Security information 1
Siemens provides products and solutions with industrial security functions that support the
secure operation of plants, systems, machines, and networks.
In order to protect plants, systems, machines and networks against cyber threats, it is
necessary to implement – and continuously maintain – a holistic, state-of-the-art industrial
security concept. Siemens’ products and solutions constitute one element of such a concept.
Customers are responsible for preventing unauthorized access to their plants, systems,
machines and networks. Such systems, machines and components should only be connected
to an enterprise network or the internet if and to the extent such a connection is necessary
and only when appropriate security measures (e.g. firewalls and/or network segmentation) are
in place.
For additional information on industrial security measures that may be implemented, please
visit:
https://www.siemens.com/industrialsecurity
Siemens’ products and solutions undergo continuous development to make them more secure.
Siemens strongly recommends that product updates are applied as soon as they are available
and that the latest product versions are used. Use of product versions that are no longer
supported, and failure to apply the latest updates may increase customer’s exposure to cyber
threats.

Information on configuration and operation 3
● The blocks in the library have been designed exclusively for S7-400 automation systems.
● ET 200iS, ET 200X and DP field devices cannot be operated on an H system downstream
from a Y link with PCS 7 standard blocks.
● An ET 200S (IM 151-1 High Feature) and a diagnostics repeater can be supported
downstream from a Y-link only as a DP V0 slave, this must however be configured as DPV1.
● You are not permitted to set the minimum cycle time of OB1 to a value other than "0".
With the CPU 410 PA SMART, the minimum scan cycle time of OB1 is permanently set to
200ms.
● One-sided distributed I/Os are not supported in PCS 7.
● The adjustable options "Status of supply voltage L+" and "Status of feedback voltage" are
not supported for ET 200SP server modules. If these options are not selected, a diagnostics
module is created for the server module. If these options are selected, a warning is issued
when compiling with the module driver generation and no diagnostics module is installed.
The functionality of these options cannot be used with channel blocks.
● Value status is only supported for ET 200SP HA modules.
● The user-defined data types (UDT) of 1 to 50 and 200 to 299 are reserved for PCS 7
