The independent association PLCopen, together with its members and external safety related organizations, defined safety related aspects within the IEC 61131-3 development environments. With this, the safety aspects can be supported by a dedicated software tool, which is integrated into the software development tools. As such it combines the logic and motion application development with the related safety aspects. This combination helps developers to integrate safety related functionality into their systems, even from the beginning of the development cycle. Also, it contributes to the understanding of safety aspects, as well as reducing the certification time and costs by relevant organizations
