WARNING
Danger of personal injury and property damage, danger of irritation by harmful
substances.
Incorrect handling can cause a lithium battery to explode, and incorrect disposal of old lithium
batteries can release harmful substances. It is therefore essential that you observe the
following instructions:
Do not throw new or discharged batteries into fire and do not solder on the cell body (max.
temperature 100 °C), also do not recharge - danger of explosion! Do not open batteries, only
replace them with identical types. Only obtain replacements from Siemens (for order number,
see Reference Manual "Module Data", Appendix C (Page 365)). This ensures that you have a
short-circuit-proof type.
If possible, old batteries should be given to battery manufacturers/recyclers or disposed of as
hazardous waste.

2.6 The ER2 rack (6ES7403-1JAx1-0AA0)

Order number
In the article number 6ES7403-1JAx1-0AA0, the "x" placeholder has the following meaning:
• x=0: Mounting rail made of sheet steel
• x=1: Mounting rail made of aluminum

Introduction
The ER2 rack is used for setting up extension racks.
The ER2 rack has only one I/O bus with the following restrictions:
• Interrupts from the ER2 module have no effect because there are no interrupt lines.
• Modules in ER2 are not supplied with 24 V. Modules that require a 24 V supply are not
intended for use in ER2.
• Modules in ER2 are not backed up by the battery in the power supply module or by the voltage
supplied externally to the CPU module or the receive IM (EXT. BATT socket).
There is therefore no advantage in using backup batteries in the ER2 power supply modules.
Battery failures and backup voltage errors are not reported to the CPU. Therefore, battery
monitoring should always be switched off for a power supply module installed in ER2.

Suitable modules for ER2


You can use the following modules in the ER2:
• All power supply modules
• Receive IMs
• All signal modules, provided that the above restrictions are observed.
Special case: Power supply modules must not be used together with the receive IM IM 461-1.

Power supply modules 3
3.1 Common characteristics of the power supply modules

Purpose of the power supply modules


The power supply modules of the S7-400 supply the other modules in the rack with their
operating voltages via the backplane bus. They do not provide load voltages for the signal
modules.

Common properties of all power supply modules


In addition to their module-specific technical specifications, power supply modules share the
following properties:
• Encapsulated design for use in racks of the S7-400 system.
• Heat dissipation through natural convection
• Plug-in connection of the supply voltage with AC - DC coding
• Protection class I (with protective conductor) according to IEC 61140 (VDE 0140, part 1)
• Limiting of inrush current according to NAMUR recommendation NE 21
• Short-circuit-proof outputs
• Monitoring of the two output voltages. If one of these voltages fails, the power supply
module signals an error to the CPU.
• The two output voltages (5 V DC and 24 V DC) have a common ground.
• Primary clocked
• Battery backup is possible. The set parameters and the memory contents (RAM) are buffered
in CPUs and configurable modules over the backplane bus. The backup battery thus enables
a hot restart of the CPU. Both the power supply module and the battery-backed modules
monitor the battery voltage.
• Operation and error display via LEDs on the front plate
Note
A disconnect switch must be provided when installing AC power supply modules.

Switching the line voltage off/on


The power supply modules have inrush current limiting in accordance with NAMUR.

Power supply modules
3.1 Common characteristics of the power supply modules

Power supply module in improper slot


If you plug the power supply module of a rack into a slot not intended for it, it will not go into
operation. In this case, proceed as follows to correctly put the power supply module into
operation:
1. Disconnect the power supply from the supply system (not just standby switch).
2. Remove the power supply module.
3. Install the power supply module in slot 1.
4. Wait at least 1 minute and then switch the supply voltage back on.

CAUTION
Property damage may occur.
If you plug a power supply module in a slot that is not intended for power supply modules,
the module may be damaged. Slots 1 to 4 are permitted, whereby the power supply
modules must be plugged in starting from slot 1 without leaving gaps.
Make sure that power supply modules are only plugged into permitted slots.

Redundant operation
With two power supply modules of the type PS 407 10A R or PS 405 10A R, you can set up a
redundant power supply for a rack. This is recommended if you want to increase the availability
of your controller, especially if you must operate it on an unreliable power system.

Setting up a redundant power supply


Redundant operation is possible with the S7 CPUs and racks described in this documentation
package. STEP 7 V4.02 or higher is also required.
To set up a redundant power supply, plug one power supply module each into slots 1 and 3
of the rack. You can then equip the rack with as many modules as can be supplied by a single
power supply, i.e. for redundant operation, all the modules used may draw a total of 10 A.

Properties
The redundant power supply of an S7-400 has the following properties:
• The power supply module has inrush current limiting in accordance with NAMUR.
• Each of the two power supply modules can take over supplying power to the entire rack if the
other one fails. There is no interruption of operation.
• Each of the two power supply modules can be replaced while the system is in operation.
Neither voltage dips nor voltage peaks in the useful voltages occur when modules are
unplugged and plugged.
• Each of the two power supply modules monitors its function and reports its failure.
• Neither power supply module can generate a fault that affects the output voltage of the other
power supply module.
• A redundant battery concept (backup concept) only exists if two backup batteries are used
in each of the two power supply modules. If only one battery is used in each module, only
non-redundant battery backup is possible, since both batteries are under load
simultaneously.

3.2 Redundant power supply modules

• The failure of a power supply module is signaled by a pull/plug interrupt (default STOP). The
CPU in the 2nd segment of the CR2 does not report the failure of a power supply module.
• If two power supply modules are plugged in but only one is switched on, there is an ON delay
of up to one minute when the line voltage is switched on.
Note
In the Properties dialog box of the CPU, "Startup when expected/actual config. differ" should
be enabled.

3.3 Backup battery (option)

3.3 Backup battery (option)

Introduction
The power supply modules of the S7-400 have a battery compartment for one or two backup
batteries. The installation of these backup batteries is optional.

Function of the backup battery(ies)


If backup batteries have been installed, the set parameters and the memory contents (RAM) are
buffered via the backplane bus if the power supply module is switched off or the supply voltage
in CPUs and configurable modules fails, as long as the battery voltage is within tolerance.
Furthermore, the backup battery enables a hot restart of the CPU after power ON.
Both the power supply module and the battery-backed modules monitor the battery voltage.

Inserting the backup battery


Activate battery monitoring after inserting one or two backup batteries. Then make sure that
neither the corresponding BATT1F or BATT2F LED nor the BAF LED are lit when the power supply
is ON. Only then is the backup battery working properly and the buffering guaranteed, as
described above.

Note
Plug the power supply module into the rack and switch it on before inserting a backup battery
for the first time. By doing so, you will extend the service life of the backup battery.

Power supply modules with two backup batteries


Some power supply modules have a battery compartment for two batteries. If you insert two
batteries and set the switch to 2BATT, the power supply module defines one of the two batteries
as the backup battery. This assignment remains in force until the battery is empty. When the
backup battery is completely empty, the system switches to the reserve battery, which in turn is
used as the backup battery for the duration of its life. The "Backup battery" status is also stored
across a power failure.

Battery type
Only batteries approved by Siemens may be used (see Appendix C: Spare parts (Page 365))
The batteries can form a passivation layer. Depassivation takes place after insertion into the
power supply module.

Weights
Weight, approx. 25 g

Buffer times
The maximum buffer time results from the capacity of the backup battery(ies) used and the
backup current in the rack. The latter is the sum of the individual currents of the plugged-in
battery-backed modules plus the power supply module's own current draw when the power is
OFF.

Example for calculation of buffer times


The capacity of the batteries is listed in the technical specifications of the respective power
supply, and the typical and maximum backup current of the battery-backed module in the
technical specifications of the module.
The typical backup current of a CPU is an empirically determined value, and the
maximum backup current is a worst-case value determined by summing the corresponding
manufacturer specifications of the memory blocks.
Thus, for a central rack with a PS 407 10A (6ES7407-0KA02-0AA0) and a CPU 410-5H
(6ES7410-5HX08-0AB0) as the only battery-backed module, buffer times result from the
following technical specifications:
• Capacity of the backup battery: 2.3 Ah
• Maximum backup current (own draw when power is OFF) of the power supply: 120 µA
• Typical backup current of the CPU 410-5H: 370 µA to 40 °C
Since a load is placed on the backup battery by the periodic depassivation at power ON,
100% of the nominal capacity should not be assumed when calculating the buffer time.
A battery capacity of 63% of the nominal capacity results in the following calculation:
Buffer time = 2.3 Ah * 0.63 / (120 + 370)µA = (1.449 / 490) * 1 000 000 = 2957 h
This results in a maximum buffer time of 123 days.

3.4 Operator controls and indicators

Introduction
The power supply modules of the S7-400 have essentially the same controls and indicators. The
main differences are:
• Power supply modules with a backup battery have an LED (BATTF) that indicates an empty,
defective, or missing backup battery.
• Power supply modules with two redundant backup batteries have two LEDs (BATT1F and
BATT2F) to indicate empty, defective or missing backup battery.

Operator controls and indicators


The figure shows you an example of a power supply module (PS 407 20A) with two (redundant)
backup batteries. The LEDs are at the top left of the module front plate.

Backup voltage to the backplane bus


The backup voltage is either supplied by the backup battery or fed externally into the CPU or
receiver IM. In its normal state, the level of the backup voltage is between 2.7 V and 3.6 V.
The backup voltage is monitored at the lower limit. Violation of the lower limit is indicated by
the BAF LED and reported to the CPU.

BAF lights up if the backup voltage on the backplane bus is too low. Possible causes of this
include:
• Battery (batteries) empty or battery polarity has been reversed.
• External supply via CPU or receive IM is defective or supply from secondary power supply
module is defective or missing.
• Short-circuit or overload on the battery voltage.
Note
Due to internal capacities, if you remove the battery or switch off the external supply, some
time may elapse before BAF, BATT1F, or BATT2F lights up.

3.5 Fault/Error messages via LEDs

In the event of short-circuit or overload, the power supply modules listed below switch off
after 1 s to 3 s. After 3 s at the latest, the module attempts a hot restart. If the error has been
eliminated by then, the module starts up. This applies to the modules:

Modules
PS 405 4A (6ES7405-0DA02-0AA0) PS 407 4A (6ES7407-0DA02-0AA0)
PS 405 10A (6ES7405-0KA02-0AA0) PS 407 10A (6ES7407-0KA02-0AA0)
PS 405 10A R (6ES7405-0KR02-0AA0) PS 407 10A R (6ES7407-0KR02-0AA0)
PS 405 20A (6ES7405-0RA02-0AA0) PS 407 20A (6ES7407-0RA02-0AA0)

Overload at 24 V
In the event of overload at 24 V, the output current is electronically limited to a value between
100 and 150% of the nominal value. If this causes the voltage to fall below the undervoltage
threshold of 19.2 V (-0/+5% corresponds to 19.2 to 20.16 V), the modules behave as follows:
• In the case of the power supply modules, the 24 V voltage is switched off and then switched
on again every 0.5 to 1 s until an output voltage above the undervoltage threshold is
established.
• In the case of the 6ES740x-0KR00-0AA0 and 6ES740x-0KR01-0AA0 power supply modules,
the voltage adjusts itself according to the load resistance; the module operates according to
its characteristic curve.
After the overload has been eliminated, the voltage returns to the nominal range and the
green 24 V LED flashes. The CPU sets the EXTF LED (external fault) and saves the fault in the
diagnostic buffer. Further reactions such as CPU STOP or message to a control room may be
triggered in OB 81 "Power supply error". If no OB 81 is configured, the CPU continues to run
normally.

Overload at 5 V
In the event of an overload at 5 V, the power supply modules with 10 A or 20 A output current
can maintain an output current of 16 A or 26 A for 300 ms. The power supply modules with 4
A output current can maintain an output current of 6 A for 300 ms. After that the CPU changes
to DEFECTIVE state. If the DC 5 V LED at the power supply flashes and can be reset with the FMR
button, you can execute a hot restart. Afterwards, the CPU remains in STOP and requests a
memory reset.

4.3 Assigning parameters to digital modules

4.2 Steps in selecting and commissioning the digital module

Introduction
The following table contains the tasks that you have to perform one after the other to
commission digital modules successfully.
The sequence of steps is a suggestion, but you can perform individual steps either earlier
or later (for example, assign parameters to the module) or install, commission etc. other
modules in between times.

4.3 Assigning parameters to digital modules

4.3.1 Parameters

Introduction
Digital modules may have different features. You can configure the features of some modules.

Tools for parameter assignment


You assign parameters to digital modules in STEP 7.
After you have defined all parameters, download these from your programming device to the
CPU. On a transition from STOP > RUN mode, the CPU then transfers the parameters to the
individual digital modules.

Static and dynamic parameters


The parameters are divided into static and dynamic parameters.

S7-400 Automation System Module Data


Reference Manual, 04/2023, A5E00850736-AL 79
Digital modules
4.3 Assigning parameters to digital modules

Static parameters are passed to digital modules after a STOP > RUN transition of the CPU, as
described above.
You may also edit dynamic parameters in the active user program of an S7 PLC using SFCs.
However, the parameters set in STEP 7 will be applied again after a RUN > STOP, STOP > RUN
transition of the CPU. You will find a description of the parameter assignment of modules in
the user program in the Appendix.

Configuration in RUN (CiR)


CiR (Configuration in RUN) is a method you can use to modify your system or edit the parameters
of individual modules. These changes are made while your system is in operation, that is, your
CPU will stay in RUN over a maximum of 2.5 seconds while these changes are applied.
For detailed information on this topic, refer to the "Configuration in RUN by means of CiR"
manual. This manual is found, for example, as a file in PDF format on the STEP 7 CD supplied.

4.4 Diagnostics for digital modules

4.4.1 General information about diagnostic messages

Programmable and non-programmable diagnostic messages


Using the diagnostics function, we make a distinction between programmable and non-
programmable diagnostic messages.

S7-400 Automation System Module Data


82 Reference Manual, 04/2023, A5E00850736-AL
Digital modules
4.4 Diagnostics for digital modules

You only obtain programmable diagnostic messages if you have enabled the diagnostics
using the relevant parameters. You perform parameter assignment in the "Diagnostics" tab in
STEP 7, see section 6.7.
Digital modules always return non-programmable diagnostic messages, irrespective of
diagnostics being enabled.

Reactions to diagnostic messages in STEP 7


Actions initiated by diagnostic messages:
• The diagnostic message is entered in the diagnostics of the digital module, forwarded to the
CPU and can be read out by the user program.
• The fault LED on the digital module lights up.
• If you have set "Enable diagnostic interrupt" in STEP 7, a diagnostic interrupt is triggered and
OB 82 is called, see section 5.5.

Reading diagnostic messages


You can read detailed diagnostic messages using SFCs in the user program (refer to the appendix
"Diagnostic data of signal modules").
You can view the cause of the error in STEP 7 in the module diagnostics (refer to the online
help for STEP 7).

Diagnostics using the INTF and EXTF LEDs


Some digital modules indicate faults by means of their two fault LEDs INTF (internal fault) and
EXTF (external fault). The LEDs go out when all the internal and external faults have been
eliminated.
Refer to the specifications of the modules beginning with section 5.7 to find out which digital
modules have these fault LEDs.

4.5 Interrupts of the digital modules

4.5 Interrupts of the digital modules

Introduction
This section describes the interrupt behavior of the digital modules. There are two types of
interrupt:
• Diagnostic interrupt
• Hardware interrupt
Note that not all digital modules have interrupt capability or they are only capable of a
subset of the interrupts described here. For information on the digital modules that support
interrupts, refer to their specifications.
For detailed information on the OBs and SFCs mentioned below, refer to the STEP 7 Online
Help.

Enabling interrupts
The interrupts are not preset - in other words, they are inhibited without appropriate parameter
assignment. Interrupts are enabled in STEP 7.

Special feature: The module is inserted in ER-1/ER-2

Note
If you use the digital module in ER-1/ER-2, you must set the parameters for enabling all the
interrupts to "No" because the interrupt lines are not available in ER-1/ER-2.

Diagnostic interrupt
When diagnostic interrupts are enabled, incoming error events (initial occurrence) and outgoing
error events (error is cleared) are reported by means of an interrupt.
The CPU interrupts user program execution, and executes diagnostic interrupt OB82.
In the user program, you can call SFC 51 or SFC 59 in OB 82 to obtain more detailed
diagnostic information from the module.
The diagnostic information is consistent until such time as OB 82 is exited. When OB 82 is
exited, the diagnostic interrupt is acknowledged on the module.

Hardware interrupt
A digital input module can trigger a hardware interrupt for each channel at a rising or falling
edge, or both, of a signal status change.
You perform parameter assignment for each channel separately. The parameters can be
changed at any time (in RUN mode in the user program.)

S7-400 Automation System Module Data


Reference Manual, 04/2023, A5E00850736-AL 87
Digital modules
4.5 Interrupts of the digital modules

Pending hardware interrupts trigger hardware interrupt processing in the CPU (OB 40 to OB
47). The CPU interrupts the execution of the user program or the priority classes with low
priority.
In the user program of the hardware interrupt OB (OB 40 to OB 47) you can specify how the
programmable controller is to respond to an edge change. The module acknowledges the
hardware interrupt when the program exits the hardware interrupt OB.
For each channel the digital input module can buffer an interrupt that has not been
triggered. If no run levels of a higher priority class are pending processing, the CPU processes
the buffered interrupts (of all modules) in the order of their occurrence.

Hardware interrupt lost


A "Hardware interrupt lost" diagnostics interrupt is generated, if a successive interrupt occurs at
the same channel before the CPU has processed the previously buffered interrupt.
The CPU does not register any further interrupts at this channel unless it has completed
processing of the stacked interrupts of the same channel.

Interrupt-triggering channels
The interrupt-triggering channels are stored in the local data of the hardware interrupt OBs (in
the start information of the corresponding OB). The start information is two words long (bits 0
to 31). The bit number is the channel number. Bits 16 to 31 are not assigned.

The standard for BEROs (EN 60947-5-2) specifies that there can be a current of ≤ 1.5 mA for
BEROs in the "0" signal state.
The input current of the module in the "0" signal state is decisive for the operation of 2-wire
BEROs. This must be in accordance with BERO requirements.

If you use the module in ER-1/ER-2, you must set this parameter to "No" because the interrupt lines are not available in ER-1/
ER-2.

Only in the CR (central rack) is it possible to start up the digital modules with the default settings.

Allocating the sensor supplies to channel groups


The two sensor supplies of the module are used to supply two channel groups: Inputs 0 to 7 and
inputs 8 to 15. You also configure diagnostics for the sensor supply at those two channel groups.

Ensuring a wire break check is carried out


To ensure that a wire break check is carried out, you require an external sensor circuit using a
resistor of 10 to 18 kΩ. The resistor should be connected parallel to the contact and should be
arranged as closely as possible to the sensor.

S7-400 Automation System Module Data


Reference Manual, 04/2023, A5E00850736-AL 101
Digital modules
4.8 Digital input module SM 421; DI 16 x DC 24 V (6ES7421-7BH01-0AB0)

This additional resistor is not required in the following cases:


• If 2-wire BEROs are used
• If you do no configure the "Wire break" diagnostics

Setting the input delay for channel groups


You can only set the input delay for each group of channels. In other words, the setting for
channel 0 applies to inputs 0 to 7 and the setting for channel 8 applies to inputs 8 to 15.

Note
The parameters that are entered for the remaining channels (1 to 7 and 9 to 15) must be equal
to the value 0 or 8, otherwise those channels will be reported as being incorrectly configured.
Any hardware interrupts that have occurred in the meantime will be reported after
acknowledgement.

Optimum signal propagation delays


You can achieve the fastest signal propagation delay with the following settings:
• Both channel groups are configured with an input delay of 50 µs
• All the diagnoses (load voltage error, wire break) are deactivated
• Diagnostic interrupt is not enabled

4.8.3 Behavior of the SM 421; DI 16 x DC 24 V

Effect of operating mode and supply voltage on the input values


The input values of the SM 421; DI 16 x 24 DC depend on the operating mode of the CPU and on
the supply voltage of the module.

Table 4-9 Relationships of the analog input values on the CPU's operating state and on the L+
supply voltage

POWER ON RUN L+ present Process value
L+ missing 0 signal*
STOP L+ present Process value
L+ missing 0 signal*
POWER OFF - L+ present -
L+ missing -
* Depends on the parameter assignment

Reaction to failure of the supply voltage


Failure of the supply voltage of the SM 421; DI 16 x 24 DC is always indicated by the EXTF LED
on the module. This information is also available on the module (entry in diagnostic data.)
Diagnostics interrupt triggering is based on parameter settings.

Short-circuit at the sensor supply Vs


The relevant Vs LED goes dark if a short-circuit is detected at the sensor supply Vs, irrespective
of parameter settings.

Effect of errors and parameter assignment on the input values


The input values of the SM 421; DI 16 x 24 DC are affected by certain errors and the parameter
assignment of the module. The following table lists the effects on the input values.
You can find more diagnostic messages in the Appendix "Diagnostic Data of the Signal
Modules".

Behavior when the input delay equals 0.1 ms or 0.05 ms and an error occurs
If you have set the following parameters:
• Input delay: 0.1 ms or 0.05 ms
• Reaction to error: "Keep Last Value" (KLV) or "Substitute Value" (SV)
• Set substitution value "1"
In the event of a fault on a channel that has a 1 signal, the following could occur:
• A 0 signal may be briefly output
• If configured, a hardware interrupt may be generated.
This occurs before the last valid value or substitute value "1" is output.

1
If you use the module in ER-1/ER-2, you must set this parameter to "No" because the interrupt lines are not available in ER-1/
ER-2.
2
Only in the CR (central rack) is it possible to start up the digital modules with the default settings.
3
If you assign 0.5 ms , then you should not configure diagnostics because the internal processing time for diagnostic functions
can be > 0.5 ms.

Ensuring a wire break check is carried out


To ensure that a wire break check is carried out, you require an external sensor circuit using a
resistor of 18 to 56 kΩ. The resistor should be connected parallel to the contact and should be
arranged as closely as possible to the sensor.
This additional resistor is not required in the following cases:
• If 2-wire BEROs are used
• If you do no configure the "Wire Break" diagnostics

Setting the input delay for channel groups


You can only set the input delay for each group of channels. In other words, the setting for
channel 0 applies to inputs 0 to 7 and the setting for channel 8 applies to inputs 8 to 15.

Note
The parameters that are entered for the remaining channels (1 to 7 and 9 to 15) must be equal
to the value 0 or 8, otherwise those channels will be reported as being incorrectly configured.
Any hardware interrupts that have occurred in the meantime will be reported after
acknowledgement.

Optimum signal propagation delays


You can achieve the fastest signal propagation delay with the following settings:
• Both channel groups are configured with an input delay of 0.5 ms
• The diagnostics parameter is disabled
• The diagnostic interrupt parameter is disabled

5.4 Representation of analog values

5.4.1 General information

Introduction
This chapter describes the analog values for all measuring or output ranges supported by the
analog modules.

Analog to digital conversion


Analog input modules convert the analog process signal into digital form.
Analog output modules convert digital output values to analog signals.

5.4 Representation of analog values

Representation of analog values at a resolution of 16 bits


The digitized analog value applies to input and output values of the same nominal range. Analog
values are output as real numbers in two's complement. The resulting assignment:

Bit 15 14 13 12 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0
Bit values 2 15

2 9
2 8
2 7
2 6
2 5
2 4
2 3
2 2
2 1
20

Bit 15 can be interpreted as a sign


The sign of the analog value is always set at bit 15:
• "0" → +
• "1" → -

Resolution less than 16 bits


On analog modules with a resolution of less than 16 bits, the analog value is stored left-
justified. The unused least significant bit positions are padded with "0".

Example
The example below demonstrates the "0" padding of unused bit positions for low resolution
values.

Table 5-4 Example: Bit pattern of a 16-bit and 13-bit analog value

Resolution Analog value


Bit 15 14 13 12 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0

5.4 Representation of analog values

5.4.2 Representation of analog values of analog input channels

Introduction
The tables in this section contain the measured value representations for the various measuring
ranges of the analog input modules. The values in the tables apply to all modules with the
corresponding measuring ranges.

Notes for readers of the tables


The tables "Bipolar input ranges", "Unipolar input ranges", "Life-zero input ranges" contain the
binary representation of the measured values.
The binary representation of the measured values is always the same, so the analog
representation tables only compare the measuring ranges and the units.

Measured value resolution


The resolution of the analog values may differ, based on the analog module and module
parameters. At resolutions < 16 bits, all bits identified by "x" are set to "0".

Note
This resolution does not apply to temperature values. The converted temperature values are the
result of a conversion in the analog module (see tables for analog representation of resistance
thermometer and for thermometer elements).

5.4 Representation of analog values

5.4.9 Representation of analog values for analog output channels

Introduction
The tables in this section contain the analog value representation for output channels of the
analog output modules. The values in the tables apply to all modules with the corresponding
output ranges.

Notes for readers of the tables


The tables "Bipolar output ranges", "Unipolar output ranges", "Life-zero output ranges" contain
the binary representation of the measured values.
Since the binary representation of the output values is always the same, starting with the
table at "Representation of Analog Values in the Voltage Output Range ± 10 V" these tables
only contain the output ranges and the units.

Binary representation of output ranges


The input ranges shown in tables "Bipolar output ranges", "Unipolar output ranges", "Life-zero
output ranges" are defined in complementary 2-by-2 representation:

channels

Two procedures
There are two procedures for setting the measuring method and ranges of analog input
channels of analog modules:
• With a measuring range module and STEP 7
• By hardwiring the analog input channel, and programming in STEP 7
The method to use for the various analog modules is module-specific, and described in detail
in the relevant module sections.
The procedure for setting the measuring method and measuring range of the module in STEP
7 is described in the respective sections.
This section describes how to set the measuring method and range using measuring range
modules.

Setting the measuring method and range using measuring range modules
Analog modules are supplied with measuring range modules as required.
Reposition the measuring range modules to suit the measuring method and range.

Note
Make sure that the measuring range modules are on the side of the analog input module.
Before you install the analog input module, check the measuring method and range of the
measuring range modules, and adapt these as required.

Optional settings of the measuring range modules


Optional settings of the measuring range modules are: "A", "B", "C" and "D".
For detailed information on specific measuring method and range settings, refer to the
relevant module section.
The settings for the various measuring methods and ranges are also shown on the printed
label of the analog module.

5.6.4 Effect of operational limit and basic error limit

Operational limit
The operational limit represents the measuring error, or output error, of an analog module
across the entire permissible temperature range of the module, based on the module's nominal
range.

Basic error limit


The basic error limit represents the operational limit at 25° C, based on the module's nominal
range.

Note
The percentage details of operational and basic error limits in the specifications of the modules
always refer to the highest possible input and output value in the nominal range of the module.
In the ± 10 V measurement range this would be the 10 V.

Example of determination of the output error of a module


An analog output module SM 432; AO 8 x 13 Bit is being used for voltage output. An output
range of "±10 V" is set. The module is operating at an ambient temperature of 30° C, i.e. the
operational limit applies. The specifications of the module state:
• Operational limit for voltage output: ±0,5 %
Hence, an output error of ±0.05 V (±0.5 % of 10 V) across the nominal range of the module
must be expected.
This means that with an actual voltage of, say, 1 V, a value in the range from 0.95 V to 1.05 V
is output by the module. The relative error is ±5 % in this case.
For the example, the figure below shows how the relative error decreases as the output value
approaches the end of the 10V range.

5.7 Conversion, cycle, settling and response time of analog modules

5.7 Conversion, cycle, settling and response time of analog modules

Conversion time of analog input channels


The conversion time is the total of the basic conversion time plus additional processing times of
the module for:
• Resistance measurement
• Wire break monitoring
The basic conversion time depends directly on the conversion method of the analog input
channel (integrating method, actual value conversion.)
The integration time of integrating conversions has a direct influence on conversion times.
The integration time depends on the interference frequency suppression you set in STEP 7.
For information on basic conversion times and additional processing times of the various
analog modules, refer to the specifications of the relevant module.

Cycle time of analog input channels


The analog/digital conversion and the transfer of the digitized measured values to memory or
to the backplane bus take place sequentially. In other words, the analog input channels are
converted one after the other. The scan time - in other words, the time elapsing until an analog
input value is again converted - is the sum of the conversion times of all activated analog input
channels of the analog input module.
The figure below provides an overview of the cycle time elements for an n-channel analog
module.

Conversion time, channel 2

Conversion time, channel 3

Basic execution time of the analog input channels


The basic execution time corresponds to the cycle time for all the enabled channels.

Setting of the smoothing of analog values


You can set the smoothing of the analog values in STEP 7 for some analog input modules.

Reference Manual, 04/2023, A5E00850736-AL 175
Analog modules
5.7 Conversion, cycle, settling and response time of analog modules

Use of smoothing
Smoothing of analog values ensures a stable analog signal for further processing.
It makes sense to smooth the analog values with slow variations of measured values, for
example, with temperature measurements.

Smoothing principle
The measured values are smoothed by digital filtering. Smoothing is accomplished by the
module calculating mean values, derived from a defined number of converted (digitized) analog
values.
The user assigns parameters to smoothing with a maximum of four levels (none, weak,
medium, strong). The grade determines the number of analog signals used for averaging.
A higher smoothing provides a more reliable analog value, and prolongs the time it takes to
apply a smoothed analog signal following a step response (see the example below.)

Example
The figure below shows the number of cycles a module requires to apply an almost 100% analog
value after a step response, based on the smoothing function settings. The figure applies to all
signal changes at the analog input.

features to observe, refer to the section dealing with the analog input module.

176 Reference Manual, 04/2023, A5E00850736-AL
Analog modules
5.7 Conversion, cycle, settling and response time of analog modules

Conversion time of the analog output channels


The conversion time of the analog output channels includes the transfer of digitized output
values from internal memory, and their digital-to-analog conversion.

Cycle time of analog output channels


The analog output channels are converted sequentially - that is the analog output channels are
converted one after the other.
The cycle time - that is the time expiring until an analog output value is converted again,
is equivalent to the accumulated conversion times of all activated analog output channels.
Refer to the figure "Cycle Time of an Analog Input/Output Channel".

Basic execution time of the analog output channels


The basic execution time corresponds to the cycle time for all the enabled channels.

Note
You should disable any analog channels that are not being used to reduce the scan time in STEP
7.

t1 = New output value is present

Settling time
The settling time (t2 to t3) - that is the time from the application of the converted value until the
specified value is obtained at the analog output - depends on the load. We therefore distinguish
between resistive, capacitive and inductive load.
For information on settling times as a function of load at the various analog output modules,
refer to the specifications of the relevant module.

5.8 Assigning parameters to analog modules

Response time
The response time (t1 to t3) - that is the time from the application of the digital output values in
internal memory until the specified value is obtained at the analog output - is, in the most
unfavorable case, the sum of the cycle time and the settling time.
The worst case scenario is given, when the analog channel has been converted immediately
before a new output value is transferred, and is not converted again until all other channels
have been converted (cycle time.)

5.8 Assigning parameters to analog modules

5.8.1 General information about parameter assignment

Introduction
The characteristics of analog modules may differ. The characteristics of the modules can be
defined by assigning parameters.

Tools for parameter assignment


You program analog modules in STEP 7.
After you have defined all parameters, download these from your programming device to the
CPU. The CPU transfers the parameters to the relevant analog modules at the STOP > RUN
transition.

Static and dynamic parameters


The parameters are divided into static and dynamic parameters.
Set the static parameters in STOP mode of the CPU, as described above.
You may also edit dynamic parameters in the active user program of an S7 PLC using SFCs.
However, the parameters set in STEP 7 will be applied again after a RUN > STOP, STOP > RUN
transition of the CPU. You will find a description of the parameter assignment of modules in
the user program in the Appendix.

Configuration in RUN (CiR)


CiR (Configuration in RUN) is a method you can use to modify your system or edit the parameters
of individual modules. These changes are made while your system is in operation, that is, your
CPU will stay in RUN over a maximum of 2.5 seconds while these changes are applied.

5.9 Connecting sensors to analog inputs

5.9 Connecting sensors to analog inputs

Introduction
The analog input modules support various sensors, such as voltage/current sensors, and
resistors, depending on the set measuring method.
This section contains general information that is generally applicable to all the connection
options for sensors described in the sections that follow.

Cables for analog signals


Always use shielded twisted-pair cables to wire analog signals. This reduces interference.
Connect both ends of the analog cable shield to ground.
If there are potential differences between the cable ends, an equipotential bonding current,
which can flow over the shield, can cause interference of the analog signals. To avoid this
situation, you should ground the shield only at one end of the cable.

Non-isolated analog input modules


In the case of the non-isolated analog input modules there is an electrical connection between
the reference point of the measuring circuit MANA and chassis ground.
You use non-isolated analog modules if there are few or no potential differences between the
measuring sensors and chassis ground.

Isolated analog input modules


With the isolated analog input modules there is no electrical connection between the reference
point of the measuring circuit MANA and chassis ground.
You use isolated analog input modules if a potential difference UISO can occur between
the reference point of the measuring circuit MANA and chassis ground. By means of an
equipotential bonding conductor between the MANA terminal and chassis ground, make sure
that UISO does not exceed the permitted value.

Limited potential difference UCM


Only a limited potential difference UCM (common mode voltage) may occur amongst the M-
measuring lines of the input channels and between the leads and the reference point of the
measuring circuit MANA. In order to prevent the permissible value from being exceeded, you must
take different actions, described below, depending on the potential connection of the sensors.

Connecting electrically isolated sensors


The isolated sensors are not connected with the local ground potential (chassis ground). They
can be floating.
With isolated sensors, potential differences might arise between the different sensors. These
potential differences can arise as a result of interference or the local distribution of the
sensors.

The 2-wire sensor is wired to a short-circuit-proof supply voltage at the terminals of the

current.
Because the 2-wire transducer is supplied by the module, you must not ground the M- cables.

The cables required to connect the analog input module and the sensors are not drawn in the

In other words, you must continue to read and follow the instructions in the section "Connecting
sensors to analog inputs", which contains general information on connecting sensors.

Resistance thermometers/resistors are wired in 2-, 3- or 4-wire technique.


With 4-conductor and 3-conductor connections, the module supplies a constant current
via terminals IC + and IC - so that the potential drop occurring on the measuring cables is
compensated. It is imperative to wire the constant current cables directly to the resistance
thermometer/resistor.
Compensated measurements with 3- or 4-wire elements return a more precise result
compared to 2-wire measurements.

4-conductor connection of a resistance thermometer


The voltage generated at the resistance thermometer is measured via the M+ and M- terminals.
When you connect, watch out for the polarity of the connected cable (connect IC + and M+ as well
as IC- and M- to the resistance thermometer).
Make sure that the connected cables IC + and M+ andSO and SE+ and cables IC - and M- and

5.13 Connecting thermocouples

Thermocouple design
Thermocouples consist of a pair of thermal probes, and all necessary installation and connecting
parts. The thermocouple consists of two wires of dissimilar metals or metal alloys soldered or
welded together at the ends.
There are different types of thermocouple, depending on the composition of the material
used, for example, K, J, N thermocouples. The measuring principle of all thermocouples is
the same, irrespective of their type.

Figure 5-15 Thermocouple design

Operating principle of thermocouples


If the measuring point is subjected to a temperature different from that of the free ends of the
thermocouple (point of connection), a voltage, the thermo e.m.f., occurs at the free ends. The
magnitude of the thermo-e.m.f. generated depends on the difference between the temperature
at the measuring junction and the temperature at the free ends, as well as on the material
combination used for the thermocouple.
Since a thermocouple always measures a temperature difference, the free ends must be kept
at a known temperature at a reference junction in order to determine the temperature of the
measuring junction.

S7-400 Automation System Module Data


192 Reference Manual, 04/2023, A5E00850736-AL
Analog modules
5.13 Connecting thermocouples

The thermocouples can be extended from their point of connection to the reference junction
by means of compensating wires. These compensating wires are made of the same materials
as the thermocouple wires. The supply lines are made of copper.

Note
Make sure that the polarity is correct, otherwise significant measuring errors will occur.

Compensation of the reference junction temperature


There are several options for you to choose from for acquiring the reference junction
temperature in order to obtain an absolute temperature value from the difference in
temperature between the reference junction and measuring point.
You can use internal or external compensation, depending on where you want the reference
junction to be.
The last column of the following table lists the feature you must set for the "Reference
Junction" parameter in STEP 7. The reference temperature value is a separate parameter in
STEP 7.

Principle of operation of internal compensation


Internal compensation allows you to form the reference point at the terminals of the analog
input module. In this case, route the compensating lines directly to the analog module. The
internal temperature sensor measures the module's temperature and returns a compensation
voltage.

Analog modules
5.13 Connecting thermocouples

Note: internal compensation is not as accurate as external compensation.

Principle of operation of external compensation with compensating box


If you employ external compensation, the temperature of the reference junction of the
thermocouples is taken into account via a compensating box, for example.
The compensating box contains a bridge circuit calibrated for a definite reference junction
temperature. The reference junction is formed by the connecting ends of the thermocouple's
compensating lines.
The resistance of the temperature-sensitive bridge changes as a function of the difference
between the actual reference temperature and calibrating temperature. This difference
induces a positive or negative compensating voltage, which is added to the thermal voltage.

Note
The diagrams below do not show the connecting lines required for connecting the electrical
potentials of the analog input module and the sensors. This means that you must still read and
follow the instructions in the generally applicable information on connecting sensors.

Connection of thermocouples without compensation or using the reference temperature value


Wire the thermocouples either directly to the inputs of the module, or indirectly via
compensating lines. Each channel can use a thermocouple type supported by the analog
module independently of the other channels.

5.13 Connecting thermocouples

Connecting the compensating box


The compensating box is looped in through the leads of each thermocouple. The compensating
box must be supplied on an isolated basis. The power supply module must provide adequate
noise filtering, for example, by means of grounded cable shielding.
Each channel can use a thermocouple type supported by the analog module independently
of the other channels. Each channel requires its own compensating box.

Note
Use compensating boxes with a reference junction temperature of 0° C for analog input
modules.

Connecting thermocouples using resistance thermometers


Connect the resistance thermometer to channel 0 of the module. Make sure that you configure
the "RTD on Channel 0" reference junction in STEP 7 for each channel that has a thermocouple
connected to it.
If all thermocouples connected to the module's inputs share a common reference junction,
compensate the circuit as follows:

5.14 Connecting loads/actuators to analog outputs

Introduction
The analog output modules can be used to supply power to loads and actuators.
This section contains general information that is generally applicable to all the connection
options for loads and actuators described in the sections that follow.

Cables for analog signals


Always use shielded twisted-pair cables to wire analog signals. Form two twisted pairs of the QV
and S+, and M and S- signals. This reduces interference. Connect both ends of the analog cable
shield to ground.
If there are potential differences between the cable ends, an equipotential bonding current,
which can flow over the shield, can cause interference of the analog signals. To avoid this
situation, you should ground the shield only at one end of the cable.

Isolated analog output modules


With the isolated analog output modules there is no electrical connection between the reference
point of the measuring circuit MANA and chassis ground.
You must use isolated analog output modules if a potential difference UISO can occur between
the reference point of the measuring circuit MANA and chassis ground. By means of an
equipotential bonding conductor between the MANA terminal and chassis ground, make sure
that UISO does not exceed the permitted value.

Connecting loads to a voltage output


Connecting loads to a voltage output is possible both in a 4-conductor and a 2-conductor
connection.

Note
The cables required to connect the analog output module are not drawn in the figures shown
below.
In other words, you must continue to read and follow the instructions in the section "Connecting
loads/actuators to analog outputs", which contains general information on connecting sensors.

4-conductor connection of loads to a voltage output


You can use the 4-wire technique to achieve a high accuracy at the load by wiring the S- and S+
sensor lines directly to the load. This results in direct measurement and correction of the voltage
at the load.
Faults or a voltage drop can result in a potential difference between the sensor lead S-
and the reference circuit of the analog circuit MANA. This potential difference (UCM) must not
exceed the permissible value. A negative influence on the accuracy of the analog signal is
otherwise inevitable.

5.17 Diagnostics functions of analog modules

5.17 Diagnostics functions of analog modules

Programmable and non-programmable diagnostic messages


We distinguish between programmable and non-programmable diagnostic messages.
You only obtain programmable diagnostic messages if you have enabled the diagnostics
using the relevant parameters. You perform parameter assignment in the "Diagnostics" tab in
STEP 7.
The analog module always provides non-programmable diagnostic messages, irrespective of
the enable state of diagnostics functions.

Reactions to diagnostic messages in STEP 7


Actions initiated by diagnostic messages:
• The diagnostic message is entered in the diagnostics of the analog module, forwarded to the
CPU and can be read out by the user program.
• The error LED on the analog module is lit.
• If you have set "Enable Diagnostic Interrupt" in STEP 7, a diagnostic interrupt is triggered and
OB 82 is called.

Reading diagnostic messages


You can read detailed diagnostic messages using SFCs in the user program (refer to the appendix
"Diagnostic data of signal modules").
You can view the cause of the error in STEP 7 in the module diagnostics (refer to the online
help for STEP 7).

Diagnostic message in the measured value of analog input modules


All analog input modules return the measured value 7FFFH as a reaction to errors, irrespective of
parameter settings. This measured value indicates either overflow, error, or a disabled channel.

Diagnostics using the INTF and EXTF LEDs


Some analog input modules indicate faults by means of their two fault LEDs INTF (internal fault)
and EXTF (external fault). The LEDs go out when all the internal and external faults have been
eliminated.
Refer to the specifications of the modules to find out which analog input modules have these
fault LEDs.

Diagnostic messages of the analog input modules


The table below gives an overview of the diagnostic messages for the analog input modules with
diagnostics capability.

5.18 Interrupts of analog modules

5.18 Interrupts of analog modules

Introduction
This section describes the interrupt reaction of analog modules. There are two types of interrupt:
• Diagnostic interrupt
• Hardware interrupt
Note: certain analog modules do not support interrupts, or can only partially "handle" the
interrupts described below. For information on modules supporting interrupt functions, refer
to their specifications.
For detailed information on the OBs and SFCs mentioned below, refer to the STEP 7 Online
Help.

Enabling interrupts
The interrupts are not preset - in other words, they are inhibited without appropriate parameter
assignment. Interrupts are enabled in STEP 7.

Special feature: The module is inserted in ER-1/ER-2

Note
If you use the analog module in ER-1/ER-2, you must set the parameters for the input of all the
interrupts to "No" because the interrupt lines are not available in ER-1/ER-2.

Diagnostic interrupt
When diagnostic interrupts are enabled, incoming error events (initial occurrence) and outgoing
error events (error is cleared) are reported by means of an interrupt.
The CPU interrupts user program execution, and executes diagnostic interrupt OB82.
In the user program, you can call SFC 51 or SFC 59 in OB 82 to obtain more detailed
diagnostic information from the module.
The diagnostic information is consistent until such time as OB 82 is exited. When OB 82 is
exited, the diagnostic interrupt is acknowledged on the module.

Hardware interrupt with trigger "high and low limit exceeded"


Define a working range by setting a high and low limit. If the process signal (for example, the
temperature) leaves this working range, the module triggers a hardware interrupt, provided the
interrupt is enabled.
As a result, the CPU interrupts execution of the user program and executes hardware
interrupt OB 40.
In the user program of OB 40, you can set how the programmable controller is required to
react to a limit value being surpassed or not being reached.

5.18 Interrupts of analog modules

When OB 40 is exited, the hardware interrupt is acknowledged on the module.

Note
Note: the system does not generate a hardware interrupt if your limit setting exceeds the
overshoot or undershoot range.

Structure of the start information tag OB40_POINT_ADDR of OB 40


The limit values exceeded by the different channels are entered in the start information of OB 40
in the tag OB40_POINT_ADDR. The figure below shows the assignment of bits in DWORD 8 of
local data.

Hardware interrupt triggered by "Reached end of scan cycle"


A hardware interrupt programmed to be triggered at the end of scan cycles allows you to
synchronize a process with the scan cycle of the analog input module.
A scan cycle includes the conversion of the measured values of all active channels of the
analog input module. The module processes the channels in succession. When all measured
values are successfully converted, the module reports the existence of new measurement
data at its channels to the CPU by means of an interrupt.
You can always use this interrupt to load the actual, converted analog values.

5.19.3 Measuring methods and measuring ranges of SM 431; AI 8 x 13 Bit

Measuring methods
You can set the measuring method at the input channels:
• Voltage measurement
• Current measurement
• Resistance measurement
You perform the setting with the "measuring method" parameter in STEP 7.

Circuit for resistance measurement


The following conditions apply when measuring the resistance with the SM 431; AI 8 x 13 Bit:

Table 5-46 Channels for resistance measurement of the SM 431; AI 8 x 13 Bit

Measuring type parameter Permissible Condition


for channel n
Resistance 0, 2, 4 or 6 You must disable the "Measuring type" parameter for channels n+1 (1, 3, 5,
(4-conductor connection) 7).
Reason: The connections of channel n+1 are used to supply the resistance
that is connected to channel n.

Unused channels
Unused channels can be left open. You can improve the noise immunity of the module in a
measuring environment with serious interference by short-circuiting the channels and
connecting to MANA. For unused channels, set the "measuring method" parameter to
"deactivated". This reduces the module's cycle time.

Measuring ranges
Set the measuring ranges at the "measuring range" parameter in STEP 7.

Setting the operating mode


You set the mode of operation of the SM 431; AI 8 x 14 Bit by means of measuring range modules
on the module and in STEP 7.

Measuring range modules


A measuring range module of the module matches two channels and one resistance channel to
each type of sensor. Reposition the measuring range modules to suit the measuring method and
range. The steps you have to perform to do this are described in detail in the respective section.
For an overview of the settings of specific measuring methods and ranges, refer to the

Measuring methods
You can set the measuring method at the input channels:
• Voltage measurement
• Current measurement
• Resistance measurement
• Temperature measurement
You specify the setting by means of the measuring range modules on the module and the
"Measuring type" parameter in STEP 7.

Circuit variants for the channels


Two channels are set in each case with the measuring range module. There are therefore
restrictions as regards the measuring method for the adjacent channels 0/1, 2/3, 4/5 and 6/7, as
shown in the following table:

Circuit for resistance measurement

431; AI 8 x 14 Bit:

Table 5-50 Channels for resistance and temperature measurement of the SM 431; AI 8 x 14 Bit

Measuring type parameter Permissible Condition


for channel n
Resistance 0, 2, 4 or 6 You must disable the "Measuring type" parameter for channels n+1
(4-conductor connection) (1, 3, 5, 7).
Resistance 0, 2, 4 or 6 Reason: The connections of channel n+1 are used to supply the re‐
(3-conductor connection) sistance that is connected to channel n.
Thermal resistance 0, 2, 4 or 6
(linear, 4-wire connection)
Thermal resistance 0, 2, 4 or 6
(linear, 3-wire connection)

Circuit for reference junction compensation for thermocouples


If you select "RTD on Channel 0" as a reference junction for reference junction compensation for
thermocouples, the following applies:

Table 5-51 Thermocouple with reference junction compensation via RTD on channel 0

Measuring type parameter Permissible for Condition


channel n
RTD on Channel 0 2 to 7 You must connect and configure on channel 0 a resistance thermom‐
eter with linearization, a 3 or 4-conductor connection in climatic
range. This means that channels 0 and 1 are assigned.
Reason: If channel 0 is to be used as the reference junction, a resist‐
ance-type sensor must be connected there to record absolute tem‐
peratures in the climatic range.

Unused channels
Unused channels can usually be left open. Set the measuring range modules to position "A". In
measuring environments with strong interference, you can improve the module's immunity to
interference by short-circuiting the channels.
For unused channels, set the "measuring method" parameter to "deactivated". This reduces
the module's cycle time.

Measured value smoothing


You will find information that is generally applicable to the smoothing of analog values in the
respective section. You can only set strong smoothing for the SM 431; AI 8 x 14 Bit.
The module cycle time is a constant, irrespective of how many channels are enabled.
It therefore has no effect on the filter settling time, which is defined by the parameter
assignment of interference frequency suppression and smoothing.

5.21.3 Measuring methods and measuring ranges of SM 431; AI 8 x 14 Bit

Measuring methods
You can set the measuring method at the input channels:
• Voltage measurement
• Current measurement
• Resistance measurement
• Temperature measurement
You specify the setting by means of the measuring range modules on the module and the
"Measuring type" parameter in STEP 7.

Circuit variants for the channels


Two channels are set in each case with the measuring range module. There are therefore
restrictions as regards the measuring method for the adjacent channels 0/1, 2/3, 4/5 and 6/7, as
shown in the following table:

Circuit for resistance measurement


The following conditions apply when measuring the resistance and temperature with the SM
431; AI 8 x 14 Bit:

Table 5-56 Channels for resistance measurement of the SM 431; AI 8 x 14 Bit (6ES7431-1KF10-0AB0)

Measuring type parameter Permissible Condition


for channel n
Resistance 0, 2, 4 or 6 You must disable the "Measuring type" parameter for channels n+1
(4-conductor connection) (1, 3, 5, 7).
Reason: The connections of channel n+1 are used to supply the re‐
sistance that is connected to channel n.

Unused channels
Unused channels can be left open. Set the measuring range modules to position "B". You can
improve the noise immunity of the module in a measuring environment with serious
interference by interconnecting M- and MANA.

Measuring ranges
Set the measuring ranges using the measuring range modules, and at the "measuring method"
parameter in STEP 7.

5.22.2 Commissioning the SM 431; AI 16 x 13 Bit

Introduction
You set the mode of operation of the SM 431; AI 16 x 13 Bit by means of measuring range
modules on the module and in STEP 7.

Measuring range modules


A measuring range module of the module matches two consecutive channels to each type of
sensor. Reposition the measuring range modules to suit the measuring method and range. The
steps you have to perform to do this are described in detail in the respective section.
For an overview of the settings of specific measuring methods and ranges, refer to the
corresponding table in the section "Measuring methods and measuring ranges of SM 431;
AI 16 x 13 Bit". The necessary settings are also shown on the label attached to the module.

Parameters
You will find a description of the general procedure for assigning parameters to analog modules
in the respective sections.
The table below provides an overview of configurable parameters, including defaults.

Measuring methods
You can set the measuring method at the input channels:
• Voltage measurement
• Current measurement
You specify the setting by means of the measuring range modules on the module and the
"Measuring type" parameter in STEP 7.

Circuit variants for the channels


Two channels are set in each case with the measuring range module. There are therefore
restrictions as regards the measuring method for the adjacent channels 0/1, 2/3, 4/5, 6/7, 8/9,
10/11, 12/13 and 14/15, as shown in the following table:

Example
If you select "current (2-wire transducer)" for channel 6, you can only disable the measuring
method or set "current (2-wire transducer)" for channel 7.

Unused channels
Unused channels can be left open. Set the measuring range modules to position "B". You can
improve the noise immunity of the module in a measuring environment with serious
interference by interconnecting M- and MANA.
For unused channels, set the "measuring method" parameter to "deactivated". This reduces
the module's cycle time.

5.23.2 Commissioning the SM 431; AI 16 x 16 Bit

Setting the operating mode


You set the mode of operation of the SM 431; AI 16 x 16 Bit by means of measuring range
modules on the module and in STEP 7.

Measuring range modules


A measuring range module of the module matches two channels and one resistance channel to
each type of sensor. Reposition the measuring range modules to suit the measuring method and
range. The steps you have to perform to do this are described in detail in the respective section.
For an overview of the settings of specific measuring methods and ranges, refer to the
corresponding table in the section "Measuring methods and measuring ranges of SM 431;
AI 16 x 16 Bit". The necessary settings are also shown on the label attached to the module.

Parameters
You will find a description of the general procedure for assigning parameters to analog modules
in the respective sections.

A point to note about channels for hardware interrupts with the end of scan cycle trigger
You can configure hardware interrupts for the end of scan cycle for one of the 16 channels
because the module can only trigger these interrupts on one channel.

Measured value smoothing


You will find information that is generally applicable to the smoothing of analog values in the
respective section.

5.23.3 Measuring methods and measuring ranges of SM 431; AI 16 x 16 Bit

Measuring methods
You can set the measuring method at the input channels:
• Voltage measurement
• Current measurement
• Resistance measurement
• Temperature measurement
You specify the setting by means of the measuring range modules on the module and the
"Measuring type" parameter in STEP 7.

Circuit variants for the channels


Two channels are set in each case with the measuring range module. There are therefore
restrictions as regards to the measuring method for the adjacent channels 0/1, 2/3, 4/5, 6/7, 8/9,
10/11, 12/13 and 14/15, as shown in the following table:

Circuit for resistance and temperature measurement


The following conditions apply when measuring the resistance and temperature with the SM
431; AI 16 x 16 Bit:

Table 5-64 Channels for resistance and temperature measurement of the SM 431; AI 16 x 16 Bit

Measuring type parameter Permissible for Condition


channel n
Resistance 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 You must disable the "Measuring type" parameter for channels
(4-conductor connection) or 14 n+1 (1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15).
Resistance 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 Reason: The connections of channel n+1 are used to supply the
(3-conductor connection) or 14 resistance that is connected to channel n.

Thermocouple (linear) 0 to 15 You can select the reference junction. It is only advisable to spec‐
ify a reference junction with thermocouples.

Circuit for reference junction compensation for thermocouples


If you select "RTD on Channel 0" as a reference junction for reference junction compensation for
thermocouples, the following applies:

Table 5-65 Reference junction compensation via RTD on channel 0 of the SM 431; AI 16 x 16 Bit

Reference junction parameters Permissible for channel n Condition


RTD on Channel 0 2 to 15 You must connect and configure on channel 0 a
resistance thermometer with linearization, a 3- or
4-conductor connection in climatic range. This
means that channels 0 and 1 are assigned.
Reason: If channel 0 is to be used as the reference
junction, a resistance-type sensor must be con‐
nected there to record absolute temperatures in
the climatic range.

Unused channels
Unused channels can be left open. Set the measuring range modules to position "A". You can
improve the noise immunity of the module in a measuring environment with serious
interference by short-circuiting the channels.
For unused channels, set the "measuring method" parameter to "deactivated". This reduces
the module's cycle time.

Default
The "voltage" measuring method and "± 10 V" measuring range are set by default in STEP 7. You
can use this combination of measuring method and measuring range without configuring the
SM 431; AI 16 x 16 Bit in STEP 7.

Wire break monitoring


The wire break check is intended primarily for temperature measurements (TC, RTD) or
resistance measurements. Always configure the wire break check in these cases as this ensures
that in the event of a wire break the measured value provided by the module accepts the data
for overrun 7FFFH.

Special characteristics of the wire break check for the voltage measurement methods
In some transducers, incorrect measured values may occur due to the fact that the wire break
check is enabled. If so, disable the wire break check.
Reason: Some transducers try to correct the test current and in doing so corrupt the setpoint
value they provide.

Points to note about the wire break check when current sensors are connected
A wire break check of current sensors is not possible for the SM 431; AI 16 x 16 Bit except in life-
zero areas. You can therefore only configure the wire break check for the "Current (4-wire
transducer)" measuring method and the "4 to 20 mA" measuring range.

Checking for reference channel errors when connecting thermocouples


If you have connected a thermocouple, you can then enable the "Reference channel error"
diagnostics if you have configured an "RTD on Channel 0" or "Reference Temperature Value"
reference junction.

Points to note about checking for "Underflow" with some measuring methods and measuring
ranges
There is now underflow in life-zero areas. A value that is too low or is negative is interpreted as
a wire break. You can therefore not configure the underflow check for the SM 431; AI 16 x 16 Bit
for the following measuring methods and ranges:

Measured value smoothing


For generally valid information on analog value smoothing, refer to the section "Conversion and
cycle and response times of analog modules".
The cycle time of the module is a constant in the SM 431; AI 8 x 16 Bit that is not dependent
on the number of channels that are enabled. It therefore has no effect on the step response,
which is defined by the parameter assignment of interference frequency suppression and
smoothing.

5.25.3 Measuring methods and measuring ranges of SM 431; AI 8 x 16 Bit

Measuring methods
You can set the measuring method at the input channels:
• Voltage measurement
• Current measurement
• Temperature measurement
You perform the setting with the "measuring method" parameter in STEP 7.

Unused channels
For unused channels, set the "measuring method" parameter to "deactivated". This reduces the
module's cycle time.

Measuring ranges
Set the measuring ranges by means of the "Measuring range" parameter in STEP 7.

Parameters
You will find a description of the general procedure for assigning parameters to analog modules
in the respective sections.
For an overview of configurable parameters and defaults, refer to the "Parameters of analog
output modules" table.

Assigning parameters to channels


The parameters can be set separately at each output channel of SM 432; AO 8 x 13 Bit. You can
thus assign individual parameters to each output channel.

Configuration of analog output circuits


You can configure the outputs for operation as voltage or current outputs, or disable these. You
configure the output circuits at the "output type" parameter in STEP 7.

Unused channels
To make sure that unused output channels of SM 432; AO 8 x 13 Bit are de-energized, set the
"Output type" parameter to "deactivated" and leave the terminal open.

Output ranges
You program the output ranges for voltage and current outputs in STEP 7.

Table 5-75 Output ranges of the SM 432; AO 8 x 13 Bit

Selected type of output Output range Description


Voltage 1 V to 5 V The digitized analog values are listed in
0 V to 10 V the section "Representation of analog
± 10 V values for analog output channels" in the
Current 0 to 20 mA voltage or current output range.
4 to 20 mA
± 20 mA

Default
The output type "Voltage" and output range "± 10 V" are set by default at the module. You can
always use this combination of output type and range without having to program the SM 432;
AO 8 x 13 Bit in STEP 7.

Rules for connection


When you connect a central rack to expansion racks, you must observe the following rules:
• You can connect up to 21 ERs of the S7-400 to one CR.
• The ERs are assigned numbers to identify them. The rack number must be set on the coding
switch of the receive IM. Any rack number between 1 and 21 may be assigned. Numbers must
not be duplicated.
• You may insert up to six send IMs in one CR. However, only two send IMs with 5 V transfer are
allowed in one CR.
• Each line connected to the interface of a send IM can comprise up to four ERs (without 5 V
transfer) or one ER (with 5 V transfer).
• The exchange of data via the communication bus is limited to 7 racks, meaning the CR and
ER numbers 1 to 6.
• The maximum (total) cable lengths specified for the type of connection must not be
exceeded.

Terminator
The bus must be terminated in the last EU of a line. To do this, plug in the appropriate terminator
in the lower front connector of the receive IM in the last EU of the line. Unused front connectors
in a send IM do not have to be terminated. The IM 461-1 does not require a terminator.

7.2 Rules for connecting S5 expansion units

7.2 Rules for connecting S5 expansion units

Introduction
When you connect S5 expansion units to an S7-400 via the IM 463-2, there are rules to observe
with regard to cable length, maximum expansion, use of a terminating connector and
permissible potential differences.

Cable length
The maximum cable length per IM 463-2 from the CR of the S7-400 to the last S5 expansion unit
is 600 m. You set the actual cable length at the IM 463-2.

Maximum configuration
You can use up to four IM 463-2s in one S7-400 CR.
At each IM 463-2 interface (C1 and C2), you can connect up to four S5 expansion units in a
distributed configuration.
You can connect further EUs centrally to the EUs connected in the distributed configuration.

Addressing of the S5 modules


All S5 address areas are available (P, Q, IM3, IM4)

Note
Note that every S5 address can only be used once, even across different lines.

Terminator
You must terminate the IM 314 of the last EU in each line with the 6ES5760-1AA11 terminating
connector.

Permissible potential differences


For the safe functioning of the distributed configuration, you must ensure that the potential
difference between two devices is not more than 7 V. Use an equipotential bonding conductor.

Parameter sets of signal modules A
A.1 How to assign the parameters for signal modules in the user
program

Parameter assignment in the user program


You have already assigned parameters to the modules in STEP 7.
In the user program, you can use an SFC:
• To assign new parameters to the module
• To transfer the parameters from the CPU to the addressed signal module

Parameters stored in data records


The signal module parameters are stored in data records 0 and 1.

Modifiable parameters
You can edit the parameters of data record 1, and then transfer these to the signal module using
SFC55. The CPU parameters are not changed by this action!
You cannot modify any parameters of data record 0 in the user program.

SFCs for parameter assignment


SFCs available for programming signal modules in the user program:

Table A-1 SFCs for assigning parameters to signal modules

SFC No. Identifier Application


55 WR_PARM Transfer modifiable parameters (data record 1) to the addressed
signal module.
56 WR_DPARM Transfer parameters (data record 0 or 1) from the CPU to the ad‐
dressed signal module.
57 PARM_MOD Transfer all parameters (data record 0 and 1) from the CPU to the
addressed signal module.

Directive on handling electrostatic sensitive
devices (ESD) D
D.1 ESD: What are the directives for handling electrostatic sensitive
devices?

Definition
All electronic modules are equipped with large-scale integrated ICs or components. Due to their
design, these electronic components are highly sensitive to overvoltage, and thus to any
electrostatic discharge.
These Electrostatic Sensitive Devices/Modules are commonly abbreviated ESD.
Electrostatic sensitive devices are labeled with the following symbol:

CAUTION
Electrostatic sensitive devices can be destroyed by voltages far below the level perceived by
human beings. These voltages are generated when you touch a component or electrical
connections of a module without having discharged your body. In most cases, the damage
caused by overvoltage is not evident immediately, and results in damage only after a prolonged
period of operation.

D.3 Basic protective measures against electrostatic discharge

D.3 Basic protective measures against electrostatic discharge

Ensure sufficient grounding


Make sure all persons, workplaces and packaging are sufficiently grounded when ESD
components are being handled. This prevents electrostatic charging.

Avoid direct contact


You should only touch ESD components if this is unavoidable (for example, during maintenance
work). Handle the modules without touching any chip pins or PCB traces. In this way, the
discharged energy can not affect the sensitive devices.
Discharge your body before you start taking any measurements on a module. Do so by
touching grounded metallic parts. Always use grounded measuring instruments.

Address
An address identifies a certain operand or operand range, examples: input I 12.1; memory
word MW 25; data block DB 3.

Automation system
An automation system is a → programmable logic controller consisting of a → central rack, a
CPU and various input/output modules.

Backplane bus
The backplane bus is a serial data bus over which modules communicate with each other and
are supplied with the necessary voltage. The connection between the modules is established
by bus connectors.

Backup battery
The backup battery ensures that the → user program in the → CPU is not lost in the event of
a power failure and that defined data areas, bit memory, timers and counters are → stored
retentively.

Backup voltage, external


The same backup as with a backup battery can be achieved if a backup voltage (DC voltage
between 5 V and 15 V) is applied to the "EXT. BATT." socket of the CPU.
The external backup voltage is required to replace a power supply module if the user
program and data stored in a RAM (e.g. bit memory, timers, counters, system data,
integrated clock) need to be backed up for the duration of the module replacement.

A cold restart can be triggered automatically (for example, after a power failure, a loss of
information in dynamic memory areas, etc.).

Common mode voltage


Voltage that is common to all terminals of a group and that is measured between this group
and any reference point (usually ground).

Communication load
Load on cyclic program execution of a CPU caused by communication processes (PROFIBUS
DP).
To prevent communication processes from putting too much load on cyclic program
execution, the maximum permissible cycle load caused by communication can be defined
via parameter assignment in STEP 7.

Communications processor
Programmable module for communication tasks, such as networking, point-to-point
connection.

Compensating box
Compensating boxes can be used when measuring temperatures with thermocouples
connected to analog input modules. The compensating box is a compensation circuit for
compensating temperature fluctuations at the → reference junction.

Constant bus cycle time


"Constant bus cycle time" means a DP bus cycle accurate to a few microseconds that can be
configured in STEP 7.

CP

Data block
Data blocks (DB) are data areas in the user program that contain user data. There are global
data blocks that can be accessed by all logic blocks and there are instance data blocks that
are assigned to a specific FB call.

Declaration
Definition of variables (e.g. parameters or local data of a block) with name, data type,
comment, etc.

Default setting
The default setting is a practical basic setting that is always used if no other value is entered.

Destruction limit
Limit of the permissible input voltage/current. If this limit is exceeded, then the
measurement accuracy may deteriorate. If the destruction limit is exceeded significantly,
the internal measuring circuitry may be destroyed.

Diagnostic buffer
The diagnostic buffer is a buffered memory area in the CPU where diagnostic events are
stored in order of occurrence.
For troubleshooting purposes, the user can read out the exact cause of the error from the
diagnostic buffer with STEP 7 (PLC -> Module information menu command).

Diagnostic data
All diagnostic events that have occurred are collected in the CPU and entered in the →
diagnostic buffer. If error OB exists, it is started.

Diagnostics
Generic term for → system diagnostics, process fault diagnostics and user-defined
diagnostics.

Direct data exchange


Direct data exchange In direct data exchange, local input address areas of an intelligent DP
device (e.g. CPU 315-2 with PROFIBUS DP connection) or a DP master are assigned to the
input address areas of a PROFIBUS DP partner. The intelligent DP device or DP master receives
the input data that the PROFIBUS DP partner sends to its DP master via these assigned input
address areas.

DP device
A device that is operated on PROFIBUS with the PROFIBUS DP protocol is called a DP device.

DP master
A station with master functionality in PROFIBUS DP. A master that operates in conformance
with IEC 61784-1:2002 Ed1 CP 3/1 with the DP protocol is a DP master. The token allowing
access to the bus is exclusively passed on among the masters. The devices, in this case DP
devices, can only react when requested by a master. A distinction must be made between the
following:
DP master (class 1): handles user data exchange with the DP devices assigned to it.
DP master (class 2): provides services such as: reading input/output data, diagnostics, global
control.

Equipotential bonding

Floating
In floating input/output modules, the reference potentials of the control and load circuits are
galvanically isolated; e.g. by optocoupler, relay contact, or transformer. Input/output circuits
can be connected to a common potential.

Force
The "Force" function overwrites a variable (e.g. bit memory, output) with a value defined by
the user.
At the same time, the variable is write-protected so that the value cannot be changed from
any other location (thus, also not from the user program). This value is retained even after
the programming device has been disconnected.
Only when the "Unforce" function is called is the write protection removed and the variable
written again with the value specified by the user program.
The "Force" function can be used, for example, during commissioning to set specific outputs
to "ON" state for any length of time even if the logic operations in the user program are not
fulfilled (e.g. due to missing wiring of inputs).

FREEZE
Control command, inputs of the → DP devices are frozen at the current value.

Function
According to IEC 1131-3, a function (FC) is a → logic block without → static data. A function
allows parameters to be passed in the user program. This makes it suitable for programming
frequently recurring complex functions such as calculations.

Function block
According to IEC 1131-3, a function block (FB) is a → logic block with → static data. An FB
has "memory" so that it is possible to access its parameters (for example, outputs) from any
part of the user program.

Functional grounding
Grounding with the sole purpose of ensuring the intended function of the electrical
equipment. The functional grounding short-circuits interference voltages that would
otherwise lead to impermissible influences on the equipment.

Fuse blown
Parameter in STEP 7 for digital output modules. When the parameter is enabled, the blowing
of one or more fuses is detected by the module. If the parameter is set accordingly, a →
diagnostic interrupt is triggered.

Reference Manual, 04/2023, A5E00850736-AL 379
Glossary

Grounding
Grounding means connecting an electrically conductive part to the ground electrode (one or
more conductive parts that make good contact with the ground) via a grounding system.

Hardware interrupt
A hardware interrupt is triggered by interrupt-triggering modules due to a certain event in
the process (violation of the high or low limit; module has completed the cyclic conversion of
its channels).
The hardware interrupt is signaled to the CPU. In keeping with the priority of this interrupt,
the assigned → organization block is then executed.

Hot restart
When a CPU starts up (e.g. through operation of the mode selector or after power ON),
either OB101 (hot restart), OB100 (warm restart) or OB102 (cold restart) is executed before
the cyclic program execution (OB1). Backup of the CPU is essential for the "hot restart".
The following applies: All data areas (timers, counters, bit memory, data blocks) and their
contents are retained. The → process image input is read and execution of the STEP 7 user
program is continued from the point at which it was last stopped (STOP, power OFF).
The other startup modes available are → cold restart and → warm restart.

I/O bus
Part of the → backplane bus in the automation system, optimized for fast exchange of signals
between the CPU(s) and the signal modules.
User data (e.g. digital input signals of a signal module) and system data (e.g. default
parameter data records of a signal module) are transferred via the I/O bus.

Input delay
Parameter in STEP 7 for digital input modules. The input delay is used to suppress coupled
interference. Interference pulses from 0 ms up to the set input delay are suppressed.
The set input delay is subject to a tolerance that can be found in the technical specifications
of the module. A high input delay suppresses longer interference pulses, a low input delay
suppresses shorter interference pulses.
The permissible input delay depends on the cable length between the sensor and module.
For example, a high input delay must be set for long, unshielded supply lines to the sensor
(over 100 m).

Integration time
The integration time is the inverse value of the → interference frequency suppression in ms.

380 Reference Manual, 04/2023, A5E00850736-AL
Glossary

Interference frequency suppression


Parameter in STEP 7 for analog input modules. The frequency of the alternating voltage
supply system may interfere with the measured value, in particular when measuring withing
small voltage ranges and with thermocouples. With this parameter, the user specifies the
predominant line frequency in the system.

Interrupt
SIMATIC S7 recognizes 28 different priority classes that control the processing of the
user program. These priority classes include interrupts, e.g. hardware interrupts. When an
interrupt occurs, the operating system automatically calls an assigned organization block in
which the user can program the desired reaction (e.g. in an FB).

Interrupt reaction time


The interrupt reaction time is the time from the first occurrence of an interrupt signal to
the call of the first instruction in the interrupt OB. General rule: Higher priority interrupts
are handled first. This means that the interrupt reaction time is extended by the program
execution time of the higher-priority interrupt OBs and interrupt OBs with the same priority
that occurred earlier but not yet been processed (queue).

Keep last valid value (KLV)


Module retains the last value output before the STOP state.

Linearity error
The linearity error indicates the maximum deviation of the measured/output value from the
ideal linear relationship between measured/output signal and digital value. It is specified as a
percentage in relation to the nominal range of the analog module.

Load memory
The load memory is part of a programmable module (CPU, CP). It contains objects generated
by the programming device (load objects). It is implemented either as a plug-in memory card
or as permanently integrated memory.

Local data
Local data is the data assigned to a → logic block that is declared in its → declaration
section or its variable declaration. It includes (block-specific): formal parameters, → static
data, → temporary data.

Measuring principle, instantaneous value encoding


A module with instantaneous value encoding is always used for very fast measurements
or for variables that change very quickly. With this method, the module accesses the
variable to be measured as quickly as possible and returns an instantaneous recording

of the signal at a specific time. Note that this measuring method makes modules "more
sensitive" than modules using the integrating measuring method. Therefore, interference in
the measurement signal may result in false values. When using these modules, you must
ensure a "clean" measurement signal, e.g. by strictly adhering to the installation guidelines.

Measuring principle, integrating


A module with integrating measuring method is always used for measurements that are not
time-critical. The integration time is inversely proportional to the line frequency. You set the
line frequency in STEP 7 - this then results in the integration time. With a line frequency of
50 Hz, the integration time is 20 ms or even multiples thereof. Since the measured value is
integrated over exactly this period, at least one or more whole periods of the line frequency
that may be superimposed on the measured signal are always included. The mean value
of the interference is thus integrated to zero (positive component of the first half period =
negative component of the second half period) and, as a result of the principle, only the
useful signal is detected.

Measuring range module


Measuring range modules are plugged onto the analog input modules to adapt them to
various measuring ranges.

Memory reset
The following memories of the CPU are erased during a memory reset: work memory, read/
write area of the load memory, system memory.
The MPI parameters and the diagnostic buffer are preserved.

Mode selector
The mode selector allows the user to set the current mode of the CPU (RUN, STOP) or to reset
the memory of the CPU (MRES).

Non-isolated
In non-isolated input/output modules, the reference potentials of the control and load
circuits are electrically connected.

Operating mode
Operating mode means:
1. The operating state of the CPU as selected with the mode selector or PG
2. The mode of program execution in the CPU

S7-400 Automation System Module Data


382 Reference Manual, 04/2023, A5E00850736-AL
Glossary

Operating state
The automation systems of SIMATIC S7 recognize the following operating states: STOP, →
STARTUP, RUN and HOLD.

Operational limit
The operational limit is the measurement or output error of the analog module across the
entire temperature range in relation to the nominal range of the analog module.

Parameter
1. Variable of a → logic block
2. Variable for setting the properties of a module (one or more per module). When shipped,
every module has practical basic parameter settings, which the user can change in STEP 7.

Point-to-point connection
In a point-to-point connection, only two stations are physically connected to each other. This
type of communication connection is used when the use of a communication network is
not practical or, for example, when different types of partners are connected (e.g. PLC with
process computer).

Priority class
The S7-CPU operating system provides up to 28 priority classes (= program execution levels),
e.g. for cyclic program execution, hardware interrupt-controlled program execution.
Each priority class is assigned → organization blocks in which the user can program a
reaction. The OBs have different default priorities that determine the order in which they
are executed or interrupt each other if they occur simultaneously. The default priorities can
be changed by the user.

Process image
The signal states of the digital input and output modules are stored on the CPU in a process
image.
A distinction is made between the process image inputs and process image output. The
process image input (PII) is read from the input modules by the operating system before
execution of the user program. The process image output (PIQ) is transferred from the
operating system to the output modules at the end of the program execution.

Product version
The product version distinguishes products with the same order number. The product version
is incremented when upwards-compatible functional enhancements are made, when there
are modifications relating solely to production (use of new components) and when bugs are
fixed.

PROFIBUS DP
Digital, analog and intelligent modules as well as a wide range of field devices according
to IEC 61784-1:2002 Ed1 CP 3/1, such as drives and valve terminals, are relocated from the
automation system to the local process, over a distance of up to 23 km.
The modules and field devices are connected to the automation system via the PROFIBUS DP
fieldbus and addressed like central I/Os.

Programming device
A programming device (PG) is a personal computer in a special compact design, suitable for
industrial conditions. A programming device is fully equipped for programming the SIMATIC
automation systems.

RC element
Series connection of ohmic resistor and capacitor. When a load is switched off, overvoltage
occurs in circuits with an inductive load, which can lead to an arc and reduce the service life
of the contacts. To extinguish this arc, the contact can be bridged by an RC element.

Reaction time
The reaction time is the time from detection of an input signal to the change of an output
signal linked to it.
The actual reaction time lies between the shortest and the longest reaction time. When
configuring a system, the longest reaction time must always be taken into account.

Reference channel error


Parameter in STEP 7 for analog input modules. This parameter is used to enable the group
error signal of the reference junction when thermocouples are used. When thermocouples
are used, a reference channel error occurs in the following cases:
• A fault (e.g. wire break) occurs in a reference channel to which a thermal resistor (RTD) is
connected to compensate temperature drift (channel 0).
• The → reference temperature is outside the permissible value range.
Each input channel to which the reference junction "RTD on channel 0" is assigned has the
reference channel error in the case described above - the measured temperature is no longer
compensated.

Reference junction
Parameter in STEP 7 for analog input modules. This parameter is used to specify the
reference junction (location with known temperature) when using thermocouples. Reference
junctions can be: Resistance thermometer on channel 0 of the module; → compensating box,
→ reference temperature.

Reference potential
Potential based on which the voltages of the circuits involved are examined and measured.

Reference temperature
Parameter in STEP 7 for analog input modules. The reference temperature is the temperature
of the reference junction when thermocouples are used. The reference temperature enables
correct temperature measurement using thermocouples. The temperature of the reference
junction must be known, since a thermocouple always detects the temperature difference
between the measuring point and reference junction.

Repeatability
Repeatability is the maximum deviation of the measured/output values that occurs when the
same input signal is applied or the same output value is specified repeatedly. Repeatability
is in relation to the nominal range of the module and applies to the steady state of the
temperature.

Resolution
In analog modules, number of bits that represent the digitized analog value in binary form.
The resolution depends on the module and, in the case of analog input modules, on the
→ integration time. The longer the integration time, the more precise the resolution of the
measured value. The resolution can be up to 16 bits including sign.

Retentivity
Data areas in data blocks as well as timers, counters and bit memory are retentive if their
content is retained after a restart or power OFF.

S7 basic communication

digital filter.

Standard communication
Communication via standardized protocols such as PROFIBUS DP, PROFIBUS FMS.

Static data
Static data is data that is only used within a → function block. This data is stored in an
instance data block belonging to the function block. The data stored in this way is retained
until the next function block call.

Substitute value
Substitute values are values that are output to the process if a signal output module is
defective or that are used in the user program instead of a process value if a signal input
module is defective.
The substitute values can be configured by the user in STEP 7 (keep last value, substitute
value 0 or 1). They are the values that the output(s) are to output at CPU-STOP.

resistance thermometer (RTD). The temperature coefficient is selected according to the
resistance thermometer used (according to DIN standard).

Temperature error
The temperature error is the drift of the measured/output values caused by changes in the
ambient temperature of the analog module. It is specified as a percentage per degree Kelvin
in relation to the nominal range of the analog module.

Temperature error of internal compensation


The temperature error of the internal compensation only occurs when measuring with
thermocouples. It indicates the error to be taken into account in addition to the actual
temperature error when "Internal comparison" mode is selected. The error is specified either
as a percentage in relation to the physical nominal range of the analog module or as an
