Preface 
Purpose of this manual 
This manual represents a useful reference and contains information on operations, 
descriptions of functions, and technical specifications of the CPU 410-5H Process 
Automation and the CPU 410 SMART.  
For information on installing and wiring this and other modules in order to set up an 
automation system, refer to Manual 
Automation System S7-400, Hardware and Installation
. 
This manual requires general knowledge of automation engineering.  
Moreover, it is assumed that the readership has sufficient knowledge of computers or 
equipment similar to a PC, such as programming devices, running under the Windows XP, 
Windows Server or Windows 7 operating system. The PCS7 Readme includes information 
on which operating system is suitable for your PCS7 configuration. The CPU 410-5H is 
configured using the PCS 7 software, and you should thus be familiar in the handling of this 
software.  
In particular when operating a CPU 410-5H system in potentially explosive atmospheres, you 
should always observe the information on the safety of electronic control systems provided in 
the appendix of Manual 
 Automation System S7-400, Hardware and Installation
. 
The manual is relevant to the following components: 
●  CPU 410–5H Process Automation; 6ES7 410-5HX08-0AB0 firmware version V8.0 and 
higher 
●  CPU 410 SMART; 6ES7 410-5HN08-0AB0 as of firmware version V8.0 
 
Note 
CPU 410-5H and CPU 410 SMART 
Except for the special features described in the section 
Properties and technical 
specifications of CPU 410 SMART
 (Page 203), the CPU 410 SMART behaves like a CPU 
-5H. Taking this section into consideration, the statements made in this manual about the 
-5H also apply to the CPU 410 SMART.
