Configuration Rules for Fail-Safe Potential Groups 
The "Assigning Power Modules to Electronic Modules/Motor Starters and Safety Class" table 
lists all the fail-safe and standard power modules and electronic modules you can implement 
in a potential group. 
Configuration with Fail-Safe Motor Starters and Frequency Converters  
Use a PM-D F DC24V PROFIsafe for the selective shutdown of:  
●  Fail-safe motor starters (F-MS) F-DS1e-x, F-RS1e-x 
●  SINAMICS fail-safe frequency converters (F-FU) with ICU24(F) 
●  Fail-safe F-CM connection multipliers 
●  PM-D F X1 fail-safe power/expansion modules. 
The PM-D F DC24V PROFIsafe cannot supply other motor starters (such as DS1-x/RS1-x, 
DS1e-x/RS1e-x, DSS1e-x)! 
The fail-safe motor starters can be expanded: 
●  Up to safety class SIL3/Category 4/PLe with the Brake Control xB1, xB2 expansion 
modules 
●  Up to safety class SIL2/Category 3/PLd with the Brake Control xB3, xB4 expansion 
modules 
Example of a Configuration with Fail-safe Motor Starters  
The figure below shows an example of an ET 200S configuration with two fail-safe potential 
groups. The first potential group contains fail-safe motor starters and a connection multiplier. 
This configuration achieves safety class SIL3/Category 4/PLe.
