When using the ET 200SP HA F-AI 8xI 2-/4-wire HART, a behavior deviating from the manual occurs at the channel driver block F_CH_AI for simulated values in the event of a channel error.

With Safety Matrix V6.3 and higher you have the possibility to calculate the runtimes of your Safety Matrix configurations with the help of the s7ftime table for the available CPU types. The basis for this is the number of Causes, Effects and Intersections of your Safety Matrix.

The following notes must be observed as part of the upgrade of your Safety Matrix project to V6.3 (the available updates are included here).

The following remedies will assist you with your request if you encounter any obstacles while logging in, or while downloading files for the diagnostics of a support request to Siemens Technical Support.

This entry contains an overview of the TÜV certificates relevant for SIMATIC S7 F/FH systems and of the associated reports and attachments.

When setting the IO addresses of a fail-safe ET 200M module it might happen that you get the following error message when quitting the configuration window: Object Properties (2988:2074): "The IO address: [IO initial addresses] must not exceed the maximum process image of the CPU. For the set process image and used module the maximum permissible address is [xxxx]."

In CFC V8.2 SP1 and higher the "Chart-based runtime group management" function is available. When using the Safety Matrix this function has to be disabled for the CFC charts concerned.

It is not permissible to change the hardware address by delta loading on an F_CH_AI channel driver block that has already been loaded from the "S7 F Systems Lib V1_3". Proceed as follows if you want to change the address by delta loading.

The entry considers CPU compatibility when planning to change CPUs with SIMATIC S7-400.

Description The F Systems library does not contain the Emergency Stop block for stop categories 0 and 1. However, this can be created from separate blocks of the Fail Safe library. Fig. 01 shows such a configuration for stop category 1. ...
