You do not need additional engineering expertise, because the programming is done in the familiar STEP 7 environment.
To this end, there is a library with pre-prepared, TÜV accepted blocks for safety-related functions. Both engineering tools offer commands, operations and blocks for safety-related programs in the LAD and FBD languages.

Programs created with STEP 7 Distributed Safety can be migrated into the TIA Portal at any time. 2 SIMATIC STEP 7 Professional software in TIA Portal V15.1 or higher 3 SIMIT software V10.0 Update 1 or higher (with dongle or in Demo mode) 4 SIMATIC S7-1500 controller, e.g. Safety-oriented programs can, however, still be generated using STEP 7 and Distributed Safety. STEP 7 Safety is the seamless integration of safety into the TIA Portal. Standardized and integrated identification of safety-related resources simplify the overview. The Safety Administration Editor provides central support for the administration, display and modification of safety related parameters In connection with special signatures for the device parameters, the library concept supports in-house standardization and simplifies the validation of safety-oriented applications
