Passivation of fail-safe outputs over a long period of time
WARNING
Unintentional activation of F-I/O with fail-safe outputs
If an F-I/O with fail-safe outputs is passivated for a period longer than that specified in the
safety parameters (> 100 hours) and the fault remains uncorrected, you need to exclude
the possibility that the F-I/O can be activated unintentionally by a second fault, and thus put
the F-system in a dangerous state.
Even though it is highly unlikely that such hardware faults occur, you must prevent the
unintentional activation of F-I/O with fail-safe outputs by using circuit measures or
organizational measures.
One possibility is the shutdown of the power supply of the passivated F-I/O within a time
period of 100 hours, for example.
The required measures are standardized for plants with product standards.
For all other plants, the plant operator must create a concept for the required measures and
have it approved by the inspector.
Property of the individual shutdown of F-modules with fail-safe outputs:

A channel-specific shutdown occurs when a fault is detected. It is also possible to react to
critical process states staggered over time or to perform safety-related shutdown of
individual outputs.

4.2 Explanation of parameters
4.2.1 F-parameters
4.2.1.1 F-parameters
You must assign the PROFIsafe address (F-destination address together with F-source
address) to the F-module before you put it into operation.
● You define the F-source address using the "Base for PROFIsafe addresses" parameter in
the F-CPU.
● An F-destination address unique throughout the CPU is automatically assigned for each
F-module. You can manually change the F-destination addresses assigned in the
hardware configuration.
You can find information on F-parameters for the F-monitoring time, the PROFIsafe address
assignment (F-source address, F-destination address) and the F I/O DB in the manual
SIMATIC Safety - Configuring and Programming
4.2.1.2 Behavior after channel fault

This parameter is used to specify whether the entire F-module is passivated or just the faulty
channel(s) in the event of channel faults:
● "Passivate the entire module"
● "Passivate channel"
4.2.1.3 Reintegration after channel fault

Use this parameter to select how the channels of the fail-safe module are reintegrated after a
fault.
Use in S7-300/400 F-CPUs

This parameter is always set to "Adjustable" when you use the fail-safe module in S7-
300/400 F-CPUs.
You make the required setting in the F-I/O DB of the fail-safe module.

18 Manual, 05/2017, A5E38578424-AA
Use in S7-1500 F-CPUs

When using the fail-safe module in S7-1500 F-CPUs, you set this parameter in the STEP 7
dialog of the fail-safe module:
● "Adjustable"
● "All channels automatically"
● "All channels manually"
If you have set the "Behavior after channel fault" parameter to "Passivate channel", you
enable individual setting of the reintegration type per channel with the parameter assignment
"Adjustable". The reintegration type of the respective channel is specified with the "Channel
failure acknowledge" channel parameter.
If you have set the "Behavior after channel fault" parameter to "Passivate the entire module",
you can only select the same reintegration type for all channels.
4.2.2 Parameters of the channels
4.2.2.1 Maximum test period

With this parameter, you specify the time within which the light, dark tests (complete bit
pattern test) should be performed throughout the module. When this time expires, the tests
are repeated. In case of a fault, the test period is reduced to 60 seconds.
● Use "1000 s", for example, to conserve your actuators.
● Use "100 s" to detect faults more quickly.
4.2.2.2 Disable dark test for 48 hours

This option allows you to suppress the dark test.
To suppress dark test pulses, you must ensure that all channels together carry the 0-signal
once within the 48 hours. If this condition is not fulfilled, all dark test pulses will be applied
anyway on all channels after expiration of this time.
With 0-signal channels, the test pulses of light test continue to occur.
WARNING
When you use the function "Disable dark test for 48 hours", cross-circuits between
channels with 1-signal are not detected.
If an error caused by short-circuits (cross-circuits) is detected when you request the safety
function (shutdown of the output), not only is this output passivated, but all outputs are shut
down and the F-module is passivated.
Also take into consideration the respective requirements of your product standards
regarding error detection time.
When you activate the parameter "Disable dark test for 48 hours", all channels use the
values set for channel 0 for the parameter "Max. readback time light test / dark test".

Manual, 05/2017, A5E38578424-AA 19
4.2.2.3 Activated
The channel is always activated for this F-module.
4.2.2.4 Max. readback time dark test
Function
Dark tests are shutdown tests with bit pattern test.
For a dark test, a test signal is switched to the output channel while the output channel has
the 1-signal. This output channel is then briefly disabled (= "dark period") and read back. A
sufficiently slow actuator does not respond to this and remains switched on.
① Readback
Figure 4-1 Functional principle of the dark test (PP switching)
This parameter allows you to set the time for the readback.
If the expected signals could not be read back correctly after expiration of the readback time
dark test, the output channel is passivated.
No new process values are switched to the output channels while a bit pattern is still active
(switch test is carried out). This means that a higher maximum readback time for the dark
test increases the reaction time of the F-module.
WARNING
Through the configured readback time dark test, short circuits (cross-circuits) to a signal
with a frequency greater than 1/(2 x configured readback time dark test) Hz cannot be
recognized (50:50 sampling ratio).
Short-circuits (cross-circuits) to an output of the same module are recognized.
The parameter also has an effect on the short-circuit detection (cross-circuit) with 1-signal
when the output signal is changed from "1" to "0" with the safety program.

20 Manual, 05/2017, A5E38578424-AA
Setting readback time dark test

Because the fault reaction time is extended by the length of the readback time dark test, we
recommend that you set the readback time dark test as low as possible, but high enough
that the output channel is not passivated.
In case of the "Connecting a load per digital output" (Page 27) application, see the warnings
and notes in the section describing the application.
To determine the readback time required for your actuator, refer to the diagram in the section
Switching capacitive loads (Page 51).
Setting readback time dark test with unknown actuator capacity

If the capacity of the actuator is not known, it may be necessary for you to determine the
value for the readback time dark test by trial and error. This may also be necessary due to
the part variances in the actuator or external influences.
Proceed as follows:
● Set the readback time dark test so that the output channel can be read back correctly but
your actuator does not respond yet.
● For verification use a 1-signal with a minimum duration that corresponds to the "Maximum
test period".
● If the output channel is passivated sporadically, set a higher value for the maximum
readback time dark test.
● If the output channel is passivated, the readback time dark test is too small for a
connected capacitive load. The discharge cannot take place during the configured
readback time dark test. Increase the readback time dark test.
If you have set the readback time dark test to the maximum value of 5 ms and there is still a
passivation of the output channel, there is either an external fault or the connected capacity
is outside the permitted range.
To increase availability, we recommend that you maintain an interval to the determined limit
for the times.

Test pulses of the dark test

The interval between two test pulses is 500 ms.
* Output of test pulses only during test cycle.
Figure 4-2 Test pulses of the dark test
Note
If the dark test detects an error, the affected channel is switched off with the error message
"Short circuit to L+", all the other channels with the error message "Safety-related shutoff".
4.2.2.5 Max. readback time light test
Function
Short-circuit is detected with a 0-signal at the output.
For a light test, a test signal is switched to the output channel while the output channel has
the 0-signal. The output channel is switched on briefly during the light test (= "light period")
and read back. A sufficiently slow actuator does not respond to this and remains switched
off.
① Readback
Figure 4-3 Functional principle of the light test

22 Manual, 05/2017, A5E38578424-AA
If the signal was not read back correctly once the maximum readback time light test has
expired, the output channel is passivated.
No new process values are switched to the output channels while a bit pattern is still active
(switch test is carried out). This means that a higher maximum readback time light test for
the light test increases the reaction time of the F-module.
Test pulses of the light test
* Output of test pulses only during test cycle.
Figure 4-4 Test pulses of the light test
A light pulse with the configured duration takes place within the configured maximum test
period per output channel.
If a light pulse returns a fault, the same light pulse (which means the same bit pattern) is
repeated once after 500 ms. If the fault is still present, the maximum test period is
automatically reduced to 60 seconds and a diagnostics alarm is generated. If the fault is no
longer present, the output channel is reintegrated after the next fault-free test cycle.
4.2.2.6 Activated light test

The light test is always enabled for this F-module.

4.3 Address space
4.2.2.7 Channel failure acknowledge
Use in S7-1500 F-CPUs

This parameter is only relevant if the fail-safe module is operated on an S7-1500 F-CPU, and
can only be set if the F-parameter "Behavior after channel fault" is set to "Passivate channel"
and the F-parameter "Reintegration after channel fault" is set to "Adjustable".
The value of this parameter specifies how the channel should react to a channel fault:
● Manual: A channel failure is reintegrated after manual acknowledgment.
● Automatically: The channel is reintegrated automatically after a channel fault. Manual
acknowledgment is not necessary.
Use in S7-300/400 F-CPUs

The value of this parameter is not relevant in the case of operation on S7-300/400 F-CPUs.
There you set the corresponding property at the F-I/O DB by means of the ACK_NEC tag.

ground of the BaseUnit
In case of redundant installation of the ground line between the power supply and the
BaseUnits, the ground connection to the BaseUnits must be installed as follows:
● When the fail-safe digital output module F-DQ 8x24VDC/0.5A PP HF is installed on a
dark-colored BaseUnit, terminal M of this dark-colored BaseUnit must be additionally
connected to the ground of the power supply.
● When the fail-safe digital output module F-DQ 8x24VDC/0.5A PP HF is installed on a
light-colored BaseUnit, terminal M of the dark-colored BaseUnit installed to the right of
the light-colored BaseUnit must be additionally connected to the ground of the power
supply.
WARNING
When connecting the load to the ground of the power supply, you must run two ground
lines between the power supply and the BaseUnits for safety reasons to achieve
SIL3/Cat.4/PLe. Otherwise, the maximum residual current at signal "0" (specified in the
technical specifications) cannot be maintained if a single ground line is interrupted.

Applications of the F-I/O module
5.2 Application: Wiring a load to each digital output

Each of the 8 fail-safe digital outputs consists of two P-switches, which form a PP-switch
DQ-PPn. You connect the load between the sourcing output DQ-PPn and ground. The
ground may be the internal ground Mn or an external ground. The two P-switches are always
activated so that voltage is applied to the load. This circuit achieves SIL3/Cat.4/PLe.
To achieve SIL3/Cat.4/PLe see section Installation of the ground line between the power
supply and the BaseUnit (Page 26).

WARNING
In order to achieve SIL3/Cat.4/PLe with this wiring, you must install a suitably-qualified
actuator, for example in accordance with IEC 60947.
WARNING
The actuator can no longer be shut down if a cross circuit has developed between positive
potential (e.g. L+) and DQ-PPn. To prevent cross-circuits between positive potential (e.g.
L+) and DQ-PPn, you must route the lines used to connect the actuators in a cross-circuit-
proof manner (for example, as separate, sheathed cables or in separate cable ducts).
WARNING
If there is cross-circuit to another output at a non-passivated, switched off output, a brief 1-

signal can occur with a duration of 2x max. cycle time (Tcycle) + Max. readback time dark
test (Trb).
If there is a cross-circuit between two outputs, the test pulses of light tests of the respective
other output are also visible. With a different setting of the "Max. readback time light test"
parameter, this can cause cyclically occurring 1-signals that last as long as the longest
configured "Max. readback time light test".
If the above mentioned 1-signals dangerously affect the plant when a cross-circuit occurs
between outputs, you need to guard against the cross-circuits between the outputs with a
cross-circuit-proof installation, for example, with separate sheathed cables or separate
cable ducts.

output
Each of the 8 fail-safe digital outputs can be connected to a fail-safe digital input of the type
1, 2 or 3 in accordance with IEC61131-2.
In this application, the input delay of the fail-safe digital input must be set so that the light test
and the dark test of the fail-safe digital output do not impair the fail-safe digital input.
You can achieve SIL3/Cat.4/PLe with this circuit.
WARNING
To achieve SIL3/Cat.4/PLe using this wiring, you must use a suitably qualified fail-safe
digital input, e.g. ET 200SP F-DI 8x24VDC HF.
Input without ground return

If the fail-safe digital output module F-DQ 8x24VDC/0.5A PP HF and the fail-safe digital input
module are supplied by different power supply units, the grounds of the two power supply
units must be connected to each other.

Manual, 05/2017, A5E38578424-AA 31
WARNING
To avoid an impermissible process value at the fail-safe digital input, the wiring must be
installed so that an interruption of the connection between the ground of the fail-safe digital
output module and the ground of the fail-safe digital input module can be excluded (e.g.
redundant lines).
WARNING
In case of a cross-circuit between a positive potential (e.g. L+) and DQ-PPn, a 1-signal is
permanently present at the fail-safe digital input. To prevent cross-circuits between positive
potential (e.g. L+) and DQ-PPn, you must route the lines used to connect the fail-safe digital
inputs in a cross-circuit-proof manner, for example, as separate, sheathed cables or in

You can use any of the 8 fail-safe digital outputs to actuate one or more digital output
modules F-RQ 1x24VDC/24..230VAC/5A.
Pay attention to the permitted current for the corresponding output channel and the total
current over all outputs at the corresponding ambient temperature.
For the operation of the digital output module F-RQ 1x24VDC/24..230VAC/5A, the use of
extended readback times is required (channel parameter Max. readback time light test / dark

Note
The output signals "OUT P, OUT M" of the digital output module F-RQ
1x24VDC/24..230VAC/5A are looped through from "IN P, IN M” and should therefore be
considered like the output signals of the F-DQ 8x24VDC/0.5A PP HF "DQ-PPn, Mn". For this
reason, please observe the wiring rules for the F-DQ 8x24VDC/0.5A PP HF.

6.3 Diagnostics alarms
Diagnostics alarms
A diagnostics alarm is generated for each diagnostics event and the F-module flashes the
DIAG LED. You can read out the diagnostics alarm, for example, from the diagnostics buffer
of the F-CPU. You can evaluate the error codes using the user program.
Note
You can connect several actuators per output.
If several actuators are connected to an output, the diagnostics of each actuator affects the
other ones.
In other words, a single short-circuit affects multiple actuators.
Once the fault is eliminated, the F-module must be reintegrated in the safety program. For
additional information on passivation and reintegration of F-I/O, refer to the SIMATIC Safety

6.4 Value status
Properties
In addition to the diagnostics alarm and the status and error display, the F-module provides
information about the validity of each input and output signal – the value status. The value
status is entered in the process image along with the input signal.
Value status for digital input and output modules

The value status is additional binary information of a digital input or output signal. It is
entered in the process image of the inputs (PII) at the same time as the process signal. It
provides information about the validity of the input or output signal.
The value status is affected by a short-circuit and the plausibility check.
● 1B: A valid process value is output for the channel.
● 0B: A fail-safe value is output for the channel, or the channel is deactivated.
Assignment of the inputs and value status in the PII

Each channel of the F-module is assigned a value status in the process image of the inputs.
You can find the assignment in section Address space (Page 24).

Response times A
Introduction
You can find the reaction times of the F-DQ 8x24 V DC/0.5 A PP HF digital output module
below. The reaction times of the F-DQ 8x24 V DC/0.5 A PP HF digital output module are
included in the calculation of the F-system reaction time.
Definition of reaction time for fail-safe digital outputs

The reaction time represents the interval between an incoming safety message frame from
the backplane bus and the signal change at the digital output.
Times required for the calculation

● Max. cycle time: Tcycle = 8 ms
● Max. acknowledgment time (Device Acknowledgment Time): TDAT = 16 ms
The maximum reaction time in the case of fault (One Fault Delay Time, OFDT) is equivalent
to the maximum reaction time with no faults (Worst Case Delay Time, WCDT).
Assign the parameters for maximum readback time dark test (Maximum Readback Time, Trb)
and maximum readback time light test (Maximum Readback Time Light Test, Trb_lt) in
STEP 7/in the TIA Portal.
Operating mode: Disable dark test for 48 hours – disabled
Maximum reaction time with no faults (Worst Case Delay Time, WCDT)
t <= 4 * Tcycle
Maximum reaction time with detection of a channel fault by readback

t <= 6 * Tcycle + Trb
Maximum reaction time with detection of a channel fault by bit pattern test
t <= 2 * Tcycle + maximum test period
Operating mode: Disable dark test for 48 hours – enabled
Maximum reaction time with no faults (Worst Case Delay Time, WCDT)
t <= 5 * Tcycle + Trb + Trb_lt
Maximum reaction time with detection of a channel fault

A channel fault may not be detected until a 0-1 process value change takes place on the
corresponding channel. Please note the restrictions detailed in section Disable dark test for
48 hours (Page 19)

Switching of loads B
B.1 Connecting capacitive loads
If an F-DQ 8x24VDC/0.5A PP HF digital output module is interconnected with loads that
have an excessive capacitance, this can lead to detection of a short-circuit. Reason: The
capacitance cannot be sufficiently discharged or charged during the configured readback
time of the bit pattern test.
The typical trend shown in the diagram below represents the correlation between load
current and maximum switchable load capacitance at a supply voltage of 24 V DC.
Figure B-1 Switching of capacitive loads for the F-DQ 8x24VDC/0.5A PP HF digital output module depending on the
configured max. readback time light test / dark test.

Manual, 05/2017, A5E38578424-AA 51
Switching of loads
B.1 Connecting capacitive loads
Remedy for detecting a short circuit

1. Determine the load current and capacitance of the load.
2. Locate the operating point in the diagram above.
3. If the operating point is above the trend, select an actuator with higher current
consumption so that the new operating point is below the curve.
Example
You have configured a maximum readback time light test/dark test of "0.8 / 1.0 ms". You
have set the load current to 20 mA and the capacity to 0.2 µF. The operating point is thus
outside the range defined by the trend (gray background).
Solution: Select an actuator with higher current consumption. In this example, 40 mA.
Alternatively, you can configure the parameter "Max. readback time light test / dark test" with
"3.0 / 5.0 ms".
