Passivation and Reintegration of F-I/O

Entry ID: 22304119, V2.0, 07/2017 3
 1 Introduction

1 Introduction
Content
The present application example describes the passivation and reintegration of F-
I/O. With two provided STEP 7 projects (for the S7-1200 or S7-1500), you can
reproduce the statements contained in this document.

Passivation
Due to the safety function, a fail-safe module (F-Module) automatically outputs
substitute values instead of process values in the following cases:
 Start-up of F-System
 Fault at fail-safe communication (communication fault) between F-CPU and F-
I/O via the PROFIsafe safety protocol.
 F-I/O/channel fault (e.g. wire break, short circuit, discrepancy fault)
 Activating a passivation of F-I/O in the F-I/O DB with PASS_ON = 1.
If an F-channel outputs substitute values, it is passivated.
The table below shows possible faults that cause passivation.

Reintegration
After eliminating the fault that caused the passivation, the switchover from
substitute values to process values can be performed. The switchover can be done
automatically or after a user acknowledgment in the safety program.
The switchover is referred to as "reintegration".
The type of reintegration depends on:
 the cause for the passivation of the F-I/O or the channels of the
F-I/O
 a configuration that is to be done by you in the F-I/O DB or the configuration of
the F-Module S7-1500/ET 200MP/F-Module S7-1200 and, where appropriate,
of the DP norm slaves/IO norm devices according to the "RIOforFA-Safety"
profile.

 2 Functionality of reintegration

2 Functionality of reintegration
This chapter provides the following knowledge:
 Fundamental possibilities for the reintegration (Chap. 2.1);
 PROFIsafe-Profil RIOforFA-Safety (Chap. 2.2)
 Binary information from the QBAD bit from the F-I/O DB and the value state
from the process image of the inputs (PII) (Chap. 2.3).

2.1 Possibilities for reintegration

2.1.1 Manual and automatic reintegration

There are two options for reintegrating a channel or F-I/O:

 Manual reintegration (Chap. 3.4)
 Automatic reintegration (Chap. 3.5)
The configuration of the reintegration depends on the fault type and whether the F-
Module supports the RIOforFA-Safety profile (Chap. 2.2). The table below provides
an overview on this matter:

Type of reintegration
*1) The behavior after a communication fault cannot be configured. A manual reintegration
must always be performed.
Depending on whether the F-Module supports the RIOforFA-Safety profile, you
need to perform the settings via the hardware configuration or via the
F-I/O DB.

2.1.2 Realizing the reintegration in the safety program

ACK_REI or ACK_GL
Reintegration into the safety program is only possible if:
 you have configured "Manual reintegration" in the hardware configuration and
the F-Module supports the RIOforFA-Safety profile, or
 the ACK_NEC parameter of the F-I/O DB is set to 1 and the
F-Module does not support the RIOforFA-Safety profile.
If you want to reintegrate channels of an F-Module, assign a positive edge to the
ACK_REI:

The application example alternatively uses the ACK_GL instruction from STEP 7
Safety:
Figure 2-3 "ACK_GL" from STEP 7 Safety

The ACK_GL instruction generates an acknowledgement for the simultaneous

reintegration of all F I/Os / channels of the F I/Os of an F runtime group.

2.2 PROFIsafe profile RIOforFA-Safety

The PROFIsafe profile RIOforFA-Safety (Remote IO for Factory Automation)
specifies the value state bits assigned to the process data (Chap. 2.3) in order to
display their validity. As a result, the user can react individually to each process
data.
The following F-Modules already support the RIOforFA-Safety profile:
• Module of the ET 200MP
• Modules of the S7-1200 F-CPU (partially)
An operation on an S7-1200 or S7-1500 F-CPU is required.

The following F-Modules currently (02/2017) do not yet support the RIOforFA-
Safety profile:
• Modules of the ET 200SP

Information on whether the F-I/O supports RIOforFA-Safety can be found in the

hardware configuration under "F-parameters":

2.3 Value state and QBAD

2.3.1 Using the value state in the safety program

Definition
The value state is a binary additional information on a channel value of an
F-IO and is entered into the process image of the inputs (PII).
 1: A valid process value is output for the channel
 0: A substitute value is output for the channel

Note The value state is inversely related to the QBAD signal of a channel from the
F-I/O DB:
 QBAD = 1: A substitute value is output for the channel
 QBAD = 0: A valid process value is output for the channel

The table below shows an example of the address assignment for an F-DI:

The position of the channel values in the PII can be found in the device manual of
the respective F-I/O.

2.3.2 Important difference to QBAD

In the event of a communication fault, QBAD and the value state behave the same,
regardless of whether the RIOforFA-Safety profile is supported or not.
In the event of channel or peripheral faults, QBAD does not change if the
RIOforFA-Safety profile is supported.
In the following, both of these cases are examined more closely.

RIOforFA-Safety profile is not supported

In case of a channel fault, the substitute value is written into the PIQ.
Example:
1. Process value "1" is written into the PIQ and output via F-DQ.
2. Channel faults result in the substitute value "0" being written into the PIQ.
3. Via the F-DQ, the substitute value is output.

RIOforFA-Safety profile is supported
In the event of a channel fault, the PIQ remains unchanged in a fault scenario.
The channel state is exclusively represented by the value state.
Example:
1. Process value "1" is written into the PIQ and output via F-DQ.
2. Despite a channel fault, the process value "1" remains unchanged in the PIQ.
3. Via the F-DQ, the substitute value is output in case of value state = 0, in case
of value state = 1, the process value would be output.

Configuring the passivation means determining for a fault scenario, whether the
affected channel or the entire F-I/O shall switch into the fail-safe mode.
The settings for the passivation and reintegration can be found as follows:
 Double-click on an F-I/O in the "Device configuration":
 "General" tab:
"F parameters > Behavior after channel fault > Passivate channel"

The F-DI/F-DQ modules of the S7-1200 only offer channel granular passivation.

3.4 Configuring a manual reintegration

This variant is prepared in the available STEP 7 projects.

3.4.1 With RIOforFA-Safety profile

Table 2-1 provides information on the possibilities for a reintegration.

Selecting the manual reintegration

The manual reintegration requires certain settings in the hardware configuration:
 Double-click on an F-I/O in the "Device configuration"
 "General" tab > F parameter
 "Behavior after channel fault: Passivate channel"
 "Reintegration after channel fault: All channels manually"

Entry ID: 22304119, V2.0, 07/2017 16
 3 Application Example

If you want to realize a manual reintegration with ACK_NEC=1, check if the

F-I/O supports the RIOforFA-Safety profile. If this is the case, the
configuration in the hardware configuration (regarding the manual or
WARNING automatic reintegration) applies and the ACK_NEC parameter of the F-I/O
DB will be ignored.

The reintegration is performed with a positive edge at the ACK_REI parameter of

the F-I/O DB. Chapter 2.1.2 shows the realization in the safety program.

3.4.2 Without RIOforFA-Safety profile

Table 2-1 provides information on the possibilities for a reintegration.

Selecting the manual reintegration

For peripheral and channel faults, the ACK_NEC parameter of the F-I/O DB needs
to be 1 for a manual reintegration (default setting).

The following figure shows where to find the ACK_NEC parameter:

F-Peripherie-DBs

The reintegration is performed with a positive edge at the ACK_REI parameter (see
the parameter after ACK_NEC in the figure) of the
F-I/O DB. Chap. 2.1.2 shows the realization in the safety program.

3.5 Configuring an automatic reintegration

Please note that not all processes support an automatic reintegration.

WARNING

Communication fault
Regardless of whether the RIOforFA-Safety profile is supported, the following
applies for communication faults:
After communication faults, F-Modules can only be integrated manually. In this
case, the settings for manual acknowledgement are ignored. For the reintegration,
the ACK_REI parameter of the F-I/O DB requires a positive edge. Chap. 2.1.2
shows the realization in the safety program.

3.5.1 With RIOfor FA profile

Table 2-1 provides information on the possibilities for a reintegration.

Peripheral and channel faults

 Siemens AG 2017 All rights reserved

Peripheral and channel faults require settings in the hardware configuration:

 Double-click on an F-Module in the "Device configuration"
 "General" tab > F parameters
 "Behavior after channel fault > Passivate channel"
 "Reintegration after channel fault: all channels automatically"
Figure 3-6 Settings in the hardware configuration

3.5.2 Without RIOforFA-Safety profile

Table 2-1 provides information on how to realize the reintegration.

Peripheral and channel faults

For peripheral and channel faults, the ACK_NEC parameter of the F-I/O DB needs
to be 0 for the automatic reintegration.
Figure 3-5 shows the ACK_NEC parameter to be set.
