Swright Posts: 26 Rating: (0)	I am considering the safety category of a customer's hardware configuration. On this distributed rack the interface is an IM-151-1 HF module, he's using PM-E power modules to feed F-DI and F-DO modules. To me this is Category 1 or 2 at best but I wish I could provide a more definitive answer. Can someone direct me where I might find information to do this more accurately? Thanks

Hello Swright, ET200S failsfe solutions can be up to SIL3/CAT4 rated and IM151-1 HF, PM-E and F-DI,F-DQ combination is a commonly usedconfigfor this (but of course only one apsect of the whole system). Have a look at the manuals below, which should have all the info you were looking for: SIMATIC ET 200S Distributed I/O System - Fail-Safe Modules SIMATIC Industrial Software Safety Engineering in SIMATIC S7 S7 Distributed Safety - configuring and programming I hope this helps
