2.3 What are fail-safe automation systems and fail-safe modules?
2.3 What are fail-safe automation systems and fail-safe modules?
Fail-safe automation systems

Fail-safe automation systems (F-systems) are used in systems with higher safety
requirements. F-systems control processes and ensure that they are in a safe state
immediately after shutdown. In other words, F-systems control processes in which an
immediate shutdown does not endanger persons or the environment.
Safety Integrated
Safety Integrated is the integrated safety concept for automation and drive technology from
Siemens.
Proven technologies and systems from automation technology, such as the S7-1500
automation system described here, are used for safety engineering. Safety Integrated
includes the complete safety sequence, ranging from sensor, actuator and fail-safe modules
right through to the controller, including safety-related communication via standard
fieldbuses. Drives and controllers handle safety tasks in addition to their actual functions.
Fail-safe m odules
Fail-safe modules (F-modules) differ from non-fail-safe modules in that they internally
monitor themselves and their sensor and actuator lines for faults and enter the safe state
when faults are detected.
The F-CPU communicates with a fail-safe module via the safety-related PROFIsafe bus
profile.
Application area of S7-1500/ET 200MP with fail-safe I/O modules

By using S7-1500 automation systems / ET 200MP distributed I/O systems with fail-safe
I/O modules, you replace the conventional safety engineering technical setup. This includes
replacing, for example, switching devices for emergency stop, protective door monitors,
two-hand operation, etc.

ET 200MP and PROFINET IO.
Fail-safe I/O modules and non-fail-safe I/O modules can be combined in an
S7-1500/ET 200MP configuration.
The fail-safe IO controller (F-CPU) exchanges safety-related data with fail-safe modules. It
does not exchange safety-related data with non-fail-safe modules.

Fail-safe I/O modules S7-1500/ET 200MP

The following fail-safe I/O modules are available for S7-1500/ET 200MP:
Fail-safe digital input modules detect the signal states of safety-related sensors and send
the relevant safety frames to the F-CPU.
Fail-safe digital output modules are used to control actuators for safety-oriented tasks.

3.1 Hardware configuration
Introduction
The S7-1500 automation system/ET 200MP distributed I/O system consists of a single-row
configuration in which all modules are installed on one mounting rail. The modules are
connected by means of U connectors, and thus form a self-assembling backplane bus.
You can configure the S7-1500 automation system/ET 200MP distributed I/O system with
fail-safe and non-fail-safe modules.
3.1.1 Hardware configuration of the S7-1500 automation system
M aximum configuration
The integrated system power supply of the CPU supplies 10 W or 12 W (depending on
CPU type) to the backplane bus. The power budget calculation determines the exact
number of modules (without optional PS) that can be operated with the CPU. The
operating principle is described in section Power balance calculation (Page 45).
A maximum of three system power supplies (PS) is possible: one can be inserted to the
left of the CPU and two can be inserted to the right of the CPU.
If you insert a system power supply (PS) to the left of the CPU, this yields a possible
maximum configuration of a total of 32 modules, which occupy slots 0 to 31. If system
power supplies (PS) are needed to the right of the CPU, they each occupy one slot.

3.1.2 Hardware configuration of the ET 200MP distributed I/O system with

PROFINET interface module
The integrated system power supply of the interface module feeds 14 W into the
backplane bus. The power budget calculation determines the exact number of I/O
modules that can be operated with the interface module (without optional PS). The
operating principle is described in section Power balance calculation (Page 45).
A maximum of three system power supplies (PS) is possible: one can be inserted to the

If you insert a system power supply (PS) to the left of the interface module, this yields a
possible maximum configuration of a total of 32 modules (up to 30 modules to the right of
the interface module). If system power supplies (PS) are needed to the right of the
interface module, they each occupy one slot.

3.2 System and load power supply
Types of power supplies

The S7-1500 automation system/ET 200MP distributed I/O system distinguishes between
two types of power supply:
System power supply (PS)
Load current supply (PM)
System power supply (PS)

The system power supply has a connection to the backplane bus (U connector) and supplies
solely the internally required system voltage. This system voltage supplies parts of the
module electronics and the LEDs. A system power supply can also supply CPUs or interface
modules if these are not connected to a 24 VDC load current supply.
Load current supply (PM)

The load current supply feeds the input/output circuits of the modules, as well as the sensors
and actuators of the plant, if installed. The supply of the CPU/interface module with 24 V DC
is optional if you supply the voltage for the backplane bus via a system power supply.
Special characteristic of the load current supply

Load current supplies are mounted on the "S7-1500 mounting rail" and do not have a
connection to the backplane bus.
Total configuration with power supplies
Figure 3-4 Total configuration with load current supply (PM) and system power supply (PS)

Optionally, you can insert up to two system power supplies (PS) in the slots to the right of the
CPU/interface module.
The number of load current supplies is unlimited.

Automation system
3.2.1 Use of system power supplies
Introduction
If the power fed from the CPU/interface module into the backplane bus is not sufficient to
supply all connected modules with power, system power supplies (PS) are required.
Whether or not you need a system power supply depends on the power consumption of the
modules used. The power supplied by the CPU/interface module and the system power
supplies must be greater than the power required by the I/O modules.
During configuration, STEP 7 compares the supplied power and the power required by the
modules. If the required power is too high, you receive a corresponding message from
STEP 7.
Slots for system power supplies

The following slots may be used for system power supplies:
A system power supply in slot 0 to the left of the CPU/interface module
Up to 2 system power supplies in the slots to the right of the CPU/interface module
(power segments) A power segment consists of a power supply module and the modules

If you are using system power supplies to the right of the CPU/interface module, divide the
configuration into power segments.

If you use the TIA Portal for configuring, it automatically checks the configuration for
consistency and informs you as of which module you must open up a new power segment.
Automation system
Reference
Information about the required power is available in the section Power balance calculation
(Page 45).
Additional information on the performance values (power feed, power consumption) of the
CPU, interface module, system power supply, and I/O modules can be found in the manuals
(http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/en/57251228) of the respective modules.
3.2.2 Special considerations for the use of a system power supply in the first power
segment
Infeed options
There are three options for the infeed of the required system voltage in the backplane bus:
Infeed via CPU/interface module
Infeed via CPU/interface module and system power supply
Infeed only via system power supply in slot 0
Infeed via CPU/interface m odule

Infeed via the CPU/interface module generally suffices for small and medium hardware
configurations. The power consumption of the connected modules must not exceed the
power supplied by the CPU/interface module.
In this configuration variant, supply the CPU/interface module with 24 V DC from a load
current supply.
Procedure
To set up the supply by means of the CPU/interface module, follow these steps:
1. Open the "Properties" tab of the CPU/interface module in STEP 7 and select the "System
power supply" in the navigation.
2. Select the option "Connection to supply voltage L+".
Figure 3-6 Supply voltage via CPU/interface module only
Automation system
Infeed via CPU/interface m odule and system power supply

For larger hardware configurations, infeed into the backplane bus by the CPU/interface
module alone no longer suffices. If the modules consume more power in total than the power
supplied by the CPU/interface module, you must insert an additional system power supply.
Supply the system power supply with the permissible supply voltage and the CPU/interface
module with 24 V DC.
Both the system power supply and the CPU/interface module feed current into the backplane
bus. The supplied power is summed.
Power addition: "Infeed power of the system power supply" + "Infeed power of the
CPU/interface module"
Procedure
To set up the supply by means of the CPU/interface module and system power supply,
follow these steps:
2. Select the option "Connection to supply voltage L+".
Figure 3-7 Supply voltage via the CPU/interface module and system power supply
Infeed via system power supply only

As a further possibility you can supply the required power to the backplane bus using only a
system power supply (in slot 0). In this case, the CPU/interface module is not supplied with
24 V DC, and draws its supply from the backplane bus. The system power supply must be
inserted to the left of the CPU/interface module for this.
In general, you can use system power supplies with AC or DC infeed for the configuration.
If no supply voltage with 24 V DC is present (and e.g. only CMs/CPs are inserted next to the
CPU), you can use a system power supply with 230 V AC because the CMs/CPs are
supplied via the backplane bus.
Automation system
Procedure
To set up infeed only via the system power supply, follow these steps:
2. Select the option "No connection to supply voltage L+".

3.3 Use of load power supplies
3.3 Use of load power supplies
Introduction
The system power supply (PS), central modules (CPU), interface module and input and
output circuits of the I/O modules are supplied with 24 V DC by the load current supply (PM).
Load current supplies can be mounted on the mounting rail but do not have a connection to
the backplane bus.
Observe the installation rules and specified installation distances in the manuals of the load
current supplies.
Use of m ultiple load current supplies

Several load current supplies (PM) can be used as follows for higher output currents:
Every load current supply feeds independent 24 V DC load lines.
Alternatively you can use an external 24 V power supply, e.g. from the SITOP line.

Automation system
3.4 Power balance calculation
Principle of power balance calculation

In order to ensure that modules are supplied from the backplane bus, the fed-in power is
compared with the power required by the modules. The power balance calculation checks
whether the power provided by the system power supplies including CPU/interface module is
greater than or equal to the power used by the consumers (modules).
In order to operate the configuration with its used modules, the power balance must be
positive for each power segment in use.
This means that the power fed into the power segment is greater than the power consumed
by the modules.
Take care even during planning, that the power fed into the backplane bus is always greater
than or equivalent to the power drawn. The TIA Selection Tool
(http://w3.siemens.com/mcms/topics/en/simatic/tia-selection-tool) aids you during planning.
The power fed into the backplane bus by the CPU/interface module and system power
supply is listed in the technical specifications of the CPU/interface module in the
corresponding manuals.
The power consumed from the backplane bus by an I/O module or the CPU/interface module
can be found in the technical specifications in the corresponding manuals.
The power balance calculation is performed:
When configuring with STEP 7
During operation by the CPU
Automation system
Power balance calculation when configuring with STEP 7

STEP 7 checks compliance with the power balance during the configuration.
Proceed as follows to evaluate the power balance calculation:
1. Perform the configuration of the S7-1500/ET 200MP with all the required modules.
2. In the network view, select the CPU/interface module or the system power supply.
3. Open the "Properties" tab in the inspector window.
4. Select the "System power supply" entry in the area navigation.
5. Check the "Power segment overview" table, so see whether the power balance is
positive. If the power balance is negative, the underpowered modules will be marked in
red.
Figure 3-10 Example of a power balance calculation with STEP 7
Power balance calculation check for overload by the CPU/interface m odule

Compliance with a positive power balance is monitored by the CPU/interface module:
At every POWER ON
At every change of the installed hardware
Causes for overload

An overload can still occur despite a positive power balance during planning. The cause for
overload can be a hardware configuration that does not correspond to the configuration in
STEP 7, for example:
More I/O modules are inserted in the actual configuration than were planned
A supply voltage L+ (24 V DC) that is necessary for operation is not connected when
system voltage infeed via the CPU/interface module is specified during parameter
assignment (see section Special considerations for the use of a system power supply in
the first power segment (Page 41))
A system power supply that is necessary for operation is not inserted
A system power supply that is necessary for operation is not switched on (power
connection plug or on/off switch)
A system power supply that is necessary for operation has no U connector inserted
Automation system
Response of the CPU to negative power balance or failure of system power supplies
As soon as a negative power balance/overload is detected by the CPU in a power segment,
the following actions are executed:
CPU stores the retentive data
CPU enters the event in the diagnostics buffer
CPU carries out a restart and repeats this until the cause of the negative power balance
is resolved
Response of the interface m odule to negative power balance or failure of system power supplies
As a result of the overload, the interface module switches off all power segments. The I/O
controller or DP master can no longer access the I/O modules. The interface module
provides diagnostic information and periodically checks the connection to the backplane bus
and re-establishes it.
Exception: In the case of a voltage drop or a hardware fault in power segment 2 or 3, the
corresponding system power supply module switches off its power segment (and possibly
the following segments), and generates a diagnostic alarm, if possible.
More information on the behavior of the system power supply (PS) in the event of a fault can
be found in the manuals for the system power supplies.

4.1 Basics
Introduction
All modules of the S7-1500 automation system/ET 200MP distributed I/O system are open
equipment. This means that you may only install this system in housings, cabinets or
electrical operating rooms. The housings, cabinets and electrical operating rooms must
guarantee protection against electric shock and spread of fire. The requirements regarding
mechanical strength must also be observed. The housings, cabinets, and electrical operating
rooms must not be accessible without a key or tool. Access may only be possible for
instructed or authorized personnel.
Installation position
The S7-1500 automation system/ET 200MP distributed I/O system can be used in a
horizontal installation for ambient temperatures up to 60 C and in vertical installation for
ambient temperatures up to 40 C. Additional information can be found in the section
Mechanical and climatic ambient conditions (Page 242).
M ounting rail
In addition to the S7-1500/ET 200MP modules, other components can be mounted on the
mounting rail; for example, modules from the S7-1200 and ET 200SP portfolio, terminals,
circuit breakers, small contactors or similar components.
These components can influence the installation dimensions for the cable duct.
Modules can be mounted up to the outer edge of the mounting rail (marginless assembly).
The mounting rails are available in various lengths. You can order the mounting rails using

5.1 Rules and regulations for operation
Introduction
When installing the S7-1500 automation system/ ET 200MP distributed I/O system as part of
a plant or system, special rules and regulations need to be adhered to depending on the
area of application.
This section provides an overview of the most important rules that must be observed for the
integration of the S7-1500 automation system/ ET 200MP distributed I/O system in a plant or
system.
Specific application
Please observe the safety and accident prevention regulations applying to specific
applications (e.g., machine protection guidelines).
EM ERGENCY-STOP devices
EMERGENCY OFF equipment to IEC 60204 (corresponds to DIN VDE 0113) must remain
effective in all operating modes of the plant or system.
Excluding hazardous plant states

Hazardous operating states must not occur when:
The plant starts up again after a voltage dip or voltage failure.
The bus communication is resumed after a fault.
If necessary, EMERGENCY-STOP must be forced.
An uncontrolled or undefined startup is not permitted after the EMERGENCY STOP is
unlocked.
Automation system
Wiring
5.1 Rules and regulations for operation
Line voltage
Below, everything you need to consider in terms of line voltage is described (refer to section
Information on insulation tests, protection class, degree of protection and rated voltage
(Page 244)):
For fixed plants or systems without multipole circuit breaker, a mains disconnection
device (multipole) must be available in the building installation.
For load current supplies, the configured rated voltage range must correspond to the local
line voltage.
For all power circuits of the S7-1500 automation system/ET 200MP distributed I/O
system, the fluctuation/deviation of the line voltage from the rated value must be within
the permitted tolerance.
24 V DC supply
The following describes what you must pay attention to in terms of the 24 V DC supply:
Power supply units for the 24 V DC supply must have a safe galvanic isolation in
accordance with IEC 60364-4-41.
To protect the S7-1500 automation system/ET 200MP distributed I/O system from
lightning and overvoltages, use overvoltage arresters.
Suitable components for the lightning and overvoltage protection are specified in the
Defining interference-free controllers
(http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/en/59193566) function manual.
Protection against electrical shock

The mounting rail of the S7-1500 automation system/ET 200MP distributed I/O system has
to be connected conductively with the protective conductor as protection against electric
shock.
Protection against external electrical influences

The following describes what you must pay attention to in terms of protection against
electrical influences and/or faults:
Make sure that the system for discharging electromagnetic interference is connected to a
protective conductor with sufficient diameter for all plants with an S7-1500 automation
system/ ET 200MP distributed I/O system.
For supply, signal and bus lines, you must ensure that the laying of the lines and the
installation is correct.
For signal and bus lines, you must ensure that a wire/cable breakage or a cross-wire
does not lead to undefined states of the plant or system.

5.2 Additional rules and regulations for operation of the S7-1500/ET 200MP with fail-safe modules
5.2 Additional rules and regulations for operation of the

S7-1500/ET 200MP with fail-safe modules
5.2.1 Safe functional extra-low voltage (SELV) for fail-safe modules
WA RNING
The fail-safe modules must be operated with safe functional extra low voltage (SELV,
PELV).
You can find more information on safe functional extra-low voltage in the data sheets, for
example, of the applicable power supplies.
The fail-safe modules operate at a rated voltage of24 V DC. The tolerance range is
19.2 V DC to 28.8 V DC.
Within the overvoltage range from 32 V DC to 36 V DC, the F-modules react in a fail-safe
manner and the inputs and outputs are passivated. For overvoltages greater than 36 V DC,
the F-modules are permanently de-energized and can be damaged.
Use a power supply unit that does not exceed Um = 36 V DC even in the event of a fault.
For more on this, refer to the information in the data sheet on overvoltage protection in the
case of an internal error. Or implement appropriate measures to limit the voltage, e.g., use
of a surge protection device.
All system components that can supply electrical energy in any form whatsoever must fulfill
this condition.
Each additional circuit (24 V DC) used in the system must have a safe functional extra low
voltage (SELV, PELV). Refer to the relevant data sheets or contact the manufacturer.
Sensors and actuators with an external power supply can also be connected to F-modules.
Make sure that power is supplied to these components from safe functional extra-low
voltage as well. The process signal of a 24 V DC digital module may not exceed a fault
voltage Um in the event of a fault.
WA RNING
Even when a fault occurs, the permissible potential difference between the supply of the
interface module (bus voltage) and the load voltage must not be exceeded.
An external direct electrical connection is one way to meet this requirement. This also
prevents potential differences from causing voltage additions at the individual voltage
sources, which could cause the fault voltage Um to be exceeded.
Automation system
Wiring
Power supply requirements in case of voltage interruptions
Not e
Always use power packs or power supply units (24 VDC) with a mains buffering time of at
least 20 ms to ensure adherence to IEC 61131-2.
Also take into consideration the respective requirements of your product standards regarding
mains buffering time.
Information on the power supply components is available on the Internet
(https://mall.industry.siemens.com).
5.2.2 Requirements of sensors and actuators for fail-safe modules
General requirements for sensors and actuators

Note the following important warning regarding safety-related use of sensors and actuators:
WA RNING
Note that instrumentation with sensors and actuators bears a considerable s afety
res ponsibility. Also bear in mind that sensors and actuators generally do not have a service
life of 20 years as defined in IEC 61508:2010 without considerable loss of safety.
The probability of hazardous faults and the rate of hazardous faults of safety functions must
comply with an SIL-defined high limit. A listing of values achieved by F-modules in the
technical specifications of the F-modules is available under "Fail-safe performance
characteristics".
To achieve the respective safety class, suitably qualified sensors and actuators are
necessary.
Additional sensor requirements

General rule: A single-channel sensor is sufficient to achieve SIL3/Cat.3/PLd. However, to
achieve SIL3/Cat.3/PLd with a single-channel sensor, the sensor itself must be
SIL3/Cat.3/PLd-capable; otherwise, the sensor must be connected via two channels to
achieve this safety level.
Automation system
Wiring
To achieve Cat.4, sensors must be connected via two channels.
WA RNING
In the case of fail-safe input modules, a "0" value is output to the F-CPU after detection of
faults. You therefore need to make sure that the sensors are implemented in such a way as
to ensure the reliable reaction of the safety program when the sensor is in the "0" state.
Example: In its safety program, an EMERGENCY-STOP sensor must achieve the
shutdown of the respective actuator when it is in the "0" state (EMERGENCY-STOP button
pressed).
Duration requirements for sensor signals
WA RNING
Observe the following requirements for sensor signals:

In order to ensure the correct detection of the sensor signals via fail-safe modules with
inputs, you need to make sure that the sensor signals are output for a minimum
duration.
In order for pulses to be detected with certainty, the time between two signal changes
(pulse duration) must be greater than the PROFIsafe monitoring time.
S af e detection of inputs through F-modules

The minimum duration of sensor signals for F-modules with inputs depends on the
configured input delay, the parameters of the short circuit test of the sensor supplies, and the
configured discrepancy behavior for 1oo2 evaluation. The duration of the signal must be
greater than the maximum response time of the configured application. Information on
calculating the maximum response time can be found in section "Response times" of the
respective F-module.
The maximum permitted switching frequency of the sensor signals results from the minimum
duration.
Additional requirements for actuators

The fail-safe output modules test the outputs at regular intervals. The F-module briefly
switches off the activated outputs and, if necessary, switches on the deactivated outputs.
You can assign the maximum duration of the test pulses (dark and light period) with
parameters.
Automation system
Wiring
High-speed actuators may briefly drop out or be activated during this test. If your process
does not tolerate this, set the pulse duration of the light or dark test correspondingly or use
actuators that have sufficient lag.
WA RNING
If the actuators switch voltages greater than 24 V DC (for example, 230 V DC), safe
electrical isolation must be ensured between the outputs of a fail-safe output module and
the components carrying a higher voltage (in accordance with EN 60664-1:2010).
This is generally the case for relays and contactors. Particular attention must be paid to this
issue for semiconductor switching devices.
Technical specifications of sensors and actuators

Refer to the manuals of the fail-safe modules for technical specifications to assist you in
selecting sensors and actuators.
5.2.3 Capacitive crosstalk of digital input/output signals

Readback errors may occur on the F-DQ modules if the fail-safe digital output signals and
fail-safe digital input signals are routed through a single cable.
Caus e: Capacitive c rosstalk
During the bit pattern test of the outputs or the sensor supply of the inputs, the steep
switching edge of the output drivers caused by the coupling capacitance of the line may
result in crosstalk to other non-activated output or input channels. This may then lead to a
response of the readback circuit in these channels. The module detects a cross circuit/short
circuit and performs a safety-related shutdown.
Remedy:
Separate cables for F-DI modules, F-DQ modules or non-fail-safe DQ modules
Coupling relay or diodes in the outputs
Disable the short-circuit test of the sensor supply if safety class requirements allow it.
Caus e: magnetic c rosstalk
Note that an inductive load connected to the F-DQ channels can induce capacitive coupling
of a strong magnetic field.
S olution:
Spatially disconnect the inductive loads or shield against the magnetic field.
Configure the "Max. readback time dark test" to 50 ms or higher.

5.3 Operation on grounded infeed
Introduction
Information is provided below on the overall configuration of an S7-1500 automation
system/ET 200MP distributed I/O system on a grounded infeed (TN-S system). The specific
subjects discussed are:
Disconnecting devices, short-circuit and overload protection to IEC 60364 (corresponding
to DIN VDE 0100) and IEC 60204 (corresponding to DIN VDE 0113)
Load current supplies and load circuits
Grounded infeed
In the case of grounding incoming supplies (TN-S system) the neutral conductor (N) and the
protective conductor (PE) are each grounded. Both conductors form a part of the overvoltage
concept. When a plant is in operation, the current flows across the neutral conductor. When
a fault occurs, for example a single ground fault between a live conductor and ground, the
current flows through the protective conductor.
Safe galvanic isolation (SELV/PELV in accordance with IEC 60364-4-41)

Load current supplies/system power supplies with 24 V DC supply require safe electrical
separation. This protection is designated as SELV (Safety Extra Low Voltage)/PELV
(Protective Extra Low Voltage) in accordance with IEC 60364-4-41.
The wiring of SELV/PELV circuits must be separated from the wiring of other circuits that are
not SELV/PELV, or the insulation of all conductors must be rated for the higher voltage.
Reference potential of the controller

The reference potential of the S7-1500 automation system/ ET 200MP distributed I/O system
is connected with the mounting rail through a high-resistance RC combination in the
CPU/interface module. In this way, high-frequency interference currents are conducted and
electrostatic charges are avoided. Despite the grounded mounting rail, the reference
potential of the S7-1500 automation system/ET 200MP distributed I/O system has to be
considered as ungrounded due to the high-resistance connection.
If you want to configure the S7-1500 automation system/ET 200MP distributed I/O system
with grounded reference potential, connect the M connection of the CPU/interface module
galvanically with the protective conductor.
You can find a simplified representation of the potential relationships in section Electrical
configuration (Page 72).

Short-circuit and overload protection

Various measures as protection against short-circuits and overloads are required for setting
up a full installation. The nature of the components and the degree to which the required
measures are binding depends on the IEC (DIN VDE) regulation applicable to your plant
configuration. The table refers to the following figure and compares the IEC (DIN VDE)

5.6 Connecting the supply voltage
5.6 Connecting the supply voltage
Introduction
The supply voltage of the CPU/interface module is supplied by means of a 4-pole connection
plug, which is located on the front of the CPU.
Connection for supply voltage (X80)

The connections of the 4-pole connector have the following meaning:
+ 24 V DC of the supply voltage

Mass of the supply voltage
Mass of the supply voltage for looping (current limited to 10 A)
+ 24 V DC of the supply voltage for looping (current limited to 10 A)
Spring opener (one spring opener per terminal)
Figure 5-5 Connection for supply voltage
The maximum connector cross-section is 1.5 mm2. The cable connector offers you the option
of looping the supply voltage uninterrupted, even when it is unplugged.
Requirements
Only wire the cable connector when the supply voltage is turned off.
Observe the Wiring rules (Page 75).
Tools required
3 to 3.5 mm screwdriver

Uninstalling the connection plug

To uninstall the connection plug, you need a screwdriver. With the screwdriver, pry the
connection plug out of the CPU/interface module.
Introduction
In the delivery condition of the system power supplies/load current supplies, power
connectors are inserted. The modules and the associated power connectors are coded. The
coding is effected by means of two coding elements - one coding element is located in the
module, and the other in the power connector. The system power supplies/load current
supplies use identical power connectors for the voltage connection.
The coding element prevents the insertion of a power connector into a different type of
system power supply/load current supply.

5.10 Front connector for the I/O modules
Introduction
The sensors and actuators of your plant are connected to the automation system by means
of front connectors. Wire the sensors and actuators to the front connector and then plug it
into the I/O module. You can either wire the front connector in the "pre-wiring position" that
makes convenient wiring possible, or completely, before you insert it into the I/O module.
You can remove the front connector easily from the I/O module with the wiring attached. This
means it is not necessary to loosen the wiring when you replace the module.

Properties of the front connectors

The three different front connectors are characterized as follows:
40 clamping points each
Connection system: Screw terminal (for 35 mm modules only) or push-in terminal
Module width: 35 mm or 25 mm
If you want to supply load groups with the same potential (non-isolated), use the potential
bridges supplied for the front connector (with 35 mm width) for digital I/O modules. In four
locations: 9 and 29, 10 and 30, 19 and 39, 20 and 40, the terminals can be bridged by
means of potential bridges. Advantage: Reduction of the wiring effort.
Not e
Us e of potential bridges
The use of potential bridges depends on the relevant module used.
Potential bridges must not be used for 230 V modules. Use the potential bridges only with
a maximum supply voltage of 24 V DC. The current capacity per potential bridge is 8 A
maximum.
Owing to the different assignment for analog I/O modules, potential bridges must not be
used.
The front connectors for 25 mm modules have no potential bridges.
Observe the instructions and wiring rules in the product manual of the respective I/O
module when using potential bridges.
In the delivery state a coding element is located in the module. When the front connector
is first inserted into the I/O module, a part of the coding element clips onto the front
connector. When the front connector is removed from the I/O module, one part of the
coding element remains in the front connector, and the other part remains in the I/O
module. The insertion of a front connector that is not suited to the module is thereby
mechanically prevented. This ensures, for example, that the front connector with the
coding element of a digital module cannot be inserted into an analog module.
Properties of the front connectors on fail-safe modules

In as-delivered condition, a fail-safe module not only has a mechanical coding element but
also an electronic rewritable memory for the PROFIsafe address. This is the electronic
coding element.
When the front connector is inserted in the F-module, the electronic coding element latches
fully into place in the front connector. If you remove the front connector from the F-module,
the memory with the PROFIsafe address of the fail-safe module remains in the front
connector (see section Replacing a front connector (Page 209)).
Reference
You can find additional information on the coding element in the section Coding element on
the I/O module and on the front connector (Page 204).
Additional information on the use of the potential bridges can be found in the product manual
for the respective I/O module.

Use of the potential bridges on 35 mm digital modules

With the delivered potential bridges, for digital modules with a maximum rated voltage of
24 V DC, you can bridge the terminals for the voltage supply and thus reduce the wiring
effort. The bridges are used to connect the following pairs of opposing terminals: 9 and 29,
10 and 30, 19 and 39 as well as 20 and 40.

Configuring 6
Introduction
By configuring the individual hardware components, assigning their parameters, and
connecting them, you communicate to the S7-1500 automation system/ET 200MP
distributed I/O system its preset configuration and operating principle. You perform the work
needed for this in the device and network views in STEP 7.
"Conf iguring" is understood to mean the arranging, setup and networking of devices and
modules within the device view or network view of STEP 7. STEP 7 graphically represents
modules and racks. Just like "real" module racks, the device view allows the insertion of a
defined number of modules.
When the modules are inserted, STEP 7 automatically assigns the addresses and a unique
hardware identifier (HW identifier). You can change the addresses later. The HW identifiers
cannot be changed.
At startup, the system components compare the configured preset configuration with the
actual configuration of the system. By means of parameter assignment, you can specify the
response of the CPU to errors in the hardware configuration.
"A s signing parameters" is understood to mean setting the properties of the components
used (CPU, modules).
The hardware configuration (result of "configuring" and "assigning parameters") is compiled
and downloaded to the CPU. The CPU then connects to the configured components and
transfers their configuration and parameters. Modules can be replaced very easily because
when a new module is inserted, its configuration and parameters are transferred again.

6.1.1 Reading out the configuration
Introduction
When a connection exists to a physically present CPU, you can load the configuration of this
CPU (including centrally present modules) from the device into your project using the
"Hardware detection" function. You do not need to manually configure the CPU and the
centrally present modules, as the physical configuration is read out automatically.
If a CPU and the centrally present modules have already been configured and you want to
load the current configuration and parameters in a new project, it is advisable to use the
"Upload device as new station" function. For additional information about this function, refer
to section Backing up and restoring the CPU configuration (Page 179).
Procedure for reading out an existing configuration

6.1.2 Address assignment
6.1.2.1 Addressing - overview
Introduction
In order to address the automation components or I/O modules, unique addresses must be
assigned to them. The various address areas are explained below.
I/O address
I/O addresses (input/output addresses) are required in the user program to read inputs and
set outputs.
STEP 7 automatically assigns input and output addresses when modules are configured.
Each module uses a continuous range of input and/or output addresses corresponding to its
volume of input and output data.
Figure 6-5 Example with input / output addresses from STEP 7
The address areas of the modules are assigned by default to the process image partition 0
("Automatic updating"). This process image partition is updated in the main cycle of the CPU.
Device address (e.g., Ethernet address)

Device addresses are addresses of modules with interfaces to a subnet (e.g., IP address or
PROFIBUS address). They are required in order to address the various devices on a subnet,
e.g., in order to download a user program.
Automation system
Configuring
Hardware identifier
STEP 7 automatically assigns a hardware identifier (HW identifier) for identification and
addressing of modules and submodules. The HW identifier is used, for example, for
diagnostics alarms or for instructions, to identify the faulty module or the addressed module.

The "System constants" tab contains all hardware identifiers and their symbolic names (of
HW identifier) for the selected module.

6.1.2.2 Addressing digital modules
Introduction
The addressing of digital modules is described below. In your user program, you require the
addresses of the channels of the digital module.
Digital module addresses

The address of a digital module's input or output is composed of the byte address and the bit
address. The channels of the digital module are assigned bit addresses.
Example: I 1. 2
The example consists of:
I Input -
1 Byte address The byte address depends on the module start address
2 Bit address You read the bit address from the module
When you insert a digital module into a free slot, STEP 7 assigns a default address. You can
change the proposed default address in STEP 7.
Automation system

Example for the assignment of channel addresses (digital module)

Value status
The value status is additional binary information of a digital input or output signal. It is
entered simultaneously with the process signal in the process image input and provides
information about the validity of the input or output signal.
If you enable the value status for a digital module, then additional bytes are allocated in the
input address area. Each bit in the value status is assigned to a channel and provides
information about the validity of the process value. You can find the assignment in the
product manual for the respective I/O module.
The value status is influenced by all diagnostics that might falsify the process value, e.g. wire
break, short-circuit.
1B: A valid process value is being output or read for the channel.
0B: A substitute value is being output for the channel, or the channel is deactivated, faulty
or inaccessible.
You can find additional information on evaluation and processing of the value status for fail-
safe digital modules in the SIMATIC Safety Configuring and Programming

6.1.2.3 Addressing analog modules
Introduction
The addressing of analog modules is described below. In your user program, you require the
addresses of the channels of the analog module.
Analog module addresses

The address of an analog channel is always a word address. The channel address depends
on the module start address. The channel addresses are automatically assigned during
configuration in STEP 7. Based on the module start addresses, the assignment of the
channel addresses occurs in increasing sequence (in the following figure, the module start
address is 256).
When you insert an analog module into a free slot, STEP 7 assigns a default address. You
can change the assigned default address in STEP 7.

Example for the assignment of channel addresses (analog module)

The following figure shows how the addresses of the individual channels of the analog input

6.1.3 Process images and process image partitions
6.1.3.1 Process image - overview
Process image of the inputs and outputs

When the user program addresses the input (I) and output (O) operand areas, it does not
query the signal states directly from the I/O modules. Instead, it accesses a memory area of
the CPU. This memory area contains an image of the signal states and is called the process
image.
Advantages of the process image

A process image allows you to access a consistent image of process signals during cyclic
program execution. If a signal state at an input module changes during program processing,
the signal state is retained in the process image. The process image is not updated until the
next cycle.
Automation system
Configuring
Consistency of the process image

When the process image is updated, the S7-1500 accesses the data of each submodule as
consistent data. The maximum data width that is accessed as consistent data for each
submodule is dependent on the IO system. For PROFINET IO, for example, this data width
is 1024 bytes.
32 process image partitions

By means of process image partitions, the CPU synchronizes the updated inputs/outputs of
particular modules with defined user program sections.
In the S7-1500 automation system, the overall process image is subdivided into up to 32
process image partitions (PIP).
PIP 0 (automatic update) is automatically updated in each program cycle and is assigned to
OB 1.
Process image partitions PIP 1 through PIP 31 can be assigned to the other OBs. In
STEP 7, this assignment occurs during configuration of the I/O modules.
After the OB has been started, the assigned process image partition of inputs is updated by
the system and the process signals are read in. At the end of the OB the outputs of the
assigned process image partition are written directly to the peripheral outputs by the system
without having to wait for the termination of the cyclic program processing.
6.1.3.2 Assign process image partitions to an OB
Update process image partition

You can assign a process image partition to an OB. In this case, the process image partition
is automatically updated.
The process image partition of the inputs (PIPI) is always read in/updated before the
processing of the associated OB. The process image partition of the outputs (PIPQ) is
always output at the end of the OB.
The following figure illustrates the updating of a process image partition.
Figure 6-10 Update process image partitions
Automation system
Configuring
6.1.3.3 Update process image partitions in the user program
Requirements
As an alternative to the automatic updating and to updating by assignment to an OB, you
can use the instruction "UPDAT_PI" or the instruction "UPDAT_PO" at the start or the at the
end of the respectively assigned OB to update the process image. In STEP 7, these
instructions are available on the "Instructions" Task Card under "Extended instructions" and
may be called from any point in the program.
Requirements for updating process image partitions with the "UPDAT_PI" and "UPDAT_PO"
instructions:
The process image partitions cannot be assigned to any OB, i.e. they cannot be
automatically updated.
PIP 0 (automatic update) can likewise not be updated with the "UPDAT_PI" and
"UPDAT_PO" instructions.
UPDAT_PI: Update process image partition of the inputs

With this instruction you read the signal states from the input modules into the process
image partition of the inputs (PIPI).
UPDAT_PO: Update process image partition of the outputs

With this instruction you transmit the process image partition of the outputs to the output
modules.
Isochronous mode interrupt OBs

In the isochronous mode interrupt OBs you use the instructions "SYNC_PI" and "SYNC_PO"
to update the process image partitions. Additional information on isochronous mode interrupt
OBs is available in the STEP 7 online help.
Direct I/O access to the inputs and outputs of the module

You also have direct read and write access to the I/O, as an alternative to access via the
process image, should direct access be required for programming reasons. A direct (write)
I/O access also writes the process image. This prevents the situation where a subsequent
output of the process image overwrites the value written via direct access again.

whether you have configured OB80.
4) You can find additional information about these event sources and the runtime behavior in the S7-1500 Motion Control
function manual.
Assignment between event source and OBs

The type of OB determines where you make the assignment between OB and event source:
With hardware interrupts and isochronous mode interrupts, the assignment is made
during the configuration of the hardware or when the OB is created.
For MC servo, MC pre-servo, MC post-servo and MC interpolator, STEP 7 automatically
assigns OBs 91/92 as soon as a technology object is added.
For all other types of OB, the assignment is made when the OB is created, where
applicable after you have configured the event source.
For hardware interrupts, you can change an assignment which has already been made
during runtime with the instructions ATTACH and DETACH. In this case, only the actually
effective assignment changes, and not the configured assignment. The configured
assignment takes effect after loading, and upon each startup.
The CPU ignores hardware interrupts to which you did not assign an OB in your
configuration or which occur after the DETACH instruction. The check as to whether an OB
is assigned to an event does not take place when the associated event occurs, but only
when the hardware interrupt actually has to be executed.
Automation system
7.1 Events and OBs
OB priority and runtime behavior

If you have assigned an OB to the event, the OB has the priority of the event. S7-1500 CPUs
support the priority classes 1 (lowest) to 26 (highest). The following items are essential to the
execution of an event:
Call and execution of the assigned OB
The update of the process image partition of the assigned OB
The user program processes the OBs exclusively on a priority basis. This means the
program processes the OB with the highest priority first when multiple OB requests occur at
the same time. If an event occurs that has a higher priority than the currently active OB, this
OB is interrupted. The user program processes events of the same priority in order of
occurrence.
Not e
Communication
The communication (e.g. test functions with the PG) always works with priority 15. To
prevent extending the program runtime unnecessarily in time-critical applications, these OBs
should not be interrupted by communication. Assign a priority > 15 for these OBs.
Reference
Additional information on organization blocks is available in the STEP 7 online help.
Automation system
7.2 CPU overload behavior
7.2 CPU overload behavior
Requirements
For the event scenarios considered in the following section, it is assumed that you have
assigned an OB to each event source and that these OBs have the same priority. The
second condition, in particular, is only for the sake of a simplified representation.
Principle of CPU overload behavior

An occurring event triggers the execution of the associated OB. Depending on the OB
priority and the current processor load, a time delay may occur before the OB is executed
when there is an overload. The same event can therefore occur once or several times before
the user program processes the OB belonging to the preceding event. The CPU treats such
a situation as follows: The operating system queues the events in the queue associated with
their priority in the order of their occurrence.
To control temporary overload situations, you can limit the number of queued events that
originate from the same source. The next event is discarded as soon as the maximum
number of pending triggers of a specific cyclic interrupt OB, for example, is reached.
An overload occurs when events which originate from the same source occur faster than
they can be processed by the CPU.
More detailed information is provided in the following sections.
Discarding similar events or fetching them later

Below, the term "similar events" refers to events from a single source, such as triggers for a
specific cyclic interrupt OB.
The OB parameter "Events to be queued" is used to specify how many similar events the
operating system places in the associated queue and therefore post-processes. If this
parameter has the value 1, for example, exactly one event is stored temporarily.
Not e
Post-processing of cyclic events is often not desirable, as this can lead to an overload with
OBs of the same or lower priority. Therefore, it is generally advantageous to discard similar
events and to react to the overload situation during the next scheduled OB processing. If the
value of the "Events to be queued" parameter is low, this ensures that an overload situation
is mitigated rather than aggravated.
If the maximum number of triggers is reached in the queue for a cyclic interrupt OB (Cyclic
interrupt), for example, each additional trigger is only counted and subsequently discarded.
During the next scheduled execution of the OB, the CPU provides the number of discarded
triggers in the "Event_Count" input parameter (in the start information). You can then react
appropriately to the overload situation. The CPU then sets the counter for lost events to zero.
If the CPU, for example, first discards a trigger for a cyclic interrupt OB, its further behavior
depends on the OB parameter "Report event overflow into diagnostic buffer": If the check
box is selected, the CPU enters the event DW#16#0002:3507 once in the diagnostics buffer
for the overload situation at this event source. The CPU suppresses additional diagnostics
buffer entries of the event DW#16#0002:3507 until all events from this source have been
post-processed.
Automation system
7.3 Asynchronous instructions
Threshold m echanism for time error OB request

The OB parameter "Enable time error" is used to specify whether the time error OB is to be
called at a defined overload for similar events. You can find the OB parameter "Enable time
error" in the properties of the OB in the "Attributes" category.
When you enable the time error OB (check box selected), use the OB parameter "Event
threshold for time error" to specify the number of similar events in the queue as of which the
time error OB is called. If this parameter has the value 1, for example, the CPU enters the
event DW#16#0002:3502 once in the diagnostics buffer and requests the time error OB
when the second event occurs. The CPU suppresses additional diagnostics buffer entries of
the event DW#16#0002:3502 until all events from this source have been post-processed.
In the event of an overload, you therefore have the option of programming a reaction well
before the limit is reached for similar events and thus before the events are discarded.
The following value range applies to the "Event threshold for time error" parameter:
1 "Event threshold for time error" "Events to be queued".
Difference between synchronous and asynchronous instructions

During program execution a distinction is made between synchronous and asynchronous
instructions.
The "synchronous" and "asynchronous" properties relate to the temporal relationship
between the call and execution of the instruction.
The following applies to synchronous instructions: When the call of a synchronous instruction
is complete, execution of the instruction is also complete.
This is different in the case of asynchronous instructions: When the call of an asynchronous
instruction is complete, execution of the asynchronous instruction is not necessarily
complete yet. This means the execution of an asynchronous instruction can extend over
multiple calls. The CPU processes asynchronous instructions in parallel with the cyclic user
program. Asynchronous instructions generate jobs in the CPU for their processing.
Asynchronous instructions are usually instructions for transferring data (data records for
modules, communication data, diagnostic data, etc.).
Automation system
Processing of asynchronous instructions

The figure below shows the difference between the processing of an asynchronous
instruction and a synchronous instruction. In this figure the asynchronous instruction is called
five times before its execution is complete, e.g. a data record has been completely
transferred.
First call of the asynchronous instruction, start of execution

Intermediate call of the asynchronous instruction, execution continues
Last call of the asynchronous instruction, completion of execution
The synchronous instruction is completely executed at each call
Duration of complete execution
Figure 7-1 Difference between asynchronous and synchronous instructions
Parallel processing of asynchronous instruction jobs

A CPU can process several asynchronous instruction jobs in parallel. The CPU processes
the jobs in parallel under the following conditions:
Several asynchronous instruction jobs are called at the same time.
The maximum number of simultaneously running jobs for the instruction is not exceeded.
The figure below shows the parallel processing of two jobs of the WRREC instruction. The
two instructions are executed simultaneously for a certain duration.
Figure 7-2 Parallel processing of the asynchronous instruction WRREC
Automation system
Assignment of call to job of the instruction

To execute an instruction over multiple calls, the CPU must be able to uniquely relate a
subsequent call to a running job of the instruction.
To relate a call to a job, the CPU uses one of the following two mechanisms, depending on
the type of the instruction:
Using the instance data block of the instruction (for "SFB" type)
Using job-identifying input parameters of the instruction. These input parameters must
match in each call during processing of the asynchronous instruction.
Example: A job of the "Create_DB" instruction is identified by input parameters
LOW_LIMIT, UP_LIMIT, COUNT, ATTRIB and SRCBLK.
The following table shows which input parameters you use to identify which instruction.

Automation system
Status of an asynchronous instruction

An asynchronous instruction shows its status via the block parameters STATUS/RET_VAL
and BUSY. Many asynchronous instructions also use the block parameters DONE and
ERROR.
The figure below shows the two asynchronous instructions WRREC and CREATE_DB.
The input parameter REQ starts the job to execute the asynchronous instruction.
The output parameter DONE indicates that the job was completed without error.
The output parameter BUSY indicates whether the job is currently being executed. When
BUSY =1, a resource is allocated for the asynchronous instruction. When BUSY = 0, the re-
source is free.
The output parameter ERROR indicates that an error has occurred.
The output parameter STATUS/RET_VAL provides information on the status of the job execu-
tion. The output parameter STATUS/RET_VAL receives the error information after the occur-
rence of an error.
Figure 7-3 Block parameters of asynchronous instructions using the instructions WRREC and
CREATE_DB as examples.
Summary
The table below provides you with an overview of the relationships described above. It
shows in particular the possible values of the output parameters if execution of the
instruction is not complete after a call.

Use of resources
Asynchronous instructions use resources in the CPU during their execution. The resources
are limited depending on the type of CPU and instruction; the CPU can simultaneously
process only a maximum number of asynchronous instruction jobs. The resources are
available again after a job has been processed successfully or with errors.
Example: For the RDREC instruction, an S7-1500 CPU can process up to 20 jobs in parallel.
If the maximum number of simultaneously running jobs for an instruction is exceeded, the
instruction returns error code 80C3 (lack of resources) in the STATUS block parameter. The
execution of the job is stopped until a resource becomes free again.
Not e
Lower-level asynchronous instructions
Some asynchronous instructions use one or more lower-level asynchronous instructions for
their processing. This dependence is shown in the tables below.
Please note that with multiple lower-level instructions, only one lower-level resource is
typically allocated at a time.

8.1 Overview of the protection functions
Introduction
This chapter describes the following functions for protecting the S7-1500 automation
system/ET 200MP distributed I/O system against unauthorized access:
Pro tection functions S7 -1 5 0 0 ET 2 0 0 MP

Access protection ---
Know-how protection ---
Copy protection ---
Protection by locking the CPU/interface module
Further m easures for protecting the CPU

The following measures additionally increase the protection against unauthorized access to
functions and data of the S7-1500 CPU from external sources and via the network:
Deactivation of the Web server
Deactivation of the OPC UA server (you can find additional information on the security
mechanisms for OPC UA server in the Communication
(https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/de/de/view/59192925/en) Function Manual)
Deactivation of the time synchronization via an NTP Server
Deactivation of the PUT/GET communication
When you use Web server, protect your S7-1500 automation system against unauthorized
access:
By setting password-protected access rights for specific users in the user administration.
By using the pre-set option "Permit access only via HTTPS".
The option allows access to the web server only with the secure hypertext transmission
protocol HTTPS.
Automation system
Protection
8.2 Configuring access protection for the CPU
Introduction
The CPU offers four access levels to limit access to specific functions.
By setting up the access levels and the passwords for a CPU, you limit the functions and
memory areas that are accessible without entering a password. The individual access levels
as well as their associated passwords are specified in the object properties of the CPU.
Access levels of the CPU
Table 8- 1 Access levels and access restrictions
Access levels Access restrictions

Complete ac- The hardware configuration and the blocks can be read and changed by all users.
cess (no protec-
tion)
Read access With this access level, read-only access to the hardware configuration and the
blocks is possible without entering a password, which means you can download
hardware configuration and blocks to the programming device. In addition, HMI
access and access to diagnostics data is possible.
Without entering the password, you cannot load any blocks or hardware configura-
tion into the CPU. Additionally, the following are n o t possible without the pass-
word: Writing test functions and firmware update (online).
HMI access With this access level only HMI access and access to diagnostics data is possible
without entering the password.
Without entering the password, you can neither load blocks and hardware configu-
ration into the CPU, nor load blocks and hardware configuration from the CPU into
the programming device.
Additionally, the following are n o t possible without the password: Test functions,
changing the operating mode (RUN/STOP), firmware update and display of
online/offline comparison status.
No access When the CPU has complete protection, no read or write access to the hardware
(complete pro- configuration and the blocks is possible (without access authorization in the form
tection) of a password). HMI access is also not possible. The server function for PUT/GET
communication is disabled in this access level (cannot be changed).
Authentication with the password will again provide you full access to the CPU.
A list of which functions are available in the different access levels is available in the "Setting
options for the protection" entry in the STEP 7 online help.
Automation system
Protection
Properties of the access levels

Each access level allows unrestricted access to certain functions without entering a
password, e.g. identification using the "Accessible devices" function.
The CPU's default setting is "No restriction" and "No password protection". In order to protect
access to a CPU, you must edit the properties of the CPU and set up a password. In the
default access level "Full access (no protection)" every user can read and change the
hardware configuration and the blocks. A password is not set and is also not required for
online access.
Communication between the CPUs (via the communication functions in the blocks) is not
restricted by the access level of the CPU, unless PUT/GET communication is deactivated in
the "No access" (complete protection) access level.
Entry of the right password allows access to all the functions that are allowed in the
corresponding level.
Not e
Conf iguring an access level does not replace know-how protection
Configuring access levels offers a high degree of protection against unauthorized changes
on the CPU by restricting the rights to download the hardware and software configuration to
the CPU. However, blocks on the SIMATIC memory card are not write- or read-protected.
Use know-how protection to protect the code of blocks on the SIMATIC memory card.
Behavior of functions with different access levels

The STEP 7 online help includes a table which lists the online functions that are available in
the different access levels.
Automation system
Protection
Parameterizing the procedure at access levels

To configure the access levels of an S7-1500 CPU, follow these steps:
1. Open the properties of the S7-1500 CPU in the Inspector window.
2. Open the "Protection" entry in the area navigation.
A table with the possible access levels appears in the Inspector window.
Figure 8-1 Possible access levels
3. Activate the desired protection level in the first column of the table. The green check
marks in the columns to the right of the respective access level show you which
operations are still available without entering the password. In the example (see above),
read access and HMI access is still possible without a password.
4. In the "Enter password" column, specify a password for the access level "Full access" in
the first row. In the "Confirm password" column, enter the selected password again to
guard against incorrect entries.
Ensure that the password is sufficiently secure, in other words, that is does not follow a
pattern that can be recognized by a machine!
5. Assign additional passwords to other access levels as needed, if the selected access
level calls for this.
6. Download the hardware configuration for the access level to take effect.
The CPU logs the entry of the correct or incorrect password and any changes in the
configuration of the access levels by a corresponding entry in the diagnostics buffer.
Automation system
Protection
Behavior of a password-protected CPU during operation

The CPU protection takes effect after the settings are downloaded in the CPU.
Before an online function is executed, the necessary permission is checked and, if
necessary, the user is prompted to enter a password. The functions protected by a password
can only be executed by one programming device/PC at any one time. Another programming
device/PC cannot log on.
Access authorization to the protected data is in effect for the duration of the online
connection, or until the access authorization is manually rescinded with "Online > Delete
access rights".
Access to a password-protected CPU in the RUN mode can be limited locally in the display
so that access with a password is also not possible.
Access level for F-CPUs

For the fail-safe CPUs, there is an additional access level in addition to the four described
access levels. For additional information on this access level, refer to the description of the
fail-safe system SIMATIC Safety Programming and Operating Manual SIMATIC Safety -

Automation system
Protection
8.3 Using the display to set additional access protection
8.3 Using the display to set additional access protection
Blocking access to a password-protected CPU

On the display of an S7-1500 CPU, you can block access to a password-protected CPU
(local lock). The access lock is only in effect, when the mode selector is in the RUN position.
The access block requires a configured protection level in STEP 7. The access block is
effective regardless of the password protection. This means that even if someone accesses
the CPU via a connected programming device and has entered the correct password,
access to the CPU remains disabled.
The access block can be set separately for each access level on the display, so that, for
example, read access is allowed locally, but write access is not allowed locally.
Procedure
If an access level with a password is configured in STEP 7, access can be blocked using the
display.
Proceed as follows to set the local access protection for an S7-1500 CPU on the display:
1. On the display, select Settings > Protection menu.
2. Confirm the selection using "OK", and configure for each access level, whether access at
the RUN mode selector is allowed or not:
Allow: Access to the CPU is possible with the corresponding password in STEP 7.
Disabled in RUN: When the mode selector is in the RUN position, no more users with
privileges for this access level can log in to the CPU, even if they know the password. In
STOP mode, access is possible with password entry.
Access protection for the display

A password can be configured for the display in STEP 7 in the properties of the CPU so that
the local access protection is protected by a local password.
8.4 Using the user program to set additional access protection
Access protection by means of the user program

In addition to restricting access to the display, you can also restrict access to a password-
protected CPU in STEP 7 using the instruction ENDIS_PW. You can find a description of this
block in the online help under the keyword "ENDIS_PW: Limit and enable password
legitimation".
Automation system
Protection
8.5 Know-how protection
Application
You can use know-how protection to protect one or more blocks of the OB, FB, FC type and
global data blocks in your program from unauthorized access. You can enter a password to
restrict access to a block. The password offers high-level protection against unauthorized
reading or manipulation of the block.
Readable data
If a block is know-how protected, only the following data is readable without the correct
password:
Block title, comments and block properties
Block parameters (INPUT, OUTPUT, IN, OUT, RETURN)
Call structure of the program
Global tags without information on the point of use
Further actions
Further actions that can be carried out with a know-how protected block:
Copying and deleting
Calling within a program
Online/offline comparison
Load
Global data blocks and array data blocks

You cannot provide global data blocks (global DBs) with know-how protection. Users who do
not possess the valid password can read the global data block but not change it.
You cannot provide array data blocks (array DBs) with know-how protection.
Automation system
Protection
Setting up block know-how protection

To set up block know-how protection, follow these steps:
1. Open the properties of the respective block.
2. Select the "Protection" option under "General".
Figure 8-2 Setting up block know-how protection (1)
3. Click the "Protection" button to display the "Know-how protection" dialog.
4. Click the "Define" button to open the "Define password" dialog.
5. Enter the new password in the "New password" field. Enter the same password in the
"Confirm password" field.
6. Click "OK" to confirm your entry.
7. Close the "Know-how protection" dialog by clicking "OK".
Result: The blocks selected will be know-how-protected. Know-how protected blocks are
marked with a lock symbol in the project tree. The password entered applies to all blocks
selected.
Automation system
Protection
Opening know-how protected blocks

To open a know-how protected block, follow these steps:
1. Double-click the block to open the "Access protection" dialog.
2. Enter the password for the know-how protected block.
Result: The know-how-protected blockopens.
Once you have opened the block, you can edit the program code and the block interface of
the block for as long as the block or STEP 7 is open. The password must be entered again
the next time the block is opened. If you close the "Access protection" dialog with "Cancel",
the block will open but the block code will not be displayed and you will not be able to edit
the block.
If you copy the block or add it to a library, for example, this does not cancel the know-how
protection of the block. The copies will also be know-how-protected.
Removing block know-how protection

To remove block know-how protection, follow these steps:
1. Select the block from which you want to remove know-how protection. The protected
block must not be open in the program editor.
2. In the "Edit" menu, select the "Know-how protection" command to open the "Know-how
protection" dialog.
3. Clear the "Hide code (Know-how protection)" check box.

8.6 Copy protection
8.6 Copy protection
Application
The copy protection allows you to protect your program against unauthorized duplication.
With copy protection you associate the blocks with a specific SIMATIC memory card or CPU.
Through the association with the serial number of a SIMATIC memory card or CPU, the use
of this program or block is only possible in combination with a specific SIMATIC memory
card or CPU.
Copy and know-how protection

Recommendation: To prevent an unauthorized reset of the copy protection, provide a copy-
protected block with additional know-how protection. First set up the copy protection for the
block and after this the know-how protection.
Setting up copy protection

To set up copy protection, follow these steps:
Figure 8-7 Setting up copy protection (1)
3. In the "Copy protection" area, select either the "Bind to serial number of the CPU" entry or
the "Bind to serial number of the memory card" entry from the drop-down list.
Figure 8-8 Setting up copy protection (2)
Automation system
Protection
8.6 Copy protection
4. Activate the option "Serial number is inserted when downloading to a device or a memory
card" if the serial number is to be inserted automatically during the uploading process
(dynamic binding). Assign a password using the "Define password" button to link the use
of a block additionally to the input of a password.
Activate the "Enter serial number" option if you want to manually bind the serial number of
the CPU or the SIMATIC memory card to a block (static binding).
5. You can now set up the know-how protection for the block in the "Know-how protection"
area.
Not e
If you download a copy protected block to a device that does not match the specified
serial number, the entire download operation will be rejected. This means that blocks
without copy protection will also not be downloaded.

9.1 Standard machine projects
Introduction
Standard machine projects are STEP 7 projects that use a set of innovative functions
allowing simple configuration and commissioning of flexible automation solutions for
standard machines or for machines with a modular structure.
A hardware configuration consisting of an S7-1500 CPU as the IO controller and any
connected IO devices represents a "PROFINET IO system master". This master is
configured with a maximum configuration based on which various options can be derived for
different standard machines, for example with different configuration variants of the IO
system.
Greater flexibility at all levels

Standard machine projects have the following central characteristics:
From one project (IO system master) with an engineered maximum configuration,
different variants of a standard machine can be loaded (IO system options). The standard
machine project covers all variants (options) of the IO system.
An IO system option can be integrated in an existing network locally using simple tools.
Flexibility is provided in more ways than one:
With suitable configuration, adaptation of the IP address parameters of the IO controller is
possible locally using simple tools. This allows a standard machine to be integrated in
different plants with little effort or to be included in a network several times.
IO systems with this property are known as multiple use IO systems.
With suitable configuration and programming, different setups of IO system options can
be operated locally that differ in terms of the selection of IO devices used or in terms of
the arrangement of the IO devices.
Since the specific configuration of the IO system is controlled by the user program, this is
known as c onfiguration control f or IO s ystems.
Independently of the functions described above, with suitable configuration and
programming, you can use different station options of central devices or distributed
I/O devices in one project. The devices can be different in terms of the selection and
arrangement of the modules.
Since the concrete configuration of the station is controlled by the user program, this is
also known as c onfiguration control.

Flexible automation concepts
9.2 Configuration control (option handling)
Introduction
With configuration control (option handling), you handle various standard machine
configuration levels in one project without having to change the hardware configuration or
user program.
Operating principle of configuration control

Configuration control enables you to operate different configuration levels of a standard
machine with a single configuration of the S7-1500 automation system/ET 200MP distributed
I/O system.
A station master (maximum configuration) is configured in a project. The station master
comprises all modules needed for all possible equipment components of a modular
standard machine.
Provision is made in the user program of the project for various station options for the
different configuration levels of the standard machine and for selection of a station option.
A station option uses, for example, only some of the modules of the station master and
these modules are not inserted in the configured order.
Manufacturers of standard machines select a station option for a configuration level of the
standard machine. They do not have change the project or download the modified
configuration.
You use a control data record you have programmed to notify the CPU/interface module as
to which modules are missing or located on different slots in a station option as compared to
the station master. The configuration control has no effect on the parameter assignment of
the modules.
The configuration control allows you to flexibly vary the centralized/distributed configuration.
As a precondition for this, the station option must be able to be derived from the station
master.
Automation system
The following figure shows three configuration levels of a standard machine with the
corresponding station options of the S7-1500 automation system.
Figure 9-1 Various configuration levels of a standard machine with the corresponding station
options of the S7-1500 automation system
Benefits
Easy project handling and commissioning through use of a single STEP 7 project for all
station options.
Easy handling during maintenance, versioning and upgrades.
Hardware savings: Only the I/O modules needed for the current station option of the
machine are installed.
Potential savings when building, commissioning and creating documentation for standard
machines.

Block library "OH_S71x00_Library"

The block library OH_S71x00_Library
(https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/view/29430270) is available for download
from the Internet. The block library contains data types with the structure of the control data
records for the S7-1500/ET 200MP. You can implement your flexible automation solution
economically with the help of these data types.
9.2.1 Configuring
Requirements
With the S7-1500, configuration control is possible both with centrally inserted modules and
with the ET 200MP distributed I/O system via PROFINET IO.
For S 7-1500 automation system:
STEP 7 Professional as of Version V13
CPU S7-15XX as of firmware version V1.5
The startup parameter "Comparison preset to actual configuration" is set to "Startup CPU
even if mismatch" (default setting).
You can find the "Comparison preset to actual configuration" parameter in the Inspector
window of the CPU properties under "General">"Startup".
For E T 200MP distributed I/O system:
STEP 7 Professional as of Version V13
IM 155-5 PN ST/HF
You have assigned the interface module to an IO controller/DP master in STEP 7
The startup parameter "Comparison preset to actual module" is set to "Startup CPU even
if mismatch" (default setting).
You can find the "Comparison preset to actual module" parameter in the Inspector
window of the interface module properties in the "Startup" field under "General">"Module
parameters".
Automation system
Required steps
Enable the "Allow to reconfigure the device via the user program" parameter when
configuring the CPU/interface module.
For an S7-1500 CPU, you can find the "Allow to reconfigure the device via the user
program" parameter in the "Configuration control" area.
For an IM 155-5 PN interface module, you can find the "Allow to reconfigure the device
via the user program" parameter in the "Configuration control" field under
"General">"Module parameters".

9.2.2 Creating the control data record
Required steps
To create a control data record for the configuration control, follow these steps:
1. Create a PLC data type that contains the structure of the control data record.
You can find the structure of the control data record:
for the S7-1500 automation system in section Control data record for the S7-1500
Automation System (Page 150).
for the ET 200MP distributed I/O system in Control data record for the ET 200MP
distributed I/O system (Page 151).
Figure 9-3 Creating control data record 196 using an S7-1500 CPU as an example
2. Create a global data block.
Automation system
3. Create an array of the data type of the above created PLC data type in the data block.
The following figure shows a data block containing three control data records for an S7-
1500 CPU.
Figure 9-4 Data block for configuration control
4. In the "Start value" column of the control data records, enter which module is located at
which slot.
Figure 9-5 Assigning slots
Automation system
Rules
Observe the following rules:
Slot entries in the control data record outside the station master are ignored by the
CPU/interface module.
The control data record must contain the entries up to the last slot of the station option.
Each slot of a station option may only be present once in the control data record.
Each slot of a station option may only be assigned to one slot in the station master.
System power supplies (PS) can also be subject to configuration control.
Not e
Conf iguration c ontrol f or system power supplies
In the case of a configuration (station option) loaded using a data record, STEP 7 does
not automatically check compliance with the power budget.
Ensure that the power supplied in each power segment of the station option is greater
than or equal to the power drawn.
You can find additional information in the section Power balance calculation (Page 45).
Using communication m odules

Point-to-point communication modules:
Point-to-point communication modules can be used without any restrictions for the
configuration control.
PROFINET/Ethernet and PROFIBUS communication modules:
CPUs as of firmware version V1.7 support configuration control when using
PROFINET/Ethernet or PROFIBUS communication modules. If PROFINET/Ethernet or
PROFIBUS communication modules, such as a CM 1542-5 (DP master or DP slave) are
inserted in the central configuration, these communication modules cannot be influenced
by the configuration control. You must therefore leave these modules in the slots
preassigned in the station master and enter the slot numbers from the station master in
the control data record ("Station option slot = Station master slot"). In a station option, all
slots up to the communication module furthest from the CPU must be present in the
control data record. Maximum flexibility is achieved by inserting the communication
modules directly to the right of the CPU.

9.2.2.3 Feedback data record of the ET 200MP distributed I/O system
Operating principle
The feedback data record informs you about the accuracy of the module assignment and
gives you the option of detecting assignment errors in the control data record. The feedback
data record is mapped via a separate data record 197 V2.0.
Slot assignment
The feedback data record exists only when configuration control is configured and always
refers to the maximum quantity framework wit hout interface module, i.e., 31 slots.
The following table shows the slot assignment of the modules:
0 System power supply (optional) Upstream from interface module
2 - 31 I/O modules/system power supplies, depending Downstream from the interface module

Automation system
Not e
The data in the feedback data record is always mapped for all modules. In a Shared Device
configuration, it is therefore irrelevant which IO controller the respective modules are
assigned to.
As long as no control data record was sent, a one-to-one module assignment is assumed for
the compilation of data record 197 (station master station option).
Error messages
In the case of an error when reading the feedback data record, the RDREC instruction
returns the following error messages via the STATUS block parameter:
Table 9- 8 Error messages
Error code Me aning

80B1H Invalid length; the length information in data record 197 is not correct.

9.2.2.4 Examples of configuration control

A station master consisting of a system power supply, CPU, and three I/O modules is
configured in STEP 7 in the following section.
The module at slot 3 is not present in the station option 1 and is "hidden" by the configuration
control.
In station option 2, the order of the modules in slots 3 and 4 is interchanged. The modified
order of the modules is made known to the CPU by a modified control data record.
Automation system
Station option 1 with m odule that is not present

The module that is located in slot 3 in the station master is not present in the station option 1.
Slot 3 must be designated in the control data record accordingly with 255 (= not present).
Module is not present in the station option 1.

Detailed application example

You can find a detailed application example for the configuration control in S7-1500 in here
(https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/view/29430270) under " Application example
for ET 200SP (PROFINET) and S7-1500 by using the library".
9.2.3 Transferring the control data record in the startup program of the CPU
Required steps
Transfer the created control data record 196 to the CPU/interface module using the WRREC
(Write data record) instruction.
Parameters of the WRREC instruction

Below, you will find explanations of individual parameters of the WRREC instruction which
you must supply with specific values in the configuration control context. You can find
additional information on the WRREC instruction in the STEP 7 online help.
ID Hardware identifier
For configuration control for centrally arranged modules, use the HW identifier for
the CPU.
If you have selected the CPU in the network view or device view, you can find the
HW identifier on the System constants tab of the Inspector window.
Use the value of the system constant "Local Configuration".
For configuration control for distributed I/O, use the HW identifier of the interface
module.
If you have selected the interface module in the network view or device view, you
can find the HW identifier on the System constants tab of the Inspector window.
Use the value of the system constant "<Name_of_interface_module> Head".
INDEX Data record number: 196 (decimal)
RECORD Control data record to be transferred.
For the structure of the control data record, see section Creating the control data rec-
ord (Page 147).
Automation system
Error messages
In case of error, the WRREC instruction returns the following error messages via the
STATUS block parameter:
Table 9- 9 Error messages
Error code Me aning

80B1H Invalid length; the length information in data record 196 is not correct.
80B5H Configuration control parameters not assigned.
80E2H Data record was transferred in the wrong OB context. The data record must be
transferred in the startup program.
80B8H Parameter error
Reasons for a parameter error are:
Incorrect block ID in the header (not equal to 196)
Invalid version identifier in the header
A reserved bit was set
A station master slot was assigned an invalid slot in the station option
Multiple slots in the station master are assigned to the same slot in the sta-
tion option
For shared device on submodule level: violation of defined restrictions
Automation system
Special requirements relating to the transfer of the control data record to the CPU
If you have enabled configuration control, the CPU is not ready for operation without a
control data record. The CPU returns from startup to STOP if a valid control data record is
not transferred in the startup OB (for example, OB 100). The central I/O is not initialized
in this case. The cause for STOP mode is entered in the diagnostics buffer.
Not e
If an incorrect control data record is transferred to the CPU in the startup OB, the startup
of the CPU may be prevented.
In this case, perform a reset to factory settings of the CPU and then transfer a correct
control data record.
The CPU processes the WRREC instruction for transferring the control data record
asynchronously. For this reason, you must call WRREC in the startup OB (for example,
OB 100) repeatedly in a loop until the output parameters "BUSY" and "DONE" indicate
that the data record has been transferred.
Tip: To program the loop, use the SCL programming language with the REPEAT ...
UNTIL instruction.
REPEAT
"WRREC_DB"(REQ := "start_config_control",
ID := "Local Configuration",
INDEX := 196,
LEN := "conf_LEN",
DONE => "conf_DONE",
BUSY => "conf_BUSY",
RECORD := "ConfDB".ConfigControl["ConfDB".Option],
//Selection of control data record*
ERROR => "conf_ERROR",
STATUS => "conf_STATUS");
UNTIL NOT "conf_BUSY"
END_REPEAT;
*Selection of the station option in the user program: In order for the CPU to know
which station option you want to operate, you must set up a possibility to select
between the various control data records in the user program. You can implement the
selection, for example, via an Int tag that references an array element. Note that the
tag for selecting the control data record must be located in the retentive memory area.
If the tag is not retentive, it will be initialized during startup of the CPU and will thus be
unavailable for selection of the station option.
In the graphical programming languages, you implement the loop using instructions for
program control.
Automation system
Example in FBD: Use the LABEL (jump label) and JMP (jump at RLO=1) instructions
to program a loop.
Figure 9-8 WRREC
The control data record is stored retentively in the CPU. Note:

The retentivity of the control data record is independent of the retentivity settings in the
STEP 7 memory area. This means that the memory area in which the control data
record is configured does not have to be configured as retentive for this purpose.
If you write a control data record with modified configuration, the original data record
196 is deleted and the new data record 196 is saved retentively. The CPU will then
restart with the modified configuration.
Automation system
Special requirements relating to the transfer of the control data record to the interface module
If you have enabled configuration control, the ET 200MP station is not ready for operation
without a control data record. As long as no valid control data record has been
transferred, the I/O modules are considered as failed by the CPU and exhibit substitute
value behavior. The interface module continues to exchange data.
The control data record is stored retentively in the interface module. Note:
If the configuration is unchanged, you do not have to rewrite the control data
record 196 during restart.
If you write a control data record with modified configuration, this will result in a station
failure in the distributed I/O system. The original data record 196 is deleted and the
new data record 196 is saved retentively. The station will then restart with the modified
configuration.
9.2.4 Behavior during operation
Effect of discrepancy between station m aster and station option

For the online display and for the display in the diagnostics buffer (module OK or module
faulty), the station master is always used and not the differing station option.
Example: A module outputs diagnostics data. This module is configured in slot 4 in the
station master, but is inserted in slot 3 in the station option (missing module; see example in
the next section). The online view (station master) shows an incorrect module in slot 4. In the
real configuration, the module in slot 3 indicates an error via an LED display.
Response to m odules that are not present

If modules are entered as not present in the control data record, the automation system
behaves as follows:
Modules designated as not present in the control data record do not supply diagnostics
and their status is always OK. The value status is OK.
Direct writing access to the outputs that are not present or writing access to the process
image of outputs that are not present: Remains without effect; no access error is
signaled.
Direct reading access to the inputs that are not present or reading access to the process
image of inputs that are not present: Value "0" is supplied; no access error is signaled.
Write data record to module that is not present: Remains without effect; no error is
signaled.
Read data record from module that is not present: The output parameter STATUS of the
instruction RDREC supplies the value 80A3H "General CM error".

previously stored data before using the SIMATIC memory card. Additional information about
deleting the contents of the SIMATIC memory card can be found in the section SIMATIC
memory card - overview (Page 187).
In order to work with the SIMATIC memory card, first ensure that the SIMATIC memory card
is not write-protected. For this purpose, slide the slider on the SIMATIC memory card out of
the lock position.
If the inserted SIMATIC memory card is write-protected, the CPU display outputs the
symbol in the "Memory card" menu under "Overview" and writes a corresponding alarm to
the lower level of the menu.

Inserting the SIMATIC m emory card

To insert a SIMATIC memory card, follow these steps:
1. Open the front cover of the CPU.
2. Ensure that the CPU is either switched off, or in the STOP mode.
3. Insert the SIMATIC memory card, as depicted on the CPU, into the slot for the SIMATIC
memory card.
Figure 10-1 Slot for the SIMATIC memory card
4. Insert the SIMATIC memory card with light pressure into the CPU, until the SIMATIC
memory card latches.
Removing the SIMATIC m emory card

To remove a SIMATIC memory card, follow these steps:
2. Switch the CPU into STOP mode.
3. Press the SIMATIC memory card into the CPU with light pressure. After audible
unlatching of the SIMATIC memory card, remove it.
Only remove the SIMATIC memory card in POWER OFF or STOP mode of the CPU. Ensure
that no writing functions (online functions with the programming device, e.g. loading/deleting
a block, test functions) are active in STOP mode or were active before POWER OFF.
If you remove the SIMATIC memory card during a write process, the following problems can
occur:
The data content of a file is incomplete.
The file is no longer readable, or no longer exists.
The entire content of the card is corrupted.

Reactions after removing/inserting the SIMATIC memory card

Inserting and removing the SIMATIC memory card in STOP mode triggers a re-evaluation of
the SIMATIC memory card. The CPU hereby compares the content of the configuration on
the SIMATIC memory card with the backed-up retentive data. If the backed-up retentive data
matches the data of the configuration on the SIMATIC memory card, the retentive data is
retained. If the data differs, the CPU automatically performs a memory reset (which means
the retentive data is deleted) and then goes to STOP.
The CPU evaluates the SIMATIC memory card and indicates this by flashing the RUN/STOP
LED.

10.5 Operating modes of the CPU
Introduction
Operating modes describe the states of the CPU. The following operating states are possible
via the mode selector:
STARTUP
RUN
STOP
In these operating modes, the CPU can communicate, for example, via the PROFINET IO
interface (X1).
The status LEDs on the front side of the CPU indicate the current operating mode.
10.5.1 STARTUP mode
Function
Before the CPU starts to execute the cyclic user program, a startup program is executed.
By suitably programming startup OBs, you can specify initialization tags for your cyclic
program in the startup program. That is, you can set up one or several startup OBs in your
program, or none at all.
Automation system
Commissioning
Special features in Startup m ode

All outputs are disabled or react according to the parameter settings for the respective
module: They provide a substitute value as set in the parameters or retain the last value
output and bring the controlled process to a safe operating mode.
The process image is initialized.
The process image is not updated.
In order to read the current state of inputs during STARTUP, you can access inputs by
direct I/O access.
In order to initialize outputs during STARTUP, you can write the values via the process
image or via direct I/O access. The values are output at the outputs during the transition
to the RUN mode.
The CPU always starts up in a warm restart.
The non-retentive bit memories, timers and counters are initialized.
The non-retentive tags in data blocks are initialized.
During startup, no cycle time monitoring is running yet.
The CPU processes the startup OBs in the order of the startup OB numbers. The CPU
processes all programmed startup OBs regardless of the selected startup mode.
If a corresponding event occurs, the CPU can start the following OBs in startup:
OB 82: Diagnostics interrupt
OB 83: Removal/insertion of modules
OB 86: Rack error
OB 121: Programming error (only for global error handling)
OB 122: Time-out (for global error handling only)
You can find a description of how to use global and local error handling in the STEP 7
online help.
The CPU cannot start all other OBs until after the transition to RUN mode.
Response when expected and actual configurations do not m atch

The configuration downloaded to the CPU represents the expected configuration. The actual
configuration is the actual configuration of the automation system. If the expected
configuration and actual configuration deviate from one another, the CPU's behavior is
specified by the setting of the hardware compatibility. For additional information about the
hardware compatibility, see the section Operating mode transitions (Page 174).
Canceling a startup
If errors occur during startup, the CPU cancels the startup and returns to STOP mode.
The CPU does not perform startup or interrupts startup under the following conditions:
You have not inserted a SIMATIC memory card or an invalid one is inserted.
You have not downloaded a hardware configuration to the CPU.
Parameter assignment of startup behavior

You can assign parameters for the behavior of the CPU in the Startup group of the CPU
properties.
Automation system
Commissioning
Setting the startup behavior

To set the startup behavior, follow these steps:
1. Select the CPU in the device view of the STEP 7 hardware network editor.
2. In the properties under "General" select the "Startup" area.
Figure 10-2 Setting the startup behavior
Sets the startup type after POWER ON

Defines the startup behavior for the case where a module in a slot does not correspond
to the configured module. This parameter applies to the CPU and to all the modules for
which no other setting was selected.
Startup CPU only if compatible: In this setting a module on a configured slot has to be
compatible with the configured module. Compatible means that the module matches
the number of inputs and output and must match with respect to its electrical and
functional properties.
Startup CPU even if mismatch: At this setting the CPU starts up irrespective of the
type of module plugged.
For locally used modules you can configure the hardware compatibility in the parameter
"Comparison preset to actual module" individually for each slot. When you change the
setting of the hardware compatibility for a module, the setting made at the CPU does not
apply for this module.
Specifies a maximum period (default: 60000 ms) in which the central and distributed I/O
must be ready for operation. The communications modules (CM/CP) are supplied with
voltage and communication parameters during the CPU startup. This parameter assign-
ment time grants a period within which the I/O modules connected to the communication
module (CM/CP) must be operationally ready.
The CPU goes into RUN mode when the central and the distributed I/O is operationally
ready within the parameter assignment time.
If the central and distributed I/O is not ready for operation within the configuration time,
the startup characteristics of the CPU depends on the setting of the hardware compatibil-
ity.
Automation system
Commissioning
Example for the "Comparison preset to actual configuration" parameter

"Startup CPU only if compatible"
The DI 32x24VDC HF input module with 32 digital inputs can be a compatible replacement
for a DI 16x24VDC HF input module with 16 digital inputs. The pin assignment and all
electrical and functional properties are identical.
"Startup CPU even if mismatch"
Instead of a configured digital input module, you insert an analog output module or no
module is present in this slot and thus in all subsequent slots. Although the configured inputs
cannot be accessed, the CPU starts up.
Note that the user program cannot function correctly in this case and take the appropriate
measures.
10.5.2 STOP mode
Function
The CPU does not execute the user program in STOP mode.
All outputs are disabled or react according to the parameter settings for the respective
module: They provide a substitute value as set in the parameters or retain the last value
output and thus hold the controlled process in a safe operating mode.
10.5.3 RUN mode
Function
In "RUN" mode the cyclic, time-driven, and interrupt-driven program execution is performed.
Addresses that are in the "Automatic Update" process image are automatically updated in
each program cycle. See also section Process images and process image partitions
(Page 112).
Execution of the user program

Once the CPU has read the inputs, the cyclic program is executed from the first instruction to
the last instruction. Events with higher priority, such as hardware interrupts, diagnostic
interrupts and communication, can interrupt the cyclic program flow and prolong the cycle
time.
If you have configured a minimum cycle time, the CPU will not end the cycle until this
minimum cycle time has expired, even if the user program is completed sooner.
The operating system monitors the execution time of the cyclic program for a configurable
upper limit known as the maximum cycle time. You can restart this time monitoring at any
point in your program by calling the RE_TRIGR instruction.
If the cyclic program exceeds the maximum cycle time, the operating system will attempt to
start the time error OB (OB 80). If the OB is not present, the CPU ignores that the maximum
cycle time was exceeded. If the cycle monitoring time is exceeded a second time, e.g. while
the time error OB is being processed, the CPU goes to STOP mode.

10.6 CPU memory reset
Basics of a memory reset

A memory reset on the CPU is possible only in the STOP mode.
During memory reset, the CPU is changed to a so-called "initial status".
This means that:
An existing online connection between your programming device/PC and the CPU is
terminated.
The content of the work memory and the retentive and non-retentive data (applies only to
manual memory reset by the user) are deleted.
The diagnostics buffer, time of day, and IP address are retained.
Subsequently the CPU is initialized with the loaded project data (hardware configuration,
code and data blocks, force jobs). The CPU copies this data from the load memory to the
work memory.
Result:
If you set an IP address in the hardware configuration ("Set IP address in the project"
option) and a SIMATIC memory card with the project is in the CPU, this IP address is
valid after the memory reset.
Data blocks no longer have current values but rather their configured start values.
Force jobs remain active.
How can I tell if the CPU is performing a m emory reset?

The RUN/STOP LED flashes yellow at 2 Hz. After completion the CPU goes into STOP
mode, and the RUN/STOP LED is switched on (unchanging yellow).
Result after memory reset

10.6.1 Automatic memory reset
Possible cause of automatic memory reset

The CPU executes an automatic memory reset if an error occurs that prevents normal
further processing.
Causes for such errors can be:
User program is too large, and can't be completely loaded into work memory.
The project data on the SIMATIC memory card are damaged, for example because a file
was deleted.
If you remove or insert the SIMATIC memory card and the backed-up retentive data
differs in structure from that of the configuration on the SIMATIC memory card.
10.6.2 Manual memory reset
Reason for manual memory reset

Memory reset is required to reset the CPU to its "original state".

10.8.1 Reading out and entering I&M data
I&M data
Identification and maintenance data (I&M data) is data saved on the module as read-only
(I data) or read/write (M data) information.
Ident ification data (I&M0): Manufacturer information about the module that can only be read
and is in part also printed on the housing of the module, for example, article number and
serial number.
Maintenance data (I&M1, 2, 3): Plant-dependent information, e.g. installation location.
Maintenance data for the S7-1500/ET 200MP is created during configuration and
downloaded to the automation system/distributed I/O system.
All modules of the S7-1500/ET 200MP support identification data (I&M0 through I&M3).
The I&M identification data supports you in the following activities:
Checking the plant configuration
Locating hardware changes in a plant
Correcting errors in a plant

SIMATIC memory card 11
11.1 SIMATIC memory card - overview
Introduction
The S7-1500 automation system uses a SIMATIC memory card as the program memory.
The SIMATIC memory card is a preformatted memory card compatible with the Windows file
system. The memory card is available in different memory sizes and can be used for the
following purposes:
Transportable data carrier
Program card
Firmware update card
Service data cards
If you transfer the user program to the CPU via an online connection, it is written to the load
memory of the SIMATIC memory card, which must be in the card slot of the CPU for this to
work.
You can also write the SIMATIC memory card in the PG/PC. A commercially available SD
card reader is required to write / read the SIMATIC memory card with the programming
device / PC. This is used to copy files directly to the SIMATIC memory card using the
Windows Explorer, for example.
A SIMATIC memory card is absolutely required in order to operate the CPU.

crdinfo.bin Protected system file (required in order to use the card)
DUMP.S7S Service data file
*.pdf, *.txt, *.csv, .... Further files with different formats that you can also store in fold-
ers of the SIMATIC memory card
Use the serial number for copy protection

You can set up copy protection for CPUs which binds execution of the block to a specific
SIMATIC memory card. Configuration is carried out in STEP 7 in the properties of the block
"Bind to serial number of the SIMATIC memory card".
You can only execute the block if it is on the SIMATIC memory card with the specified serial
number (see section Copy protection (Page 139)).
Removing the SIMATIC m emory card

Only remove the SIMATIC memory card in POWER OFF or STOP mode of the CPU. Ensure
that no writing functions (online functions with the programming device, e.g. loading/deleting
a block, test functions) are active in STOP mode or were active before POWER OFF.
If you remove the SIMATIC memory card during a write process, the following problems can
occur:
The data content of a file is incomplete.
The file is no longer readable, or no longer exists.
The entire content of the card is corrupted.
Inserting the SIMATIC memory card in the CPU in STOP mode triggers a re-evaluation of
the SIMATIC memory card. The CPU hereby compares the content of the configuration on
the SIMATIC memory card with the backed-up retentive data. If the backed-up retentive data
matches the data of the configuration on the SIMATIC memory card, the retentive data is
retained. If the data differs, the CPU automatically performs a memory reset (which means
the retentive data is deleted) and then goes to STOP.
(https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/view/59457183) in connection with the
removal of the SIMATIC memory card.
Removing the SIMATIC m emory card from Windows computers

If you are using the card in a commercially available card reader under Windows, use the
"Eject" function before you remove the card from the card reader. If you remove the card
without using the "Eject" function, you may lose data.
Automation system
SIMATIC memory card
Deleting the contents of the SIMATIC m emory card

You have the following options for deleting the contents of the SIMATIC memory card:
Delete files using Windows Explorer
Format with STEP 7
Not e
If you format the card with Windows utilities, you will render the SIMATIC memory card
unusable as a storage medium for a CPU.
Deletion of files and folders is permitted, with the exception of the "__LOG__" and
"crdinfo.bin" system files. The CPU needs these system files. If you delete the files, you will
no longer be able to use the SIMATIC memory card with the CPU.
If you have deleted the "__LOG__" and "crdinfo.bin" system files, format the SIMATIC
memory card as described in the following section.
Formatting the SIMATIC m emory card
Not e
You may only format a SIMATIC memory card in the CPU; otherwise, the SIMATIC memory
card cannot be used in the CPU.
If you want to format the SIMATIC memory card using STEP 7, an online connection to the
relevant CPU must exist. The relevant CPU is in the STOP mode.
Proceed as follows to format a SIMATIC memory card:
1. Open the Online and Diagnostics view of the CPU (either from the project context or via
"Accessible devices").
2. In the "Functions" folder, select the "Format memory card" group.
3. Click the "Format" button.
4. Click "Yes" in response to the confirmation prompt.
Result:
The SIMATIC memory card is formatted for use in the CPU.
The data on the CPU is deleted with the exception of the IP address.

11.2 Setting the card type
Service life of a SIMATIC memory card

The service life of a SIMATIC memory card depends essentially on the following factors:
Number of delete/write operations per memory block
Number of written bytes
External influences, such as ambient temperature

Manual.
11.2 Setting the card type
Introduction
You can use the SIMATIC memory card as a program card or as a firmware update card.
Procedure
1. To set the card type, insert the SIMATIC memory card into the card reader of the
programming device.
2. Select the "SIMATIC Card Reader" folder in the project tree.
3. In the properties of the selected SIMATIC memory card, specify the card type:
P rogram c ard
You use a program card as an external load memory for the CPU. It contains the entire
user program for the CPU. The CPU transfers the user program from the load memory to
the work memory. The user program runs in the work memory.
The following folder is created on the SIMATIC memory card: SIMATIC.S7
Firmware update c ard
You can save firmware for CPUs and for I/O modules on a SIMATIC memory card. You
can perform a firmware update with the help of a specially prepared SIMATIC memory
card.
The following folder is created on the SIMATIC memory card: FWUPDATE.S7S

11.3 Data transfer with SIMATIC memory cards
11.3 Data transfer with SIMATIC memory cards
Transferring objects from the project to a SIMATIC m emory card

When the SIMATIC memory card is inserted in the programming device or in an external
card reader, you can transfer the following objects from the project tree (STEP 7) to the
SIMATIC memory card:
Individual blocks (multiple selection possible)
In this case, the transfer is consistent, which means that the function takes dependencies
between blocks due to block calls into account.
CPU folder
In this case, all runtime-relevant objects including blocks and the hardware configuration
are transferred onto the SIMATIC memory card - just as when downloading.
Service data
In this case, the service data saved beforehand (see section Reading out/saving service
data (Page 230)) is transferred to the SIMATIC memory card.
To perform a transfer, you can transfer the objects by dragging and dropping, or use the
"Card Reader/USB memory > Write to memory card" command in the "Project" menu.
Firmware update via SIMATIC memory card

You can find information on how to perform a firmware update via SIMATIC memory card in
the section Firmware update (Page 213).

CPU display 12
Introduction
The section below gives an overview of the mode of operation of the CPU display. Detailed
information on the individual options, a training course and a simulation of the selectable
menu items is available in the SIMATIC S7-1500 Display Simulator
(http://www.automation.siemens.com/salesmaterial-as/interactive-manuals/getting-
started_simatic-s7-1500/disp_tool/start_en.html).
Display
The S7-1500 CPU has a front cover with a display and operating keys. The display of the
CPU shows you the control and status information in different menus. You use operating
keys to navigate through the menus and make a variety of settings in the process.
Benefits
The display of the CPU offers the following advantages:
Reduced downtimes through diagnostic messages in plain text
Changing of the interface settings locally without a programming device
Password assignment for display operation is possible via STEP 7.
Shorter downtimes due to read and write access to force tables and read access to watch
tables:
The watch tables and force tables allow the current values of the individual tags of a user
program or CPU to be monitored and modified on the display. You can find additional
information on the watch and force tables in the section Test functions and fault
resolution (Page 225) and in the STEP 7 online help.
IP addresses of CPU and connected CMs/CPs can be set.

Operating temperature for the display

To increase the service life of the display, the display switches off when the permitted
operating temperature is exceeded. When the display has cooled down again, it switches on
automatically again. When the display is switched off, the LEDs continue to show the status
of the CPU.
Additional information about the temperatures at which the display switches off and back on
again is available in the technical data of the manuals of the CPUs.

Maintenance
Coding element in the front connector

When the front connector is inserted into the I/O module for the first time, one half of the
coding element latches into the front connector. When you remove the front connector from
the I/O module, this half of the coding element remains in the front connector, while the other
half remains in the I/O module.
Figure 13-2 Coding element in the I/O module/front connector
You can insert a coded front connector on modules with the same electrical pin assignment.
Refer to section Application planning (Page 33).
NOTICE
P hy sical damage can occur

If the coding element is changed or removed, it will be possible to insert the front connector
on modules in which the electrical connection is not properly wired.
This can destroy the module and/or the connected sensors and actuators. Even hazardous

13.2.2 Replacing an I/O module
Introduction
When the front connector is first inserted into the I/O module, a part of the coding element
clips onto the front connector.
In the case of fail-safe modules, the electronic coding element with the PROFIsafe
address of the F-module also engages completely in the front connector.
When you replace an I/O module with the same type of module, the correct coding element
or coding elements in the case of F-modules are already present in the front connector.
Result: Before inserting the previous front connector, you must remove the coding
element(s) from the new I/O module.
Procedure
To replace the I/O module, follow these steps:
You have already uninstalled the I/O module.
You can find information on removing the I/O module in section Installing I/O modules
(Page 61).
1. For a new I/O module, use a screwdriver to break out the half of the mechanical coding
element that is designated for the front connector.
Not e
The arrangement of the mechanical coding element depends on the module type: Check
the position of the coding element on the front connector before you break out the
matching half from the I/O module.
For a new fail-safe module you must also remove the electronic coding element from the
F-module.

Perform a reset to factory settings as follows:

1. Set the mode selector to the STOP position.
Result: The RUN/STOP LED lights up yellow.
2. Set the mode selector to the MRES position. Hold the mode selector in this position until
the RUN/STOP LED lights up for the 2nd time and remains continuously lit (this takes
three seconds). After this, release the selector.
3. Within the next three seconds, switch the mode selector back to the MRES position, and
then back to STOP again.
Result: The CPU executes a "Reset to factory settings", during which time the RUN/STOP
LED flashes yellow. When the RUN/STOP LED lights up yellow, then the CPU has been
reset to factory settings, and is in the STOP mode. The "Reset to factory settings" event is
entered into the diagnostics buffer.

S ubstitute v alue behavior of the installed I/O modules during reset to factory s ettings
With "Reset to factory settings", the I/O modules in the station change to the non-configured
state, which means that no input data is acquired and no output data is output.
Reference
You will find more information on the procedure in the STEP 7 online help.
Safe state (safety concept)

The basic principle behind the safety concept is the existence of a safe state for all process
variables.
Not e
For fail-safe input and output modules, this safe state is the value "0".
Fault reactions and startup of the F-system

The safety function requires that substitute values (safe state) be output instead of process
values for a fail-safe module (pas sivation of the fail-safe module) in the following cases:
When the F-system is started up
If errors are detected during safety-related communication between the F-CPU and the F-
module via the PROFIsafe safety protocol (communication error)
If F-I/O faults or channel faults are detected (e.g., wire break, discrepancy error)
Detected faults are written to the diagnostic buffer of the F-CPU and communicated to the
safety program in the F-CPU.
F-modules cannot save errors as retentive data. When the system is powered down and
then restarted, any faults still existing are detected again during startup. However, you have
the option of saving faults in your safety program.
WA RNING
Channel faults do not trigger any diagnostic reactions or error handling for channels that
have been set to "deactivated" in STEP 7, even when this channel is affected indirectly by a
channel group fault (Channel parameter "activated/deactivated").
Automation system
Maintenance
Remedying faults in the F-system

To remedy faults in your F-system, follow the procedure described in IEC 61508-1:2010
section 7.15.2.4 and IEC 61508-2:2010 section 7.6.2.1 e.
The following steps must be performed:
1. Diagnostic and repair of the fault
2. Revalidation of the safety function
3. Recording in the service report
Fail-safe value output for F-modules

In t he c ase of F-modules with inputs, the F-system provides fail-safe values (0) for the safety
program instead of the process data pending at the fail-safe inputs in case of passivation.
In t he c ase of F-modules with outputs, the F-system transfers fail-safe values (0) to the fail-
safe outputs instead of the output values provided by the safety program in case of
passivation. The output channels are de-energized. This also applies when the F-CPU goes
into STOP mode. The parameter assignment of fail-safe values is not possible.
Depending on the F-system used and the type of fault that occurred, (F-I/O, channel or
communication error) and on the parameter assignment of the F-module, fail-safe values are
used either for the affected channel only or for all channels of the fail-safe module involved.
Reintegration of a fail-safe m odule

The system changes from fail-safe to process values (reintegration of an F-module) either
automatically or only after user acknowledgment in the safety program. If channel faults
occur, it may be necessary to remove and reinsert the F-module. A detailed listing of faults
requiring removal and insertion of the F-module can be found in the section Diagnostic
messages of the respective F-module.
After reintegration, the following occurs:
In the case of an F-module with inputs, the process data pending at the fail-safe inputs
are provided to the safety program
In the case of an F-module with outputs, the output values provided in the safety program
are again transferred to the fail-safe outputs
Additional information on passivation and reintegration

For additional information on passivation and reintegration of F-I/O, refer to the SIMATIC
Safety, Configuring and Programming
(http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/en/54110126) manual.
Reaction of the F-module with inputs to communication errors

F-modules with inputs respond differently to communication errors compared to other errors.
If a communication error is detected, the current process values remain set at the inputs of
the F-module. There is no passivation of the channels. The current process values are
passivated in the F-CPU.

14.1 Test functions
Testing with program status

The program status allows you to monitor the execution of the program. You can display the
values of operands and the results of logic operations (RLO) allowing you to recognize and
fix logical errors in your program.
Not e
Res trictions with t he " Program status" f unction
The monitoring of loops can increase the cycle time significantly, depending in each case on
the number of tags to be monitored and on the actual number of loops processed.

Make sure that no dangerous situations can arise before you conduct a test with the
"Program status" function.
Automation system
Test functions and fault resolution
14.1 Test functions
Testing with watch tables

The following functions are available in the watch table:
Monitoring of tags
You can use the watch tables to monitor the current values of the individual tags of a user
program or a CPU on the programming device/PC, on the display of the CPU, and on the
web server. A symbolic name for the tags must be specified in the "Name" column of the
watch table to allow the display of the CPU and the web server to show the value of the
tags.
You can monitor the following operand areas:
Inputs and outputs (process image) and bit memory
Contents of data blocks
Peripheral inputs and peripheral outputs
Timers and counters
Modifying tags
Use this function to assign fixed values to the individual tags of a user program or CPU
on the PG/PC. Modifying is also possible with Test with program status.
The following operand areas are modifiable:
Inputs and outputs (process image) and bit memory
Peripheral inputs and peripheral outputs (for example, %I0.0:P, %Q0.0:P)
Timers and counters
"Enable peripheral outputs" and "Modify now"
These two functions enable you to assign fixed values to individual peripheral outputs of
a CPU in the STOP mode. You can also use them to check your wiring.
Automation system
14.1 Test functions
Testing with a force table

The following functions are available in the force table:
Monitoring of tags
You can use the force tables to display the current values of the individual tags of a user
program or a CPU on the programming device/PC, on the display of the CPU, and on the
web server. You can monitor the table with or without trigger condition.
A symbolic name for the tags must be specified in the "Name" column of the force table in
order that the display of the CPU and the web server can display the value of the tags.
You can monitor the following tags:
Bit memory
Peripheral inputs
Modifying tags
You use this function to assign fixed values to individual tags of a user program or a CPU
on the programming device/PC or on the display of the CPU. Modifying is also possible
with Test with program status.
The following tags are modifiable:
Bit memory
Peripheral inputs (e.g. %I0.0:P)
Forcing of peripheral inputs and peripheral outputs
You can force individual peripheral inputs or peripheral outputs.
Peripheral inputs: Forcing of peripheral inputs (for example %I0.0:P) is a "bypassing"
of sensors / inputs by the specification of fixed values to the program. The program
receives the force value instead of the actual input value (via process image or via
direct access).
Peripheral outputs: Forcing of peripheral outputs (for example %Q0.0:P) is a
"bypassing" of the complete program by the specification of fixed values to the
actuators.
One advantage of the force table is that you can simulate different test environments and
overwrite tags in the CPU with a permanent value. This enables you to intervene in the
ongoing process for regulating purposes.
Difference between modifying and forcing

The fundamental difference between the modifying and forcing functions consists in the
storage behavior:
Modifying: Modifying of tags is an online function and is not stored in the CPU. You can
end modifying of tags in the watch table or force table or by terminating the online
connection.
Forcing: A force job is written to the SIMATIC memory card and is retained after a
POWER OFF. The S7-1500 CPU displays an active force job with a corresponding
symbol. You can only end the forcing of peripheral inputs and peripheral outputs in the
force table.
Automation system
14.1 Test functions
Testing with a PLC tag table

You can monitor the current data values of tags in the CPU directly in the PLC tag table. To
do so, open the PLC tag table and start the monitoring.
You also have the option of copying PLC tags to a watch table or force table so that you can
monitor, control or force them in the table.
Testing with a data block editor

The data block editor offers different options for monitoring and modifying tags. These
functions directly access the actual values of the tags in the online program. Actual values
are the current values of tags in the CPU work memory at any moment during program
execution. The following functions for monitoring and modifying are available in the database
editor.
Monitor tags online
Modify individual actual values
Create a snapshot of the actual values
Overwrite actual values with a snapshot
Not e
S et ting data v alues during c ommissioning
During commissioning of a plant, data values have to be frequently adjusted in order to
optimally adapt the program to the general operating conditions on site. The declaration
table for data blocks offers some functions for this purpose.
Testing with the LED flash test

In many online dialogs, you can perform an LED flash test. This function is useful, for
example, when you are not sure which device in the hardware configuration corresponds to
the station currently selected in the software.
When you click the "Flash LED" button, an LED flashes at the currently selected station. On
the CPU, the following LEDs flash: RUN/STOP LED, ERROR LED and MAINT LED. The
LEDs flash until you cancel the flash test.
Testing with a trace function

The trace function is used to record the CPU tags, depending on the settable trigger
conditions. Tags are, for example, drive parameters or system and user tags of a CPU. The
CPU saves the recordings. You can display and evaluate the recordings, if necessary, with
STEP 7 or via the Web server.
The trace function can be called from the CPU's folder in the project tree, under the name
"Traces".
In connection with trace functions, also note the following FAQ on the Internet
(http://www.siemens.com/automation/service&support ).

Procedure using the Web server

To read service data using the Web server, follow these steps:
1. Open a web browser that is suitable for communication with the CPU.
2. Enter the following address in the address bar of the web browser:
https://<CPU IP address>/save_service_data, e.g. https://172.23.15.3/save_service_data
Automation system
3. The service data page will appear on your screen, with a button for saving the service
data.
Figure 14-1 Reading out service data via the web server
4. Save the service data locally on your PC/programming device, by clicking "Save
ServiceData".
Result: The data is saved in a .dmp file with the following naming convention: <Article
number> <Serial number> <Time stamp>.dmp". The file name can be changed.
Not e
If you have defined your user page as the home page of the Web server, direct access to the
service data by inputting the IP address of the CPU is not possible. For more information on
reading out service data via a user-defined page, refer to the Web server
(http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/en/59193560) function manual.

A description of how to save service data is available under the keyword "Save service data"
in STEP 7 online help.
Procedure via the SIMATIC memory card

Use the SIMATIC memory card to read out the service data only if you are no longer able to
communicate with the CPU via Ethernet. In all other cases it is preferable to read out the
service data via the Web server or STEP 7.
The procedure using the SIMATIC memory card is more time-consuming than the other
options for reading out the service data. You must also ensure before reading out that there
is sufficient memory space on the SIMATIC memory card.
To read service data using the SIMATIC memory card, follow these steps:
1. Insert the SIMATIC memory card into the card reader of your PC / programming device.
2. Open the job file S7_JOB.S7S in an editor.
3. Overwrite the entry PROGRAM with the string DUMP in the editor.
To ensure that the file size is exactly 4 bytes, do not use any spaces/line
breaks/quotation marks.
4. Save the file under the existing file name.
Automation system
5. Make sure that the SIMATIC memory card is not write-protected and insert it in the slot on
the CPU.
(for the CPU 1517(F)-3 PN/DP, CPU 1517T(F)-3 PN/DP, CPU 1518(F)-4 PN/DP and
CPU 1518(F)-4 PN/DP ODK, you need a card 2 GB, and for the CPU 1511(F)-1 PN,

CPU 1515(F)-2 PN, CPU 1515T-2 PN and CPU 1516(F)-3 PN/DP, a card 32 MB)
Result: The CPU writes the service data file DUMP.S7S to the SIMATIC memory card and
remains in STOP mode.
The transfer of the service data has been completed as soon as the STOP LED stops
flashing and lights up continuously. If the transfer was successful, only the STOP LED lights
up. If the transfer was not successful, the STOP LED lights up and the ERROR LED flashes.
In case of an error, the CPU stores a text file with a note on the error that occurred in the
DUMP.S7S folder.

Protecting S7-1500/ET 200MP against overvoltages with fail-safe modules

If your system requires protection from overvoltage, we recommend that you use an external
protective circuit (surge filter) between the load current supply and the supply voltage input
of the F-modules to ensure surge immunity for S7-1500/ET 200MP with fail-safe modules.
Not e
Lightning protection measures always require a case-by-case examination of the entire
system. An almost complete protection from overvoltages, however, can only be achieved if
the entire building surroundings have been designed for overvoltage protection. In particular,
this involves structural measures in the building design phase.
For detailed information regarding overvoltage protection, we recommend that you contact
your Siemens representative or a company specializing in lightning protection.
You can find more information on protection from overvoltage in the Designing interference-
free controllers (http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/en/59193566) function

Automation system
Glossary
Automation system
Programmable logic controller for the closed-loop and open-loop control of process chains in
the process engineering industry and manufacturing technology. The automation system
consists of different components and integrated system functions according to the
automation task.
Baud rate
Data transmission rate indicates the number of bits transmitted per second (baud rate = bit
rate).
Bit memory
Bit memory is a component of the system memory of the CPU for saving intermediate
results. It can be accessed in bit, byte, word or double word mode.
Bus
A common transfer route to which all nodes of a field bus system are connected; it has two
defined ends.
Bus cable connector

Physical connection between the bus node and the bus cable.
Bus, self-assembling
The modules are lined up on the mounting rail, and are mechanically and electrically
connected to each other with a U connector as they are swiveled into position. In this way
the bus is extended with each module.
Code block
In SIMATIC S7, a code block is a block that contains a section of the STEP 7 user program.
(in contrast to a data block, which contains only data)
Configuration
Systematic arrangement of the individual modules (configuration).
Automation system
Glossary
Connection plug
Physical connection between device and cable.
Consistent data
Data whose content belongs together and must not be separated is known as consistent
data.
Counter
Counters are components of the system memory of the CPU. You can modify the content of
the "counter cells" using STEP 7 instructions (e.g. count up/down).
CPU
The CPU uses the integrated system power supply to supply the electronics of the modules
via the backplane bus. The CPU contains the operating system and executes the user
program. The user program is located on the SIMATICmemory card and is processed in the
work memory of the CPU. The PROFINET interfaces on the CPU allow simultaneous
communication with PROFINET devices, PROFINET controllers, HMI devices, programming
devices, other controllers and other systems. The S7-1500 CPUs support operation as an IO
controller and I-device. Similarly to the PROFINET interface, the PROFIBUS interface
available on some of the S7-1500 CPUs allows communication with other devices. When the
interface is used as PROFIBUS DP interface, the CPU on the PROFIBUS DP also assumes
the role of a DP master.
Crimping
Procedure whereby two components joined together, e.g. wire end sleeve and cable, are
connected with one another through plastic strain.
Cycle time
The cycle time represents the time a CPU requires to execute the user program once.
Cyclic interrupt
see "Interrupt, cyclic"
Data block
Data blocks (DBs) are data areas in the user program that contain user data. There are
global data blocks, which can be accessed from all code blocks, and instance data blocks,
which are assigned to a specific FB call.
Device
A device can send, receive or amplify data via the bus, e.g. IO device via PROFINET IO.
Automation system
Glossary
Device names
Before an IO device can be addressed by an IO controller, it must have a device name. This
approach was chosen for PROFINET because names are easier to administer than complex
IP addresses.
In its delivery state, an IO device has no device name. An IO device can only be addressed
by an IO controller - e.g., for transferring configuration data (including the IP address) during
startup, or for user data exchange during cyclic operation - after it has been assigned a
device name with the programming device/PC.
Diagnostic buffer
The diagnostic buffer is a battery-backed memory area in the CPU where diagnostic events
are stored in their order of occurrence.
Diagnostics
Monitoring functions for the detection, localization, classification, display, and further
evaluation of errors, faults, and alarms. They run automatically while the system is in
operation. This increases the availability of systems by reducing commissioning times and
downtimes.
Diagnostics interrupt
see "Interrupt, diagnostic"
Distributed I/O system

System with I/O modules that are configured on a distributed basis, at a large distance from
the CPU controlling them.
DP
Distributed I/O
Equipotential bonding
Electrical connection (potential equalization conductor) that brings the bodies of electrical
equipment and other conductive bodies to the same or almost the same potential, in order to
prevent disruptive or dangerous voltages between these bodies.
Firmware update
Updating the firmware of modules (interface modules, I/O modules, etc.), for example after
functional expansions, to the latest firmware version (update).
Automation system
Glossary
Function
A function (FC) is a code block with no static data. A function allows you to pass parameters
in the user program. Functions are thus suited for programming frequently recurring complex
functions, such as calculations.
Function block
A function block (FB) is a code block with static data. An FB allows you to pass parameters
in the user program. Function blocks are thus suited for programming frequently recurring
complex functions, such as closed-loop controls or operating mode selection.
Functional ground
The functional ground is a low-impedance current path between electric circuits and ground.
It is not intended as a protective measure but rather, for example, for improvement of
interference immunity.
Ground
Conductive earth whose electrical potential can be set equal to zero at any point.
All interconnected, inactive parts of a piece of equipment that cannot accept any dangerous
contact voltage, even in the event of a fault.
Ground
Conductive earth whose electrical potential can be set equal to zero at any point.
All interconnected, inactive parts of a piece of equipment that cannot accept any dangerous
contact voltage, even in the event of a fault.
Grounding
Grounding means connecting an electrically conductive part to a grounding electrode by
means of a grounding system.
GSD file
The Generic Station Description file contains all properties of a PROFINET or PROFIBUS
device that are necessary for its configuration.
Hardware interrupt
See "Interrupt, hardware"
I/O m odules
All modules that can be operated with a CPU or an interface module.
Automation system
Glossary
Identification data
Information that is saved in modules, and that supports the user in reviewing the system
configuration and locating hardware changes.
Instance data block

Each call of a function block in the STEP 7 user program is assigned a data block, which is
automatically generated. Values of the input, output and in/out parameters, as well as local
block data, are stored in the instance data block.
Interface module
Module in the distributed I/O system. The interface module connects the distributed I/O
system to the CPU (IO controller) via a fieldbus, and prepares the data for and from I/O
modules.
Interrupt
The operating system of the CPU distinguishes between various priority classes that control
the execution of the user program. These priority classes include interrupts, such as
hardware interrupts. When an interrupt occurs, the operating system automatically calls an
assigned organization block. The user can program the desired reaction in the organization
block (e.g. in a FB).
Interrupt, cyclic
The CPU generates a cyclic interrupt periodically within a parameterizable time grid and then
processes the corresponding organization block.
Interrupt, hardware
A hardware interrupt is triggered by interrupt-triggering modules due to a certain event in the
process. The hardware interrupt is signaled to the CPU. The CPU then processes the
assigned organization block according to the priority of this interrupt.
Interrupt, time-delay
The time-delay interrupt is one of the program execution priority classes of SIMATIC S7. It is
generated after expiration of a timer started in the user program. The CPU then processes
the corresponding organization block.
Interrupt, time-of-day
The time-of-day interrupt is one of the program execution priority classes of SIMATIC S7.. It
is generated based on a defined date (or daily) and time (e.g. 9:50 or every hour, every
minute). The CPU then processes the corresponding organization block.
Automation system
Glossary
Interrupt, update
When it receives an update interrupt, the operating system calls the update interrupt OB.
This may happen if you changed a parameter on a slot of a device.
IP address
The IP address is made up of four decimal numbers with a range of values from 0 through
255. The decimal numbers are separated by a dot (e.g. 192.162.0.0).
The IP address consists of the following:
Address of the network
Address of the device (PROFINET interface of the IO controller/IO device)
Is olated m odules
In the case of isolated input/output modules, the reference potentials of the control and load
circuits are galvanically isolated, e.g. by means of optical isolators, relays or transformers.
Input/output circuits can be connected to common potential.
Load current supply

Supply of the module's input and output electric circuits.
M AC address
Every PROFINET device is assigned a worldwide unique device identification before it
leaves the factory. This 6-byte long device identification is the MAC address.
The MAC address is divided into:
3-byte manufacturer identification
3-byte device identification (consecutive number)
The MAC address is generally shown on the front of the device.
Example: 08-00-06-6B-80-C0
Non-isolated m odules
In the case of non-isolated input and output modules, the reference potentials of the control
and load circuits are electrically connected.
NTP
The Network Time Protocol (NTP) is a standard for synchronizing clocks in automation
systems via Industrial Ethernet. NTP uses the UDP connectionless network protocol.
Automation system
Glossary
Organization block
Organization blocks (OBs) form the interface between the operating system of the CPU and
the user program. The organization blocks determine the order in which the user program is
executed.
Parameter
Tag of a STEP 7 code block:
Tag for setting the behavior of a module (one or more per module). In as-delivered state,
every module has an appropriate basic setting, which you can change by configuring in
STEP 7. There are static and dynamic parameters
Parameter assignment
Parameter assignment is the transfer of parameters from the IO controller / DP master to the
IO device / DP slave.
Parameters, dynamic
In contrast to static parameters, you can change dynamic parameters of modules during
operation by calling an SFC in the user program, e.g. limit values of an analog input module.
Parameters, static
In contrast to dynamic parameters, you cannot change static parameters of modules with the
user program but only by configuring in STEP 7, e.g. input delay of a digital input module.
PELV
P rotective E xtra Low V oltage = grounded extra low voltage with safe isolation
Pre-wiring
Wiring of the electrical system on the front connector before the front connector is used on
the I/O module.
Process image (I/O)

The CPU transfers the values from the input and output modules to this memory area. At the
start of the cyclic program the signal states of the input modules are transmitted to the
process image of the inputs. At the end of the cyclic program the process image of the
outputs is transmitted as signal state to the output modules.
Product version (PV) = Function version (FV)

The product version or function version provides information on the hardware version of the
module.
Automation system
Glossary
PROFIBUS
PROcess FIeld BUS, process and fieldbus standard that is specified in IEC 61158 Type 3. It
specifies functional, electrical and mechanical characteristics for a bit-serial field bus system.
PROFIBUS supports the protocols DP (= Distributed I/O), FMS (= Fieldbus Message
Specification), PA (= Process Automation), or TF (= Technological Functions).
PROFINET
PROcess FIeld NETwork, open industrial Ethernet standard which further develops
PROFIBUS and industrial Ethernet. A cross-manufacturer communication, automation, and
engineering model defined by PROFIBUS International e.V. as an automation standard.
PROFINET IO
Communication concept for the realization of modular, distributed applications within the
scope of PROFINET.
PROFINET IO controller
Device used to address connected I/O devices (e.g. distributed I/O systems). This means
that: The IO controller exchanges input and output signals with assigned I/O devices. Often,
the IO controller is the CPU on which the automation program runs.
PROFINET IO device
Distributed field device that can be assigned to one or more IO controllers (e.g. distributed
I/O system, valve terminals, frequency converters, switches).
Push-in terminal
Terminal for the tool-free connection of wires.
Reference potential
Potential from which the voltages of the circuits involved are observed and/or measured.
Restart
During a warm restart, all non-retentive bit memory is deleted and non-retentive DB contents
are reset to the initial values from load memory. Retentive bit memory and retentive DB
contents are retained. Program execution begins at the call of the first startup OB.
Retentivity
A memory area whose content is retained after power failure and after a STOP to RUN
transition is retentive. The non-retentive area of the bit memory, timers and counters is reset
after power failure and after a STOP to RUN transition.
Automation system
Glossary
Row
All the modules attached to a mounting rail.
Runtime error
Error that occurs during execution of the user program in the automation system (thus not in
the process).
SELV
S afety E xtra Low V oltage = Safety extra-low voltage
Slave station
A slave may only exchange data with a master after being requested to by the master.
SNMP
SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is the standardized protocol for performing
diagnostics on and assigning parameters to the Ethernet network infrastructure.
In the office setting and in automation engineering, devices from a wide range of vendors on
the Ethernet support SNMP.
SNMP-based applications can be operated on the same network in parallel to applications
with PROFINET.
The scope of supported functions varies depending on the device type. For example a switch
has more functions than a CP 1616.
Switch
PROFIBUS is a linear network. The communication nodes are linked by means of a passive
cable - the bus.
By contrast, Industrial Ethernet consists of point-to-point connections: each communication
node is interconnected directly with precisely one other communication node.
If a communication node is linked to several communication nodes, this communication node
is connected to the port of an active network component - the switch. Additional
communication nodes (including switches) can now be connected to the other ports of the
switch. The connection between a communication node and the switch remains a point-to-
point connection.
A switch thus has the task of regenerating and distributing received signals. The switch
"learns" the Ethernet address(es) of a connected PROFINET device or additional switches
and only forwards those signals that are intended for the connected PROFINET device or
switch.
A switch has a specific number of connections (ports). You connect at most one PROFINET
device or additional switch to each port.
Automation system
Glossary
System power supply

Consists of the integrated system power supply of the CPU/interface module and additional
power supplies (PS), if necessary. The system power supply serves exclusively to supply the
I/O modules via the backplane bus.
Technology object
A technology object supports you in the configuration and commissioning of a technological
function.
The properties of real objects are represented by technology objects in the controller. Real
objects can be, for example, controlled systems and drives.
The technology object contains all data of the real object required for its open-loop or closed-
loop control, and it signals back status information.
TIA Portal
Totally Integrated Automation Portal
The TIA Portal is the key to the full performance capability of Totally Integrated Automation.
The software optimizes operating, machine and process sequences.
Time-delay interrupt
see "Interrupt, time-delay"
Time-of-day interrupt
see "Interrupt, time-of-day"
Timer
Timers are components of the system memory of the CPU. The operating system
automatically updates the content of the "timer cells" asynchronously to the user program.
STEP 7 instructions define the precise function of the timer cell (e.g. on-delay) and trigger its
execution (e.g. start).
Update interrupt
see "Interrupt, update"
User program
SIMATIC differentiates between the operating system of the CPU and user programs. The
user program contains all instructions and declarations as well as data for the signal
processing that enable a plant or process to be controlled. The user program is assigned to
a programmable module (e.g. CPU) and can be structured in smaller units.
