. It runs dedicated safety logic alongside standard control.
What software is required to program it?
You need Unity Pro XL Safety software to configure the safety functions and standard control logic.
Can I use it in a hot standby system?
Yes, the 140CPU65160S can be configured in a hot standby pair for high-availability applications, but local I/O is not allowed in that setup.
What is a key planning consideration?
Carefully calculate the total bus current requirement of all modules in the rack. This CPU requires 2760 mA, limiting the number of additional modules.
How do I choose this processor?
Choose the 140CPU65160S if you have a critical process requiring SIL2 or SIL3 safety certification and need a powerful Quantum processor.
