Introduction
The ER1 and ER2 racks are used for the design of expansion racks.
The ER1 and ER2 racks have only one I/O bus with the following restrictions:
● Interrupts from modules in the ER1 or ER2 have no effect since there are no interrupt
lines provided.
● Modules in the ER1 or ER2 are not supplied with 24 V. Modules requiring a 24 V supply
are not provided for use in the ER1 or ER2.
● Modules in the ER1 or ER2 are not backed up either by the battery in the power supply
module or by the voltage supplied externally to the CPU or the receive IM (EXT.-BATT.
socket).
There is therefore no advantage in using backup batteries in the power supply modules in
ER1 and ER2.
Battery faults and backup voltage faults are not reported to the CPU. The battery
monitoring function of a power supply module installed in the ER1 or ER2 should
therefore always be switched off.

Suitable modules for ER1 and ER2

You can use the following modules in the ER1 and ER2 racks:
● All power supply modules
● Receive IMs
● All signal modules provided the above-mentioned restrictions are observed.
Special case: Power supply modules cannot be used in conjunction with the IM 461-1
receive IM.

3.1 Common characteristics of the power supply modules

Functions of the power supply modules

The power supply modules of the S7-400 supply the other modules in the rack with their
operating voltages via the backplane bus. They do not provide load voltages for the signal
modules.

Common characteristics of the power supply modules

The power supply modules share the following characteristics in addition to their individual
specifications:
● Encapsulated design for use in racks of the S7-400 system
● Cooling via natural convection
● Plug-in connection of the supply voltage with AC - DC coding
● Protection class I (with protective conductor) in accordance with IEC 61140; VDE 0140,
Part 1
● Limitation of the inrush current in accordance with NAMUR Recommendation NE 21
● Short-circuit-proof outputs
● Monitoring of both output voltages. If one of these voltages fails, the power supply
module signals a fault to the CPU.
● Both output voltages (5 VDCand 24 VDC) share a common ground.
● Primary clocked
● Battery backup as option. The parameters set and the memory contents (RAM) are
backed up via the backplane bus in the CPUs and programmable modules. In addition,
the backup battery enables you to carry out a restart of the CPU. Both the power supply
module and the backed up modules monitor the battery voltage.
● Operating and fault/error LEDs on the front plate.

NOTICE

A mains disconnecting device must be provided when installing AC power supply

modules.

3.1 Common characteristics of the power supply modules

Switching the line voltage Off/On

The power supply modules have an inrush current limiter in accordance with NAMUR.

Power supply module in invalid slot

If you insert the power supply module of a rack in an invalid slot, it will not power up. In this
case, proceed as follows to start up the power supply module correctly:
1. Disconnect the power supply module from the mains (not just the standby switch).
2. Remove the power supply module.
3. Install the power supply module in slot 1.
4. Wait at least 1 minute and then switch the line voltage on again.

CAUTION

Danger of damage to equipment.

If you insert the power supply module in a slot that is not intended for power supply
modules, the module may be damaged. Slots 1 to 4 are permitted, whereby power
supply modules starting from slot 1 must be inserted without leaving gaps.

Redundant operation
Using two power supply modules of type PS 407 10A R or PS 405 10A R, you can design a
redundant power supply for a rack. We recommend this if you want to increase the
availability of your programmable controller, particularly if you are operating it on an
unreliable power system.

Designing a redundant power supply

Redundant operation is possible with any of the S7 CPUs and racks described in this
manual. STEP 7 as of V4.02 is also required.
To design a redundant power supply, insert a power supply module into slots 1 and 3 of the
rack. You can then insert as many modules as can be supplied by a single power supply
module. In other words, in redundant operation all the modules can only draw a total of 10 A.

Features
The redundant power supply of an S7-400 has the following characteristics:
● The power supply module features an inrush current in accordance with NAMUR.
● Each of the power supply modules can take over the supply of power to the whole rack if
the other one fails. There is no loss of operation.
● Each of the power supply modules can be exchanged while the system is in operation.
No loss of power and no peak stress occurs with the effective voltages when the modules
are removed or inserted.
● Each of the power supply modules monitors its function and sends a message if it fails.
● Neither of the power supply modules can generate an error which affects the output
voltage of the other power supply module.
● A redundant battery concept (backup concept) is only provided when two backup
batteries are used in each of the power supply modules. If only one battery is used in
each module, only non-redundant backup is possible, since both batteries are being used
at the same time.

3.2 Redundant power supply modules

● The failure of a power supply module is registered via a plug and remove interrupt
(default STOP). If used in the second segment of the CR 2 no message is sent if the

● If two power supply modules are inserted but only one is switched on, there is a power-up
delay of up to one minute when the line voltage is switched on.

Note
The check box "Startup if preset configuration not equal to actual configuration" should be

3.3 Backup battery (option)

3.3 Backup battery (option)

Introduction
The power supply modules of the S7-400 have a battery compartment for one or two backup
batteries. Use of these batteries is optional.

Function of the backup batteries

If backup batteries have been installed, the parameters set and the memory contents (RAM)
will be backed up via the backplane bus in CPUs and programmable modules if the power
supply module is turned off or the supply voltage fails. The battery voltage must be within the
tolerance range.
In addition, the backup battery enables you to carry out a restart of the CPU after power-on.
Both the power supply module and the backed up modules monitor the battery voltage.

Insert backup battery

Activate battery monitoring once you have installed one or two backup batteries. Make sure
that neither the respective LED BATT1F or BATT2F nor the LED BAF are illuminated. Only
then is the backup battery working properly and backup guaranteed as described above.

NOTICE

Insert the power supply module in the rack and switch it on before you insert the backup
battery for the first time. This will increase the service life of the backup battery.

Power supply modules with two backup batteries:

Some power supply modules contain a battery compartment for two batteries. If you use two
batteries and set the switch to 2BATT, the power supply module defines one of the two
batteries as the backup battery. This assignment remains in force until the battery is empty.
When the backup battery is completely discharged, the system switches to the reserve
battery which is then in turn used as the backup battery for the duration of its life. The status
"backup battery" is also stored in the event of a power failure.

Battery type
You may only use batteries certified by Siemens! (see Appendix C: Spare parts (Page 461)).
The batteries can form a passivation layer. Depassivation takes place when the batteries are
inserted in the power supply module.

3.3 Backup battery (option)

Specifications of the backup battery

Backup battery
Order number 6ES7971-0BA00
Type 1 x lithium AA
Nominal voltage 3.6 V
Nominal capacity 2,3 Ah

Backup times
The maximum backup time is based on the capacity of the backup batteries used and the
backup current in the rack. The backup current is the sum of all individual currents of the
inserted backed-up modules as well as the requirements of the power supply module when
the power is switched off.

Example for the calculation of backup times

The capacity of the batteries is listed in the technical specifications of the power supply. The
typical and maximum backup current of the backed-up module is listed in the technical
specifications of the module.
The typical backup current of a CPU is an empirically determined value. The maximum
backup current is a worst-case value that is calculated based on the corresponding
manufacturer specifications for the memory blocks.
The following technical specifications produce backup times for a CR with a PS 407 4A
(6ES7407-0DA02-0AA0) and a CPU 417-4 (6ES7417-4XT05-0AB0) as the only backed-up
module:
● Capacity of the backup battery: 2,3 Ah
● Maximum backup current (including own requirement at power off) of the power supply:
100 µA
● Typical backup current of the CPU 417-4: 225 µA to 40° C.
A nominal capacity of less than 100% is to be assumed when calculating the backup time
because the backup battery is also affected at power on by regular depassivation.
A battery capacity of 63% of the nominal capacity produces the following values:
Backup time = 2,3 Ah * 0.63 / (100 + 225) µA = (1,449 / 325) * 1 000 000 = 4458 h
This produces a maximum backup time of 185 days.

Introduction
The power supply modules of the S7-400 have essentially the same controls and indicators.
The main differences are:
● Power supply modules with a backup battery have an LED (BATTF) that indicates an
empty, defective, or missing backup battery.
● Power supply modules with two redundant backup batteries have two LEDs (BATT1F and
BATT2F) to indicate empty, defective or missing backup battery.

Backup voltage to the backplane bus

The backup voltage is either supplied by the backup battery or fed externally into the CPU or
receiver IM. In its normal state, the level of the backup voltage is between 2.7 V and 3.6 V.
The backup voltage is monitored at the lower limit. Violation of the lower limit is indicated by
the BAF LED and reported to the CPU.
BAF lights up if the backup voltage on the backplane bus is too low. Possible causes of this
include:
● Battery (batteries) empty or battery polarity has been reversed.
● External supply via CPU or receive IM is defective or supply from secondary power
supply module is defective or missing.
● Short-circuit or overload on the battery voltage.

Note
Due to internal capacities, if you remove the battery or switch off the external supply,
some time may elapse before BAF, BATT1F, or BATT2F lights up.

The battery compartment, battery selector switch, voltage selector switch and power
connection are housed under one cover. The cover must remain closed during operation in
order to protect these operator controls and to prevent static electricity from affecting the
battery connections.
Discharge your body before you start taking any measurements on a module. Do so by
touching grounded metallic parts. Always use grounded measuring instruments.

The same characteristic is displayed by the built-in overtemperature protection is triggered.
If either the 5 VDC or 24 VDC LEDs remains dark after switching on, the system has not
powered up.
If either of the 5 VDC or 24 VDC LEDs of the PS 407 10AR remains dark for longer than 1 or
2 seconds after it is switched on, the power supply module will not start up.

3.5 Fault/Error messages via LEDs

The following power supply modules will switch off in the event of a short-circuit or overload
after 1 to 3 seconds. The module will try to restart after no more than 3 seconds. If the error
has been eliminated by then, the module will start up. This applies to the following modules:

Overload at 24 V
In the event of overload at 24 V the output current is electronically limited to a value between
100% and 150% of the rated value. If the voltage then goes below the undervoltage
threshold of 19.2 V (-0/+ 5% corresponds to 19.2 V to 20.16 V), the modules respond as
follows:
● For the power supply modules, the 24 V voltage is disconnected and reconnected at a
repeat rate of approx. 0.5 to 1 seconds until there is an output voltage that exceeds the
undervoltage threshold.
● For the power supply modules 6ES7407-0KA01-0AA0, 6ES740x-0KR00-0AA0 and
6ES740x-0KR01-0AA0, the voltage reaches the level determined by the load impedance,
the module is in the characteristic operating range.
After the overload has been eliminated, the voltage returns to the nominal range and the
green 24 V LED flashes. The CPU sets the EXTF LED (external fault) and saves the fault in
the diagnostic buffer. You can trigger other responses, such as CPU STOP or a message to
a control room, in OB 81 (power supply error). If OB 81 is not configured, the CPU continues
as normal.

Overload at 5 V
In the event of an overload at 5 V, the power supply modules with 10 A or 20 A output
current can retain an output current of 16 A or 26 A for 300 ms. The power supply modules
with 4 A output current can retain an output current of 6 A for 300 ms. The CPU will then go
to DEFECT afterwards. If the 5 VDC LED flashes on the power supply and can be reset with
the FMR button, you will be able to perform a restart. The CPU will remain in STOP
afterwards and will then require a memory reset.

4.3 Assigning parameters to digital modules

4.3 Assigning parameters to digital modules

4.3.1 Parameters

Introduction
Digital modules may have different features. You can configure the features of some
modules.

Tools for parameter assignment

You assign parameters to digital modules in STEP 7.
After you have defined all parameters, download these from your programming device to the
CPU. On a transition from STOP ＞ RUN mode, the CPU then transfers the parameters to
the individual digital modules.

Static and dynamic parameters

The parameters are divided into static and dynamic parameters.
Static parameters are passed to digital modules after a STOP ＞ RUN transition of the CPU,
as described above.
You may also edit dynamic parameters in the active user program of an S7 PLC using SFCs.
However, the parameters set in STEP 7 will be applied again after a RUN > STOP, STOP >
RUN transition of the CPU. You will find a description of the parameter assignment of
modules in the user program in the Appendix.

Configuration in RUN (CiR)

CiR (Configuration in RUN) is a method you can use to modify your system or edit the
parameters of individual modules. These changes are made while your system is in
operation, that is, your CPU will stay in RUN over a maximum of 2.5 seconds while these
changes are applied.
For detailed information on this topic, refer to the "Configuration in RUN by means of CiR"
manual. This manual is found, for example, as a file in PDF format on the STEP 7 CD
supplied.

4.4.1 General information about diagnostic messages

Programmable and non-programmable diagnostic messages

Using the diagnostics function, we make a distinction between programmable and non-
programmable diagnostic messages.
You only obtain programmable diagnostic messages if you have enabled the diagnostics
using the relevant parameters. You perform parameter assignment in the "Diagnostics" tab
in STEP 7, see section 6.7.
Digital modules always return non-programmable diagnostic messages, irrespective of
diagnostics being enabled.

Reactions to diagnostic messages in STEP 7

Actions initiated by diagnostic messages:
● The diagnostic message is entered in the diagnostics of the digital module, forwarded to
the CPU and can be read out by the user program.
● The fault LED on the digital module lights up.
● If you have set "Enable diagnostic interrupt" in STEP 7, a diagnostic interrupt is triggered
and OB 82 is called, see section 5.5.

Reading diagnostic messages

You can read detailed diagnostic messages using SFCs in the user program (refer to the
appendix "Diagnostic data of signal modules").
You can view the cause of the error in STEP 7 in the module diagnostics (refer to the online
help for STEP 7).

Diagnostics using the INTF and EXTF LEDs

Some digital modules indicate faults by means of their two fault LEDs INTF (internal fault)
and EXTF (external fault). The LEDs go out when all the internal and external faults have
been eliminated.
Refer to the specifications of the modules beginning with section 5.7 to find out which digital
modules have these fault LEDs.

4.5 Interrupts of the digital modules

4.5 Interrupts of the digital modules

Introduction
This section describes the interrupt behavior of the digital modules. There are two types of
interrupt:
● Diagnostic interrupt
● Hardware interrupt
Note that not all digital modules have interrupt capability or they are only capable of a subset
of the interrupts described here. For information on the digital modules that support
interrupts, refer to their specifications.
For detailed information on the OBs and SFCs mentioned below, refer to the STEP 7 Online
Help.

Enabling interrupts
The interrupts are not preset - in other words, they are inhibited without appropriate
parameter assignment. Interrupts are enabled in STEP 7.

Special feature: The module is inserted in ER-1/ER-2

Note
If you use the digital module in ER-1/ER-2, you must set the parameters for enabling all the
interrupts to "No" because the interrupt lines are not available in ER-1/ER-2.

Diagnostic interrupt
When diagnostic interrupts are enabled, incoming error events (initial occurrence) and
outgoing error events (error is cleared) are reported by means of an interrupt.
The CPU interrupts user program execution, and executes diagnostic interrupt OB82.
In the user program, you can call SFC 51 or SFC 59 in OB 82 to obtain more detailed
diagnostic information from the module.
The diagnostic information is consistent until such time as OB 82 is exited. When OB 82 is
exited, the diagnostic interrupt is acknowledged on the module.

A digital input module can trigger a hardware interrupt for each channel at a rising or falling
edge, or both, of a signal status change.
You perform parameter assignment for each channel separately. The parameters can be
changed at any time (in RUN mode in the user program.)
Pending hardware interrupts trigger hardware interrupt processing in the CPU (OB 40 to
OB 47). The CPU interrupts the execution of the user program or the priority classes with low
priority.
In the user program of the hardware interrupt OB (OB 40 to OB 47) you can specify how the
programmable controller is to respond to an edge change. The module acknowledges the
hardware interrupt when the program exits the hardware interrupt OB.
For each channel the digital input module can buffer an interrupt that has not been triggered.
If no run levels of a higher priority class are pending processing, the CPU processes the
buffered interrupts (of all modules) in the order of their occurrence.

Hardware interrupt lost

A "Hardware interrupt lost" diagnostics interrupt is generated, if a successive interrupt occurs
at the same channel before the CPU has processed the previously buffered interrupt.
The CPU does not register any further interrupts at this channel unless it has completed
processing of the stacked interrupts of the same channel.

Interrupt-triggering channels
The interrupt-triggering channels are stored in the local data of the hardware interrupt OBs
(in the start information of the corresponding OB). The start information is two words long
(bits 0 to 31). The bit number is the channel number. Bits 16 to 31 are not assigned.

4.6 Input characteristic curve for digital inputs

IEC 61131, type 1 and type 2

The IEC 61131 standard requires the following for the input current:
● In the case of type 2, an input current of ≥ 2 mA already at + 5 V
● In the case of type 1, an input current of ≥ 0.5 mA already at + 5 V

EN 60947-5-2, 2-wire BEROs

The standard for BEROs (EN 60947-5-2) specifies that there can be a current of ≤ 1.5 mA
for BEROs in the "0" signal state.
The input current of the module in the "0" signal state is decisive for the operation of 2-wire
BEROs. This must be in accordance with BERO requirements.

2 Only in the CR (central rack) is it possible to start up the digital modules with the default settings.

Allocating the sensor supplies to channel groups

The two sensor supplies of the module are used to supply two channel groups: Inputs 0 to 7
and inputs 8 to 15. You also configure diagnostics for the sensor supply at those two channel
groups.

4.8 Digital input module SM 421; DI 16 x DC 24 V (6ES7421-7BH01-0AB0)

Ensuring a wire break check is carried out

To ensure that a wire break check is carried out, you require an external sensor circuit using
a resistor of 10 to 18 kΩ. The resistor should be connected parallel to the contact and should
be arranged as closely as possible to the sensor.
This additional resistor is not required in the following cases:
● If 2-wire BEROs are used
● If you do no configure the "Wire break" diagnostics

Setting the input delay for channel groups

You can only set the input delay for each group of channels. In other words, the setting for
channel 0 applies to inputs 0 to 7 and the setting for channel 8 applies to inputs 8 to 15.

Note
The parameters that are entered for the remaining channels (1 to 7 and 9 to 15) must be
equal to the value 0 or 8, otherwise those channels will be reported as being incorrectly
configured.
Any hardware interrupts that have occurred in the meantime will be reported after
acknowledgement.

Optimum signal propagation delays

You can achieve the fastest signal propagation delay with the following settings:
● Both channel groups are configured with an input delay of 50 µs
● All the diagnoses (load voltage error, wire break) are deactivated
● Diagnostic interrupt is not enabled

Effect of operating mode and supply voltage on the input values

The input values of the SM 421; DI 16 x 24 DC depend on the operating mode of the CPU
and on the supply voltage of the module.

Failure of the supply voltage of the SM 421; DI 16 x 24 DC is always indicated by the EXTF
LED on the module. This information is also available on the module (entry in diagnostic
data.)

4.10.2 Assigning parameters to the SM 421; DI 16 x UC 24/60 V

Parameter assignment
You will find a description of the general configuration of digital modules in section 5.3.

Parameters of the SM 421; DI 16 x UC 24/60 V

The following table contains an overview of the parameters you can set and their default
settings for the SM 421; DI 16 x UC 24/60 V.

20 ms (DC/AC)
1If you use the module in ER-1/ER-2, you must set this parameter to "No" because the interrupt lines are not available in
ER-1/ER-2.
2 Only in the CR (central rack) is it possible to start up the digital modules with the default settings.
3 If
you assign 0.5 ms , then you should not configure diagnostics because the internal processing time for diagnostic
functions can be > 0.5 ms.

Ensuring a wire break check is carried out

To ensure that a wire break check is carried out, you require an external sensor circuit using
a resistor of 18 to 56 kΩ. The resistor should be connected parallel to the contact and should
be arranged as closely as possible to the sensor.
This additional resistor is not required in the following cases:
● If 2-wire BEROs are used
● If you do no configure the "Wire Break" diagnostics

4.10 Digital input module SM 421; DI 16 x UC 24/60 V (6ES7421-7DH00-0AB0)

Setting the input delay for channel groups

You can only set the input delay for each group of channels. In other words, the setting for
channel 0 applies to inputs 0 to 7 and the setting for channel 8 applies to inputs 8 to 15.

Note
The parameters that are entered for the remaining channels (1 to 7 and 9 to 15) must be
equal to the value 0 or 8, otherwise those channels will be reported as being incorrectly
configured.
Any hardware interrupts that have occurred in the meantime will be reported after
acknowledgement.

Optimum signal propagation delays

You can achieve the fastest signal propagation delay with the following settings:
● Both channel groups are configured with an input delay of 0.5 ms
● The diagnostics parameter is disabled
● The diagnostic interrupt parameter is disabled

(6ES7422-1BH11-0AA0)

Features
The digital output module SM 422; DO 16 x DC 24 V/2 A has the following features:
● 16 outputs, isolated in two groups of 8
● Output current 2 A
● Nominal load voltage 24 VDC
The status LEDs also indicate the system status even when the front connector is not
inserted.

A note about commissioning

The following technical feature applies to the digital output module SM 422;DO 16 x
DC 24 V/2 A with the order number 6ES7422-1BH11-0AA0 but not to the digital output
module SM 422; DO 16 x DC 24 V/2 A with the order number 6ES7422-1BH10-0AA0:
To commission the module, it is not necessary to apply load voltage (1L+ and 3L+, for
example,) to each group of 8 outputs. The module is fully operative even if only one group is
supplied with L+.

Note
It is no longer possible to switch off all the outputs by disconnecting a single L+ supply as
might have been the case with the previous module (6ES7422-1BH10-0AA0).

5.3 Steps for commissioning analog modules

5.3 Steps for commissioning analog modules

Introduction
The following table contains the tasks that you have to perform one after the other to
commission analog modules successfully.
The sequence of steps is a suggestion, but you can perform individual steps either earlier or
later (for example, assign parameters to the module) or install, commission etc. other
modules in between times.

Steps

Table 5- 3 Steps from the selection of analog modules to commissioning

Step Procedure
1 Select the module.
2 For certain analog input modules: Set the measuring type and range using the measuring
range module.
3 Mount the module in the rack.
4 Assign parameters to module.
5 Connect the measuring sensors or loads to the module.
6 Commission the configuration.
7 Analyze the configuration if commissioning failed.

5.4 Representation of analog values

5.4 Representation of analog values

5.4.1 General information

Introduction
This chapter describes the analog values for all measuring or output ranges supported by
the analog modules.

Analog to digital conversion

Analog input modules convert the analog process signal into digital form.
Analog output modules convert digital output values to analog signals.

Representation of analog values at a resolution of 16 bits

The digitized analog value applies to input and output values of the same nominal range.
Analog values are output as real numbers in two's complement. The resulting assignment:

Bit 15 14 13 12 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0
Bit values 215 214 213 212 211 210 29 28 27 26 25 24 23 22 21 20

Bit 15 can be interpreted as a sign

The sign of the analog value is always set at bit 15:
● "0" → +
● "1" → -

Resolution less than 16 bits

On analog modules with a resolution of less than 16 bits, the analog value is stored left-
justified. The unused least significant bit positions are padded with "0".

Example
The example below demonstrates the "0" padding of unused bit positions for low resolution
values.

5.4 Representation of analog values

5.4.2 Representation of analog values of analog input channels

Introduction
The tables in this section contain the measured value representations for the various
measuring ranges of the analog input modules. The values in the tables apply to all modules
with the corresponding measuring ranges.

Notes for readers of the tables

The tables "Bipolar input ranges", "Unipolar input ranges", "Life-zero input ranges" contain
the binary representation of the measured values.
The binary representation of the measured values is always the same, so the analog
representation tables only compare the measuring ranges and the units.

Measured value resolution

The resolution of the analog values may differ, based on the analog module and module
parameters. At resolutions < 16 bits, all bits identified by "x" are set to "0".

Note
This resolution does not apply to temperature values. The converted temperature values are
the result of a conversion in the analog module (see tables for analog representation of
resistance thermometer and for thermometer elements).

output ranges.

Notes for readers of the tables

The tables "Bipolar output ranges", "Unipolar output ranges", "Life-zero output ranges"
contain the binary representation of the measured values.
Since the binary representation of the output values is always the same, starting with the
table at "Representation of Analog Values in the Voltage Output Range ± 10 V" these tables
only contain the output ranges and the units.

Binary representation of output ranges

The input ranges shown in tables "Bipolar output ranges", "Unipolar output ranges",
"Life-zero output ranges" are defined in complementary 2-by-2 representation:

5.5 Setting the measuring method and ranges of analog input channels

Two procedures
There are two procedures for setting the measuring method and ranges of analog input
channels of analog modules:
● With a measuring range module and STEP 7
● By hardwiring the analog input channel, and programming in STEP 7
The method to use for the various analog modules is module-specific, and described in detail
in the relevant module sections.
The procedure for setting the measuring method and measuring range of the module in
STEP 7 is described in the respective sections.
This section describes how to set the measuring method and range using measuring range
modules.

Setting the measuring method and range using measuring range modules
Analog modules are supplied with measuring range modules as required.
Reposition the measuring range modules to suit the measuring method and range.

NOTICE

Make sure that the measuring range modules are on the side of the analog input module.
Before you install the analog input module, check the measuring method and range of the
measuring range modules, and adapt these as required.

Optional settings of the measuring range modules

Optional settings of the measuring range modules are: "A", "B", "C" and "D".
For detailed information on specific measuring method and range settings, refer to the
relevant module section.
The settings for the various measuring methods and ranges are also shown on the printed

5.6.4 Effect of operational limit and basic error limit

Operational limit
The operational limit represents the measuring error, or output error, of an analog module
across the entire permissible temperature range of the module, based on the module's
nominal range.

Basic error limit

The basic error limit represents the operational limit at 25° C, based on the module's nominal
range.

Note
The percentage details of operational and basic error limits in the specifications of the
modules always refer to the highest possible input and output value in the nominal range of
the module. In the ± 10 V measurement range this would be the 10 V.

Example of determination of the output error of a module

An analog output module SM 432; AO 8 x 13 Bit is being used for voltage output. An output
range of "±10 V" is set. The module is operating at an ambient temperature of 30° C, i.e. the
operational limit applies. The specifications of the module state:
● Operational limit for voltage output: ±0,5 %
Hence, an output error of ±0.05 V (±0.5 % of 10 V) across the nominal range of the module
must be expected.
This means that with an actual voltage of, say, 1 V, a value in the range from 0.95 V to 1.05
V is output by the module. The relative error is ±5 % in this case.
For the example, the figure below shows how the relative error decreases as the output
value approaches the end of the 10V range.

5.7 Conversion, cycle, settling and response time of analog modules

5.7 Conversion, cycle, settling and response time of analog modules

Conversion time of analog input channels

The conversion time is the total of the basic conversion time plus additional processing times
of the module for:
● Resistance measurement
● Wire break monitoring
The basic conversion time depends directly on the conversion method of the analog input
channel (integrating method, actual value conversion.)
The integration time of integrating conversions has a direct influence on conversion times.
The integration time depends on the interference frequency suppression you set in STEP 7.
For information on basic conversion times and additional processing times of the various
analog modules, refer to the specifications of the relevant module.

Cycle time of analog input channels

The analog/digital conversion and the transfer of the digitized measured values to memory or
to the backplane bus take place sequentially. In other words, the analog input channels are
converted one after the other. The scan time - in other words, the time elapsing until an
analog input value is again converted - is the sum of the conversion times of all activated
analog input channels of the analog input module.
The figure below provides an overview of the cycle time elements for an n-channel analog
module.

Setting of the smoothing of analog values

You can set the smoothing of the analog values in STEP 7 for some analog input modules.

Analog modules
5.7 Conversion, cycle, settling and response time of analog modules

Use of smoothing
Smoothing of analog values ensures a stable analog signal for further processing.
It makes sense to smooth the analog values with slow variations of measured values, for
example, with temperature measurements.

Smoothing principle
The measured values are smoothed by digital filtering. Smoothing is accomplished by the
module calculating mean values, derived from a defined number of converted (digitized)
analog values.
The user assigns parameters to smoothing with a maximum of four levels (none, weak,
medium, strong). The grade determines the number of analog signals used for averaging.
A higher smoothing provides a more reliable analog value, and prolongs the time it takes to
apply a smoothed analog signal following a step response (see the example below.)

Example
The figure below shows the number of cycles a module requires to apply an almost 100%
analog value after a step response, based on the smoothing function settings. The figure
applies to all signal changes at the analog input.

5.7 Conversion, cycle, settling and response time of analog modules

Conversion time of the analog output channels

The conversion time of the analog output channels includes the transfer of digitized output
values from internal memory, and their digital-to-analog conversion.

Cycle time of analog output channels

The analog output channels are converted sequentially - that is the analog output channels
are converted one after the other.
The cycle time - that is the time expiring until an analog output value is converted again, is
equivalent to the accumulated conversion times of all activated analog output channels.
Refer to the figure "Cycle Time of an Analog Input/Output Channel".

Basic execution time of the analog output channels

The basic execution time corresponds to the cycle time for all the enabled channels.

Note
You should disable any analog channels that are not being used to reduce the scan time in
STEP 7.

Figure 5-4 Settling and response times of the analog output channels

Settling time
The settling time (t2 to t3) - that is the time from the application of the converted value until
the specified value is obtained at the analog output - depends on the load. We therefore
distinguish between resistive, capacitive and inductive load.
For information on settling times as a function of load at the various analog output modules,
refer to the specifications of the relevant module.

5.7 Conversion, cycle, settling and response time of analog modules

Response time
The response time (t1 to t3) - that is the time from the application of the digital output values
in internal memory until the specified value is obtained at the analog output - is, in the most
unfavorable case, the sum of the cycle time and the settling time.
The worst case scenario is given, when the analog channel has been converted immediately
before a new output value is transferred, and is not converted again until all other channels
have been converted (cycle time.)

5.8 Assigning parameters to analog modules

5.8.1 General information about parameter assignment

Introduction
The characteristics of analog modules may differ. The characteristics of the modules can be
defined by assigning parameters.

Tools for parameter assignment

You program analog modules in STEP 7.
After you have defined all parameters, download these from your programming device to the
CPU. The CPU transfers the parameters to the relevant analog modules at the STOP > RUN
transition.

Static and dynamic parameters

The parameters are divided into static and dynamic parameters.
Set the static parameters in STOP mode of the CPU, as described above.
You may also edit dynamic parameters in the active user program of an S7 PLC using SFCs.
However, the parameters set in STEP 7 will be applied again after a RUN > STOP, STOP >
RUN transition of the CPU. You will find a description of the parameter assignment of
modules in the user program in the Appendix.

Configuration in RUN (CiR)

CiR (Configuration in RUN) is a method you can use to modify your system or edit the
parameters of individual modules. These changes are made while your system is in
operation, that is, your CPU will stay in RUN over a maximum of 2.5 seconds while these
changes are applied.
For detailed information on this topic, refer to the "Configuration in RUN by means of CiR"
manual. This manual is found, for example, as a file in PDF format on the STEP 7 CD
supplied.

5.9 Connecting sensors to analog inputs

Introduction
The analog input modules support various sensors, such as voltage/current sensors, and
resistors, depending on the set measuring method.
This section contains general information that is generally applicable to all the connection
options for sensors described in the sections that follow.

Cables for analog signals

Always use shielded twisted-pair cables to wire analog signals. This reduces interference.
Connect both ends of the analog cable shield to ground.
If there are potential differences between the cable ends, an equipotential bonding current,
which can flow over the shield, can cause interference of the analog signals. To avoid this
situation, you should ground the shield only at one end of the cable.

Non-isolated analog input modules

In the case of the non-isolated analog input modules there is an electrical connection
between the reference point of the measuring circuit MANA and chassis ground.
You use non-isolated analog modules if there are few or no potential differences between
the measuring sensors and chassis ground.

Isolated analog input modules

With the isolated analog input modules there is no electrical connection between the
reference point of the measuring circuit MANA and chassis ground.
You use isolated analog input modules if a potential difference UISO can occur between the
reference point of the measuring circuit MANA and chassis ground. By means of an
equipotential bonding conductor between the MANA terminal and chassis ground, make sure
that UISO does not exceed the permitted value.

Limited potential difference UCM

Only a limited potential difference UCM (common mode voltage) may occur amongst the M-
measuring lines of the input channels and between the leads and the reference point of the
measuring circuit MANA. In order to prevent the permissible value from being exceeded, you
must take different actions, described below, depending on the potential connection of the
sensors.

5.9 Connecting sensors to analog inputs

Connecting electrically isolated sensors

The isolated sensors are not connected with the local ground potential (chassis ground).
They can be floating.
With isolated sensors, potential differences might arise between the different sensors. These
potential differences can arise as a result of interference or the local distribution of the
sensors.
To ensure that the permissible value for UCM is not exceeded during use in heavily EMC-
affected environments, connect M- to MANA in modules with an MANA connection.

The 2-wire sensor is wired to a short-circuit-proof supply voltage at the terminals of the

current.
Because the 2-wire transducer is supplied by the module, you must not ground the M-

In other words, you must continue to read and follow the instructions in the section
"Connecting sensors to analog inputs", which contains general information on connecting

Resistance thermometers/resistors are wired in 2-, 3- or 4-wire technique.

With 4-conductor and 3-conductor connections, the module supplies a constant current via
terminals IC + and IC - so that the potential drop occurring on the measuring cables is
compensated. It is imperative to wire the constant current cables directly to the resistance
thermometer/resistor.
Compensated measurements with 3- or 4-wire elements return a more precise result
compared to 2-wire measurements.

4-conductor connection of a resistance thermometer

The voltage generated at the resistance thermometer is measured via the M+ and M-
terminals. When you connect, watch out for the polarity of the connected cable (connect IC +
and M+ as well as IC- and M- to the resistance thermometer).
Make sure that the connected cables IC + and M+ and SO and SE+ and cables IC - and M-

5.13 Connecting thermocouples

Thermocouple design
Thermocouples consist of a pair of thermal probes, and all necessary installation and
connecting parts. The thermocouple consists of two wires of dissimilar metals or metal alloys
soldered or welded together at the ends.
There are different types of thermocouple, depending on the composition of the material
used, for example, K, J, N thermocouples. The measuring principle of all thermocouples is
the same, irrespective of their type.

5.13 Connecting thermocouples

Operating principle of thermocouples

If the measuring point is subjected to a temperature different from that of the free ends of the
thermocouple (point of connection), a voltage, the thermo e.m.f., occurs at the free ends.
The magnitude of the thermo-e.m.f. generated depends on the difference between the
temperature at the measuring junction and the temperature at the free ends, as well as on
the material combination used for the thermocouple.
Since a thermocouple always measures a temperature difference, the free ends must be
kept at a known temperature at a reference junction in order to determine the temperature of
the measuring junction.
The thermocouples can be extended from their point of connection to the reference junction
by means of compensating wires. These compensating wires are made of the same
materials as the thermocouple wires. The supply lines are made of copper.

Note
Make sure that the polarity is correct, otherwise significant measuring errors will occur.

Compensation of the reference junction temperature

There are several options for you to choose from for acquiring the reference junction
temperature in order to obtain an absolute temperature value from the difference in
temperature between the reference junction and measuring point.
You can use internal or external compensation, depending on where you want the reference
junction to be.
The last column of the following table lists the feature you must set for the "Reference
Junction" parameter in STEP 7. The reference temperature value is a separate parameter in
STEP 7.

Constant reference junction temperature If the reference junction temperature is constant and Reference
(thermometer, ice bath) known, you can specify this value in parameter temperature value
assignment in STEP 7.

Principle of operation of internal compensation

Internal compensation allows you to form the reference point at the terminals of the analog
input module. In this case, route the compensating lines directly to the analog module. The
internal temperature sensor measures the module's temperature and returns a
compensation voltage.
Note: internal compensation is not as accurate as external compensation.

Principle of operation of external compensation with compensating box

If you employ external compensation, the temperature of the reference junction of the
thermocouples is taken into account via a compensating box, for example.
The compensating box contains a bridge circuit calibrated for a definite reference junction
temperature. The reference junction is formed by the connecting ends of the thermocouple's
compensating lines.
The resistance of the temperature-sensitive bridge changes as a function of the difference
between the actual reference temperature and calibrating temperature. This difference
induces a positive or negative compensating voltage, which is added to the thermal voltage.

Note
The figures below do not show the connecting lines required to connect the electrical
potentials of the analog input module and transducers. In other words, you must continue to

5.14 Connecting loads/actuators to analog outputs

Introduction
The analog output modules can be used to supply power to loads and actuators.
This section contains general information that is generally applicable to all the connection
options for loads and actuators described in the sections that follow.

Cables for analog signals

Always use shielded twisted-pair cables to wire analog signals. Form two twisted pairs of the
QV and S+, and M and S- signals. This reduces interference. Connect both ends of the
analog cable shield to ground.
If there are potential differences between the cable ends, an equipotential bonding current,
which can flow over the shield, can cause interference of the analog signals. To avoid this
situation, you should ground the shield only at one end of the cable.

Isolated analog output modules

With the isolated analog output modules there is no electrical connection between the
reference point of the measuring circuit MANA and chassis ground.
You must use isolated analog output modules if a potential difference UISO can occur
between the reference point of the measuring circuit MANA and chassis ground. By means of
an equipotential bonding conductor between the MANA terminal and chassis ground, make
sure that UISO does not exceed the permitted value.

4-conductor connection of loads to a voltage output

You can use the 4-wire technique to achieve a high accuracy at the load by wiring the S- and
S+ sensor lines directly to the load. This results in direct measurement and correction of the
voltage at the load.
Faults or a voltage drop can result in a potential difference between the sensor lead S- and
the reference circuit of the analog circuit MANA. This potential difference (UCM) must not
exceed the permissible value. A negative influence on the accuracy of the analog signal is
otherwise inevitable.

5.17 Diagnostics functions of analog modules

Programmable and non-programmable diagnostic messages

We distinguish between programmable and non-programmable diagnostic messages.
You only obtain programmable diagnostic messages if you have enabled the diagnostics
using the relevant parameters. You perform parameter assignment in the "Diagnostics" tab
in STEP 7.
The analog module always provides non-programmable diagnostic messages, irrespective of
the enable state of diagnostics functions.

Reactions to diagnostic messages in STEP 7

Actions initiated by diagnostic messages:
● The diagnostic message is entered in the diagnostics of the analog module, forwarded to
the CPU and can be read out by the user program.
● The error LED on the analog module is lit.
● If you have set "Enable Diagnostic Interrupt" in STEP 7, a diagnostic interrupt is triggered
and OB 82 is called.

Reading diagnostic messages

You can read detailed diagnostic messages using SFCs in the user program (refer to the
appendix "Diagnostic data of signal modules").
You can view the cause of the error in STEP 7 in the module diagnostics (refer to the online
help for STEP 7).

Diagnostic message in the measured value of analog input modules

All analog input modules return the measured value 7FFFH as a reaction to errors,
irrespective of parameter settings. This measured value indicates either overflow, error, or a
disabled channel.

Diagnostics using the INTF and EXTF LEDs

Some analog input modules indicate faults by means of their two fault LEDs INTF (internal
fault) and EXTF (external fault). The LEDs go out when all the internal and external faults
have been eliminated.
Refer to the specifications of the modules to find out which analog input modules have these
fault LEDs.

A prerequisite for detecting the errors indicated by programmable diagnostic messages is
that you must have assigned parameters to the analog module accordingly in STEP 7.

5.18 Interrupts of analog modules

5.18 Interrupts of analog modules

Introduction
This section describes the interrupt reaction of analog modules. There are two types of
interrupt:
● Diagnostic interrupt
● Hardware interrupt
Note: certain analog modules do not support interrupts, or can only partially "handle" the
interrupts described below. For information on modules supporting interrupt functions, refer
to their specifications.
For detailed information on the OBs and SFCs mentioned below, refer to the STEP 7 Online
Help.

Enabling interrupts
The interrupts are not preset - in other words, they are inhibited without appropriate
parameter assignment. Interrupts are enabled in STEP 7.

Special feature: The module is inserted in ER-1/ER-2

Note
If you use the analog module in ER-1/ER-2, you must set the parameters for the input of all
the interrupts to "No" because the interrupt lines are not available in ER-1/ER-2.

Diagnostic interrupt
When diagnostic interrupts are enabled, incoming error events (initial occurrence) and
outgoing error events (error is cleared) are reported by means of an interrupt.
The CPU interrupts user program execution, and executes diagnostic interrupt OB82.
In the user program, you can call SFC 51 or SFC 59 in OB 82 to obtain more detailed
diagnostic information from the module.
The diagnostic information is consistent until such time as OB 82 is exited. When OB 82 is
exited, the diagnostic interrupt is acknowledged on the module.

5.18 Interrupts of analog modules

Hardware interrupt with trigger "high and low limit exceeded"

Define a working range by setting a high and low limit. If the process signal (for example, the
temperature) leaves this working range, the module triggers a hardware interrupt, provided
the interrupt is enabled.
As a result, the CPU interrupts execution of the user program and executes hardware
interrupt OB 40.
In the user program of OB 40, you can set how the programmable controller is required to
react to a limit value being surpassed or not being reached.
When OB 40 is exited, the hardware interrupt is acknowledged on the module.

Note
Note: the system does not generate a hardware interrupt if your limit setting exceeds the
overshoot or undershoot range.

Structure of the start information tag OB40_POINT_ADDR of OB 40

The limit values exceeded by the different channels are entered in the start information of
OB 40 in the tag OB40_POINT_ADDR. The figure below shows the assignment of bits in
DWORD 8 of local data.

5.18 Interrupts of analog modules

Hardware interrupt triggered by "Reached end of scan cycle"

A hardware interrupt programmed to be triggered at the end of scan cycles allows you to
synchronize a process with the scan cycle of the analog input module.
A scan cycle includes the conversion of the measured values of all active channels of the
analog input module. The module processes the channels in succession. When all measured
values are successfully converted, the module reports the existence of new measurement
data at its channels to the CPU by means of an interrupt.
You can always use this interrupt to load the actual, converted analog values.

Measuring methods
You can set the measuring method at the input channels:
● Voltage measurement
● Current measurement
● Resistance measurement
You perform the setting with the "measuring method" parameter in STEP 7.

Circuit for resistance measurement

The following conditions apply when measuring the resistance with the SM 431; AI 8 x 13
Bit:

Table 5- 46 Channels for resistance measurement of the SM 431; AI 8 x 13 Bit

Measuring type parameter Permissible Condition

for channel n
Resistance 0, 2, 4 or 6 You must disable the "Measuring type" parameter for channels n+1 (1, 3,
(4-conductor connection) 5, 7).
Reason: The connections of channel n+1 are used to supply the
resistance that is connected to channel n.

Unused channels
Unused channels can be left open. You can improve the noise immunity of the module in a
measuring environment with serious interference by short-circuiting the channels and
connecting to MANA. For unused channels, set the "measuring method" parameter to
"deactivated". This reduces the module's cycle time.

5.20.2 Commissioning the SM 431; AI 8 x 14 Bit

Setting the operating mode

You set the mode of operation of the SM 431; AI 8 x 14 Bit by means of measuring range
modules on the module and in STEP 7.

Measuring range modules

A measuring range module of the module matches two channels and one resistance channel
to each type of sensor. Reposition the measuring range modules to suit the measuring
method and range. The steps you have to perform to do this are described in detail in the
respective section.
For an overview of the settings of specific measuring methods and ranges, refer to the
corresponding table in the section "Measuring methods and measuring ranges of SM 431;
AI 8 x 14 Bit". The necessary settings are also shown on the label attached to the module.

Parameters
You will find a description of the general procedure for assigning parameters to analog
modules in the respective sections.

5.20.3 Measuring methods and measuring ranges of SM 431; AI 8 x 14 Bit

Measuring methods
You can set the measuring method at the input channels:
● Voltage measurement
● Current measurement
● Resistance measurement
● Temperature measurement
You specify the setting by means of the measuring range modules on the module and the
"Measuring type" parameter in STEP 7.

Circuit variants for the channels

Two channels are set in each case with the measuring range module. There are therefore
restrictions as regards the measuring method for the adjacent channels 0/1, 2/3, 4/5 and 6/7,
as shown in the following table:

Example
If you select "current (2-wire transducer)" for channel 6, you can only disable the measuring
method or set "current (2-wire transducer)" for channel 7.

Circuit for resistance measurement

The following conditions apply when measuring the resistance and temperature with the SM
431; AI 8 x 14 Bit:

Table 5- 50 Channels for resistance and temperature measurement of the SM 431; AI 8 x 14 Bit

Measuring type parameter Permissible for Condition

channel n
Resistance 0, 2, 4 or 6 You must disable the "Measuring type" parameter for channels
(4-conductor connection) n+1 (1, 3, 5, 7).
Resistance 0, 2, 4 or 6 Reason: The connections of channel n+1 are used to supply the
(3-conductor connection) resistance that is connected to channel n.
Thermal resistance 0, 2, 4 or 6
(linear, 4-wire connection)
Thermal resistance 0, 2, 4 or 6
(linear, 3-wire connection)

Circuit for reference junction compensation for thermocouples

If you select "RTD on Channel 0" as a reference junction for reference junction
compensation for thermocouples, the following applies:

Table 5- 51 Thermocouple with reference junction compensation via RTD on channel 0

Measuring type parameter Permissible for Condition

channel n
RTD on Channel 0 2 to 7 You must connect and configure on channel 0 a resistance
thermometer with linearization, a 3 or 4-conductor connection in
climatic range. This means that channels 0 and 1 are assigned.
Reason: If channel 0 is to be used as the reference junction, a
resistance-type sensor must be connected there to record absolute
temperatures in the climatic range.

Unused channels
Unused channels can usually be left open. Set the measuring range modules to position "A".
In measuring environments with strong interference, you can improve the module's immunity
to interference by short-circuiting the channels.
For unused channels, set the "measuring method" parameter to "deactivated". This reduces
the module's cycle time.

5.21.2 Commissioning the SM 431; AI 8 x 14 Bit

Introduction
You set the mode of operation of the SM 431; AI 8 x 14 Bit by means of measuring range
modules on the module and in STEP 7.

Measuring range modules

A measuring range module of the module matches two channels and one resistance channel
to each type of sensor. Reposition the measuring range modules to suit the measuring
method and range. The steps you have to perform to do this are described in detail in the
respective section.
For an overview of the settings of specific measuring methods and ranges, refer to the
corresponding table in the section "Measuring methods and measuring ranges of SM 431,
AI 8 x 14 Bit". The necessary settings are also shown on the label attached to the module.

Parameters
You will find a description of the general procedure for assigning parameters to analog
modules in the respective sections.
The table below provides an overview of configurable parameters, including defaults.

Measured value smoothing

You will find information that is generally applicable to the smoothing of analog values in the
respective section. You can only set strong smoothing for the SM 431; AI 8 x 14 Bit.
The module cycle time is a constant, irrespective of how many channels are enabled. It
therefore has no effect on the filter settling time, which is defined by the parameter
assignment of interference frequency suppression and smoothing.

Filter settling time with strong smoothing

Circuit for resistance measurement

The following conditions apply when measuring the resistance and temperature with the SM
431; AI 8 x 14 Bit:

Table 5- 56 Channels for resistance measurement of the SM 431; AI 8 x 14 Bit (6ES7431-1KF10-0AB0)

Measuring type parameter Permissible for Condition

channel n
Resistance 0, 2, 4 or 6 You must disable the "Measuring type" parameter for channels
(4-conductor connection) n+1 (1, 3, 5, 7).
Reason: The connections of channel n+1 are used to supply the
resistance that is connected to channel n.

Unused channels
Unused channels can be left open. Set the measuring range modules to position "B". You
can improve the noise immunity of the module in a measuring environment with serious
interference by interconnecting M- and MANA.

Measuring ranges
Set the measuring ranges using the measuring range modules, and at the "measuring

This means that channels 0 and 1 are assigned.
Reason: If channel 0 is to be used as the
reference junction, a resistance-type sensor
must be connected there to record absolute
temperatures in the climatic range.

Unused channels
Unused channels can be left open. Set the measuring range modules to position "A". You
can improve the noise immunity of the module in a measuring environment with serious
interference by short-circuiting the channels.
For unused channels, set the "measuring method" parameter to "deactivated". This reduces
the module's cycle time.

Default
The "voltage" measuring method and "± 10 V" measuring range are set by default in
STEP 7. You can use this combination of measuring method and measuring range without
configuring the SM 431; AI 16 x 16 Bit in STEP 7.

Wire break monitoring

The wire break check is intended primarily for temperature measurements (TC, RTD) or
resistance measurements. Always configure the wire break check in these cases as this
ensures that in the event of a wire break the measured value provided by the module
accepts the data for overrun 7FFFH.

Special characteristics of the wire break check for the voltage measurement methods
In some transducers, incorrect measured values may occur due to the fact that the wire
break check is enabled. If so, disable the wire break check.
Reason: Some transducers try to correct the test current and in doing so corrupt the setpoint
value they provide.

Points to note about the wire break check when current sensors are connected
A wire break check of current sensors is not possible for the SM 431; AI 16 x 16 Bit except in
life-zero areas. You can therefore only configure the wire break check for the "Current (4-
wire transducer)" measuring method and the "4 to 20 mA" measuring range.

Checking for reference channel errors when connecting thermocouples

If you have connected a thermocouple, you can then enable the "Reference channel error"
diagnostics if you have configured an "RTD on Channel 0" or "Reference Temperature
Value" reference junction.

Points to note about checking for "Underflow" with some measuring methods and measuring ranges
There is now underflow in life-zero areas. A value that is too low or is negative is interpreted
as a wire break. You can therefore not configure the underflow check for the SM 431;
AI 16 x 16 Bit for the following measuring methods and ranges:

the "Current (2-wire transducer)" measuring method.

1The 6ES7431-7KFOO-0AB0 does not support the high and low ranges defined in S7 for
thermocouples. When the module reaches the operational limit defined for S7, the system outputs a
corresponding underflow (32768) or overflow (327767) signal.
2 Thermocouples can be operated above the specified temperatures.
The specified accuracy improves in the lower range and at higher temperature.
The accuracy of the thermocouple module can be calculated for other temperature ranges based on
the accuracy limit values of the input voltage and the emf/°C of the thermocouple.

4 Valid for the format of the output temperature and the dynamic reference temperature

Measured value smoothing

For generally valid information on analog value smoothing, refer to the section "Conversion
and cycle and response times of analog modules".
The cycle time of the module is a constant in the SM 431; AI 8 x 16 Bit that is not dependent
on the number of channels that are enabled. It therefore has no effect on the step response,
which is defined by the parameter assignment of interference frequency suppression and
smoothing.

6.1 Common features of the interface modules

Function
Interface modules (a send IM and a receive IM) are required if one or more expansion racks
(ER) are to be connected to a central rack (CR). This configuration is described in the
Installation manual.

Configuration
Interface modules must always be used together. The send modules (send IMs) are inserted
in the CR, whilst the corresponding receive modules (receive IMs) are plugged into the
series-connected ER.

6.1 Common features of the interface modules

Rules for connection

When you connect a central rack to expansion racks, you must observe the following rules:
● You can connect up to 21 ERs of the S7-400 to one CR.
● The ERs are assigned numbers to identify them. The rack number must be set on the
coding switch of the receive IM. Any rack number between 1 and 21 may be assigned.
Numbers must not be duplicated.
● You may insert up to six send IMs in one CR. However, only two send IMs with 5 V
transfer are allowed in one CR.
● Each line connected to the interface of a send IM can comprise up to four ERs (without
5 V transfer) or one ER (with 5 V transfer).
● The exchange of data via the communication bus is limited to 7 racks, meaning the CR
and ER numbers 1 to 6.
● The maximum (total) cable lengths specified for the type of connection must not be
exceeded.

Table 6- 3 Cable for different connections

Connection type Maximum (total) line

length
Local connection with 5 V transfer via IM 460-1 and IM 461-1 1.5 m
Local connection without 5 V transfer via IM 460-0 and IM 461-0 5m
Remote connection via IM 460-3 and IM 461-3 102.25 m
Remote connection via IM 460-4 and IM 461-4 605 m

Terminator
The bus must be terminated in the last EU of a line. To do this, plug in the appropriate
terminator in the lower front connector of the receive IM in the last EU of the line. Unused
front connectors in a send IM do not have to be terminated. The IM 461-1 does not require a
terminator.

Area of application
The IM 463-2 interface module is used for distributed connection of S5 expansion units to an
S7-400. You can use the IM 463-2 in the CR of the S7-400. You can use an IM 314 in the S5
expansion unit.
This allows you to connect the following S5 expansion units to an S7-400:
● EG 183U with IM 314 in slot 3
● EG 185U with IM 314 in slot 3
● EG 186U with IM 314 in slot 3
● ER 701-2 with IM 314 in slot 7
● ER 701-3 with IM 314 in slot 7
Accordingly, you can use all digital and analog I/O modules suitable for these EUs or ERs.

Basic requirement
If you connect an S5 expansion unit to a CR of the S7-400 via an IM 463-2, the SIMATIC S5
basic requirements concerning EMC, ambient conditions, etc., apply for the overall system.

Note
In environments contaminated by radiated noise, you must apply the type 721 cable shield
(see Installation manual).

7.2 Rules for connecting S5 expansion units

7.2 Rules for connecting S5 expansion units

Introduction
When you connect S5 expansion units to an S7-400 via the IM 463-2, there are rules to
observe with regard to cable length, maximum expansion, use of a terminating connector
and permissible potential differences.

Cable length
The maximum cable length per IM 463-2 from the CR of the S7-400 to the last S5 expansion
unit is 600 m. You set the actual cable length at the IM 463-2.

Maximum configuration
You can use up to four IM 463-2s in one S7-400 CR.
At each IM 463-2 interface (C1 and C2), you can connect up to four S5 expansion units in a
distributed configuration.
You can connect further EUs centrally to the EUs connected in the distributed configuration.

Addressing of the S5 modules

All S5 address areas are available (P, Q, IM3, IM4)

Note
Note that every S5 address can only be used once, even across different lines.

Terminator
You must terminate the IM 314 of the last EU in each line with the 6ES5760-1AA11
terminating connector.

Permissible potential differences

For the safe functioning of the distributed configuration, you must ensure that the potential
difference between two devices is not more than 7 V. Use an equipotential bonding
conductor.

Communication services
The IM 467/IM 467 FO offers two communication services:
● PROFIBUS DP
The IM 467/IM 467 FO is a PROFIBUS DP master in accordance with EN 50 170. It is
configured entirely with STEP 7. It behaves in basically the same way as the integrated
PROFIBUS DP interfaces on the CPU modules (see the specifications of the IM 467/
IM 467 FO for the differences).
DP communication does not require any function calls in the STEP 7 user program.
● S7 functions
The S7 functions guarantee optimal and easy communication in a SIMATIC S7/M7/C7
automation solution. The following S7 functions are enabled for the IM 467/IM 467 FO:
– Programming device functions via PROFIBUS DP
– Operator control and monitoring functions via PROFIBUS DP
Communication takes place without any additional configuration on the IM 467/
IM 467 FO.
S7 functions can be used on their own or in parallel with the PROFIBUS DP protocol. If
they are used in parallel with DP communication, this affects the PROFIBUS DP bus
cycle time.

Mode selector
You can switch operating modes as follows using the mode selector:
● From STOP to RUN
All the configured communication services and S7 communication services are available
in RUN.
The IM operating mode can only be controlled from the programming device/PC when the
switch is in the RUN position.
● From RUN to STOP
The IM goes into STOP mode. Any existing S7 connections are cleared down, and the
DP slaves are no longer supplied.

Loadable firmware
The IM 467/IM 467 FO supports the updating of firmware (FW) by means of the FW loader.
The FW loader is a component of the NCM S7 configuration software for PROFIBUS DP.
Authorization is not required for this. After a FW update, the central rack must be switched
off and on again before normal operation can be resumed.

Note
You can find additional information on loading firmware in the NCM S7 for PROFIBUS-DP
manual and in the readme file of the NCM S7 for PROFIBUS-DP configuration software.
An optical bus terminal (OBT) is required to load FW in the IM 467 FO.

8.2 Configuration

8.2 Configuration

Introduction
The IM 467/IM 467 FO is configured with STEP 7. The configuration data are retained even
in the event of a power failure; a memory module is not required. Using the S7 functions it is
possible to program and configure remotely all the IM 467/IM 467 FO connected to the
network and all the CPUs connected via the SIMATIC S7-400 backplane bus.
SIMATIC STEP 7, version 5.00 or higher is required.

Module replacement without a programming device

The configuration data are stored in the load memory of the CPU. The non-volatile storage of
configuration data in the CPU is ensured by battery backup or EPROM module cards.
The IM 467/IM 467 FO can be replaced without the need to explicitly reload the configuration
data.
It is only possible to remove and insert the IM 467/IM 467 FO in a de-energized state.

Multiprocessor operation
The connected DP slaves can only be assigned to and processed by one CPU.

Configuration and diagnostics cannot be carried out simultaneously

When configuration is in progress, the IM 467/IM 467 FO cannot be diagnosed at the same
time via MPI.

Note
The transmission rates 3 Mbit/s and 6 Mbit/s are not approved for IM467-FO.

8.3.4 Connecting a fiber-optic cable to the IM 467 FO

Required accessories
● Package with simplex connectors and polishing sets (6GK1901-0FB00-0AA0)
● Pack of plug-in adapters (6ES7195-1BE00-0XA0)

Installing connectors
1. Remove approximately 30 cm of the sheath of the fiber-optic duplex cable.
2. Install the fiber-optic duplex cable with the associated simplex connectors. You can find a
detailed description of simplex connectors in the SIMATIC NET PROFIBUS Networks
manual.
TIP: Close the two simplex connectors together rather than separately to obtain a duplex
connector. In this manner you will achieve a better hold in the plug adapter.
IMPORTANT: The polished surface of the plastic fibers must be absolutely smooth and
even. Likewise, the plastic jacket must not protrude or be cut unevenly. Every irregularity
causes strong attenuation of the light signal over the fiber-optic cable!
3. Place the simplex connectors in the plug-in adapter for the IM 467 FO and the fiber-optic
cable in the cable guides provided. Insert the plug-in adapter until you hear the sides
clearly latch into position.
Make sure when you insert the plugs in the plug-in adapter that the transmitter is always
at the top and the receiver is underneath.

8.3 Connection to PROFIBUS DP

(1) Plug-in adapter for the IM 467 FO

(2) Snap the two simplex connectors closed together such that you get a "duplex connector".
(3) Tip: Cut the lower cable approx. 10 mm shorter than the upper one to achieve better cable
routing in the cable duct of the IM 467 FO.
(4) Max. 30 mm bending radius
(5) Fiber-optic duplex cable

Reusing fiber-optic cable

Note
If you insert previously used fiber-optic cable into the plug adapter, you must shorten both
fiber-optic cores by the amount of the curved lengths and reinstall the simplex connectors.
This will prevent any attenuation losses caused by repeatedly bent, heavily stressed portions
of the fiber-optic duplex core.

Inserting the fiber-optic cables into the IM 467 FO

Insert the fiber-optic cable with the mounted plug adapters into the IM 467 FO. Fold the
protruding plug grip upward.
Make sure that it is correctly positioned: The transmitter fiber-optic cable is plugged into the
receiver socket, and the receiver fiber-optic cable is inserted into the transmitter socket of
the fiber-optic interface of the IM 467 FO.
If the IM 467 FO is the last node in the fiber-optic network, you must close the unoccupied
fiber-optic cable interface with blanking plugs (the plugs are already in place when the
IM 467 FO is delivered).

CAUTION

Do not look directly into the opening of the optical sender diodes.
The emitted light beam could damage your eyes.

interface to the PG/OP socket of the RS 485 repeater. The segment is grounded,
because the MPI in the PG is grounded, and the PG/OP socket of the RS 485 repeater is
connected internally with bus segment 1. This does not apply when the programming
device has a combination MPI/DP interface.

Grounded operation of the RS 485 repeater

For grounded operation of the RS 485 repeater, you must jump terminals "M" and "PE" on
the top of the RS 485 repeater.

Ungrounded operation of the RS 485 repeater

For ungrounded operation of the RS 485 repeater, "M" and "PE" on the top of the RS 485
repeater must not be interconnected. In addition, the supply voltage to the RS 485 repeater
must be ungrounded.

Parameter sets of signal modules A
A.1 How to assign the parameters for signal modules in the user
program

Parameter assignment in the user program

You have already assigned parameters to the modules in STEP 7.
In the user program, you can use an SFC:
● To assign new parameters to the module
● To transfer the parameters from the CPU to the addressed signal module

Parameters stored in data records

The signal module parameters are stored in data records 0 and 1.

Modifiable parameters
You can edit the parameters of data record 1, and then transfer these to the signal module
using SFC55. The CPU parameters are not changed by this action!
You cannot modify any parameters of data record 0 in the user program.

SFCs for parameter assignment

SFCs available for programming signal modules in the user program:

Table A- 1 SFCs for assigning parameters to signal modules

SFC No. Identifier Application

55 WR_PARM Transfer modifiable parameters (data record 1) to the addressed
signal module.
56 WR_DPARM Transfer parameters (data record 0 or 1) from the CPU to the
addressed signal module.
57 PARM_MOD Transfer all parameters (data record 0 and 1) from the CPU to
the addressed signal module.

Directive on handling electrostatic sensitive devices
(ESD) D
D.1 ESD: What are the directives for handling electrostatic sensitive
devices?

Definition
All electronic modules are equipped with large-scale integrated ICs or components. Due to
their design, these electronic components are highly sensitive to overvoltage, and thus to
any electrostatic discharge.
These Electrostatic Sensitive Devices/Modules are commonly abbreviated ESD.
Electrostatic sensitive devices are labeled with the following symbol:

CAUTION

Electrostatic sensitive devices can be destroyed by voltages far below the level perceived
by human beings. These voltages are generated when you touch a component or electrical
connections of a module without having discharged your body. In most cases, the damage
caused by overvoltage is not evident immediately, and results in damage only after a
prolonged period of operation.

Electrostatic charging
Any person with a non-conductive connection to the electrical potential of its surroundings
may be exposed to electrostatic charge.
The figure shows the maximum electrostatic voltage which may build up on a person coming
into contact with the materials indicated. These values are in conformity with the
specifications of IEC 61000-4-2.

D.3 Basic protective measures against electrostatic discharge

Ensure sufficient grounding

Make sure all persons, workplaces and packaging are sufficiently grounded when ESD
components are being handled. This prevents electrostatic charging.

Avoid direct contact

You should only touch ESD components if this is unavoidable (for example, during
maintenance work). Handle the modules without touching any chip pins or PCB traces. In
this way, the discharged energy can not affect the sensitive devices.
Discharge your body before you start taking any measurements on a module. Do so by
touching grounded metallic parts. Always use grounded measuring instruments.

shared data blocks that can be accessed by all logic blocks and there are instance data
blocks assigned to a specific FB call.

Default (setting)
The default is a practical basic setting that is always used when no other value is specified.

Diagnostics
Generic term for → system diagnostics, process fault diagnostics and user-defined
diagnostics.

Direct data exchange

Direct data exchange is sometimes also known as direct communication. In direct data
exchange, local input address areas of an intelligent DP slave (for example, CPU 315-2 with
PROFIBUS DP attachment) or a DP master are assigned to a PROFIBUS DP partner. The
intelligent DP slave or the DP master receives the input data that the PROFIBUS DP partner
sends to its DP master via these assigned input address areas.

DP master
A node with master functionality in PROFIBUS DP. A master that conforms to IEC 61784-
1:2002 Ed1 CP 3/1 with the DP protocol is known as a DP master. The token allowing
access to the bus is always passed on among the masters. The slaves, in this case DP
slaves, can only react when requested to by a master. The following distinction must be
made:
DP master (class 1): handles user data exchange with the DP slaves assigned to it.
DP master (class 2): Provides services such as: reading input/output data, diagnostics,
global control.

Fiber-optic cable
The "force" function overwrites a variable (for example, memory bit, output) with a value
defined by the user.
At the same time, the variable is write-protected so that the value cannot be modified from
any other location (it cannot, for example, be overwritten by the user program). After
removing the programming device, this value is retained.
The write-protection is canceled only after invoking the "unforce" function, following which
the variable can once again be written with the value set by the user program.
The "force" function can, for example, be used during commissioning to set specific outputs
to the "ON" state for any length of time even if the logic operation in the user program is not
true (due to missing wiring at inputs).
A fiber-optic cable is a transmission medium made of glass or plastic fiber. Fiber-optic cables
are insensitive to electromagnetic interference and allow high data transmission rates.

Function
According to IEC 1131-3, a function (FC) is a → logic block without → static data. A function
allows parameter passing in the user program. This makes them suitable for programming
commonly recurring complex functions such as calculations.

Function block
According to IEC 1131-3, a function block (FB) is a → logic block with → static data. An FB
has "memory" so that it is possible to access its parameters (for example outputs) from any
part of the user program.

Functional grounding
Grounding with the sole purpose of ensuring the intended function of the electrical
equipment. Functional grounding, short-circuits interfering voltages that would otherwise
have an unacceptable influence on the equipment.

Fuse blown
Parameter in STEP 7 for digital output modules. When the parameter is enabled, the blowing
of one or more fuses is detected by the module. With suitable parameter assignment, a →
diagnostic interrupt is triggered.

Grounding
Grounding means connecting an electrically conductive part to the ground electrode (one or
more conductive parts that make good contact with ground) via a grounding system.

Hardware interrupt
A hardware interrupt is triggered by interrupt-triggering modules due to a particular event in
the process (violation of a limit value, module has completed the cyclic conversion of its
channels).
The hardware interrupt is signaled to the CPU. In keeping with the priority of this interrupt,
the corresponding → organization block is then executed.

Hold last value (HLV)

The module retains the last value output prior to changing to STOP mode.

Hot restart
When a CPU starts up (for example as a result of activating the mode selector or turning on
the power), cyclic program execution (OB1) initially processes either OB101 (hot restart),
OB100 (cold restart: hot restart) or OB102 (cold restart). Backup of the CPU is absolutely
necessary for a hot restart.
The following applies: all data areas (timers, counters, memory bits, data blocks) and their
content are retained. The → process image of the inputs is read in and the execution of the
STEP 7 user program is continued from the point at which it was last stopped (STOP, power
down).
The other startup modes available are → cold restart and → warm restart.

I/O bus
Part of the → backplane bus in the automation system optimized for fast exchange of signals
between the CPU or CPUs and the signal modules.
Useful data (for example, digital input signals of a signal module) and system data (for
example default parameter data records of a signal module) is transferred over the I/O bus.

Input delay
Parameter in STEP 7 for digital input modules. The input delay is used to suppress coupled
interference. Spurious pulses of 0 ms up to the selected input delay are suppressed.
The selected input delay is subject to a tolerance that can be found in the technical
specifications of the module. A high input delay suppresses longer spurious pulses, a lower
delay suppresses shorter spurious pulses.
The permitted input delay depends on the length of the cable between sensor and module.
If, for example, there are long unshielded cables to the sensor (over 100 m), a high input
delay must be set.

Integration time
The integration time is the reciprocal of the → interference frequency suppression in ms.

Interrupt
SIMATIC S7 recognizes 28 different priority classes that control the execution of the
user program. These priority classes include interrupts, such as hardware interrupts. When
an interrupt occurs, the operating system automatically calls an assigned organization block
in which the user can program the required reaction (for example, in an FB).

Glossary

Interrupt reaction time

The interrupt reaction time is the time from the first occurrence of an interrupt signal to
executing the first statement in the interrupt OB. General rule: Higher priority interrupts are
serviced first. This means that the interrupt reaction time is extended by the program
execution time of the higher priority interrupts and interrupts with the same priority that were
called earlier (queue).

Linearity error
The linearity error indicates the maximum deviation of the measured/output value from the
ideal linear relationship between measured/output signal and digital value. This is specified
as a percentage related to the nominal range of the analog module.

Load memory
The load memory is part of a programmable module (CPU, CP). It contains the objects
generated by the programming device (local objects). It is implemented either as a plug-in
memory card or as integrated memory.

Local data
Local data is the data assigned to a → logic block that is declared in its → declaration section
or in its variable declaration. It includes the following (block-specific): Formal parameters,
→ static data, → temporary data.

Measuring principle, instantaneous value encoding

A module with instantaneous value encoding is always used for extremely fast measurement
methods or for values that change very quickly. With this technique, the module accesses
the variable to be measured as quickly as possible and returns an instantaneous recording
of the signal at a specific time. It should be remembered that due to this measurement
method, the modules are more "sensitive" than the modules using the integrating method. As
a result, interference affecting the measured value can lead to falsification. When using
these modules, you should make sure that the measurement signal is "clean", for example
by adhering to the installation instructions.

Measuring principle, integrating

A module with an integrating measurement technique is always used for measurements that
are not time-critical. The integration time is inversely proportional to the network frequency.
You set the network frequency in STEP 7 and this results in the integration time. At a
network frequency of 50 Hz, the integration time is 20 ms or even multiples of 20 ms. Since
the measured value is integrated over exactly this period, at least one or more entire periods
of the network frequency that may be superimposed on the measurement signal are also
recorded. The mean value of the interference is therefore integrated to zero (positive
component of the first half period = negative component of the second half period) and, as a
result of the principle, only the useful signal is detected.

Measuring range module

Measuring range submodules are plugged onto analog input modules to adapt them to
various measuring ranges.

Memory reset
During a memory reset, the following memory areas of the CPU are erased: Work memory,
write/read area of the load memory, system memory.
The MPI parameters and the diagnostic buffer are retained.

Mode
Mode means the following:
1. The mode in which the CPU operates as set by the mode selector or using a PG
2. The type of program execution on the CPU

Mode selector
Using the mode selector, the user can set the current mode of the CPU (RUN, STOP) or
reset the memory of the CPU (MRES).

Noise suppression
Parameter in STEP 7 for analog input modules. The frequency of the alternating voltage
power supply can interfere with the measured value, in particular when measuring small
voltage ranges and with thermoelements. With this parameter, the user specifies the
predominant power supply frequency in the system.

Non-isolated
With non-floating input/output modules, the reference potentials of the control and load
circuits are electrically interconnected.

Operating state
The automation systems of SIMATIC S7 recognize the following operating modes or simply
modes: STOP, → STARTUP, RUN and HOLD.

Operational limit

2. Variable for setting the properties of a module (one or more per module). When shipped,
every module has practical basic parameter settings that the user can modify in STEP 7.

Point-to-point link
On a point-to-point link, only two nodes are physically linked to each other. This type of
communications link is used when the use of a communication network is not practical or
when different types of nodes need to be connected (for example, PLC with process
computer).

Priority class
The S7 CPU operating system provides up to 28 priority classes (= program execution
levels"), for example for cyclic program execution, hardware interrupt-controlled program
execution.
Each priority class is assigned to → organization blocks in which the user can program a
reaction. The OBs have different default priorities and if the OBs are called at the same time,
the priority decides which executes first and which can interrupt another. The default
priorities can be modified by the user.

Process image
The signal states of the digital input and output modules are entered in a process image on
the CPU.
A distinction is made between the process image of the inputs and the outputs. The process
image of the inputs (PII) is read from the input modules by the operating system prior to
execution of the user program. The process image of the outputs (PIQ) is transferred to the
output modules by the operating system on completion of program execution.

Product version
The product version distinguishes products with the same order number. The product
version is incremented when upwards-compatible functional enhancements are made, when
there are modifications relating solely to production (use of new components) and when
bugs are fixed.

PROFIBUS DP
Digital, analog and intelligent modules, along with a wide range of field devices complying
with IEC 61784-1:2002 Ed1 CP 3/1, such as drives or valve clusters are moved away from
the automation system to the local process over distances of up to 23 km.
The modules and field devices are interconnected with the automation system over the
PROFIBUS DP Fieldbus and are addressed in the same way as centralized I/O.

A programming device (PG) is a personal computer with a special compact design, suitable
for industrial conditions. A programming device is completely equipped for programming the
SIMATIC automation systems.

RC element
Connection of ohmic resistor and capacitor in series. When a consumer is turned off, an
overvoltage occurs in circuits with an inductive load that can cause an electric arc and can
reduce the life of the contacts. To extinguish this electric arc, the contact can be bridged by
an RC element.

Reaction time
The reaction time is the time from detecting an input signal to changing the output signal
associated with it.
The actual reaction time is between a longest and a shortest reaction time. When configuring
a plant, the longest reaction time must always be assumed.

Reference channel error

Parameter in STEP 7 for analog input modules. This parameter enables the error group
message of the reference junction when using thermoelements. A reference channel error
occurs when using thermoelements:
● When a fault occurs (for example broken wire) in a reference channel to which a
thermoresistor (RTD) is connected (channel 0) to compensate temperature drift.
● When the → reference temperature is outside the permitted range of values.
Each input channel to which the reference junction "RTD on channel 0" is assigned has the
reference channel error in the situation described above - the measured temperature is no
longer compensated.

Reference junction
Parameter in STEP 7 for analog input modules. This parameter specifies the reference point
(point with known temperature) when using the thermoelements. Reference points can be:
Thermoresistor on channel 0 of the module; → compensating box, → reference temperature.

Reference temperature
Parameter in STEP 7 for analog input modules. The reference temperature is the
temperature of the reference junction of thermoelements. The reference temperature allows
correct temperature measurement with thermoelements. The temperature of the reference
junction must be known because a thermoelement always detects the temperature
difference between the measuring point and the reference junction.

Repeater
Device for amplifying bus signals and for linking → bus segments over long distances.

Repetition accuracy
The repetition accuracy is the maximum deviation of the measured/output values when the
same input signal is applied or the same output value is specified repeatedly. The repetition
accuracy relates to the nominal range of the module and applies to the settled state (in terms
of temperature).

Resolution
With analog modules, this is the number of bits that represent the digitalized analog value in
binary format. The resolution depends on the module and, with analog input modules, on the
→ integration time. The longer the integration time, the more precise the resolution of the
measured value. The resolution including sign can be up to 16 bits.

Retentive memory
Data areas in data blocks along with timers, counters and bit memory are retentive when
their content is retained through a warm restart or power cycle.

S7 basic communication

the user. These functions are called in the user program with → system functions. The user
data length is up to 76 bytes (small amounts of data). S7 basic communication is

individual module. The stronger the smoothing, the higher the time constant of the digital
filter.

Standard communication
Communication over standardized protocols such as PROFIBUS-DP, PROFIBUS-FMS.

Static data
Static data is data that is used only within a → function block. This data is stored in an
instance data block belonging to the function block. Data stored in this way is retained until
the next function block call.

Substitute value
Substitute values are values that are output to the process or are used in the user program
instead of a process value if a signal output module is defective.
The substitute values can be selected by the user in the parameter settings in STEP 7
(retain old value, substitute value 0 or 1). Are the values to be output at an output or outputs
