I have entered the modules in the SIMATIC MANAGER (S7)program , and transferred it. But it doesn't matter what I do, there are always INT.F! Is this a typical problem for this analog? I need help. /Bowler

The easier way to see what is wrong - check diagnostic buffer. Yes, you are right. There has recorded the last events. But if you select one you could see description of this event number. Extract and attach here diagnostic buffer. Best regards, Hristo Mihalev

Now I maybe know what the problem is.I found this at the siemens.support-homepage: "If the above analog module for S7-400 is switched on and off frequently, it may fail to start-up, even if it has worked correctly for some time with the power on. This problem has been eliminated with the new revision level 8." And it's correct, I haven't problem with those modules that have revision level 8! How can I upgrade the modules? Should it work with a software or something? I really appreciate your help!

I don't need to change the electronic? You can do nothing. I'm afraid you will have to change the module. In all cases, You should call your local Siemens representative. For other users who get stuck with the same problem, this is the link for the above statement. Best regards, H-H
