7.5.9  Diagnostic Functions of the EM 4/8 F-DI DC24V PROFIsafe 
Behavior in Case of Supply Voltage Failure    
Failure of the Vs1 and Vs2 sensor power supply of the EM 44/8 F-DI DC24V PROFIsafe is 
indicated by the 1VsF and 2VsF LED on the F-module. This information is also provided in 
the module (diagnostic entry). Either all channels of the module are passivated or, in case of 
channel-specific passivation, the relevant channels are passivated. 
In the case of a voltage dip in the external auxiliary voltage, the SF LED lights up, the 
module is passivated.  
With the subsequent supply recovery (level must remain above the specified value for at 
least 1 minute (refer to the technical specifications: voltages, currents, electrical potentials)) 
the SF LED goes out again, the module remains passivated. The SF LED flashes if there are 
no other errors, until the error is acknowledged. 
Behavior in Case of Cross-Circuit/Short-Circuit at the Sensor Supply 
When operating with programmed external sensor supply and blocked short-circuit test, you 
enable the detection of short-circuits to M at the sensor supplies and signaling at the 
corresponding VsFLED. No entries are made in the diagnostics data of the module. 
When operating with a configured external sensor supply and cyclic short-circuit test, you 
enable the detection of cross-circuits between 1Vs and 2Vs and short-circuits to M and P at 
the sensor supplies and signaling at the corresponding VsF LED. No entries are made in the 
diagnostics data of the module. 
Diagnostic functions           
The table below provides an overview of the diagnostic functions of the EM 4/8 F-DI DC24V 
PROFIsafe. The diagnostic functions are assigned either to one channel or to the entire 
module.
