Hello Eddy; You could start your search on the Siemens Portal: Safety CPUspage. You will have access to information on the F-CPUs, programming (looks like they now allow F-programs in LAD and FDB for the S7-400F, which was not possible a few years ago), the distributed safety package and the safety function block library that comes included. There are also technical manuals available on the same page, in the right-side links. If you need more specific documents, come back to the forum, maybe we can point you in the right direction. Hope this helps, Daniel Chartier |

Hi, 416F is a Fail Safe CPU. It is programed with STEP 7 + S7 Distributed Safety Software. I suggest you take a look at two manuals: 1 - Safety Engineering in SIMATIC S7 System Description http://support.automation.siemens.com/BR/view/en/12490443 2 - S7 Distributed Safety - Configuring and Programming http://support.automation.siemens.com/BR/view/en/22099875 |

Helo eddy; The following link to a Siemens FAQ discusses different connection possibilities of an HMI panel qith S7-400H redundant CPUs. http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/en/22584322 Hope this helps, Daniel Chartier |

Hi, In the Application & Tools you could find several examples for the Failsafe programming (Search on the term "Failsafe" and you will find several examples). There would be a lot of examples for smaller F-CPU's but the princip is the same! |
I hope that the answer will help, if you have still questions, don't hesitate to ask me. |

Hi, you have a F-CPU but if you don´t need safety functionality, you can use this CPU in the same way like a non-safety CPU. If you have to develop safety funtionalities, my advice: Use the Safety Functional Examples from the Online Support. There are a lot of tips inside that you will familiar with Safety Integrated in a short time. Filter: SIMATIC S7 300/400, Distributed Safety, Programming example The S7-300 example are also possible to solve with S7-400. http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/en/20208582/136000&cspltfrm=17&cssw=2&csbinh=6 |
