Diagnostic 
Message 
Fault 
Detection 
Possible Causes  Corrective Measures 
Internal error  Always  Internal module fault 
has occurred 
Replace module 
Inserted module does 
not match 
configuration; incorrect 
parameter assignment 
Correct the configuration (compare actual 
and preset configuration), and check 
communication paths. Correct parameter 
assignment. 
Parameter 
assignment 
error 
Always 
PROFIsafe address set 
incorrectly in the F-
module 
Check whether the PROFIsafe address 
on the module matches the configuration 
in 
HW Config
 
Sensor voltage 
or load voltage 
missing 
Always  Supply voltage not 
available or too low 
(e.g. voltage dip on F-
module, this can also 
be caused, among 
other things, by a 
short-circuit on the 
P1/P2 buses) 
Check module for correct contact 
Error in communication 
between F-CPU and 
module due to 
defective PROFIBUS 
connection or higher 
than permissible EMI, 
for example 
Test PROFIBUS/PROFINET connection. 
Correct faults 
PROFIsafe monitoring 
time set too low 
Set a greater value for the "F monitoring 
time" parameter for the module in 
HW Config
 
Communication 
error 
Always 
Configuration of the F-
module does not match 
safety program 
Generate safety program again; then load 
configuration and safety program into F-
CPU again 
Safety-related 
shutdown 
Always  Switching frequency 
exceeded 
Reduce the switching frequency 
Generally Applicable Information on Diagnostics 
For information on diagnostics that pertains to all fail-safe modules (for example, for reading 
out diagnostic functions, or passivating channels), refer to the 
Diagnostics
 chapter in this 
manual.
