B&R’s Safety+ offers an open approach to programming safety functions. Developers can use data structure with a digital fingerprint to make the source code freely accessible while also meeting the special requirements of functional safety. Three main features include data architecture, flexible choice of language and data type, as well as the use of tools and processes from standard programming. Data is stored in a freely accessible format and every change documented. The source files are stored in an open text-based code repository in formats such as XML or JSON. Each file is given a digital fingerprint that indicates when something changes. Supplemented with detailed metadata, what was changed, when and by whom is completely transparent.
