Warning notice system
This manual contains notices you have to observe in order to ensure your personal safety, as well as to prevent
damage to property. The notices referring to your personal safety are highlighted in the manual by a safety alert
symbol, notices referring only to property damage have no safety alert symbol. These notices shown below are
graded according to the degree of danger.
DANGER
indicates that death or severe personal injury will result if proper precautions are not taken.
WARNING
indicates that death or severe personal injury may result if proper precautions are not taken.
CAUTION
indicates that minor personal injury can result if proper precautions are not taken.
NOTICE
indicates that property damage can result if proper precautions are not taken.
If more than one degree of danger is present, the warning notice representing the highest degree of danger will
be used. A notice warning of injury to persons with a safety alert symbol may also include a warning relating to
property damage.
Qualified Personnel

Passivation of fail-safe outputs over a long period of time
WARNING
Unintentional activation of F-I/O with fail-safe outputs
If an F-I/O with fail-safe outputs is passivated for a period longer than that specified in the
safety parameters (> 100 hours) and the fault remains uncorrected, you need to exclude
the possibility that the F-I/O can be activated unintentionally by a second fault, and thus
place the F-system in a dangerous state.
Even though it is highly unlikely that such hardware faults occur, you must prevent the
unintentional activation of F-I/O with fail-safe outputs by using circuit measures or
organizational measures.
One possibility is the shutdown of the power supply of the passivated F-I/O within a time
period of 100 hours, for example.
The required measures are standardized for plants with product standards.
For all other plants, the plant operator must create a concept for the required measures and
have it approved by the inspector.
Property of the individual shutdown of F-modules with fail-safe outputs:
A channel-specific shutdown occurs when a fault is detected. It is also possible to react to
critical process states staggered over time or to perform safety-related shutdown of
individual outputs.

Switching of loads with ground if the F-module is configured PM-switching
If the following two conditions are met, F-DQ 8x24VDC/2A PPM detects a short-circuit:
●If loads that have a connection between chassis and ground are switched by the
F-DQ 8x24VDC/2A PPM (for example, to improve the EMC properties).
●If chassis and ground are connected at the power supply unit.
From the perspective of the F-module, the M-switch is bridged by the chassis-ground
connection (refer to the diagram below for an example).
Image 3-2 Switching of grounded loads (resistance between chassis and ground)
Remedy:
●Increase the parameters "Max. readback time dark test" and "Max. readback time switch-
on test".
●Increase the value of the resistance between chassis and ground at the load end to more
than 100 kΩ.
Or:
●Use the F-DQ 8x24VDC/2A PPM configured as a PP-switching module.

20 Manual, 01/2016, A5E03858037-AA
4.2
Explanation of parameters
4.2.1
F-parameters
You must assign the PROFIsafe address (F-destination address together with F-source
address) to the F-module before you put it into operation.
●You define the F-source address using the "Basis for PROFIsafe addresses" parameter
in the F-CPU.
●An F-destination address unique throughout the CPU is automatically assigned for each
F-module. You can manually change the F-destination addresses set in the hardware
configuration.
You can find information on F-parameters for the F-monitoring time, the PROFIsafe address
assignment (F-source address, F-destination address) and the F I/O DB in the manual
SIMATIC Safety - Configuring and Programming
(http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/en/54110126).
4.2.1.1
Behavior after channel fault
This parameter is used to specify whether the entire F-module is passivated or just the faulty
channel(s) in the event of channel faults:
●"Passivate the entire module"
●"Passivate channel"
4.2.1.2
Reintegration after channel fault
Use this parameter to select how the channels of the fail-safe module are reintegrated after a
fault.
Use in S7-300/400 F-CPUs
This parameter is always set to "Adjustable" when you use the fail-safe module in
S7-300/400 F-CPUs.
You make the required setting in the F-I/O DB of the fail-safe module.
Use in S7-1500 F-CPUs
When using the fail-safe module in S7-1500 F-CPUs, you set this parameter in the STEP 7
dialog of the fail-safe module:
●"Adjustable"
●"All channels automatically"
●"All channels manually"
If you have set the "Behavior after channel fault" parameter to "Passivate channel", you
enable individual setting of the reintegration type per channel with the parameter assignment
"Adjustable". The reintegration type of the respective channel is specified with the "Channel
failure acknowledge" channel parameter.
If you have set the "Behavior after channel fault" parameter to "Passivate the entire module",
you can only select the same reintegration type for all channels.
