SAMOS® PLAN6
– License-free software for programming safety controllers
Direct download – no detours
DEVELOP EFFICIENTLY.
VALIDATE SAFELY.
DOCUMENT IN COMPLIANCE.
Whether you are a safety engineer, electrical designer, or HSE manager – samos® PLAN6 supports you exactly where it matters most: in the standards-compliant design and documentation of safety-related control systems.
The functional safety software combines intuitive operation, automatic hardware detection, and diagnostics into an end-to-end safety solution.
Whether inputs and outputs, safety function blocks, or motion functions – all components interconnect seamlessly to form a complete safety system that is fully license-free and ready to use right away.
This enables you to implement safety functions faster, minimize sources of error, and ensure standards-compliant execution.
The Problem
The standards-compliant programming of safety functions is extensive and complex. Safety engineers, electrical designers, and developers must correctly plan safety functions, document them properly, and implement them in accordance with applicable standards — often under time pressure, with numerous interfaces, and an increasing level of risk.
Our Solution
samos® PLAN6 makes safety engineering simple.
The intuitive drag-and-drop safety software supports you throughout design, verification, validation, and documentation.
TÜV-certified function blocks, predefined logic modules, and integrated simulations ensure faster project starts and safer results — with minimal programming effort.
Your Benefit
Maximum safety with minimum effort. With samos® PLAN6, you reduce development time, avoid potential error sources, and accelerate the approval process of safety-related functions.
The license-free software speeds up commissioning and increases machine availability — without compromising compliance or documentation quality.
SAMOS® PLAN6 – YOUR BENEFITS IN SAFETY PROGRAMMING
The six most important features – compact, clear, and ready for your safety projects.
INTUITIVE OPERATION
Automatic hardware detection, drag-and-drop configuration, and a clean user interface make it easy to get started — even without extensive prior knowledge.
🟢 Select features instead of writing complex code.
REAL-TIME SIMULATION
Test instead of trial-and-error: simulate your safety logic offline using fast-forward, slow-motion, or real-time — including signal tracing and logic analysis.
🟢 Detect errors early — without risking real equipment.
TÜV-CERTIFIED FUNCTION BLOCKS
Use an extensive library of certified safety function blocks — e.g. emergency stop, muting, or two-hand control — directly integrated into samos® PLAN6.
🟢 Reduces validation effort and speeds up implementation.
INCLUDES MOTION FUNCTIONS
Safe motion monitoring (SLS, SDI, SSR, etc.) without additional modules: six certified motion blocks for drives and conveyor systems — including support for samos® PRO MOTION.
🟢 Ideal for machines with dynamic processes.
ONE-CLICK DOCUMENTATION
Generate complete safety documentation with just one click: project data, logic view, parts lists, SISTEMA values, and more — directly as a PDF.
🟢 Audit-proof, complete, and PDF-ready.
NO LICENSE, NO BARRIERS
Simply download and start: samos® PLAN6 is fully license-free and ready to use immediately.
🟢 No registration, no costs — maximum engineering freedom.

HOW TO GET STARTED WITH SAMOS® PLAN6
– SAFETY ENGINEERING STEP BY STEP
In this practical walkthrough, we show how to implement typical safety functions such as emergency stop, guard-door monitoring, or removal protection directly using samos® PLAN6.
You will also learn how the software automatically selects the appropriate hardware and how integrated tools for simulation, analysis, and documentation help you validate your safety application efficiently.
In this video you will see:
- Creating a safety project following the V-model
- Graphical creation of safety functions (E-Stop, guard door, access protection)
- Simulation & logic analysis with timing control
- Forcing function for testing without connected sensors
- Automatically generated verification report including SISTEMA data
SAMOS® – FROM SAFETY PROGRAMMING TOOL
TO A FULL INTEGRATED SAFETY SYSTEM
With samos® PLAN6, your safety engineering process begins digitally — and the corresponding hardware turns it into a fully deployable system.
Safety functions must be validated under real operating conditions to ensure reliable performance. That’s why the software is seamlessly integrated with:
- the compact safety controller samos® PRO COMPACT
- the high-performance motion extension samos® PRO MOTION
Together, the intuitive samos® PLAN6 safety software and the samos® PRO safety controller form a scalable and certified safety system.
SAMOS® PRO COMPACT – INTELLIGENT SAFETY IN A COMPACT DESIGN
Compact safety controller with a width of only 45 mm – perfect for safety-related control tasks in machine building.
SAMOS® PRO MOTION – MOTION CONTROL MEETS FUNCTIONAL SAFETY
The certified extension for motion-related safety functions such as SLS, SDI, or SSR — seamlessly integrated into the samos® PLAN6 interface.
Now awarded “Product of the Year 2025” by Plant Engineering (USA).
